Excellent Work Done
In Manual Training

The following report made by J.
M. Dockstader, principal of the man.
ual training school, to Superintend-
ent of Schools S. Z. Shull shows the
work done during the past year:
IN the regular grade classes, sixth.
seventh and eighth, ye have contin-
ued systematizing the shop work and
emphasizing the ! correlated tnfor-
national work in definite manner.
The ten minute lectures and reviews
have been elaborated and tests have
been arranged and given in order to
judge how much of this work the
pupils We're getting. The results
have been very satisfactory but can
undoubtedly be improved next year.
This work has been In direct
charge Of George Seaman and credit
is due him for its success. He has
also put over a very interesting pro-
ject in his eighth grade classes of a
model yacht. This model includes in
its construction several metal work
ing processes, cutting and bending
Of sheet and wire. and casting of lead
keels. wood moulds being used.
The work OF the seventh and
eighth grade Industrial classes has
progressed satisfactorily and meets
a great need Of the community, par
ticulariy in finding the vocational
aptitudes of the pupils as well as in
its informatioal canpacity.
The various departments OF this
class printing. metal working, and
wood working, haye also handled the
shop work of tne continuation school
but I would recommend the planning
of separate shops for this work.
Tho character OF the work in these
lines Is vastly different and 1t is not
to the interest of either to combine
them.
One Of the notable features of
the work of the wood working de-
partment. aside other projects and re
pairs noted below, has been the
building of the bench equipment for
the shops in the new Hall avenue
school.
The print shop has taken care OF
all the school printing as well as va
rious tests, exams, courses OF study,
etc. The quality of work turned out
has been comparable to commercial
work.
The school paper, the Grammar
School Companion has been regular
ly issued and has lead to an in
creades interest on the part of the
pupils In school spirit, grammar
English, punctuation, etc. A large
number of Christmas cards were also
printed from linoleum blocks cut In
the art department. The blocks were

for q big peach crop In New Jersey

making q survey.
Weather conditions have been ia

ise of one of the most valuable crops
ever harvested in New Jersey.
Early apples have not Jared so

that the set of the fruit has been

prepared for the art department by
the wood shop from linoleun donat-
ed by Albert Leon & Son.
In the metal working department,
gas heaters were made and installed
for the heating Of soldering irons,
greatly facilitating this work. This
shop has also made various repairs
and projects as noted below.
One of the features of the eighth
grade metal work has been the max
ing of small set of tools for him
self by each of the pupils, consist
ing of hammer, cold chisel, punch,
clamp and bow drill. These tools
Will enable him to carry on some Of
this work at home and keep up his
interest in mechanical lines.
A notable feature has been the
production OF arm badges for the va
rious safety patrols organized by
Officer Seiboth who has also co-op-
Grated in the production of these
badges.
The installation OF q small furnace
for melting brass 10 recommended In
this department. The usual course
of ten lessons In elementary foundry
work II now being given but a. the
castings are In white metal, we are
not able to utilize our product for
further, work in other lines OF metal
working. II these castings could be
made in brass we could use them for
exercises In fling, drilling, etc., and
in the construction of Interesting
and instructive models.
The work of these Industrial class
es has been greatly hampersd this
year by a light registration for this
work. If people could only realize
the immense advantages this work
gives a pupil for intelligent voca-
tional choice. there would be a great
'er demand for 1t. The present meth
cd of selecting applicants could be
much improved upon.
A test has been developed for
judging the abilities of those who
do apply, so as to give the benefit
of the work to those who are best
fitted for 1t. The test Is working
very satisfactorily but this choice
can only function IL the registration
Is large In testing, the pupil IL al
ways given the benefit of any doubt
and is given a chance IL he shows
any aptitude for the work.
The following are some Of the
projects put over by the industrial
class:
A number Of bicycle<racks for the
girls court In the grammar school.
Book shelves In the Principals Of
fee in the grammar school.

An exhibition of the sewing work
was held December 20. The room
was prettily decorated with Christ
mas decorations ana the girls. their
mothers, and friends showed great
interest in the work on exhibition.
Another exhibition was held on
June IL to close the year, showing
the dresses and MILDLY blouses made
since Christmas.
A good sized pottery kiln has been
installed In the boiler house at the
grammar school SO that we will be
able to bring into our shop work
some of the features of the clay in
dustry which is 30 important in this
section.
This has been made possible by
the courtesy and cooperation CT the
various manufacturers of the COM
munity. all parts and supplies hav-
ing been donated 30 that the cost OF

Attention is called to the co-opera-

manual training department. They
have very kindly done for us what
small machine work we have needed
a. we'll as overhauled and rebuilt
several lathes and other of our ma
chimes. And as their wood working
department IL located in New
Brunswick. we have been able to
make some slight return by making
patterns and other wood working
projects for them.
Similar cooperation has also
taken place between our wood work
Ing department and the electrical
department of the Elizabeth voca-
tional school.
The arrangements of the cooking
room in the grammar school has
been revised. a new cupboard built.
the old cupboards cut down and re-
into the hall, making for safety and
convenience. The coal range has
been overhauled and put In commits
sion, q coal fire having been main
tained most of the winter. This
keeps the room dry, furnishes hot
water and promotes and health and
comfort, as we'll as furnishing prac-
tice in handling ana use of a coal
range.
The girls of the eighth-grade in
dustrial class served a dinner to the
Board of Education as a demonstra-
tion of what they had learned. The
table was nicely decorated and the
menu was excellent.
AS a closing feature OF their work
the eighth grade Industrial class
held a lunch box picnic at Washing
ton Rock. A bus was hired for
transportation, and the principal of
the grammar school and several of
the industrial class teachers were
guests. All reported a good time
and the lunches put up by the girls
were thoroughly appreciated.
The cooking department also as

CURRENT EVENTS
By CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

Everything but the vice preetden-
tial nomination went through Just
as scheduled at the Republican con-
Coolidge got the presidential nom-
ination as per program.
For vice president the convention
chose Frank o. Lowden, but he de-
clined.
Such a thing never happened be-
fore but once--in 1914, when the
Democrats named silas Wright to
run with James X. Polk. met re-
fusal and picked George M. Dallas
instead.
Lowden is said to have consid-
cred that he was double-crossed for
the presidency in 1920 and wouldn't
take anything else this time.
The convention, turned down by
Lowden, named Charles @. Dawes.
The Platform
The platform was wholly conserv-
ative. It contained a law enforce
ment plank, which, OF course, drys
are expected to understand as mean
ing the voistead law. while the vets
are not.
Against Everything
The Wisconsin delegates, as ex-
pected. voted mo" on everything
even the resolution thanking the
doorkeepers. But the, Wisconsiinites
didn't bolt. It suits their convent
ence better nominally to maintain
their Republican standing. HOW
ever. there's no question they'll sup
port La Toilette, who seems certain
to be nominated independently at
the Cleveland Conference for Fro
gressiye Political Action July !.
Plenty OF Pep
The Democratic convention, De,
ginning June "a in New York. VIII
more than make UP for what the
Republican gathering lacked IN pep:
between so and 10 presidential
candidates have been mentioned b
but it's as likely as not the nomi-
nation will go to some Democrat nor
yet suggested at all.
McAdoo and Smith presumably
will lead in the early voting. II
hare majority could nominate, one
or the other of them might win, OUT
in the Democratic convention II
takes two-thirds. It's more tnan
doubtful IL either can get two-tniros.
If not, II will be anybody's guess.
France
France has been having presi-
Dental fight, too.
The anti-administration forces
in the national assembly, having
driven Premier Poincare to quit, un-
dertook to make President Millerand
also resign. Millerand resisted for
a while, but finally the pressure wal
too much for him and he followed
Poincare. Then the assembly elect
ed Castor Doumergue.
This doesn't necessarily mean a
milder German policy, as some FOLK
think. Opposition to Millerand ano
Poincare was due to a 90 per cent
tax increase. not TO their attitude
toward the Germans.
Japan
Japan has a new premier-Vis-
count Kato. He has the reputation
of being anti-American. but Baron
Shidehara, whom he appointed fer-
eign minister, always has been
