At school board meeting held last
summer 1t was decided that a full
course in forgery should be added to
the high school manual arts course.
The building, to be constructed at
cnce, will be located on the high
school grounds just east Of the pres
ent building. 1t will be SS by "a feet,
having a concrete floor. The equip
ment will consist of II forges, with
all the necessary tools, motor driven
exhauster and an emery grinder.
There are two classes already en-
rolled for the work, one of II and
one Of 27. The work on the building
will all be done by the boys, working
only during their class periods in the
course, except on Saturdays when the
boys will work regular hours, being
paid by the school board. The boys
win do all the carpenter work, con-
crete work, installation Of machinery
and minor fixings. Prof r. E.
Chloupek. the able instructor in this
work, estimates that the school board
will be saved a total of $3.50.
When the work starts in forging
the boys will be divided into gangs
of from four to six each. Each gang
has a foreman. who is TO have charge
Of his gang, and is to look after his
set of tools and oversee the work OF
the boys under him. The gangs will
change about on different kinds OF
work and also the foreman, thus CIV
ing all the boys a chance to learn
how to handle men and boss an out
fit.
Along with the course will be CIV
en- lectures on roof framing, concrete
proportions and mixing, and the
manufacture Of cement.
When the boys have finished the
building they will put in a concrete
retaining wall and floor just back OF
the building to improve the general
looks of the school grounds
Next year this same class of boys
intend to put in a concrete sidewall
along the east side of the grounds on
Thompson street.
