Industrial Work Can Be Installed.

Industrial Work Can Be Installed.
We believe that the observa-
ton of actual conditions existing
in different localities, the ways
of meeting them, and the view
points and workers themselves
gives a much broader view than
theoretical work alone could and
it clinches, as it were, the class
room work, thus making it more
effective.
Recently the senior domestic
class visited the Pilot Point
school. The industrial work, in
Guiding manual training, cook
ing and sewing, was introduced
in 1910. The cooking and sew
ing departments are located in a
little three room cottage of the
ordinary rent type which is near
the main building. After com
ing into the use of the school it
was reprinted, papered and the
petition between the two front
rooms removed to accommodate
the cooking department. In
this room are placed the tables
made by a local carpenter, which
accommodate a class of twelve
for cooking. In the other end
of this room is large steel
range; next this room, but open
ing on the veranda is the pan
try. The only cupbords in this
kitchen are three corner shelves
curtained with dotted Swiss,
where are stored in an orderly
way china, glassware and cut
lery. The pantry is necessary
adjunct to every well-equipped
kitchen, was made by enclosing
a portion of the back verandah.
1t has two windows, one in the
kitchen and the other opening on
the outside for ventilation.

shelves and appears very at
tractive with it's well-kept. sup

The sewing equipment, con
sisting of two cutting tables, two
machines besides others rented,
Occupies the back room. The
garments exhibited were well
made and attractive, showing the
good training given.
The kitchen equipment, not
including the range, cost only
$125.OO. Never have we seen
money or space used to better
advantage than in the selection
and arrangement Of this equip
ment.
A plat of ground formerly used
for dumping cans, etc, just back
Iof the domestic science and
manual training rooms has been
converted into school gardens.
They had just been planted, but
the straight rows, with here
and there CLINT Of green, pre-
scented very pleasing sight.
The manual training is equip
ped with fifteen benches, some
being single and others double,
which accommodate twenty boys.
The cost of the entire indus
trial equipment was given in
April Journal.
We were pleased with our visit
and impressed with the generous
spirit of the citizens of Pilot
Point and the resourcefullness
of Mr.. Weissner and his assis
tantS.
| Another visit was made to the
domestic science department in
the Denton High School by the
entire methods class in April.
| The cooking department here is
in a little threeroom cottage OPP
posite the high school, and pre-
sents pleasing appearance on
| the interior.
| The tables or desks are in the
| form Of hollow square and will
| accommodate sixteen pupils.
Each desk is supplied with al
cohol stoves, a drawer and cup
board with small utensils, cut
lery, etc, for individual work
and a pastry board. The refrig

is back of the dining room. The
