The children have some idea of number work from the work last year with blocks, and the teacher will correlate number and language with the lessons in woodwork. From such instrnotion pupils should have a clear idea of the fonr fundamental rules of arithmetic. Tbirdyear.-From teachers of carpentry everywhere in the semie comes the regret that pupils coming to the shop have to be taught to take measnrements correctly. This w o ~mk ust begin in the class room as soon as the childis able to nnderstand the ruler, which will hc not later than the Second year, and the child mnst he shown by the class-room teacher every day how to use the tool correctly and to take measurements accurately, until he is able to take them alone. It is an iujnstlco to tho boy to send hlm t i t hocarp~ntcrsbop,w here there are so many imporrant le.aons to he learned, nue.lniplled to takn np the work there. By tenrh-inc a boy to do th s work tboruu~hlv.h o will be read,, to make crrater ~IOLTCS<. Bythe list of this yeaipupils will b6 able to use a rule; andtapeITne ininteg~ntly; they can make %foot rulers of soft wood, prepared for them by the larger boys in the carpenter shop. Useful articles must be made this year.

Fonrth year.-Review measurements, boring with a gimlet, joinery, and chamfer-ing with a jazkknife. Then take up- Half-lap joint. Open mortise and tenon joint. Mortise and tenon joint. Miter joint. Miter half lap. Dowelling. Dado joint. Half-dovetail joint. hslved together. A dovetail with single tongue; with several tongues. The locked joint. The scarf joint. Where the teacher has taught joinery thoroughly the pupilswill beable tomake a box finished complete and without help. The class must be familiar with the gauge. Drill the class at setting gauge at different gradation#. Drawings will be made from meaaorementa given of all work before starting it. Simple furniture might he made this year. In the shop.-Preface.-A pupil mnat first be put on work that is simple-repair work, helping mend fences, walka, furniture, etc. As he learns to nse tools skill-fully he is advanced to more difficult and complicated work. Pupils must acquire a workmanlike anu skillful use of the various tools; they must know how to sharpen and keep them in fit condition for work, and see that they are kept in their proper place. They must he given a varlety of bench work which will bring into use all the tools commonly used in the trade. Pupils must be taught to lay out and construct centers and window frames, make, case, and hang doors, lay beams and set bridging in same, erect stud partitions, and lay flooring. A course in joinery, also the way to lag sheathing and shingles on a frame house, must be taught. Exercise3 must be given in measuring on a plane surface with role and knife: quaring with try-square; ganging with marking gauge; aawiug to a line with np, crosscut, and back saws; planing to true surface; planing ends smooth and true ~ i t bhlo ck plane; lining roughlumber with straightedge and pencil: making the half joint, or box halving; maklng the dado or cross groove: nailing butt joints, mortising and tenoning, boring and making jointa fastened with screws; gluing: making a smooth surface with plane, scraper, and sandpap; grooved work; making miter joint; making irregular bevels; making dovetails; laying out and sawing curved work. (Ench of the above exercises should be worked in free-hand drawing from a model prepared by teacher, the model then set asideand the object reproduced from the drawing.) hi thecourse in drawing it is not intended to make -pert draftsmen, hut to give such instruction as will enable pupils to mad readily drawings both of ~ISDB &nd of work such as generally comes before a meohauic in his trade. |
