Commissioner OF Labor Carroll II WRIGHT

was 100 small TO admit o. the introduction
or the system upon any extended scale
The establishment and due eauipment of a
successful school of woodwork in the High
School building was the utmost that could
be effected with the means at the COM
mand of the board of trustees An appro-
priation of 5000 for the purpose of indus
trial education for the following years rem
dered possible a considerable enlarg ement
OF the facilities Of manual training. Schools
of woodwork were established in several
localities for instruction of male pupils in
the seventh and eighth grades. while at the
High School building school of metal
WORKING, including iron and steel forging
molding and turning, was put in success
full operation. Superintendent Powell in his
annual report for the year 1SS6-S7 devoted
considerable space to the subject of manual
framing. strongly advocating its value.
AT the beginning of this school year a
trained teacher was secured, and q shop
htfed up with benches and wood working
tools, in which Dds boys of the High School
received instruction and practice one hour
each week The work was successful 1t
was not difficult to manage 1t with the
other regular courses of. study of the school,
The boys seemed to Ike the work and
showed no disposition to withdraw from the
class Although but one hours instruction
per week was given each pupil a mark ed
Improvement in the use of tools was MOTTO
ed, and 1t is known that many boys did
corresponding work at home for practical
and useful purposes, which was furthered
at least, II not induced, by the training and
suggestions received in the school shop.
The indications Of the interest in and profit
by the training Of hand and eye in con-
nection with other school duties it was be-
lfeved,augured the success OF manual train
Ing in the school more convincingly than
pages of philosophy and argument on the
subject.
In anticipation of the establishment of
more schools. five trained teachers gradu-
ates OF the Worcester Polytechnic Institute
were secured. Two members of the normal
training class of that year. having special

had much experience by home training I'm

the spring to enter a class for special train
ing in cookery, in anticipation of being en-
ployed as teachers of cooking the succeed
ing year.
The colored schools were not overlooked
so far as manual training was concerned
In the month of April, 1887, a school of
carpentry, in which to teach the use OF
tools, was organized in a small basement
room of the Miner building The enroll
ment in this school embraced all the bows
or the High School and boys selected from
the eighth, seventh and sixth grade schools.
The whole number enrolled was 144 The
boys were formed into classes of six each.
Each class received weekly one hour of in
struction. No unfavorabfe effect was per-
ceived upon the character of the usual
work of the school room.

The First Appropriation.
The school year ending June 80, 1887, was
a notable one in the history OF the public
schools of the District of Columbia as that
in which manual training was regularly
begun. The appropriation for the purpose
