The manual arts department IS
one of the most interesting of the
special departments of the high
school. Tho machine shop is.
with the exception Of the Santa re
shops, the best equipped one in
the city. The policy of this de-
partment has been to teach the
boys to make their own tools. The
boys design them, make their own
tracings, the blue prints, and the
wood patterns. The iron castings
are made at local foundry. This
makes it possible to have more
tools, and also offers training in
skilled trade.
Auto mechanics and forge work
of a grade as good as college WORK

The classes in the wood work de-
on hardwood furniture. Each buys
his own materials. They make
such articles as library tables,

Virginia. This ride usually begins
at 2 o'clock, lasting two hours.
Since coming to Washington as
president, Mr.. Wilson has always
shown a marked preference for tina
Virginia landscape. In his golfing
days. he preferred to play at club
situated on the Virginia side of the
Potomac, and this preference for
the Virginia countryside is still
noted.
Tea Is an Event.
On returning from his ride, tea
is served at the street home where
the wilson's have lived since retir-
ing from the White House. Tea
has become quite an institution.
and 1t is then that the restricted
social life of the Wilson's becomes
apparent. Often there are guests
but rarely indeed are these former
political friends or henchmep. AS
a rule, they are friends of Mrs.
Wilson.
In the interval between tea and
dinner. which is served promptly
at 1890 o'clock, the former presi-
dent turns to his writing. Just
what this writing is, 1t is doubtful
whether anyone knows outside OF
the immediate family of the presi-
dent. At his big desk the express
ident sits and writes and writes.
| 1t may be his personal record OF
the stormy years he spent at the
helm of the ship Of state. 1t may
be a literary effort OF another kind
Until it is finished and 1t pleases
Mr.. Wilson to publish this work, II
lis bound to remain mystery. The
belief is strong that he Is writing
most about the time when the eyes
of the world were turned on him
as the sponsor of the league OF ma
tons plan--the plan for which ne
fought so hard that his health ano
strength were forever impaired.
1t is a rare occasion when there
lis an evening caller at the Wilson
home. 1t may be that DR.. GraysoI
has limited his distinguished pa
tient in this regard. 1t may be thai
IMr. Wilson himself has discouraged
this on the part of friends.
