It may be called a post-graduate course. The courses taken by the fourth year pupils may he divided into three classes, architectural, electrical and mechanical. Lender the archi¬ tectural course fall, drafting, trac¬ ing, house planning, stone drafting and perspective drawing. With this the student has two academic sub¬ jects, mathcmetics and English. The electrical course includes armature- winding and work at the switch¬ boards and machines. In drafting the work is based on projects from the electrical department. The mechanical course includes such technical subjects as machine shop practice, foundry, pattern-making, electricty and drafting. The elec¬ trical and mechanical course also i ncludes mathematics, English and practical themistry. The student, by attending this fourth year course, will find that, when the time comes for him to go into the world alone that he will be preferred by an employer to the young workers without such train¬ ing. On graduating from the fourth year course, the student may, if he wishes, attend College and enter the engineering course. That the fourth year course is proving a success is shown by the fact that its enrolment is increasing each year, and it is probably that in a few years graduation from the technical courses will take place not at the end of three years as now but at the end of four years.

On floor No. 3 of the Technical Towers All students keep busy tor many long hours. At five minutes to nine we hop into place, If not, the blue slip tells we’ve fallen from grace. At nine o’clock sharp the bell rings again, And we file down the corridor with book, pencil and pen.

The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 49 Wood-turning exercises followed by making a table lamp, introduce the boy to the machines. In the second year building con¬ struction (frame dwellings) is studied so as to show good and bad practices sometimes employed in the building trades. The steel square, its many uses in the framing of houses and other tools employed in carpentry and cabinet work are studied. During this year the pupil is allowed to use the machine to the utmost of his ability. Sawing is done on the circular and band saws. Planing, jointing, shaping, mortis¬ ing, tenoning, trimming and sand¬ papering operations are done on the machine specially constructed for the purpose. The boys in this group make by production methods a beautiful End Table. 1 he third year course consists of more accurate work. Actual con¬ structive work is undertaken. Every department of the school has equip¬ ment that has been made by this class. They study further pos¬ sibilities of the steel square, roof framing’, stair building, estimating, and do all their work from blue prints. The boy that takes the full course becomes a very competent worker.
