much has been said about the mode Of
instruction that it is useless to say
any more.
The work is up TO the standard Of
previous years aud is a credit to the
instructors AS well as the scholars A
stroll through the wood shop is interest
ing and instructive and many were sur
prised that the boys could do such good
work Here John S. Whitehead is
instructor.
There are many fine pieces OF work
but the following are some OF the best
Canoe paddles. made by Lewis Bradford
and Thomas B Young; set OF patterns

we're made by Harry Baynard, Edward
