The BULLETIN reporter was detail
ed on 4 visit of inspection of the
school work in both its shop and
schoolroom phases. Anxious to as.
certain TO what extent manual excel
lence is carried and to judge of its
relation to an educational course,
the news CLEANER first visited the
blacksmith shop and found Mr..
Clarendon Davis in charge. The
young Nulcans are first taught the use
of the hammer on lead. This metal
in its cold state admits of all the
hammering processes except weld
ing. All sorts of things are fashion,
ed from it to determine the appren-
tees ability to reduce to given
form. After 4 knowledge of the
different heats is acquired the arti-
san talent is directed to the manu-
facture Of rings, figure SIS, eyes,
hooks, upset Ovals, fullering pieces,
angles, hammock hooks, braces,
rowlocks, tongs, welded chains,
straight Yields, angle YIELDS, welded
eyes, bolts, etc., etc. The nature
of steel is then taught and the vari-
Gus heats to which it should be sub
jected is expcrimentally acquired.
Steel tools made by the pupils were
shown to the reporter. Specimens
of work in wrought iron listed above
are hung in profusion on the walls.
Tcmpering and hardening also be-
come second natures to the young
hammer wielders. Mr.. Davis has
two classes in the forenoon in the
blacksmth's art, each dcvoting i!
hours to the hammer and tongs vari-
atiOns Of the anvil chorus. Nothing
beyond the list outlined is allowed
in this branch.
THE TURNING SHOP,
in charge of Mr.. Levi Lyman, is a
corrugated iron building. Three
foOt-power lathes are in use. On q
blackboard models were drawn in
half section showing the style of
patterns. Relying on these the
turner's place the sticks properly in
the lathe and reduce the square
block to n very faithful copy of the
profile on the board. The work un-
der the guidance of the instructor
progresses from simple models to
the turning of Indian clubs, croquet
mallets and croquet balls.
TIE CARPENTER SHOP
is under the control and superin-
tendence OF Mr.. u. Thompson. A
corrugated iron building is equipped
with four double benches. These
