Manual Train Course offered
There Is Interesting the
Fair Crowds

To set before the people of this
section Of the state the advantages of
an Industrial and normal training and
especially the value of a thorough
manual training education is the OBJ
1ect of the splendid exhibit shown
by the Ellendale state normal and
industrial training school In q large
booth In the liberal arts building A.
=. Dunphy, director of mechanic arts
and manual training, is in charge of
the exhibit and is ready to supply all
visitors with any information they de-
sire in regard to the various excellent
courses which the school offers. He
Is very proud Of his display which
Is mainly from the manual training
department and hopes that some of the
expert mechanics and students of
manual training will visit his booth
and pass their criticism on the work
his boys have done during the past
year.
Mr.. Dunphy has arranged his display
to show the work as taken up from
the fifth and sixth grade and on
through four years course. 1t first
shows the wood work and beginning
Of mechanical drawing, then the wood
carving, joinery and splicing as the
work of the first year high school and
blacksmithing for second year high
school. Samples Of welding, pattern
shown and are of a degree of excel
much older than high school students.
Mr.. Dunphy says that the boys are
given two days of mechanical drawing
nd NJ oh II Ix,~ ~ivarp &IA
week and the progress Of mechanical
drawing is intensely interesting. The
boys must work out their own ideas
and are allowed to. copy nothing orig
inal by anyone else. In the class for
drawing house plans there is much
amusement for the students in the
preliminary work. They are given
lectures on modern methods, sanitary
and ventilating laws and with this
foundation are able to develop their
own talent. After working out their
general plan they draw the basement,
first and second floor and roof plans,
a cross section and exterior plan.
The same method is followed in
their blacksmithing and the boys must
be able to draw every instrument, tool
valve or piece of machinery which
they come in contact with. Seldom if
ever does boy fall behind his class
and when they complete their four
years course they are placed at SAL
aries ranging from SIS month to
$1,4OO and s1,500 year. The demand
for them is largely in the west.
This is the first time that the Ellen
dale school has shown an exhibit in
this city and it is receiving more at
tention than many of the other schools.
As it's main field, established when the
school was opened by the state, is
manual training the display carries
out that idea though the distance pre-
vents the showing of any of their big
cabinet work or large blacksmith jobs.
However the school offers an excel
lent academic course, a special two
year fine arts course, normal arts
course for teaching. high school and
college courses. The faculty numbers
eighteen and last year 300 pupils were
enrolled. Next year the school will
have a new foundry which will make
it. possible to increase the iron work
and several other improvements are
being added continually.
The schools domestic science course
is one of the best in the northwest,
it being the first offered in the state.
Their teachers are excellent and the
girls who graduate are in the best
