The masonry department aus Aad
a remarkable sro~tn nagiag 9e4A 04-
ganIzed in July 1927 with five stu
gents, the present enrolment is nane-
team. ora IN TINS aepa rmeuE Gov
ers a complete range OF experiences
in the masory trade inciuuing tae
various phases OF brick work, con
crete, piastering. and stucco. The /
boys at presen. are dong plasterng
job for a local contractor.
The nature OF the wnoie program !
Is one of vitality and growth. The +
Trade School faculty is comprised OF /
teachers who feel very ciose.y iden-
tilted with the interest of the boy and
consistently labor i'm the direction of !
providing training that viii be a real
benefit TO him. One of the larger /
values in the reality of the program
is its actual performance of work in
the various trades. This makes II
necessary for both the boy and the
instructor to recognize tine current
practices in the trade and a spirit Of
listlessness cannot develop as often
is the case under practice work pro-
gram. The entire faculty OF the
school are meeting once week for
two hours taking course in teacher
training as matter OF professional
improvement and this work will CON
tinue throughout the winter mon hs
Most Of the instructors have taken
this course before but are reviewing
the work and taking some further .
developments Of teaching practice.
Home Economics
The Home Economies department 4
has larger number Of all day stu ],
dents enrolled than last year This to- (
gcther with the regular high school co
operative work and grade school en-
rullmeut makes n full program. The y
wprk of this department aims 90 give :
Il practical understanding Of home
the thought being that while
a girl may prepare for teaching or
some other career there is little doubt
that in the larger number Of cases the
she will eventually choose win
be that of home maker and it is
with this point Of view that the home
economics department is functionng,
The course outlines are carefully bal
anced between practical household ex-
pcrience and the academic subjects
related
The Trade School Library At the
present time has something over 100
books received from two donations,
the library being founded by the gift
Of fifty books from the Bugbee Cor
poration. The boys are making ex-
ccllent use of their opportunity for
good reading.
Evening Glasses
Evening school classes are being
carried on In all departments includ-
ing the textile and have been very
from the standpoint OF
numbers and Attendance The wea-
Their has been especially favorable
this year for the attendance Of out-of
town students and the evening school
shows a good record.
