ol----THE EPOCH,1927-1- o MANUAL TRAINING Only a few short years ago the boys and girls received practical train- ing for home duties under the guidance of father and mother. Boys and girls in this way became fitted to care for their own home. The present- day home does not offer such training, and the school is attempting to give courses that will train for home-making. Manual training is one of these courses, and it is a required course for all boys in the seventh. eighth, and first year of high school. The course is made as practical as possible. Boys in the seventh and eighth grades no not make many projectsg he1'e they are taught the fundamentals of wood working. Boys in these grades are taught the names of common tools, also they are taught their parts and uses. The boys are permitted to make such projects as key rack, tie rack, broom holder, cutting board. book rack. By making such projects they are required to put to use the knowledge gained concerning the parts and uses of tools. The high school class takes up advanced work and should be allowed to work on machinery. The machinery should consist of a planer, jointer, rip and cut-off saws, band saw, and lathe. Although at present our shop is not equipped with such machinery. it is hoped by next season that we will have this equipment. In the manual training classes, boys not only learn to make minor repairs around the home but also to make useful articles as tables. pedestals. medicine cabinets, book cases, etc.
