Putnam i Continued buildings to offer more complete and still more differentiated courses. A manual training course in woodworking was perhaps the fore-runner of the whole vocational system of our school. Such a course was introduced in 1910 and met with instant approval of the students. lt grew rapidly from a very few to almost four hun- dred students and so far exceeded the capa- city of the equipment that it was necessary to incorporate it .in the new woodworking de- partment of the vocational school, and it has come to include courses in patternmaking, cabinetmaking and carpentry. The plumbing and electrical departments are cooperating with this department in the most practical kind of work possible-the ac- tual erection of a modern home, the installa- tion of its complete plumbing system and finally the electrical wiring from service to fixtures. The mechanical drawing depart- ment, installed in large, well Lighted rooms, is also supplied with the practical designing of various kinds of equipment used about the school and in the work of the shops. fron i Page 1.2 The machine shops and the automobile de- partment are building the hcst of foundations for the work of their students hy presenting actual problems, which they may later meet. for class solution. The printing department, containing that is said to he the most complete. up-to-date equipment of any public school in this coun- try , has already exhihited its value and abil- ity in the production of our school magazines and in continuing will aiiford the tinest prac- tice to its fortunate students. Thus, from an obscure existence, scarcely fifty years ago, has .loliet Township High School risen to a position among the foremost educational institutions in the courty. From an existence as of a minute speck of propo- plasm it has developed into a complex struc- ture of many organs and many cells and whether the cells he 315 or 301, you might he compared to an insignificant, yet quite neces- sary little speck of protoplasm within its cell world. Now then, aren't you proud? Albert C. Hagmayer. Page Thirteen
