tractors, or builders, architects, car
penters, manual training teachers and
others connected with the wood work
ing industries.
War Time Use of Wood.
Wood is in more general use than
any other of our natural resources,
and its utilization requires more spe-
eial knowledge than that of any other
material, yet there has been a notable
lack of available information regard :
ing it's properties. 1t is to assist in
supplying this information, as well
as with realization of the import
ance of the wood working industries,
that this course is offered. OF vital
Importance at the present time is the

emphasis is placed upon the use of
wood for ships, cantonments, aero
planes, gun stocks, etc.

The course consists of IL assign
ments, including the structure of
wood. physical properties of wood,
standard grades and sizes, structural
timbers, seasoning and preservation of
wood, paints and stains, lumber prices,
