The workers in the machine shop and in machine design seemed to be more interested in their work from the standpoint of experience. Over 283000.00 was paid to the instructors and pupils in the form of wages. The morale and discipline was very good. The boys were prompt in reporting to work and responded well to direction. At the close of the session a majority of the workers expressed them- selves as being well satisfied with the returns of the work and wondered if the school would continue another summer. During the second semester the construction of 125 manual benches and 125 woodworking vises was attempted and at this time it looks as if a great many of them will be finished for our annual exhibition and that the attempt will be very successful. This work is being done entirely by Junior High boys. A number of boys were very desirous to learn about pattern making and have therefore been working afternoons with Mr. Vogler. They have made some very fine patterns which have enabled us to build the machines that have been designed in the drafting room. Boys from the forging and the machine shop classes have been given some Work in the hardening and tempering of tools. This work is usually done in the heat treating room where we have all the necessary apparatus for this kind of work, together with a testing machine and a photographic outfit. Some of the boys have become quite expert in the hardening and tempering of cutters, reamers, etc. During the talk Toledo week in March, XVoodward had a fine exhibition of Manual XVork in Neuhausels window. This exhibit was of a general nature and something representative of each manual activity was included in the exhibition. At the same time a display of machine shop work was placed in the Window of the Security Savings Bank on Superior street. Afterwards this machine shop display was moved to the Cherry Branch of the Security Bank on Cherry street near Canton. During the first part of May a fine exhibition of machine drawing was sent to Cincinnati to be exhibited before the conven- tion of the Vtlestern Arts Association. In the commercial departments there are many subjects that are very practical. As most of these classes have been offered in our high schools for a number of years they are more or less familiar to most pupils. These courses are designed to prepare pupils to enter commercial firms as stenographers, bookkeepers, salesmen, etc. XVoodward has two typewriting and two book- keeping rooms. Most of the classes in this department are crowded. The only classes that are new in this department are those in retail selling. This year two classes were offered, one for boys and one for girls. A great many of the members of the salesmanship classes work after school and Saturdays and apply what they have learned during the day. YVhenever a demand is apparent and we are able to find a room and com- petent teacher, new courses are opened. Owing to the crowded condition of our building we are many times unable to offer work for which there is a great demand. XVe hope that the Board of Education will soon build the contem- plated addition to our school so that we can take care of the ever increasing demand for work of a practical nature. -J. M. Sterling. 95

be able to place tl1ese boys witl1 local employers where they can complete the learning of their trade. The second of the new courses opened in September. 1921, was the electrical course. There seemed to be a demand for a course i11 practical electrical work. The Board of Education appropriated 951200.00 with which to buy equipment for this work illltl by June the room will be in fine shape. The equipment was slow in arriving Zillfl tl1e boys this year have bee11 handi- capped by not having all the necessary machines a11d iustrunients with which to work: This promises to be one of the most popular of our courses as well as a very practical one. 1Ye hope to offer a trade course in electrical work sometime in tl1e near future. Tl1is course is new to Toledo schools. Another course that is new to 1Yoodward School is the course in plain sewing for girls. This is the first year we have been able to offer sewing to our girls, but we expect to have a dressmaking course for the advanced pupils next fall. Of the regular manual subjects the following are offered at 1Yoodward: Mechanical Drawing. Architectural Drawing. Joinery. Cabinet Making. Forg- ing. Pattern Making Zllld Machine Shop Practice. Beside these subjects. which lllilj' be taken at either Scott or 1Vaite. we have the following to be found only at Woodward: Sheet Metal, Printing. Electrical XYork. Hlld trade classes in Machine Drawing a11d Machine Shop Practice. It might. be well to pause for a moment a11d see just what is meant by a trade class. A trade class might be called H11 opportunity class. as they open up great opportunities for those boys who cannot go to college a11d who wish to learn a trade. For an example. let us take the trade class in the machine sl1op. This was our first trade class H1111 was started in November. 1921. The boys in this class have all signified their intention of becoming machinists and i11 order to get a start i11 their trade are taking this course. The class is run with State financial aid and is under tl1e supervision of the State Board of Yo- cational Education. The State requires that one half of the school day be spent in the shop, one fourth of the day oll related shop subjects. shop mathe- matics, shop science. drafting: a11d H119 fourth of the day one related academic subjects. English. lf S. History. and l'ivics. ln order to have the necessary time for this work these boys are in school from S a. 1n. until -1 p. 111. This course is two years i11 length and we hope YVll9l1 a pupil has satisfactorily com- pleted a trade course. to be able to place him with some Toledo firm where he can complete his apprenticeship and become a full fledged journeyman. In all this work. the drafting rooms and shops are run on Iltliil' a factory basis as it is possible to do in a school. A regular drafting room system has been installed in our drawing Ll9112l1'l1ll9111 Hlld all drawings are made, tiled. etc.. under the very best drafting room methods. Machines are designed in our drafting rooms, patterns 111ade i11 our pattern shop and finally built i11 our machine shop and erected in some one of our shops where they may be used by future XYoodward pupiis. During the 1921 Sllllllllcl' vacation an experiment was tried at 1Yoodward i11 the form of a vacation shop school. These classes were i11 session about seven weeks. The plan was to construct some equipment needed for the schools. 1Ye undertook the construction of T3 manual benches, 25 typewriter tables. 25 drawing benches, and 100 woodworking vises. The boys for these classes were selected fro111 the manual training departments of Scott. 1Yaite. and Woodward. The boys worked eight hours per day. five days per week. and were paid for their labor. This work was very successful as will be seen from the following extracts from Mr. Cotter's report to the Board of Education. Boys i11 cabinet shop were attracted largely by the pay rather than by the chance to gain experience in this line of work. 9-1
