MANUAL TRAINING.
All the work of these courses will be of that practical nature
which will be adaptable to conditions as met in the average school.
The problems will be typical and the principles contained can be
applied under varying conditions as the needs of separate schools
may require. Special emphasis will be placed on economical equipments
and the use of available materials. Note book work will be
required in each course and will be considered as important as the
execution of projects. They will be examined by the instructor
and graded as a part of the regular work. In connection with the
class work which will deal with technique, materials, tools, etc., one
lecture will be given each week in each course on the history, development,
organization and applications, of manual and industrial
training.
1. Wood-Working for High Schools.—The work of this course
will deal with a class of useful projects adapted to the interest and
related as far as possible to the work of the high school student.
Problems applicable to principles of mathematics, physics and chemistry
as well as useful articles for the home and school will be considered.
Methods of construction of all work attempted will be
those used by the artisan. Sketches of projects will be made by
each student with the assistance of the instructor. Methods of milling,
the tools, their uses and care.
Daily, from 10:30 to 11:30 and 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Boshart.
Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 11.
2. Constructive Design.—This course will take up the study of
the principles of design as related to projects in industrial arts. The
study of space relations and proportions, materials, form, and structure
will be given consideration in the problems attempted.
Daily, from 2:30 to 3:30. Professor Boshart. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 11.
3. Upper Grade Work.—This course is intended primarily for the
teachers of the fifth to the eighth grades. The problems will be
especially adapted to these grades but may be used elsewhere if it
is deemed wise. The problems will be in light wood and metal. The
study of economical equipment and problems adapted to varying
conditions will form a great part of the work. Drawing both
freehand and mechanical as related to these projects will receive
some attention. However, it is hoped that the students of this course
will previously have had a course in drawing or will be taking it as
a parallel course.
Daily, from 4:30 to 6:30. Professor Cole. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 17.
4. Industrial Manual Training.—This course will take up the following
problems: knots-square, bow-knot, slip-knot, cat's-paw, half-hitch,
four-in-hand, hitching knots, sheepshanks, Turk's head; ties—
ordinary package, express; splices—long splice, short splice; weaving—cane
chair bottoms; concrete—simple tests for strength and
purity of sand and cement, reinforced cements, miniature models of
fence posts, watering troughs, steps, etc.; leather—cutting, skiving,
shaping, braiding lashes, making watch guards, purses, card cases,
and shopping bags.
Daily, from 8:30 to 10:30. Professor Cole. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 11.
5. Hand-Work for the Primary Grades.—The work of this course
will consist of freehand paper cutting, paper folding, cardboard construction
leading toward book-making, weaving, work in raphia, and
clay modelling. The work of the first four grades will be covered
in so far as practicable.
Section I, daily, from 8:30 to 10:30; Section II, daily from 10:30
to 11:30 and 12:15 to 1:15. Miss Richards. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 17.
6. Advanced Course for Elementary Grade Teachers.—This course
is intended for those teachers who have had some experience in the
study or teaching of hand work. As far as possible the problems
of this course will be suited to the needs of the individual teacher
or to the needs of a special community in which the teacher may
be working.
Daily, from 2:30 to 4:30. Professor Cole and Miss Richards.
Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 17.
Note.—An additional fee of one dollar will be charged for materials
used.
