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.
