The Pre-vocational Shops The pre-vocational shop is one of the most interesting manual training shops ina our school. There are numerous subjects to choose from, and when the various exercises in each group are completed, the boys choose another subject to work. on. The subjects consist of plumbing, battery work, house-wiring, bell work, tin smithing, learning how to cure the ills of Henry Ford's chariot, shoe cobbling, theory of electricity, and of course, Mr. Smiths favorite, radio. The boys get a little of each ol these projects and consequently one subject does not grow stale. The boys all like this work, and thank Nl r. Smith for pre-e senting these various types of subjects for the boys instead of the continuous wood work that the other shops have. ln one corner we see a poor Lizzie being worked over in general by a group- ol boys that try to fix the tortured liord :zo it will run. lfugene Briggs thinks that that car has never run and never will. ln :mother part of the shop Wlalter Baust. is rebuilding a battery that he thinks will work lol course nobody else thinks so l.
