Time flies when one is working toward a goal. Boys in the woodwork classes are learning to be the skilled workmen of tomorrow. Future builders will come from the mechanical drawing classes, who are taught a craft in which accuracy and neatness figure most highly. Different types of mechanics are taught in the shop classes and the boys get varied inform- ation on auto parts and paint and re-decoration projects. Many boys are interested in the me- chanical drawing classes, because it is a good place to develop creative ability. This is an important phase in the curriculum, since it pre- pares a great many boys for the future.
