T. The methods used in the school
shop should approximate those used
in commercial shops The extent 20
which this may be done will Il some
cases depend upon the adequacy Of
the equipment
s. Pupils should be required 70
make Investigations and reports Of

meet the work Of the school shop
with that IN the commercial shop.
