chairs. In the study of harmonious lines, satisfying proportions, as well as in good construction, the pupil becomes better able to appreciate the true meaning of the artistic. The pupil is made to see that it is the simple rather than the elaborate, the plain rather than the gaudy, which is conducive to good design. In the third semester the student spends his shop periods in the wood turning room. In this, as in the bench work, he must make a study of the lathes, tools, and the different cuts used in the art of wood turning. The work in wood turning is based upon the theory that any object which may be turned in wood can be reproduced by the student when he understands the reason for handling a tool in a particular way for each cut. Because of this fact, a series of exercises are first made which involve all the different cuts used in wood turning. Following the preliminary exercises, mallets, and chisel handles are turned for use in the carpenter shop. Here again the student makes a study of design and proportion in the making of candle sticks, vases, picture frames, jewel boxes, and many other similar projects. During the fourth semester, the student is given access to both shops, making use of the lathes and saws in more advanced furniture design and con- struction. He makes a study of modern shop practices and adepts them to the machinery at his disposal. A special study is made of paneled furniture, the construction of paneled doors, and the assembly of large pieces of furniture, such as buffets, china cabinets and the like. Let us now take up for consideration the mechanical drawing work. As in the shop work, the first of the time must be spent in preliminary, in lettering, instrumental practice, and the theory of projection. The pupils are acquainted with the practices of the best drafting rooms. As far as is found practicable, drawings made in the drafting room are used by the pupils in the shops. In order that the pupil may not become narrowed by always dealing with con- struction in wood, many small drawings are made from formulas. Detail and assembly drawings are made of the machines used in the turning room. During the second year an entirely different class of drawing is taken up. The drawing during this year deals entirely with architectural work. First, the class makes a study of the different types of frame house construction, making drawings of the braced frame and balloon frame styles. Following this drawings are made of window, cornice, and interior details. In connection with the work in ancient history, a study is made of the different orders of architecture and a detail drawing made of some one of the orders. A study is made of room arrangements through the making of many sketches of house plans. One of these arrangements is perfected and drawings made to scale of the floor plans and elevations. When time permits, tracings and blue prints are made from the finished drawings. It is not the aim of the manual training department, in the limited time at its disposal, to turn out finished draftsmen or accomplished apprentices in woodwork, but rather to give the boy a chance to find himself. To find out whether or not he is fitted for the work of the industrial world. With more work of this kind, we will find fewer of the misfits so often found in the trades and occupations of the world. It acquaints the individual with the tools and materials used in industrial processes. It gives him a broader outlook upon industrial conditions, helping him to so organize his individual forces that he may have a mental, moral, and physical control of himself. In short, it does a large part in making of him a more useful, helpful, and efficient citizen.
