This industrial department holds many a boy in school, from one term, to two or three years longer than he would stay in a school of the old type. The privilege of changing from one shop to another often means the choosing of that type of work after leaving school for which the boy is fitted and really likes, thus preventing the litting of round pegs in square holes. 31 YY- WY- ., .

, 5 SHEET METAL Not only is sheet metal an important branch of the building industry, but it also enters into many others, as the auto- mobile industry, electric signs, etc. The skilled mechanic must have a good working knowledge of mathematics, me- chanical drawing, geometry, freehand drawing and design- ing so these subjects enter into the course of study for these pupils. The shop course is laid out to comprise the making of working drawings, pattern drafting, and the com. plicated manipulation of galvanized metal, tin iron and cop- per. Special attention is given tothe designing and con- struction of the skeleton angle iron frame as angle iron is now much used in all up to date shop. 33
