partment, and the agricultural work
will be resumed in the rooms vacated

this room has been partitioned off by
the manual training boys and will be
used by them for a finishing room.

it has been almost impossible to get
satisfactory varnish on account of dust
in the manual training shops.

work receive school credits toward
their regular work in the vocational
department, and as a result these
