The report of the Committee on Manual Training, issued in December, 1897, contained the course of study and a detailed account of the Mechanic Arts High School, but unfortunately the edition was so small that it was exhausted in a few weeks. To meet the constantly increasing demand for the information which "that report furnished, the Committee on Manual Train- ing has decided to reproduce the substance of it, with such additions and changes as are required to give a clear idea of the school at the present time. Valuable additions to the school system of a great city are necessarily made slowly. Those who have patiently labored for the establishment of the Mechanic Arts High School, anxiously watched its development, and struggled to advance its interests, bave now the satisfaction of noting results which abundantly justify their efforts. The initial step toward the establishment of this institu- tion, which now stands at the head of the system of manual training in the public schools of Boston, was taken as early as 1883. In his annual report for that year the Superin- tendent of Public Schools, Mr. Edwin P. Seaver, j^resented a comprehensive statement of the arguments in favor of industrial education, submitted a tentative plan for instruc- tion in tool work, and called attention to rooms in the Latin and English High School building that were available for the experiment. Subsequent events have shown that the suggestions in this report were wise and far-sighted; but its only immediate effect was to arouse public interest in an important educational factor that had previously received little attention. Six years later Mr. Seaver renewed his recommendation in his annual report, and after an extended tour of investigation, in which he made a careful study of the principal manual training schools of the country, pre- sented a special report accompanied by a detailed plan for a 4 REPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. Mechanic Arts High School in Boston. Much of the inter- est in manual training which now exists in all parts of the country is due to the influence of that report; but many circumstances combined to delay the adoption of its specific recommendations. It was not until September, 1893, that the school was opened, and the equipment of the first wood- working room was not ready for use until the following March. There were then no schools of this class that could safely be taken as models. At the outset the requirenients of manufac- turing establishments rather than the essential conditions of successful school work exerted a dominating influence, and as a consequence, many details of the original conception both of the building and equipment required modification in the light of experience. The necessary changes, however, have not in- volved large expenditures. Fortunately the north wing was not built with the main structure, and opportunity was given to adapt the plans for it to the needs which had become evident. This wing, completed during the school year 1899- 1900, in connection with the improvements and readjustments made in the main building, has greatly increased the efliciency of the school in all departments, and nearly doubled its work- ing capacity. The following exhibit of attendance shows that the increased accommodations were imperatively demanded: First Year Class. Second Year Class. Third Year Class. Foiirth Year Class. Total.

It is neither a trade school, nor an institution peculiarly adapted to pupils of any EEPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 5 particular class or social condition. Its jurisdiction is the entire city of Boston, and its splendid opportunities are freely offered to the sons of all citizens. Its special function is to fur- nish systematic instruction in drawing, and the elements of the mechanic arts, in addition to a thorough high school course in which mathematical and scientific branches predominate. The training which it gives is not less valuable to a boy who is to become a lawyer or a physician than to one who is to superin- tend a manufacturing establishment, or work at the bench. The many-sided activities of the school tend to reveal to boys their dominant powers and aptitudes, and lead them to a happy choice of occupation. It educates them not primarily to become mechanics, but to become men of intelligence and skill. It en- courages industry, arouses ambition, and opens wide the avenues to success, usefulness and happiness. In an age characterized by a marvellous development of industries based upon scientific and mechanical principles, when manual dexterity and a knowl- edge of mechanical processes are essential to success in number- less profitable employments, it is unnecessary to point out the great value of an institution which combines a good high school education with systematic training in the mechanic arts. The school is located in the Back Bay District, at the corner of Belvidere and Dalton streets. In its main features the building is admirably adapted to the purposes for which it was designed. A convenient assembly hall and a gymnasium are the only important features which are lacking. The rooms are large and well lighted, and peculiarly attractive on account of their evident fitness for their specific uses. The rooms in which machinery is run are separated from the rest of the build- ing by heavy double brick partitions on each side of a stairway. The ceilings of the school-rooms are plastered with King's Windsor cement, which effectually prevents the transmission of sound from floor to floor. In the shpps the mill construction prevails, and the ceilings are finished with embossed sheet steel. The tint chosen for the steel ceilings and the brick walls of the rooms and corridors is agreeable to the eye, and adapted to diffuse light freely. Adequate provision has been made for heating and ventilation by approved modern methods. The cost of site, building, and equipment has been about $310,000. 10 REPOET OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. In the basement (Plate II.) are the boiler-room, coal-room, engine-room, engineer's store-room, the janitor's room, and the hicycle-room. Here, also, are the principal toilet-rooms, and dressing rooms, containing 258 clothes lockers, each fitted with a combination lock, and adapted to accommodate two boys. Each of these lockers is 23 by 18 ins. in plan, and 5 feet high. The floors, and the upper panel of each door, are of stout wire netting. In one of these rooms is the lunch counter. On the first floor (Plate III.) are the ofiice of the head mas- ter, with a lobby for visitors and a library adjoining, the chem- ical laboratory and the room for chemical stores, two school rooms, one of which accommodates eighty pupils, and the other ninety-six, three recitation rooms, the machine shop, the tool- room for metal-working tools, a storage room for metal stock, an office for the instructors in metal work, and a private room for men teachers. On the second floor (Plate IV.) are the physical laboratory with a teacher's laboratory, a storage room for apparatus, and a dark room adjoining, a private room for women teachers, two school rooms identical with those on the first floor, two wood- working rooms for first year pupils, the carpentry tool-room, the room for the preparation of stock for exercises in wood- working, and the finishing room, On the third floor (Plate V.) are two school rooms identical with those on the first floor, a small school room which accom- modates thirty pupils, two drawing rooms, a storage room for drawing materials, a wood-turning and pattern-making room, a modeling room, and a toilet-room. The two large school rooms are separated by flexible doors so that they may be thrown together to furnish an assembly hall for occasional use. DRAWING. Each of the two drawing rooms (Plate V.) has accommoda- tions for six classes of thirty-six pupils. The drawing tables (Fig. 1) provide conveniently for the storage of all materials used in class exercises ; consequently pupils obtain the articles needed at the beginning of the lesson, and restore them to their proper places at its close, with little loss of time. Each table is fitted with a locker, which holds six half imperial (17 by 24 REPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 11 ins.) drawing boards. The six individual drawers on the right contain the note books, pencils, needle points, erasers, etc., the personal property of each pupil. The following instruments are supplied to each table, and are used in common by members of different classes. With the exception of the T square, they are stored in the drawer over the locker.

Over the teacher's platform in each di'awing room, in addition to the slate blackboard on the wall, is a set of three movable 12 REPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. blackboards (54 by 83 ins.) placed one directly in front of another, each counterbalanced by weights. In the rear of the larger room are the device for exposing blue-prints to the sun- light, and the sink and racks for washing and drying them. CAEPENTEY AND WOOD-CAEVING. Two adjoining rooms on the second floor (Plates TV., VI.) are assigned to the department of wood-working with hand tools. This department is equij^ped to accommodate daily six classes of thirty-six puj)ils. Each room is furnished with eighteen double benches, 57 ins. long, 45 ins. wide on the top, and varying in height from 29 to 33 ins. On each side of these benches is a tier of three drawers, one of which is assigned to each pupil, for the set of cutting tools with which he is supplied. Here, also, are kept his apron and unfinished work. Upon a vertical tool board 9J ins. high which divides the top of the bench in the centre, and upon hooks and shelves at the ends of the bench, are kept the following measuring and , miscellaneous tools used in common by members of different classes : Stanley Rule and Level Co.'s tools: one each, T bevel, 10 in., Xo. 18; rule, 2 ft., No 18; try-square, 6 in., No. 10.

Two Brown and Sharpe grindstone troughs, fitted with stones and truing devices, are installed in one of these rooms. Water is brought in brass pipes to all of the grindstones in the various departments, and the troughs are connected with a system of drain pipes which lead to a sand catch-basin in the basement. The tool-room, which contains a variety of minor supplies, together with a large collection of miscellaneous tools for occasional use, is located between the two wood-working rooms, and is conveniently entered from either of them. Many of the shelves in this room are divided by narrow strips of wood in such a way that each tool has its appropriate compartment, and it is an invariable rule that every article must be kept in its proper place. Each pupil is supplied with three brass checks bearing his shop number, one of which will be received by the jDcrson in charge of the tool-room in exchange for any desired tool. The check is placed in the compartment from which the tool is taken, where it remains until it is redeemed by the return of the tool. The following are the principal tools in this tool-room : Bailey's patent adjustable iron planes : 4 beading, No. 50 ; 2 dado, fillester, plow, etc., No. 46 ; 1 tonguing and grooving, No. 48 ; 1 tonguing and grooving.

Here are installed a Colburn double-arbor bench saw, and a Dover band saw for the use of the instructors and especially skilful pupils only, and a Moseley jig-saw which all the pupils are taught to use. The location of these saws in a separate room permits their use without disturbance to class exercises. An adjoining room is furnished with convenient tables and other fixtures for the final work upon all models or projects which require shellac or other painter's finish. WOOD-TUENING AND PATTEEN-MAKING. In the wood-turning and pattern-making room (Plates V., VII., YIII.) there are thirty-six benches. On one side of the bench (Fig. 2) is a Putnam 11-in. speed lathe, the other side is used for work with hand tools. As in the other wood- working rooms, these benches are fitted with 9-in. Wyman & Gordon quick-action vises. ■ Beneath the lathe is a tier of three drawers, each containing a set of turning tools. On the opposite side, under the work bench, is a tier of four drawers. The top drawer in this tier is devoted to the measuring and miscellaneous tools iised in com- mon by members of different classes, while each of the three others contains an individual set of cutting tools.

No. 2; a dust brush. Conveniently located in the centre of the room are two grindstones, and an 8-ft. Putnam pattern-makers' lathe, which with open slide, is capable of doing work 36 ins. in diameter. 16 KEPOET OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. This lathe is fitted with the most approved devices for doing all kinds of work, and is designed to be used only by instructors and by pupils who develop special skill and demonstrate their ability to do a high order of work. Near at hand is a small tool-room which contains a large variety of minor supplies, and all miscellaneous tools likely to be needed. The loft above this room furnishes adequate storage for a year's supply of lumber. In one corner of each of the three wood-working rooms is an amphitheatre in which the entire class may be seated so that each member can see plainly the work done by the instructor at the demonstration bench. The space behind the amphitheatre has been utilized to provide a convenient place for sinks and mirrors. A coj)per tank containing four glue pots heated by steam is installed in each wood-working room. Large cases are provided for the convenient storage of prepared stock and finished work. The frames of drawing tables and work benches, and all ex- posed parts of tables, benches, and cases, are ash ; the sides of drawers, interior of cases, and tops of drawing tables are white pine ; the tops of work benches are of narrow strips of maple glued together to prevent warping. All drawers and compart- ments of cases are fitted with locks, no two of which have the same combination, but all are operated by a master key. The tables and benches have been constructed in the most thorough and substantial manner, and no pains have been spared to make every part of the equipment illustrate excellence of design and workmanship. FORGING. The forge-shop (Plates II., IX.) is a one story brick struc- ture 93 ft. long and 41 ft. wide, which occupies the entire space between the two wings at the rear of the main building. It is lighted both by windows in the wall and by a large monitor with sky-light. Its relation to the main building is such that the noise incident to the work causes no disturbance in the class rooms. It is equipped with B. F. Sturtevant Company's new down draft forges, and all necessary appliances for the instruction of three classes, daily, each containing thirty-six pupils. The equipment of each forge is as follows : A set of blacksmith's tongs (groove in jaw) for holding iron |^, ^, f, ^, I ins. ; tool tongs for | in. square iron ; square groove tongs for iron, o CZ5 Cm O w O o M KEPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 17 I by I ins. ; bolt tongs, |^ in. ; a poker for forge, 2 ft. ; a dipper, 3| in, diameter, 3Mn. deep, handle 15 in. ; a rake for forge, 2 ft. ; a coal hod ; a forge shovel. Upon a post conveniently located with reference to each of these forges is an Eagle anvil weighing 130 lbs., near which is placed a tool bench (Fig. 3) supplied with the following tools : Fig. 3. A cross peen hand hammer, 2^ lbs. ; a top and bottom swage, |- in. ; a hot chisel from 1^ in. steel ; a flatter, 2 in. face ; a set hammer, 1^ in. face ; a hardy, f in. shank ; a heading tool, -^^ in. ; a centre punch, ^ by 5 ins.; top and bottom fullers, | in. ; a steel square, 12 in., graduated to Y^^ in. outside, gV in. inside ; Bemis & Call outside wing calipers, 6 in.; punches, one each, i, | ins. ; copper plate, 2^ by 2| by f ins. ; a dust brush. Ea«h of these tool benches, 14 by 21 ins. in plan, and 27 in. high, contains three drawers, one of which is assigned to each 18 EEPOKT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. boy for the storage of the models which he has completed, or on which he is engaged. Each of these individual drawers is furnished with a 1|- lb. ball peen hand hammer. Fourteen blacksmiths' vises and one combination pipe vise are attached to benches firmly secured to the brick floor in convenient loca- tions. Stock cut in pieces of the length required for the various exercises is stored in compartments in these benches. Fans of ample size produce blast for the forges, and carry away the foul air and products of combustion. In one corner of the room is a raised platform on which thirty-six arm chairs are placed for the use of pupils during the demonstration lessons. The instructor's forge, located in front of this platform, is supplied with a Root hand blower for use when the engine is not running. Near this platform are two cases, one designed for the storage of blue-prints and miscella- neous supplies, and the other for prepared stock. The upper portion of the stock case is provided with glass doors, and is adapted to receive a series of models, made by the instructor, designed to show both the finished product and the important steps to be considered in making the model. A 75-lb. Laird and Sweeney power hammer, a New Doty Manufacturing Com- pany's No. 7A power shear, a Goddard No. 3 drill press, an automatic drop press (Mossberg & Granville Company's pattern) built by pupils in 1899-1900, an emery grinder, a bolt heading machine, and numerous miscellaneous tools complete the equipment. MACHINE SHOP PKACTICE. The machine shop (Plates III., XI.) is equipped for classes of twenty-four pupils. The benches, 20 in. wide and from 32 to 86 in. high, which extend along three sides of this room are divided into twenty-four sections, each provided with a vise and a tier of four drawers one of which is assigned to each pupil. In this drawer the boy stores the work upon which he is en- gaged, together with about a dozen files and a set of chisels and lathe tools. Four additional pupils can be accommodated, in emergencies, at a less convenient bench located on the west side of the room. At the beginning of a lesson each pupil obtains from the Plate XII.

Each engine lathe is furnished with a tool board of special design, adapted to receive the tool-tray, and to provide a con- venient place for ciitting and miscellaneous tools. Upon pegs in a vertical board fastened under the bed of each lathe are kept the face plates, change gears, back rest, chuck drill rest, and a set of dogs, •^, f, 1, 1^, and 2 ins. There is no available space for an amphitheatre similar to those in the wood- working department. During the demonstration lessons pupils occupy tablet arm chairs grouped about the instructor's bench, which is placed in front of a large blackboard in the rear of the room. Near at hand is the tool-room, furnished with shelves and cases for the numerous tools required for the various kinds KEPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 21 of woi'k. One of these cases, which stands near the door, con- tains the small tools likely to be needed frequently, and the tool- trays previously mentioned. An attendant delivers these trays to the pupils at the beginning of the lesson, and is always ready to furnish any desired tool in exchange for a pupil's check. The universal tool and cutter grinder and the power hack-saw are located in this room.

The stock-room (Plate III.) is furnished with shelves, com- partments, and racks adapted to provide convenient storage for the many varieties of supplies, castings, and prepared metal stock that are needed hy the classes. No pains have been spared to provide a convenient place for all of the numerous articles used in every department of the school, and it is an invariable rule that every article must be kept in its proper place. It is deemed as important to establish ordei-ly habits as to teach mechanical principles. COURSE OF STUDY, AIMS, AND METHODS. Any boy who has been graduated from a Boston grammar school is entitled to admission to the Mechanic Arts High School without examination. All other candidates must pass the examination for admission to high schools set by the Board of Supervisors. It is probable that a limited number of non-resident pupils can be admitted. Applications for admission by non-residents are received with the understanding that preference will be given to graduates of Boston grammar schools, whenever the limit of accommodations is reached. The tuition of non-resident pupils varies slightly from year to year, but is likely to be about $85 per annum. 'The outline course of study (page 58), and the analysis which follows, will give a tolerably clear idea of the character and scope of the work at present pui-sued. Although its main features are fully established, the course is still regarded as provisional, and minor changes will be made at any time to meet varying conditions. To enable the largest REPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 23 number of pupils to enjoy the advantages of the school, it is necessary that each division should contain the maximum num- ber for which the shops and drawing rooms are equipped. This need of keeping the entire equipment of the mechanical departments in constant use places an important limitation upon the number of elective subjects which can be offered. In general, the subjects of study during the first three years are the same for all, but the amount of work required in each subject is proi:)ortioned to the varying degrees of ability dis- played by the pujiils. The classes are divided and the work arranged so that no one will be taxed beyond his power, while those who work rapidly receive the stimulus of demands calcu- lated to call forth their best efforts. The amount of work accomplished is deemed relatively unimportant in comparison with the mastery of correct methods and the formation of good habits. Moreover, no pains are spared to adapt the coitrse to the special needs of individuals so that no faithful pupil who makes a good record in most subjects is compelled to waste time upon a stxidy for which he has no native aptitude. The course has been arranged with reference, primarily, to the needs of boys whose school life is to end with the high school, but fortunately this course offers excellent preparation for the higher scientific schools. The thorough training in shop work and drawing enables pupils who enter such higher institutions as the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard Uni- versity, or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to anticipate equivalent work in those institutions, and thus gain valuable time for advanced courses. Diplomas are awarded at the end of the third year, and also at the end of the fourth year of the course. The work of the fourth year enables good students to anticipate not only courses in shop work and draw- ing, but also several of the courses prescribed for the first year in the higher scientific schools. All who intend to enter those schools will find it much to their advantage to complete the fourth year. Numerous inquiries concerning the school have been made by parents who are anxious to give their sons the advantages of a thorough course in manual training, but who also desire to have them begin Latin, when they enter the high school, as a 24 REPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. part of their course in preparation for college. If such appli- cations should be received in sufficient number to justify the formation of special classes, the question of making Latin an elective subject throughout the course will be seriously consid- ered. It may prove practicable to arrange a program that will enable boys to take three years of college preparatory work in the Mechanic Arts High School in connection with a substantial course in shop work and drawing, and complete their preparation for college in the Public Latin School. It is the aim of the mechanical departments to teach in a thorough and systematic way the elements of carpentry, joinery, wood-carving, wood-turning, pattern-making, forging of iron and steel, chipping, filing, fitting, and machine-tool work. For each department a carefully graded series of models has been chosen, the construction of which illustrates every fundamental principle or process. The models in the primary series are made by all the members of a class. Running parallel with the primary series is a set of supplementary models that involve the application of principles already learned to more difficult work. The supplementary exercises are undertaken only by those who are capable of doing more than the regular work of the class. This arrangement makes it practicable to adapt the rate of movement of the class to the needs of j)upils of fair ability, while the more rapid and skilful workers emj^loy their spare time upon interesting exercises that demand their best efforts. The work is planned so as to require the exercise of judgment, thought, and care. Since ■ the educational value of shop exercises depends largely upon the amount of careful thought which they develop, no tasks are repeated merely for the sake of gaining facility ; as soon as the difficulties of a given process have been fairly mastered a new problem is substituted. Boys of good ability do, however, acquire considerable skill, for the construction of each new model involves some repetition of the processes which preceding ones were specially designed to illustrate. The models recently made by many boys will bear close inspection, and are not unworthy to be compared with the products of expert workmen. No special emphasis is placed upon the value of the particu- KEPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 25 lar models that have been chosen, for the model is of little con- sequence in comparison with the instruction given concerning it, the manner in which it is made by the pupil, and the spirit which dominates the work. Changes will be made whenever it is discovered that added interest, or a firmer grasp of an impor- tant principle, can be secured by substituting a new model for any one in the series. It is, however, regarded of supreme importance that no principle or method shall be taught that does not embody the best practice of skilled artisans. While the primary purpose of the school is to secure the harmonious development of all the powers of the pupil, without special reference to vocational ends, the fact is not overlooked that the manual dexterity and knowledge of mechanical principles ac- quired at school will be, for many boys, the immediate stepping- stones to profitable employment. Moreover, many graduates of the school will continue their studies in higher institutions, and ultimately, as architects, engineers, or superintendents, direct the work of other men engaged in mechanical pursuits. The character and value of their supervision will depend largely upon the impressions received at school. It is highly impor- tant, therefore, that no boy should learn theories or methods not in accord with the best practice established by experience. An important factor in the scheme of instruction in the mechanical departments is the final formal inspection of models by the class. The pupils are seated in the amphitheatre, and each places on the shelf before him his model and all needed measuring and testing tools. The instructor then calls atten- tion to the excellences and defects of a typical model, indicates the angles and surfaces to be tested and the dimensions to be verified, points out mistakes likely to be made, explains and illustrates at the bench methods by which common errors can be avoided, and determines the number of credits to be given for each element of the model that is perfect within assigned limits. Each pupil then carefully examines and tests his own model and returns it, with a systematic record of his investiga- tion, to the instructor, who verifies the record at his leisure. This method serves to develop the power to form correct judg- ments concerning the essential elements of perfect work, exposes shams, stimulates pride in worthy achievement, deepens 26 EEPOKT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. respect for a high order of mechanical skill, and demonstrates that success is impossible without mental alertness, patience, foresight, deftness, and unceasing care. The distinction between a manual-training high school and a trade school should not be overlooked. A trade school aims to teach thoroughly any one of many trades as rapidly as the student's ability will permit. No instruction is given that does not bear directly upon the chosen trade. Obviously the choice of occupation must be made on entering the school. If experi- ence demonstrates that the choice is unfortunate, a change nec- essarily involves considerable loss of time. If a boy begins to learn the carpenter's trade and discovers, after a time, that he has special aptitudes for sign-painting, the time spent at the bench will not shorten the period required to acquire skill with the brush. The functions of a trade school are strictly special ; general education does not fall within its scope. The manual-training school, on the contrary, teaches the elements of mechanic arts primarily on account of their educa- tional value, just as arithmetic and geometry are taught. It does not have vocational ends directly in view, but the manual dexterity and the knowledge of tools, materials, drafting, and methods of construction acquired at school serve to advance boys many stages toward the mastery of any trade. The com- bined experiences of the class-rooms and the w^ork-shops enable boys to form correct judgments concerning their fitness for a given employment. Moreover, their elementary but systematic knowledge of the entire field of mechanic arts gives them the same advantage in dealing with the difiicult problems of any trade that a liberal education gives to the student of law or medicine. Experience has shown that a large percentage of the graduates of manual-training high schools readily find em- ployment in desirable positions in which their mechanical train- ing proves of very great service. The Mechanic Arts High School will prolong the school life of many boys who would not attend the ordinary high school, by offering an attractive course of study, highly practical in character, calculated to reveal to them their native aptitudes and possibilities, lead them to a happy choice of occupation, and fit them to grapple more successfully with the problems of life. KEPORT OF MECHANIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. 27 Moreover, the school is sure to arouse in many boys an ambition to continue their studies in a higher institvition, and it offers the best possible preparation for the higher scientific and technical schools ; for the manual dexterity and the thorough knowledge of tools, machinery, and mechanical processes acquired in the stops, at an age when time can be most easily spared for such training, is of priceless value in any scientific pursuit. The shop exercises make great demands for patience, perseverance, and painstaking care, and stimulate a high order of mental activity. The school will encourage every noble endeavor, foster every worthy ambition, insist upon high standards of attainment in study and of perfection in mechanical work, cul- tivate self-control, kindness, politeness, and manliness, and deepen respect for honest toil. It already gives encouraging assurance that it will justify the expenditure made in its behalf, by enriching the Commonwealth with men whose brains and hearts and hands have been trained to efficient service. 28 REPOET OF MECHANIC AETS HIGH SCHOOL.

The main purpose of the mathematical course is to train pupils to habits of accuracy in thought and expression, and to give them clear notions of the value and convenience of mathe- matical processes in the investigation of practical problems. The study of algebra extends through two years. The first year's work has special reference to the attainment of profi- ciency in the more important processes, and extends through simultaneous quadratics. The second year's work is a review of the work of the preceding year, and extends through pro- gressions. Algebraic methods are employed in the solution of such problems as are met with in the study of the j)hysical sciences, and in the mechanical departments of the school. During the second year the subject of plane geometry is com- j)leted. The first half of the third year is devoted to the jDrinciples of solid geometry and to numerous exercises illustra- ting and enforcing them, while the remainder of the year is given to plane trigonometry and reviews. The work of this year in trigonometry is designed to faniiliar- ize the student with the fundamental principles and formulae. The subject is continued in the fourth year with special refer- ence to its application to problems in surveying, navigation, and physical science. Considerable attention is given to the transformation of trigonometric expressions and the solution of equations. The course in history for the first year consists of a rapid survey of the history of Greece and Rome, followed by a study of the History of England, with special reference to its influ- ence upon the Colonial Period in America. The study of the political history of the United States during the second year is designed to fix in the mind the causes and results of important historical movements. The work is adapted to trace clearly the growth of the principles of free self-government in England and their development when transplanted into America; to give clear notions of the character and functions of the colonial government, and of the Municipal, State, and Federal govern- ments of the present day. 30 EEPORT OF MECHANIC AETS HIGH SCHOOL. The distinguishing feature of the work in English is the emphasis placed upon practice in writing and speaking cor- rectly. Much importance is attached to writing based on the pupil's daily experience. The purpose of this course is to give facility in the correct use of the language, and to cultivate a taste for good literature. The books read during the last three years are largely determined by the requirements for admission to New England colleges. The careful study of the authors read serves to awaken a genuine interest in literature, to raise the standard of reading and thinking, and to improve the liter- ary taste. This work in literature is supplemented by exercises whose merits, rather than defects, are emphasized for improving the style of expression. The course in French is intended to enable pupils to read simple French with ease and pleasure, and to translate accu- rately into good English passages of moderate difficulty. Special effort is made to secure a correct pronunciation, and to give an intelligent notion of the grammatical structure of the language. The aims and methods in the German classes are the same as those in the French. The course in physics, fully illustrated by lecture table ex- periments, explanations and recitations, is designed to give clear ideas of the fundamental principles and laws in every dejDartment of the subject. This work is supj)lemented by a limited number of carefully selected laboratory experiments that are performed by all pupils. The work in chemistry is adapted to give pupils a tolerably comprehensive view of the fundamental facts of the elements of inorganic chemistry. The theoretical study and lecture table demonstrations are fully illustrated and enforced by indi- vidual laboratory work. The instruction in both physics and chemistry aims to awaken interest in scientific pursuits, and lay a good foundation for subsequent work. The thorough courses in these two branches are believed to be of greater educational value than short courses in a large number of sciences.
