AS the little yacht slowly steamed along

the members OF the committee were able
TO soc just what Is necessary TO complete
the project they have been working for.
Then the dangerous bends and curves
were seen, and Il was demonstrated how
carefully and slowly they had to be
rounded. First the boat would be IN the
wide waters and then it would be in a
channel so narrow that a person could
almost reach out and touch the branches
of tho trees ON the shore In many places
the dirt Il Is proposed 10 cxcavate could
be used to a good advantage to M up the
marshes bordering the canal. Where the
canal was cut through the hills IL was
plainly seen how In such place the cost
OF digging out the dirt and disposlng Of Il
would be a much more serious problem.
For fear OF washing tho canal bank the
yacht had to go very slowly through the
canal as are all vessels passing through
Il. IN the proposed canal the plan Is 20
drive piles all along the bank which would
keep Il from being washed and thus allow
vessels TO go through the canal at a
greater rate of speed. All these and many
more things were noticed and stored away

brought forth and used at the proper
time in the future.

DRAFTING

So far as we know, the Whining
ton Business School was the first
commercial school in the country to
organize Drafting Class. and the
results prove that our enterprise was
appreciated.
While looking for a man COM
petent to take charge of this work,
a man who was not only a practical
craftsman. but was qualified to inn
part his knowledge to others, our
attention was directed to Prof. A.
Edward Rhodes.
Prof. Rhodes is we'll known to
the people of Wilmington. He has
been teaching in the city High
School for a number of years, is an
experienced craftsman and the
author of several books on mechani-
cal drawing.
The instructions are entirely in
dividual work outlined to meet
Individual needs and the results,
most gratifying.
The Drafting Class meets on
Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
from October 4th to March 30th.
If you are interested we would be
pleased to have you call and inspect
the work done last winter.
The fee is only $3.50 a month.
