Every boy spends ten weeks in each shop. He then repeats three of the shopsespending ten more weeks in each of the three shops. In the third year or ninth grade, he may drop industrial work, or choose any shop; he must do satisfactory work in that shop for one semester, to receive one credit. An in- dustrial record card is kept for each boy, from the day he enters the school. The information on this card helps the boys in choosing their shop, especially in the ninth grade, also in selecting a trade. Girls are welcome in any shop. A num- ber of girls are enrolled in the print shop. he Home Economic Department is available for the girls, aiming to give them a sound theory as to the meaning of home, its management, business prob lems, personal and household finance.
