Mr. Walcott, Mr. Sanford. ART. SHOP AND MECHANICAL DRAWING The shop and :iff department has been fortunate this year to enlarge its equipment to such an extent that the instructors have been able to give the students more individual attention. A complete new shop has been so equipped as to enable the students to work under congenial conditions. Under the expert supervision of Mr. Chester H. VValcott, the boys in mechanical drawing have made wonderful progress in the study of archi- tecture. VVith individual instruction the students have learned the funda- mentals of drawing, and as the year advanced, they undertook more dif- ficult subjects. Excellent free hand drawings have been produced, and the dream homes of the students have been designed with an eye to the future. In the shop under the guidance of Mr. Frank Sanford, many useful articles have been made, such as bookcases, picture frames, tables M all to be put to good use in the rooms. This invaluable training will prove its worth many times over in years to come. Early in the spring the Academy lost the services of Mr. Sanford, but under the able guidance of Mr. Blair Kinsman as head of the shop department and of Mr. Nash as art director, the art and shop course was able to continue as in normal conditions. The art and mechanical department with its new organization has im- proved its efficiency and now feels fully capable to present adequate train-. ing under conditions which are suited for it.
