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 involved 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, examined by the instructor and graded as a part of
the regular work. All instruction in manual training will be given
with special reference to the psychological and pedagogical principles
necessary to develop teaching ability in those taking the work. A
course of reading will be outlined dealing with the history, development
and application 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. Recognized principles of good design will be
developed by sketches and drawings, and will be applied to all mechanical
projects.
Methods of milling, seasoning, and finishing of woods will be
studied as will also the tools, their uses and care.
Daily, from 10:30 to 11:30 and 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Magee.
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, forms, and decoration will
be given consideration in the problems attempted.
See Drawing 4, daily, from 4:30 to 5:30. Mechanical Laboratory.
Room 2.
3. Upper Grade Work.—This course is intended primarily for the
teachers of the fifth to the eighth grades. The problems will be
practical and especially adapted to these grades but may be used
elsewhere if it is deemed wise. The problems will be in wood and
light 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. Some previous training in mechanical or
free-hand drawing will be of value of those taking this course.
Daily, from 4:30 to 6:30. Professor Cole. Rouss Physical Laboratory,
Room 17.
4. Industrial Manual Training.—This course will include the following
problems: knots, overhand, square, figure eight, surgeons,
weaver's, bow, binder, alpine, bowline, scullers' handcuffs, slip, four-in-hand
and hitching; ties: ordinary package, express, bag, trunk, and
halter, splices; short, long eye, rope-end, and halter; hitchers; half,
timber, clove, and cats' paw; rope ends; crown, wall, spliced, and
strength and purity, of sand and cement, reinforced concrete miniature
models of fence posts, watering troughs, steps, culverts, etc.;
leather; cutting, shaping, skiving, braiding lashes, splicing, belt lacing,
making trunk tags, watch guards, purses, card cases, bill books,
shopping bags, etc.
Daily, from 8:30 to 10:30. Professor Cole and Miss Graham. 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 modeling. 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 Anderson. 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 Anderson.
Rouss Physical Laboratory, Room 17.
Note.—An additional fee of one dollar will be charged for materials
used.
