INTRODUCTION 'rhere i:> a widespread and gro1ring demand, in this country, for manual training ancl indusfrial education. 'rhis demand is an effort to meet some of the fundamental educational needs of our SC'hool s~·,,tern and the social need for a larger number of intelli­gmt trnined workers for the indu!:'tries. It has resulted in the teaching of a variety of the manual or mechanic arts and in tlw :. In order to extend the lierwfit>: of instruction in rnamrnl train­ing to more schools, legislation to encourage arnl as>:i>:t Rrhools 1111<'!ertaking this work, has been enacted in many of the Statrs. 'J'he Texas Legislature has aided the public schools, by appro­priating money to supplement the fonds raised by local means. It ha,: also prnvirintenrlent and school boards to plan wisely. The fr1r \\'l'll organized and snccessfnl large manual training high schoo]f: al'l' taken as guides by many of the smaller schools introducing thl' 11ork. Copying in detail the systems, the equipment, and tlte (·omse of study of these large schools, does not avoid sl'rious mif:­takPs, siJl(·e careful adjustment to local con<'!itions and to the needs of the l'Ol1lllll11Jity must be made if this new part of the school work is to succ-eed. Some of the adjustrne11ts cannot he mad<• until after the work is pretty well organized and in operation, lrnt some phases of the problem must he soherl before the equipme11t is purchased, ane of thio lrnlletin to wpply such information concerning courses of study, equipment, space required, etc., as is needed by superintendents organizing departments of manual training; also to indicate the best lines along which to develop and improve the course of study and instruction. COURSES OF STUDY In the organization of the manual training department in the high !'lchool, much care should be exercised in planning or in select­ing a course of study. Upon the course adopted will largely de­pend the amount and the shape of :floor space, the number and. character of rooms, the kind of equipment, the special training of the teacher, and other important elements. It is doubtful if there could be outlined, at this time, courses which would satisfactorily meet the needs of all schools in the State. 'l'hese needs differ not only with different types and grades of schools, but with the particular locality and community. The following courses, it is belieYecl, will serve as safe guides to a large majority of the public high schools. The course in Group I is recommended for rural high schools, those in Group II for high schools in medium sized cities having no extensive manufacturing industries, and the course in Group III for schools in large cities and for schools in manufacturing centers. GROUP I. Two-Year Course. DRAWING. First Year.-Freehand projection sketches, from objects and from details of huildings and :furniture. Use of instruments. Lettering. Geometric constructions.

Choice of: Art metal and sheet metal work; or, Pattern ma.king, moulding and foundry practice. Fourth Year.-Machine shop \vork. TIME REQUIRED. The amount of time that should be given to each of the subjects suggested in the preceding outlines of courses cannot be deter­mined except by trial in each particular school. The previous training and experience of the pupils, the standard of work de­manded by the teacher, and the character of the material used, will largely determine the apportionment of the time available for the work. As considerable time at the beginning of the laboratory period must be used in preparing for the work, and as considerable time at the close of the period must be used in cleaning up and 8etting things in order, this extra time amounting in many cases to as much as fifteen minutes, each laboratory lesson should be given a double period, or about ninety minutes. Many of the most valuable problems require a number of hours for completion, and when this time is divided into short and scat­tered periods the pupil's interest is sure to lag, and much of the instruction given is forgotten before it can be applied. It is there­fore recommended that at least two periods of 90 minutes each be devoted to shopwork and an equal amount to drawing each week. The University i~ offering t or 1 unit of credit for manual train­ing (shopwork) and -! or 1 unit of credit for drawing. In order to obtain one unit of credit in either of these subjects, the amount of time devoted to the subject must be at least five periods of 80 minutes each per week for thirty-six weeks, or the equivalent of this time may be spread over two years of the high school. 'rable No. 2, immediately following, is given to show how a few of the well organized schools have apportioned the time devoted to shopwork and drawing. TABLE No. 2.

Experiments recently made in several high schools show that the traditional wood turning course, while logically and well planned as to subject-matter, violates some of the principles of good teaching. The two principles, that work should proceed from the simple to the complex, and should proceed from the easy to the more difficult, are the principles violated. The experiments show that much of the face-plate work is less difficult than any of the spindle work, and the processes involved are simpler. The fol­lowing course, therefore, places the simple face-plate wo·rk first. This arrangement has the added advantages of permitting some useful models to be made early in the course, and of not requiring the exercises that demand great. skill until after the pupil has become familiar with the principle of the turning lathe and with the tools to be used. (A) Simple Face-plate Turning. (1) Producing cylindrical and plane surfaces, V groovei::; use of center 8Crew. New Tools-Large skew chisel, round nose chisel, outside calipers. Problems-Exercise, coffee pot or flower pot stand, candlestick base. (2) Turning low forms having profiles with curved out­lines; use of face-plate screw8; polishing with boiled oil or with wax. New Tools-Inside calipers, templets. Problems-Exercises, desk trays. (B) Spindle Turning. ( 1) Turning plain cylinders-single and in combina­tions. New Tools-Plain gouge, turner's gouge, cut-off tool. Problems-Exercise, towel roller, beam for marking gauge. (2) ·Turning tapers and V grooves. Problems-Exercise, molder's gate pins, dibhle, mandrels. (3) Convex and bead cuts. Problems-Exercises. ( 4) Concave cuts. Problems-Exercises. ( 5) Concave and convex cuts with gouge, polishing. Problems-Exercises, chisel handles, candlesticks, Indian clubs, drawing forms, gavel heads. (C) Advanced Face-plate Work. ( 1) Use of cup chuck. New Tools--lnside calipers. Problems-Picture frame, towel ring, paper weight. (2) Boring, finishing on mandrel between centers or on pin chuck. Problems-Napkin rings, rope pulley. ( 3) Turning boxes and covers. Problems-Jewel box, collar box. SUGGESTIVE TREAT:\IENT OF PROBLEMS. An even grained soft or hard wood may be used for the exer­cise!';.. Some suitable hardwood or built up stock should be used for the other problems. All exercises suggested for spindle turn­ing should be required. PROBLEMS. DRAWING AND DESIGN.

New Tools-Blow torch, tongs. Problems-Sneet iron ferrule. Manual Training in the High Scho of molding. After these exercises are completed and after some knowledge of molding is gained, patterns for projects to be :fin­ished in the machine shop should be required. (A) Elementary Pattern Making. ( 1) Draft and shrinkage. Problems-Straight line simple ribbed pattern, slot­ted block. (2) Double shrinkage and :finish allowance. Problems-One-piece pattern for cone pulley, face plate. ( 3) Simple split pattern with core prints, core box. Problem-Flanged pipe fitting. ( 4) Pattern requiring three-part mold. Problem-Double flanged pulley. ( 5) Match board pattern.
