MANUAL TRAINING. Manual Training has been a regular course in the public schools of Ironwood since the year 1908 when regular work was begun from the eighth grade up. During the last two years the boys of the sixth and seventh grades have been instructed in the simpler courses. The Manual Training course consists of bench work, cabinet-making, woodturning, patternmaking, foundry work, machine shop work, and blacksmithing. 1 he Manual Training building is a large two-story structure containing numerous rooms for the different kinds of work. The basement is used for foundry work and blacksmithing. The equipment is of the best kind to insure satisfactory work. In the foundry room which is on the right are materials for casting and molding. In one corner is a cupola that is used for the melting of iron when casting. The room across is the forge-room. 1 his room is equipped with forges and anvils for blacksmith work. The forges are provided with a very convenient blast and exhaust system. Besides these rooms there are also several storerooms and a boiler room. On the second floor are the machine shop and the wood-turning rooms. The machine shop contains six large lathes for metal turning, a planer, a milling machine, a shaper, two drills, a saw, and two grinders. All these machines are run by electric power. This room also has a tool-cage where all tools are kept. A check system is used to keep track of all tools given out. Time and job-cars on which each is given the time and cost for doing a certain job have been used this year for the first time. The wood-turning room which is right across from the machine shop is larger than the latter. There are eighteen wood-turning lathes in this room to each of which is attached a work bench with all necessary tools for carpenter work and cabinet-making. The larger pieces of machinery in the room are saws and planers. The upper floor is used for bench work and mechanical drawing. 1 he bench-work room has a set of twenty-two work-benches each with the necessary tools. The drawing room is larger and is equipped with twenty-four desks each containing a drawing set. The courses in Manual Training are divided according to the grades beginning with the sixth grade. The bench or carpenter-work is begun in the sixth grade and continued through the eighth. The ninth grade boys spend a semester at cabinet-making and one at wood-turning and the tenth grade boys have wood-turning one semester and foundry work the next. The machine shop and blacksmith work are also divided in the same way. The drawing classes are from the seventh grade up, each successive grade taking a more advanced course. 21
