PRACTICAL ARTS TOOLS OF THE TRADE Everyone unaccustomed to being in the shop department was surprised and impressed at the quality and variety of skills in evidence. During the half-year devoted to metal shop, the projects built varied from useful tools and auto- mobile parts to air compressors. The well-equipped shop made it possible to create not only from metal, but also from wood. Tables, bowls, lamps, shelves, and a boat were some of the many articles completed in the wood shop this year. The Mechanical Drawing students learned to put their ideas down graphically. Their problems ranged from the technical to the specialized, and many future architects and designers spent hours sketching and drawing. The Home Economics course at Brandywine provided an opportunity for many girls to become skillful in the domestic arts. These students learned the many aspects of sewing- the fundamentals of dress-making, the importance of color and design, and the changing styles. Cooking was also an essential part of the program. Besides the traditional baking of cakes and cookies, the girls preserved food by canning and freezing, planned meals, and learned various handy hints. In addition to these necessary skills, the homemakers of tomorrow became acquainted with child care and interior decoration. MR. HARRY R.
