A few feet down the corridor is the iron stock room, where the extra iron is kept for both the machine shop and the forge room. The forge room is at the back and right of the building. The work is all done with tools. There is a large automatic fan for the forges and also for carrying away the smoke. There are twenty forges and twenty anvils, also an individual tool stand for each boy. The boys learn to hammer and shape the iron while it is hot. They have preliminary exercises at first, but later, useful articles, such as sled runners, are made. The foundry is on the left, and is equipped to accommodate twenty pupils with individual molding troughs, and the other necessary machines. After making a pattern in the Mechanical Draw- ing class, the boys are taught to make sand molds, pour in the hot iron, and thus develop their pattern. In the wood turning room there are double benches, each supplied with a lathe. There is room for twenty boys, each doing individual work. There is also a band saw and pattern maker’s lathe. At the benches are three sets of tools, one to be used in common, and one to be cared for by each boy. He must keep them in order, and keep them sharp. Here, as in all of the other shops, is a motor, used exclusively for the machinery of that shop. Adjoining this is the carving room. The boys work at individual benches, and learn the handling of tools. They also learn joinery work, as for door, and relief work. Some of the specimens of the work done in wood were little trays, Indian clubs of differ- ent woods, dumbbells, cabinets, wooden saucers, napkin rings, etc. In the seventh and eighth grade carpenter shop, the boys have mostly bench work. They learn the use and handling of simple tools. Little racks and other useful articles of a similar nature are made by them. There is a wood stock room for the rough and extra lumber. Here there are two machines, a planer and a saw, so that wood can be made into whatever shape desired. Both Mechanical and Freehand drawing rooms are com plete. In the freehand, the aim is to train the eye, and teach the appreciation of beauty. In the mechanical drawing the aim is practical, and the pupil must be so exact. 15
