The Arti.wuu, now celebrating its twenty-fifth birthday, is no longer an infant. The present issue is over six times the size ol' that tirst attempt. Twenty-tive years is a long time, even for a school paper. Many famous men have passed through the portals of this in- stitution in that time. A great war has rocked the nations, and men from llleehanie Arts lligh School have given their all for their eountr.v's cause: but still The Artisan lives on. It is not the possession ol' one class or divisiong it is the living spirit of the sehool and all that it stands for. 'It is not a ease ot' Will you support the sehool paper? You mu-sf support it!

MQLEQD, '32, Everybody knows the first principles in gardening-weeding, pruning, watering. cultivating, killing oti' natural enemies, and em-ouraging natural advantages. Life is equally simple: the rules are known to everyone: industry, fairness, economy. bring good results: idleness, earelessness, diseourtesy, unfairness, bring had results. Why. then, do so many people persist in the wrong plan? In gardening, no one cultivates weeds! THE A RTI SAN 7 COMMENCEMENT It may seem strange to many of us that graduation is re- ferred to as Commencement. But, consider it carefully: Is it not the beginning ot' our life out in the world? Some of us will continue our studies in higher institutions to prepare fur- ther for our life's work, while others will take up their work directly. ln either case a great, wondrous new task is begun, and we must remember that, despite the excellent training we have received in our high school, it will take all we have to in- sure ourselves even the most moderate success. With this in mind, when we have left Mechanic Arts High School, let us Work with all our power for the betterment of ourselves and the main- tenance of the reputation of Mechanic Arts High School. Let Commencement be the reall begin-ning of a life of usefulness, of achievement, and of honor. A. WILKES, '31. WHY AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION? The members of the senior class have been asked to join the alunmi association of the school. The question arises: What is the purpose of the association ? To most, the alumni associa- tion is a means of bringing the graduates together once a year, when a good time is had by all. However, a more serious purpose. should, animate the alumni body that is to include the greater percentage of the graduates among its members. Graduates of tl1e school ought to feel an obligation to help the school by encouraging and helping the students. Individu- ally, the alumni can do very little, united, the possibilities are great. There are numbers of high school students Who yearly enjoy the benefits of scholarships established by alumni associa- tions. In our own case there have been as yet few uch con- tributions from the alunmi association. This may be due to lack of co-operation among the graduates, or to other causes. The alumni association can also be of help to the school by making M. A. H. S. men in every walk of life better acquainted with one anotherg by aiding graduates to find their place in life, and by furthering movements designed to aid school progress. ln what way can you personally help the association? By joining now and maintaining an active interest in all alumni affairs. Join the M. A. H. S. Alumni Association and do your share to make it an organization helpful to the school and to its members. S 'I'lll'l AICTISAN FROM OUR HEAD MASTER Dear Artisan liditor: In my last .Iune letter to the graduating class I refrained from giving any advice as to the future, but circumstances have changed enormously since that time, and l feel justified in de- parting from that policy. Some of you who would ordinarily continue your education will this year tind it necessary to seek employment immediately if you can find it. f'onditions, however, are such that work is hard to find, and for that reason I would advise you to go to some higher institution if you can possibly do so, even if it is only for one year. I'onditions cannot always continue as they are, although the improvement may be slow, and the more you prepare yourselves to take advantage of the opportulnities that will come later, the more rapid will be your advancement when economic conditions improve. Those who must work cannot afford to be too particular what they do. Any honest work is better than idleness. My advice, then, is to take the first job you can get, keep it until you get a better one, but don't be satisfied until you do get a he.tter one. The best way to make sure of steady employment and ad- vancement is to make yourself indispensable to your employer, to make yourself so useful to l1in1 that he will find it impossible to replace you, or to run his business without you. If people wish to buy goods they go to a merchant who has the reputation of' giving a fair value for the money spent. If people employ men they look for a fair day's work for a fair day's pay, and the man who does not give it is sure to lose when in competition with those who do. Whenever the time comes when you can choose between several lines of work, it will be wise for you to avoid those occu- pations that are seasonal or overcrowded. Probably seventy-five per cent of the boys who enter this school think they want to enter radio or aviation. and yet both are seasonal and both are crowded, except for a few highly educated and highly trained engineers. Tllli ARTISAN 9 But while. I am in the business of giving advice, I may as well add a few words to those who are to enter higher institu- tions. In this, as in most things, the best is none too good. The more dilficult it is to enter a college., and the harder it is to remain after entering, the more desirable that institution be- comes. You pay more in money and in etfort, but you get more for what you pay. The test of an educational institution is not what you pay, but what you get. And now a word to all of you: I should feel disappointed if I did not believe that you, have 001118 to realize. during your Course in the M. A. II. S. that we, the head master and teachers, have a very personal interest in your future. YVe have tried to give you the best that is in us, and our interest will not cease when you have received your diplomas. VVhatever your future. may be, we wish you well. Very truly yours, June Sl, 1931. A. II. MORRISON, H oacl M astcr. 'CI understand they are going to close the public library for a while.

The mare was nervous, the screaming wind terrifying her to sm-h an extent that words were not sufficient to soothe her. Steady, girl! urged Ted, patting her sleek neck. This is a cheerless part of the world, I know, but it's our job to go where we're sent. illll sorry, though, that I missed the turn at Four Pines and brought you so far out of your right course. Ted XVeston was not familiar with this barren stretch of deserted lands, for he was attached to the Mounted Police Sta- tion at Eastport. Late that afternoon, when he had reported for duty, he had been told to set off for lvllllllilllllltflll, where he was required for special duty at a fair on the following day. Unfortunately, not being familiar with this inland country, Ted had lost his way, and he now thought that in order to reach Midhaxnpton he would have to wend his way over the deserted and forbidding nlarshland. The fury of the gale had come to add to his other troubles. Ted called eiicoui-agingly to his horse. Come along, old girl. let's make a gallop of it. The faster we go the sooner we shall be in comfortable quarters in Mid- hampton. Tlllfl ARTISAN 11 The mare responded at once to ,her master's well-known voice, and she had covered a quarter of a mile at a brisk pace wl1en a withered pine, shattered by the gale, came smashing down across the road in her path. The mare reared in terror, scream- ing, and the next minute bounded forward. All right, old girl. you'1l run yourself out! Ted said. Through tl1e roaring gale the animal raced, until suddenly a man ran into the road just ahead of her, shouting and Waving his arms. Hey! Stop! he called out. Wait a minute. I- The mare swerved, her glistening black shoulder struck the man a glancing blow, and he went spinning to the side of the road. The incident forced Ted XVeston to abandon l1is original in- tention of letting the mare run herself out, and he was com- pelled to use the full strength of his arms and legs on her. His violent methods seemed to surprise her, as she faltered in her pace and slackened her speed. That was the end of her tempo- rary revolt, and after a few seconds responding to the trooper, she turned in the road and meekly trotted back to the spot Where the fallen lllilll lay. As the mare halted. Ted leaped from the saddle and moved quickly to the side of the injured Wayfarer. He was quite a small man, almost entirely enveloped in an overcoat that was several sizes too big for him. He moved when Ted leaned over him illlll the action caused his overcoat to fall apart. Ted's concern for the man's injuries gave place at once to amazement, for beneath his long coat the stranger wore the gaudy uniform of a convict. Tim Horst: or llfIYS'l'ERY HE convict opened his eyes and looked up in bewilder- ,M , ment at the face of the young trooper. Then the sight ' of the policeman's peaked hat seemed to reassure him, and he sighed as though with relief. So l'm back l1o1ne again ill the 'cooler'l he murmured.

You're not back there yet, and Pm not a prison warden. I'm a mounted policeman, and a few main- utes ago my horse knocked you over. XVhat's your name? Pm Blinky Jones, otherwise Convict 1167, doing three years for getting mixed up with a gang of crooks, said the convict. I ain't complaining, either, 'cause I asked for trouble and got it I You've made your troubles worse by breaking prison, said Ted not unkindly, for there was something rather attractive about tl1e whimsical faee of the runaway. He looked in no sense a dangerous man, and gave the impression that bad luck, rather than had character, had got him into trouble. I VYait a second. said the little man, jumping to his feet. l've just remembered that l've got something to tell you-some thing important! There's going to be a murder near here to- night Z Unable to take this announcement seriously, Ted smiled. Oh ! he said. You'rc not thinking of killing me, I hope? Not likely, that's not my game, retorted Blinky. Listen! A while ago I was hiding among some bushes when some men stopped near and started talking. They was Hindus from India. Hindus from India ? asked Ted. W'ell, what about it? ' t'They talked in their native lingof, went on Blinky, but I understood them, ,cause I spent five years in the army out there. They said that tonight they was going to kill a man by the name of John Lane, who lives in a house called Lonesome, which is near the marsh. IVhen they l1ad gone I didnlt know what to do, so I set off in hopes of getting some help. While I was on my way I came to the house. Just where is this place? asked Ted. Not a quarter of a mile from here, answered the convict. It's a house surrounded by great, high, stone walls, and with great double gates of wood, just like a jail. I thought it was a jail until I saw the name 'Lonesome' on the gates. lVell, what did you do then ? asked Ted. I . I banged on the gates trying to make somebody hear, ex- plained Blinky. But nobody came, so l elimbed up a tree and looked over the walls, hoping to see somebody in the garden. 'tAnd you saw nobody? TIIE A RTISAN 13 Not as much as a dog, answered Blinky. I saw the house, though, and a bum-lookingplace it was-ugly and square, just like a big chunk of stone with windows in it. t'And as you failed to attract the notice of anybody in the house, you set otf to tell somebody else ot what you had heard ? 'That's it,', agreed the co11vict. f'And when you came tearing along the road I called to you-and got knocked oft? me pins for my trouble I 'Tm sorry about that, said XVeston. But tell me, Jones, are you quite sure that you haven't invented this story VVhy, I ain't got the brains to think up a yarn like that, protested Blinky. No, it's the truth I'm telling you-the whole truth and nothing but the truth! Them three Hindus, or they might have been Burmese XVallahsg I ain't sure of that, they means dirty workll' Ted paused for some moments. Obviously, his first duty was to capture Blinky Jones and see him placed safely under lock and key. Against this was his own natural impulse to tind out if there was any truth in the man's strange story, and having sized up Blinky, he was inclined to believe' that an early visit to Lonesome was quite desirable. Look here, Jones, he said suddenly. If I take you back with me to 'Lonesomej you'1l have to be on trust. If anything happens which causes me to take my eye otf you, you Won't beat it? Not me, answered the convict fervently. I've had enough playing 'cops and robbers' for the past day, and all I asks is to be set safely back in the 'big house to finish out me time in comfort. O. K. Now, show me the way to 'Lonesomej and if any good comes of your information tonight. I can promise that you Won't lose by it. They set ofli across the marshland, and the black mare, now as docile as qypet, walked behind them. For some time they con- tinued over thc 'rolling, wind-swept marshland, and then the moon, breaking through the racked clouds, revealed to them the tall, gray walls of t'Lonesome. That's the place, whispered the convict. Did you ever see anything like it? Looks as if the guy that owns it killed someone and is locking himself up i11 his own jail for it 977 77 177 Q 14 THE ARTIS-AN They approached the great. iron-studded gates which bore the name of the place, and it was with some surprise that they found them slightly ajar. That's luck! whispered Blinky. Unless those Brownies have got here ahead of us! he added as an afterthought. They pushed open the gates and found themselves looking upon a stretch of grassland, surrounded by four tall Walls. It was as bare and open as a football field, and the sight brought a choking gasp of amazement to the throat of Blinky Jones. Lookit! he choked. The house ain't here. It's gone-it's vanished ! Trooper Ted VVeston turned suspiciously on his companion. You've been trying to fool me, he snapped. I ainlt-l swear I ain't! retorted Blinky hotly. There's the name on the gate, and just behind me is the tree I climbed up. lf you'll go up the tree you'll find a bit of my pants what was caught on a broken branch. The house was here then, I swear it was!', he went on vehemently. t'How it's vanished I don't knowg but it has gone, and that's a fact P' But houses can't vanish, insisted Ted. Ulf this one had been here when you looked over the wall, it would be here now ! No, it wouldn't. ,cause it ainitj' protested Blinky. I'm afraid that your yarn about stone houses and Hindu and Burmese won't go, Jones, said Ted. Still, while we're here, we may as well take a look aroundii 'flu what part of the grounds do you think that you BHW the house, Jones? asked Ted suddenly. Right bang in the center I declared Blinky emphatically. Ted Weston strode forward through the dim light, and Blinky went with him. Right in the center of the field Ted stopped. There's a large, square patch of turf in the center of this iield which is different from the other grass, he remarked. It looks as though it has been just freshly laid. I wonder-- He ceased speaking suddenly as his ears detected a sound. Instantly he dropped to the ground and pressed his ear to the grass. He could hear a strange, murinuring hum! And then like some enormous elevator, the ground beneath him rose so swiftly that by the time he had scrambled to his feet, he and Blinky were standing upon a large, grass-covered platform which was now some forty feet in the air. THE ART I SAN 15 'COW mv hat! was med Blinkv the house has risen out of 7 -1 25 L 7 the ground and now we're on the roof ! AT Tm: Srnoiiu or MIIJNIGHT LINKYS startled expression was the true one. The square house, with its fiat, grass-covered roof, l1ad been raised out of the ground by some ponderous and power- ' ful machinery concealed inside. Just as easily it could be lowered again until its roof was level with the rest of the ground. This is a mechanical marvclll' exclaimed Ted ungrudgingly. The whole house is made of steel plates painted to resemble stone, and the power which moves it must be tremendous. But what for? asked Blinky. Who wants a house that goes up and down like the mercury in a thermometer? That,s what I should like to find out, said Ted, Who was peering out over the edge of the roof. Jones, there's a Window just below here, and it should be easy to enter it. Pm going to try re Ted led the way, and he had no difficulty in lowering him- self over the edge of the roof onto the sill. This done, he broke the window, released the lock and opened the steel-framed sash. He crawled inside and leaning from the open window, helped Iilinky to enter. We'll go downstairs and try to find the owner of this place, said Ted. -Ulf his name is Lane, we'll be able to warn him that those Eastern men are out to kill him-if they haven't already done so. Together the pair proceeded to cross the room, and as they came within a few feet of the door, several snaky coils of wire, heavily charged with electricity, fell upon them! For the next few hours, Trooper Ted Weston and Convict No. 1167 were un- conscious. When Weston came to his senses, he observed that he was in a chamber which looked like an ele.ctric control room, and standing near him were a girl and a gray-haired, elderly man. Uncle, hets awake,', said the girl. Trooper, accept my apologies, said the elderly man com- lii THE ARTISAN ing towards him. My electric alarms Zllld traps are set to catch thieves and murderers, and not to catch policemen. You and your convict friend have receive.d a large voltage, for you have been unconscous more than sixteen hourslw Sixteen hours! gasped Ted, rising to his feet and catching a glimpse of Blinky, who lay upon a nearby couch. I must re- port to my station at once. Ii He paused as he reniembered all the circumstances which led to his arrival at this vanishing house on the marsh. Is your name Lane? he. blurted out suddenly. John Lane, acknowledged the man. This is my adopted niece, Helen Campbell. Then I have to warn you that five men, believed to be Hindus or Burmese, have planned to visit you and-er-do you some serious injuryfi Lane nodded his head and the girl trembled. 'Sl know that, Trooper, and that is why I am living here in this strange house,', he said. lt is my protection from those who have threatened to kill me. I designed the house and had it constructed under 1ny orders. So that it can disappear into tl1e ground when danger threatens? suggested Ted. So it may disappear every night between midnight and dawn, was the answer. And at no other time? t'There is no need,'t said Lane. Listen, Trooper! You have been good enough to interest yourself in my behalf, and l think that you are entitled to hear the whole of a very strange story. S-hall I go on? Please do, answered Ted eagerly. 'tFifteen years ago. out in the wildest part of Burmah, this young lady, who is the daughter of my oldest and best friend, was kidnapped by a small party of fanaticsj' began Lane. It was their intention to cast her into some sacred pool as a sacri- lice to their heathen god. Helen Campbell shivered, and he.r.face grew pale as Lane's words reminded her of the frightening past. My friend and I went in search of her, and we wrested her away from these fanatics, went on Lane, modestly omitting the details of what had obviously been a perilous expedition. Un- THE ARTISAN 17 happily, her father was killed by the fanatics, and since then 1 have counted it my proud duty to care for l1er. It has not been an easy task, for since that time both she and L l1ave been men- aced by tl1e vengeance of the band. There are five of them left, and they have pulsued us mercilessly through the years, de- clared Lane. Sometimes we have managed to avoid them for long periodsg but sooner or later they get onto our trail, and we have been compelled to find a new hiding place. We have been' nearly twice around the world in our attempts to elude tl1e1n. And then at last I invented this house, and now I believe we are safe? But how ? demanded Ted. Surely at any time these men might strike? No, Their strange beliefs compel them to strike at an enemy only between midnight and dawn, was the answer. At no other time may they act, and that is why this house vanishes at midnight and reappears only with tl1e dawn. During the time it is underground tl1e necessary air is provided by a special device- Uncle! cried Helen, in a sudden alarm as she looked at the electric clock on the shelf. It is after midnight! John Lane paled and leaped across the room to where a powerful dynamo stood. He pressed the switch, and the dynamo hummed and sputtered into instant life. Then, moving to 21 short, steel lever, he tugged on it. Nothing happened. The sci- entist tried it again and again, until tl1e perspiration streamed down his lined face, and still nothing happened. Great heavens ! he gasped. 'tlt has jammed! The house YV0l1,t descend! C R A S H ! ! ! His words were mocked by a terrific explosion which de- molished part of the door and walls. Helen drew back against a wall of the room with a cry of terror, and Lane clutched at his throat. Ted remained motionless, tense as a watching lion. There came a soft padding of footsteps, the door of the room burst open, and five brown-skinned Hindus entered. The pres- e11ce of Ted in the room came as a surprise to them, but only for a moment. A man who was evidently the leader stepped in front of his companions and held aloft a repulsive, curved ma- cbete. The leader eyed John Lane and Helen with eyes that It 18 THE ARTISAN burned with hate. The men advanced tllld the scientist and the girl retreated in terror of the fate that seen1e.d to be near at hand. ' Ted suddenly pieked up a chair and hurled it at the leader. The man was swept off his feet, and as his colleagues attempted to grasp him, they stumbled against the dynamo. There fol- lowed instantly a great, blue flame, and John Lane rushed to switch off the power. But he was too late to save the intruders. Doom, swift and sudden, had overtaken them, and their trail of vengeance was at an end! John Lane turned away trembling and drew his hand over his forehead. This house need never again vanish, Trooper, he said weakly. Our fears are ended, and I thank you from my heart for freeing my Helen from the terrors which have haunted her for so long W And I'm sorry I didn't wake up a bit earlier, came the weak voice of Blinky Jones. There's nothing left for me to do but to let myself be taken back to prison. Trooper, I'1l go quietly Z Righto, Blinkyf' smiled Ted. l'll take you, but I d0n't suppose. you'll be bark for long. I'l1 do my best to put in a good word for you. and when you come out, come to me and I'11 see if T can't help you make a fresh start l There's no need for that,', said John Lane. HI need a reliable man, and you can have the job, Jones, just as Soon as you have finished your-er-present term of service with the 2QOVt'l'lllll0llf l . - . . . . . . . When Iilinky Jones left prison a, few months late1', he was not at all surprised to lind that Helen Campbell and Sergeant Ted Nvt'Hl'0ll had become real close friends! THE END Applicant: Pm here to see about the job you advertised. Boss: I see. Do you think you can do the work ? Applicant: Work? 1 thought you wanted a foreman. THE ARTISAN 19 DEPARTMENTS SEQWWWWWWWWWW ENGLISH DEPARTMENT A boy who is eager to improve his English may well begin with a daily drill in sentence building. He should welcome every opportunity to write, to give talks, to take part in recita- tions, and to have a share in conversations with care.ful speakers. He will try to choose his words so skillfully that what he says will he accurate and convincing. He can attord to give as much attention to the preparation of a three-minute talk to his class- mates as the President of the United States would give to a radio talk to millions. By reading his compositions aloud and by revising them tirelessly he will go far toward making them say exactly what he wishes them to say. He will not hesitate to rewrite a letter two or three times if the rewriting will make the letter clearer or more forcible. A high school boy should consider no day complete without a few minutes in the company of an excellent book. Every stu- dent worthy of the name is willing to use the dictionary, en- cyclopedia, and other works of reference in order to understand an author wl1o has said something worth while. Every all-round hoy craves also less difficult reading, which gives him pleasure and at the same time satisfaction. One of the aims of the English teacher is to assist boys in discovering and judging books so that they may always have at hand an abundance of enjoyable reading. After all, as the years roll along, nothing will ever take the place of a real book-one in which a competent author gives his best. We all need some recreation every day, and a companion of this sort is invaluable in refreshing a hard- working man and in filling hours of leisure. CHAnLns L. TIANSON. 20 THE ARTISAN SCIENCE DEPARTMENT When you thought of coming to Mechanic Arts High School and you had read the statement of its aims, you probably noticed that the school did not promise to teach you a trade, but rather to give you the general high school subjects, with much science, shop-work, and drawing in addition. That general aim is shared by those of us who teach in the Science Department. We do not expect to make expert engineers and chemists of you, or, going to the other extreme, to entertain you with merely the more spectacular applications of the sub- ject. VVe hope to teach you the basic principles, to interest you in the application of those principles in modern life and, above all, to train you to think clearly. In connnon with all ninth grades in the city, our first year work, General Science, really completes the science work of the Junior High School. Portions of several sciences are studied in the process of helping you to understand the world in which you live, to realize the importance of science in daily life, to keep your bodily health and efficiency, and to learn something of the real meaning of science. Having taken this broad general view, you are now ready to study a special science. Physics is the one chosen, to be followed later by Chemistry, for we believe that these funda- mental sciences can be well taught with our equipment and are the ones necessary for any future progress in other sciences or in engineering. It is possible for us to devote two years to the study of Physics. The course in Photography is concerned with Light and its applications in the taking and finishing of pictures. In the automobile course, Mechanics is tl1e branch of Physics most often referred to for explanations of the operation of the car, though Heat and Electricity also play an important part. When you come to the third year, we expect you to com- plete the work in Mechanics and to take more work in Heat, Sound, and Electricity. ln the future we hope to finish the work in Physics earlier in the year and to begin a study of Chemistry in the third year. It may also be possible to strengthen our work in Electricity so that during the fourth year, boys who wish to do so may make more rapid progress in direct current THE AQRTISAN 21 and be qualified for work with alternating currents. Our new electrical laboratory makes possible much advanced experimental work which we have not been able to do in the past. In the fourth year lflngineering, we try to give you in Elec- tricity, Strength of lilaterials, and Steam, a slight acquaintance with the subject matter of these branches of knowledge. For those of you who continue your education in technical schools, this serves as a helpful introduction to advanced work. Uur new Chemical Laboratory otfers ideal working condi- tions for our present courses in college preparatory chemistry and general chemistry. In the future we hope to have a second laboratory for industrial chemistry. The more of the funda- mentals of physics and chemistry we can teach in the second and third years, the more time we shall have for special work in the fourth year. All the foregoing assumes that you will stay with us for four years. VVhat are we doing for tl1e boy who leaves school during the course? Even in this case we think we have done our best for him in giving him scienttie habits of thinking and living. To quote a recent publication: The industries and arts are not particularly anxious to employ great numbers of ready- made experts. They prefer to take people who have learned to think clearly along basic principles and to give them the limited technical training needed while they are on the pro- bationary period of their employment. Jnins W. DYSON. -.., . 1. , MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The foreign languages that are taught in this school are French and German. The courses are organized largely with the objective in view of preparing young men to pass the exam- inations of the College Entrance Examination Board. Some time is also given to oral work in foreign languages. French may be taken three times a weekh during the second, third. and fourth years, by the pupils of Course B. The members of Course H may take German four times a week in the third year, and five times a week during the fourth year. ARTHVR R. Rfxclxn. 22 THE ARTISAN WOODWORKING DEPARTMENT The IVoodworking Department may be said to have three branches: iirst-year bench work, second-year pattern making, and fourth-year cabinet making. The increase in the enrollment of the entering class last September makes it seem likely that the first-year work will continue to be the largest branch for some time to come. The first-year course has been somewhat modified in recent years to include fewer exercises and more problems of special interest to the boys. Staining, shellacking and rubbing down of some of the objects has served to increase this interest. This year tl1e test tube racks for the ne.w chemical laboratory and the ring toss stands for the department of physical education were good educational problems as well as contributions to the school system. In the second-year course we have a larger number of boys than formerly from the ninth grade of intermediate schools throughout the city. These. boys are given a special course of bench work and tool sharpening before they are put on lathe work. The pattern making course serves most admirably in developing high standards of workmanship and in giving an understanding of fundamental processes of manufacture where castings are used. Many boys have in the past entered the pat- tern making trade as the result of the interest aroused by this course. The fourth-year work is becoming increasingly popular as an elective. The accommodations are insufficient to care for more than half of the boys who apply. In future years it is hoped that conditions will offer an opportunity to extend this advanced work. At present there are two regular fourth-year divisions under Mr. Emery, and one special division under Mr. Hackett. Each of these instructors has developed work of in- terest and educational value. The aim of the fourth-year course is threefold: first, to review some of the iirst-year principles in advanced bench work problemsg second, to apply quantity pro- duction methods to the making of many articles of the same kind, such as science. tables, drawing trays, or electrical ap- paratus mountsg third, to have each boy design and make an individual piece of furniture. In the furniture construction, THE ARTISAN 23 machines are used to speed up the process. The taste for furni- ture design a11d construction developed by this part of the course, has led a number of boys into furniture manufacturing as workmen in the shops or as designers. VVhether or not such employment materializes, the course has value as an aid in the appreciation of and proper selection of furniture for the home. The outstanding aim of the woodworking courses in general is habit-formation. Thoughtful, painstaking, and methodical procedure on tl1e problems presented develop in the earnest student certain powe.rs not to be gained through book study alone. lVhi1e the values i11 the main are of a general educational character, special interests are often discovered which lead boys into vocations for which the work serves as a partial training. GEORGE M. MORRIS. DRAFTING DEPARTMENT Drafting is a broad term that includes all of the graphic arts-architecture, sculpture, painting, landscape gardening, en- gineering, advertising, etc. It is a graphic language whose pur- pose is to record and communicate accurately, ideas that cannot otherwise be adequately expressed. Careful study of this lan- guage develops ideals of utility and beauty. Thus the practical things of life may he made beautiful as well as useful. Drafting lies at the foundation of most of the arts and trades. lt includes accuracy of thought and execution, and establishes habits of neatness and order. lt is pre-eminent in developing the constructive imagination, the ability to think in three dimensions, and to visualize clearly and accurately. The main purpose of our course in Drafting is to train the student in the greatest of all languages-the Graphic language, planning the work so that principles and 'problems are taken up in a logically determined order. The department otfers courses in General Drawing, Architec- tural Drawing, Industrial Design, and Machine Design. The four- year course in General Drawing is required of all boys in Course A 1Shop Coursel, except those who may elect any one of the other courses for the fourth year. In Course B tf College Goursej, a boy is required to take only three years of drawing. There is a wide range of subject matter in all these courses, so that a student who has acquired an understanding of the prin- 24 'I' IIE ARTISAN ciples ami developed skill in workmanship, has a good foundation for success in many lilies of industry. R.XI.I'II H. KNiXI'l'. 1 HISTORY DEPARTMENT I. In the Hrst year three periods a week are spent in civics. Emphasis is given to the relations of citizens to other citizens, and to the community of all citizens organized as city, state., and nation. Later we study these three forms of government, the officers, and their powers and duties as defined by our con- stitutions and laws: also by the way in which these laws are made. Two months are devoted to a study ot' the principle vocations. Il. Industrial history of the lfnited States three times a week is required. We were one of the very first high schools to give this course. Emphasis is given to the industrial develop- ment of the nation, rather than to wars or politics. Inventories, conditions, and oiganization of labor, the growth of corpora- tions, the development of agriculture a11d transportation are. important subjects considered. III. In course A, the industrial history of Europe is re- quired threet times a week. The fact that this is the only course in European history makes it necessary to give more time to what may be called general history than in the second year. Still, the industrial side, usually slighted, is emphasized and special attention is given to the life and progress of the. work- ing people, labor organization, methods of cultivation of the land, and of carrying on other industries, methods of transporta- tion, effects of the factory system, and similar topics. IV. ln course Ii, the political history of the United States is required three times a week, with the object of preparing t'or the entrance examinations for M. I. T. and other colleges. Tho e marked A or ll for the year are admitted on certificate. In course A, boys may elect Economics for two period a week. Business organization, the relation of capital and la.bor, personnel, wage systems, cost accounting, banking and invest- ment, are studied in an elementary way. In addition, special attetion is given to study of the different vocations, with the purpose of helping boys to choose those for which they are best adapted. CHARLES L. REED.

Members of the f'lass of 1031: A few more weeks and the Class of 1031 will have passed from the school they have called home for the last three or four years. The ties made during these years are of more value than some lIllfl9l'g'I'2ld1l2lt0S realize. Many boys have been drawn into evening classes and healthful recreational pursuits by classmates who were a little quicker to see the value of a healthy body and a trained mind. The business depression which started a year and a half ago is still with us. Positions are hard to find. If you have a prospect of a job, do all in your power to secure it. Sitting at home complaining will not help. Most Mechanic Arts students have definite abilities that are marketable, but it is up to you to find the employer than can use you. I will do all I can to help you make contacts. I will be at the Central Office until July 10th, fl'0lIl 9 to 12 A. M. Dur- ing the school year I have evening office hours the first Friday of' each month, from 5 to 8 P. M. Please answer all communications promptly. Keep the de- partment informed of any change in your address. If you hear of any positions that our graduates might fill, write or telephone the information to the central office. This office is open every business day of the year. A coun- selor is always on duty and will be happy to help you try to solve your problems in educational and vocational guidance.

A tiny neon light, a quarter of an inch in diameter, claims the distinction of being the smallest lamp ever made to operate on the ordinary 110-volt household lighting system. Its big brother, one of the world's largest incandescent lamps, de- veloping approximately 100,000 candlepower, is used for motion picture studio lighting. SICAPLANE LIFTS FIFTY-FIVE TONS On its much-delayed way towards South America from Ger- many, the giant German seaplane, D0-X, recently set a new world's record for heavier-than-air machines. In a test flight it lifted a total load of 55 tons into the air. HEAT-RESISTING GLASS Glass designed to resist the extreme temperature oil a giant rotating aerial beacon has been perfected. The dome- haped cover of the light is so large that a person can stand head and shoulders inside of it. ln shape this cover resembles the old bell jars of the nineties. The moving parts of the air beacons will be kept clear from much dirt and grit by this glass dome- shaped cover. U i..i.... MOLTEN SPRAY KEEPS RAIL JOINTS TIGHT Faced with the heavy expense of tearing up pavements to tighten loose rail joints, electric railways are interested in a process which keeps the rail points tightened over an indefinite period. The theory that the rail joints were loosened by rust and mill scale at the rail ends and not by vibration, was responsible for the discovery of this process. This permanent tightening process involves the spraying of molten metal at the connections, compressed air being used to blow a fine mist of metal over the entire area to be assembled. Copper, brass, steel, chromium, nickel or any other metal may be used for the plating. SIGNx1'ROJl+1CTlCll ONTO BUILDING BY SEARCHLIGHT Transforniing the woi-ld's tallest skyscraper into an illumi- nated bill-board, a powerful S9ill't'llllgllt was employed recently to project words onto the side of the Empire State Building in New York.

TH E ARTTSAN 29 STILL l'ICTl'llES OF HIGH-SI'l'IEIl ENGINES NOXV TAKEN To study the behavior of machines while they are running at high speed by Hstopping' or slowing down the rapid motion so the eye can perceive it. an improved type of instrument known as a stoboscope has recently been developed. VVith this type of apparatus it is possible to take still or moving pictures show- ing the speeding parts of machinery in clear detail. Such pic- tures are made possible by using a thyratron tube of the mercury- arc type, the intense actinic light of which allows making photo- graphs at exposures of ten-millionths of a seco11d. NINE-FOOT LIGHT TESTER One of the instruments used at the General Electric Com- llIlllj',S laboratories at Schenectady. N. Y.. to measure the output of various lights is a double-leaf diaphragm, similar to the one 011 an ordinary camera, the iris shutter. It is employed to cover a photometer which is said to be capable of gauging the intensity of almost any size of a lamp, from the tail-light of an automobile to a searchlight of o11e billion candlepower. THE AUTOMATIC CHEMIST Now comes the Wautomatic chemist, a device that relieves the chemist of one ot' the most tedious parts of making an analy- sis. As recently demonstrated in New York City, the automatom measures either the acidity or alkalinity of a solution or the amount of certain ingredients in it. When the measurement is completed a bell rings and lights a light. This fundamental operation known to chemists as Ntitrationv is important in every application of cl1e.mistry, from making shoe leather to the testing of a city's water supply. A careful titration may take half an hour of a cl1e1nist's time, but theauto- matic chemist requires no attention after the start. A beam of light from a lantern shines through the beaker containing the solution, falling upon a sensitive electric cell opposite. When the. solution turns white or neutral at the addition of one drop of the acid or alkali, the electric eye turns off the supply and rings the bell. The amount' of acid or alkali required to neutra- lize the solution can then be read from the graduated tube. The automatic cl1e111ist has bee11 found to be very accurate.

These machines, known as microtomes, are used in biological laboratories for cutting fragments of specimens for microscopic examination. Some ot' these. are automatic devices which will prepare from one specimen a series of sections for comparison. WURLIVS HIGHEST SUSPENSION BRIDGE High above the waters of the Arkansas River, across the Royal Gorge, that in places attains a depth of 2,600 feet, cables are being slung for a suspension bridge. This bridge, it is said, will be the highest in the world when completed, Ellld is situated near Canon City, Colo. Huge openwork steel towers sunk into solid concrete masonry on either side of the gorge support the work. The main span of the. bridge will be S80 feet long, while the entire bridge including tl1e approaches will have a total length of 1,200 feet. MOTORS' PLACED IN GREATEST AIRSHIP High amid what appears to be a mass of tangled stee.l girders, mechanics are now installing motors that will drive the Akron, huge Navy airship and largest in the world, now nearing completion at the tloodyear-Zeppeli11 dock at Akron, 0. They will break all precedent in airship construction by being placed inside the hull. Earlier airships had their motors on the outside because the ships were lifted by hydrogen gas. An exhaust fiame or electric spark might ignite the highly intiammable. gas. When non- intlammable helium intiates dirigibles, no such precautions are necessary. The engines will drive propellers that can be pointed in any direction to propel the ship up, down, forward or back- ward. p l-..--E. GIANT ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR NORTH POLE SUB When the. Nautilus, Sir Hubert Wilkins' submarine, plunges under the Arctic ice cap on its voyage to the Pole this summer, it will not be entirely blind. Two huge electric headlights of 1,000,000 candlepower each will cast beams of light nearly 100 feet ahead of the vessel. The lamps were tested to a pressure of 100 pounds to the square inch. .Y ,I 3.1 M ,I ,M v1'.A.,d -av., L,.A 'v X'M THE ARTISAN 31 ROBOT ANSWERS TELEPHONE AND TAKES MESSAGE One of these days a telephone caller, having rung a friend may get this answer: Mr, Blank is not at home.

FIGHT FIRE BY FREEZING IT WITH f'FUZZ GAS The kind of gas that puts the fizz into your soda Water, carbon dioxide, is being' used by the Los Axieles, Calif., fire de- partment to freeze fires. It is carried under high pres ure in cylinders. When released it shoots out in a cloud of below-zero snowflakes that reduce the temperature and absorb much of the oxygen. from the air, thus tending to smother the flames. A special truck has been designed for the department to carry the battery of cylinders that form this latest unit in the battle of science to reduce the huge annual loss by fire. Some time ago a test of carbon dioxide gas as a flame extinguisher was made in Germany. Since then other tests have been conducted in several parts of the United States. Tl1e addition of the gas unit to the california fire-fighting equip- ment tis expe.cted to prove valuable in combating chemical, paint, and oil fires, where streams of water are of little use. AIRSHIPS T0 USE GASES? Tl1e new blimp of the United States Navy, K-1, the largest non-rigid dirigible ever built in America, is to be used as a flying laboratory for testing various gases as motor fuels. The engines of this blimp will drive it iifty-two miles an hour, and it will have a cruising range of 2,000 miles. The new airship will carry a container to hold experimental gases which will replace gasoline as a fuel. A mixture of hydro- gen and ethane will be one of the first gases to be tested.
