Its study not only gives one the ability to express thoughts hitherto impossible, but develops the constructive imagination and the habit of exact thinking. The Mechanical Drawing Department of Marshall High School was first organized in 1925 and for a while was taught in connection with Manual Train- ing. The department is well equipped with twenty-four adjustable-top drawing tables with locker compartments. The instruments are furnished by the school. A textbook is used which gives instructions for the plates to be drawn. The student is given opportunity to make working drawings and blue-prints oi pro- jects constructed in the school shops. Two years of work are offered. The problems are taken from a broad held of mechanical work, including sheet metal work, machine parts, cast iron piping, cast- ings and forgings, bench woodworking, house plants, etc., correlating as much as possible with school shop work. -iuini.

Two rooms are used for this course. The large room contains the work benches, the machines, and the tool room. The smaller room is used as the finishing room. The machines used are the grinder, the jointer, the power saw, and the lathe. These are operated only by the second year students who are more capable of handling them. Nearly every kind of furniture is made by the boys. They are required to make a drawing of the project before starting on it. ' O-ne of the projects this year was the making of hber furniture, such as chairs, porch swings, tea carts, small card tables and smoking stands, the other, the using of reed in making baskets. There are about twenty-six girls studying basketry during the activity period. One hundred and hfty boys are taking Manual Training this year. Besides the benefits accruing from the making of articles the pupils derive much benefit in the acquired skill in using hands and brain co-ordinately. inilvig sQ.nins.q 'infuse 'inning 111505, -Luigi, ,i,,.5,,.s, ,it ,it ,Lt snitw.. -L' 'il ,it Pc1geI2

There are two sets which must be completed before the end of the school term. The Commercial Course consists of Shorthand, two yearsg Bookkeeping, one yearg and Typewriting, two years. There are approximately one hundred and twenty-five students enrolled in this department. After the completion of a two-year Commercial Course, a student is capable of taking up work in an office. Marshall High School has Commercial graduates who are successfully occupying responsible positions. Shorthand teaches the student to take dictation with accuracy and speed and to transcribe notes with rapidity. Shorthand is exceedingly beneficial in training the power of concentration. Speed tests given several times each week create a great deal of interest in the typing classes, as each student who attains a speed of forty, fifty, sixty, seventy or eighty words per minute, net, is awarded a pin by the typewriter companies. A district typewriting contest is held each year to determine the winner, who competes with others in the State Meet held at Columbia. ininig -Qwuinin -in asain wi-niuia suing vxninininiui, giving -505,5 -ingui, Page 14
