,. 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'
