The girls worlc under the supervision of Nliss Lily Hawl-:inson and Miss Frances Reynolds, Cen- tral's two clothing teachers, There are three classes. seventh. eighth and ninth grades, The seventh grade has met three times a weelc and thev have made a pair of pajamas. hemmed a towel and done mending. They have had discussion of materials one day out of The dresses and learned to patch and mend. ln the se- lection studied tvpe. the lcind of dress suited to their persons and the three. eighth grade girls have made cotton of the material for their dresses thev colors suitnhle for their own particular the suitahilitx of the dresses to the uses for which they wanted them. At the end of the term the girls exchanged dresses and graded each others. They have met three times a weelc with one day of recitation. The ninth grade girls, whose taslc was of course the hardest, have completed more elaborate f'l'-.vi-n dresses. Their workmanship is much better and they have gone much more into detail in the se- lection of their material in relation to the color and value. Thev have made a general studv of the economic problems of the dress material which will he of great service to them late: on. The ninth grade toolc up budgeting and ac- counting. learned what it meant. and its relation to the familv from an economic standpoint. And lastlv. thev made a dress for a child under six. In this prohlem thev studied healthful clothing for children. Thev met everv dav in the week. Thev had discussions two times a week. It has heen found that with a few exceptions girls who are good in other things will also he good in sewing and if thev fall down in other subjects they will do the same here. Xlost giris like it because it is an occupation that belongs to them and for this reason thev enjov the worlc. The suhject matter is not made up of a great manv things which are of no use to the girls hut onlv of the practical things which thev will lind useful later. ty -l'4-url

,. E THE Iijxioia CL.iss1c - T U. - -ff s Sixth Hour Shop The shop in Central includes lathe work. bench. auto repair. forging, foundrv, woodwork- ing, electrical and tin work. ln lathe work the boys have a choice of several jobs. Thev choose their jobs. are given a certain length of time in which to finish them. and are given certain dimensions that thev must follow. These specifications are on blue-prints. ln prac- tically all of the other departments this same method is used. The foundtv department makes molds for cast- ings and if the molds are good enough the bovs are allowed to pour them, ln auto repair there are several Fords which the bovs take apart and put together. In the forging department the hovs hammer out steel into ditierent tools which are useful. .-Xnd so on through the departments the hovs ir-ake different things which will give them wider knowledge. greater accuracv. neatness. and lastlv the ahilitv to make something useful for them- selves. hflr. Kinsev is in charge of the woodwork. electrical and tin shops. 5-lr. Stevason is in charge of lathe, bench. foundrv, forging and auto repair. It is the aim when making out the semester programs of the hovs to have them get some experience in each department. This gives them a varietv of knowl- edge in manual training. Some of the articles that the pupils make are screw-drivers. hammers. chisels. plumb-hohs. valve grinders. hand spades. hack saws, and manv other useful tools. In Nlr. Kinse-fs department the hovs set up electrical jobs. make cookv cutters. and game boards. In lathe work the pupils must cut the steel to a thousandth ot an inch. There is so much line work to he done that expensive machinerv is needed and for this reason the best of care must he given it. The hovs choose their foreman for the shop and he excuses the pupils. carries out the instruc- tion of the shop teacher. checks the tools and keeps order. The johsheets have questions on them and when the pupil finishes certain stages of his Joh he must answer these satisfactorily. If there is anv uncertaintv about anv of these ques- tions the instructor explains it thoroughlv. Thus in this efficient manner the shops are run and keep teaching the hovs new things everv period about mechanics. lTwe'1Ly-live'
