W1NTHROP W MANUAL 1KAIMXJ WORK Manual Training Work is growing into a more ellicient and interesting department in all schools where it lias been introduced. Those who have not yet installed this department in their schools will regret it keenly when they realize its educational value. The NVinthrop Training (School rejoices thai slin is mm ?i' I ho first in the country to have organized this work. I'lans for this year vary somewhat in nature and method from those of previous years. The projects are to ln? selected, for the first two terms, mainly from a list of what might he called community problems. There ate two classes, first, school equipment; second, home equipment. The school needs jumping stands and vaulting stands for the gymnasium. AImo dictionary; stands for the class rooms. These, hoimr mm paratively simple problems, can be made by tin? boys in the higher Manual Training (hisses. Projects tor the homes will be selected from a list of articles such as can lie used by the family. Some of the boys have selected (lower stands, book-cases, seed corn lusters, and chicken coops. The third term will be given to making articles lilted to the individual needs of the boys. The classes this year are so arranged that but one grade works at a time. This makes them smaller, averaging about twelve, which al lows each boy more individual attention. Kach grade recites once week and works one hour and twenty minutes. This is a very short time but much can ho accomplished with good nianagune>:it and concent rat ion. The lirst ten or lift eon minutes of our recitation period is spent in the class loom making a working drawing of of the projects to be made next ; the idea being that the plan shall he drawn previous to the mak " < < 11> anieie. .Mistakes aro usually made as a result, of faulty or dim impressions cf the plan of (lie project. The working drawing prevent.-5 this in a large degree. For the first. term p noil drawings will lie made. Later they will he tilled in with ink. liesides having detinit > directions for making articles, each l.oy will figure out the hill of lumber his problem r quires, and the cost of it. From the recitation room the < lass goes to the hcach room ami makes a model of eacli at* the -different joints found in the project. This method destroys the ohj etion that the joints aie made without aim, and also prevents a hoy's trying to make any ;ii t ide which is too difficult for him. Next year (iihinet. work is to he developed more extensively in th% tenth grade, these hoys having had four years trai ine *rh<?. /*? wcrk will l.e r.r high character and s: me fine articles will he put out. Tho ideal cf the Training School is to foster tho spirit of co-operation through good p;il'ts and useful deeds. Altruism needs encouragement eveiywhere and the Winthrop Training EEKLY NEWS School is not the last to work toward that end. By making coininunity projects and doing tlieni lo the best of their ability, the boys will be co-operating with the Institution ol' which we are all proud. oi CO\(;IU:SS Last week the Tenth Grade had the study of the Constitution. To l'ully illustrate the machinations of Congress, a mock meeting of that body was held on Wednesday. Turner .Moore was appointed President of the 1'i.iited States, Peter Garison Speaker of the Mouse, and ltebekah 11 it*kIin President of the Senate. 1 lie kepresentatives were impersonated by Annie .Miller, Louise Carotbers.
