such as chipping, filing, scraping ana fitting performed with hand tools. The hand work (that we are trained to do in our shop) consists of chip ping and filing. Chipping )ften corr responds to roughing and filing to fi@ ishing. Chipping is used to prepare castings and forgings to be machined, l to snag castings, to fit castings to each other, to cut key ways in shafts, Dulleys and gears and oil grooves in bearing etc. The most skillful chip ping is done in making steel dyes and punches. V Snagging is the process in remov- . ing the sprunes, gates, fins and other projections from castings by chipping V and filing with old files
 The operation, that is being done 1 on this machine (which was made in our shop) is called drilling This machine, commonly called g 1 drill press, is an indispensable part 1 of a modern machine shop, and tsa 1 used for all ordinary drill operations. l On this type of machine the work to l be drilled remains stationary, while l the revolving drill is fed downward 1 through the hand. The work to be drilled is first iaT@fSS 1 out with pair of devices and center punch.

 House Decoration. " 1 (Edna Linnea Danielson)
 In the household arts course we take up the problems of house furnishing l of money in the home. The orderly placing of >t5imple furniture, good color, sunlight and fresh air are inS | spensable things.
 In our study of the problem after l the outline of a room is made, the color schemes which have been chosen with the help of good samples are ap- piled with water colors. Each pu- l pill assumes the lighting of a room, If the room is on the shady side of the 1 house, the warm bright colors may be used while the rooms which are to 1 the south and west and catch the sum- | light the soft colors are chosen. The living room which is shown is planned for the southwest corner and the color scheme is in shades of blue gray and green, frightened by the brick in the fireplace and the bright l chintz with which the wicker chairs are upholstered. The rug Is a quiet, conventional pattern of closely related 1 tones.
 Costume Designing. (Mldred Johanna Anderson)
 A neat appearance and becoming | clothes very often influence girls success and happiness. A well dressed girl knows how to choose her clothes and how to wear them. The girls in the practical arts course have been learning how to design them well. The dress of the school girl should be
 simple and above all else comfortable
 plain enough not to interfere with her
 activities pretty and becoming.
 The girls design collars and cuffs in
 the seventh grade and belts and fa%- ! enings for their dresses. The example
 shown was designed and painted by an
 eighth grade girl.
 Printing.
 (Harry W. Hoffman, Leon W. Bacon, l Louis Holtzhauser.)
 The first step in the actual process | of printing is type setting. In
 composing stick, set to the length Ie-
 termined by the job to be done, the
 types are set one by one, letters, p'tnc- tuation, and spaces. s|
 These letters marks, and spaces are | arranged in the cases you see before you, not in alphabetical order, but placed in a way most convenient to the ! compositor. One of the first things for a beginner to do is to learn the lot cation of these types which is no mean task. After the type is set and corrected it is made up, put in the press, and as many copies printed IS the order calls for.
 Picture Mounting. l (Hilma V. Quistberg, Higina A. PetQse zkis, Dorothy Barrowes, Hilda M. Borg.)
 Much time is given in the speciality l shop to mounting pictures, and we study the effect of the color of the mount and the width of the margin.
 Pictures which are finished is sesasa as this photograph of an apple tree in 1 full bloom are mounted on dark brown 1 cards. The color of the mount har- monizing with the tones of brown in the picture. A picture with tones of soft blue, gray, and green such as this reproduction of a painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, is seen to best 3d- vantage on the gray mount, while such a picture as the Mother and l Child" by George De Forest Bush re- ! quires the dark greenish background, l to chow the full beauty of it's coloring. In mounting pictures they are first trimmed carefully with a scissors. re- moving all the white of the margin and then the color of the mat is de-
