ARTS The past two years have seen many changes in the course of study and work planned for the shop boys. Mr. Savage was appointed as head of our department and accomplished much toward changing our course to a general shop basis from the previous unit shop setup. This meant a wider range of shop subjects but not going deeply into any one. Under the former setup on a unit shop basis more time was allotted to fewer courses. We studied Advanced Metal and the History of Industrial Arts Education under Mr. Savage and he supervised our practice teaching in the general shop at South VVindham. Mr. Smith replaced Mr. Brown who retired last year. lle taught a laboratory course in Electricity, General Metal, and supervised the practice teaching in Metal VVork. Our new Electricity laboratory was the result of his labor and planning. Mr. Cilley's course in lVoodwork was expanded to include Bench VVork f use of hand toolsl. Woodturning. and Pattern- making. NVe also had Mechanical, Ma- chine, Arcliitecttiral Drawing, and Cabi- net VVork from him. He supervised all our practice teaching in Drafting and XVoodwork in Academy Hall. Mr. Packard taught us Printing, Sheet Metal, and Guidance. This year he had the grade classes in the printshop. A lVe had many of the same courses that the other divisions had. VVe spent much time studying Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus which we had from Mr. Hill and Miss Upton. Elementary Industrial Arts and Freshman Biology from Miss Keene, School Law, and General Science from Mr. VVoodward, Hygiene from Miss Flint, Sociology from Mr. Bassett, Prin- ciples of Teaching from Dr. Bailey, Oral English from Mr. Sloat, Literature from Miss Lewis, and Social Science from Miss VVood. Sociology, Hygiene, and Literature were added to our course. Practically all of our courses were either new or were altered greatly. The purpose of these changes was to produce a teacher who could instruct pupils in any phase at all of elementary shop work. elementary science, or mathe- matics. It was felt that an elementary knowl- edge of many phases of industry was more desirable than a more extensive knowledge of two or three, To make this reorganization possible and to further the purposes outlined above many prominent and radical changes were made in the physical layout. Academy Hall used to have three separate shops on the first floor, Vtlood- turning, Machine, and a Drafting room: two shops on the second, Bench VVood- working and a Cabinet shop. Since being remodeled it had on the first Hoor a large shop for all the woodworking including many new machines, new benches, large tool closets amply equipped. and a small but excellent finishing room. On the second floor in place of the Cabinet shop was a fine, quiet library of all types of shop books. and a new electrical labona- tory. VVhere the bench room had been there was a new drafting room and a small storeroom. Mr. Smith's and Mr. Cilley's offices were here also. The brick building where the old Sheet Metal and Forge shops used to he was rebuilt. It was changed to a general metal shop, and forging, welding, pattern- casting, machine shop, sheet and art metal were taught. lt was equipped with metal- working lathes, shapers. a milling ma- chine, forge, pattern-casting equipment. gas furnaces, welding equipment, and sheet and art metal equipment. The government has been operating a night school here from four in the after- noon until eight in the morning. They were being trained to operate machines. Mr, Savage had his office in this build- ing and a new heating system was installed. Of course much of this sudden interest in the Industrial Arts Courses here and throughout the country was due to the war situation. llowever, it was felt that, due to the steady growth of this phase of education prior to the war and the now proven need of it, there will be little or no decline in interest.
