THE KODAK MANUAL TRAINING BY PROFESSOR McCARTHY In the field of vocational training nothing offers more interest to the boys than that represented by the Manual Arts and Crafts. To do things with the hands is the first impulse of the average male. When the boy in the country makes himself a sled or bow and arrows, he feels the spirit of genius welling up in his soul. Manual Training interests a boy from the very outset, his longing for a pocket knife is born of his desire to whittle something, to make his bow and arrows. When he gets into school he finds a kit of tools there for him and a piece of wood to operate on, and his heart leaps up in joy, and if his interest is thus continuously sustained, when he reaches High School and finds himself surrounded by lathes, band saws, hand pointer, and other power driven machinery, his ability to do things is enlarged and he is on the way to the greatest usefulness to society. Manual Training in the Sapulpa Schools is offered to the 7th and 8th grades and the first two years in High School. The department has increased in the years it has been organized and is now of very good size. At first only bench work was offered. The High School now offers courses in mechanical, bench work and wood turning. Two lathes and a planer were added this past year. This coming year we hope to have added a saw, and at least two more lathes, so that a course in pattern making may be added and more extensive cabinet work done.

THE KODAK is truly cultural. We, as a people, have not appreciated this and have not tried to solve this vital problem. I maintain that the work in each department of the high school should be of the greatest possible value and interest to the boy and girl whose school days end with this brief four years. After all, it is life for which we are preparing. I call for an adjustment to this life and can see no better field for this than in the science department. DOMESTIC SCIENCE BY ESTHER EAKIN “We may live without poetry, music, and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. He may live without books—what his knowledge but greiving? He may live without hope—what his hope but deceiving? He may live without love—what his passion but pining? But where is the man who can live without dining?” —Merideth Domestic Science is claiming a higher place in our accomplishments today than ever before. It is now taught in all the principal schools of our country and has proven very successful, partly because it gives the student a decided change in the daily routine of study. Here it has been very pleasant and successful under the supervision of Miss Irene Dunckle, our efficient Domestic Science teacher. The Domestic Science work was established in the Sapulpa schools in 1911. The equipment now ranks with the best in the state and the steady increase of students in this department each year shows the hearty approval of the parent as well as the pupil. At the end of each school term the garments made in the sewing department and the canned fruit, jelly, and cookery are put on special exhibition. At all times the patrons are given a cordial welcome to visit this department. Our young people are fast learning that the art of cooking is not all manual labor or drudgery, but may be worked out scientifically and economically. As this department has proven so successful, may we not expect the next generation to be better prepared home-makers?
