The Industrial Arts boys have fifteen clock hours per week in the Print Shop and are instructed in hand composition, lock-up, press feeding, make ready and stock cutting. It is the aim of this department to plan the course of study that a student having been two years in this shop is the equal of a boy who has served one year's apprenticeship in the trade. The boys in the Foreign Language and other Courses receive instruction only 180 minutes per Week. 41

MACHINE SHGP Machine Shop is as well equipped with hand and machine tools as many small commercial shops. This gives the stu- dent who selects the Machine Course the chance to be- come familiar with the handling of these tools through the building of small projects which embody the various mech- anical processes. The course is divided into four semesters of work with a gradual increasing of the ditiiculties of the jobs assigned. With few exceptions all projects built have a direct commercial value and can be taken home by the boy and put to use. The boy who remains four or more semesters in the shop goes into industry for which he is best suited. 43
