 'Manual dexterity is but the evidence of a certain kind of mental power."W0ODWARD 
 
 TESTING RESULTS IN MACHINE WORK 
 
THE MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT is merely 
 one branch of the very full course of study which is 
 offered at the Tome School. Few of the preparatory 
 schools are able to give to their students work in this subject, 
 although there is a genuine and widespread interest in courses 
 which include manual training. It is omitted from many of 
 the school curricula because of the pressure of other subjects, 
 and because its proper presentation demands extensive shops 
 and complete machinery. Manual training has a permanent 
 place in the curricula of elementary and secondary schools, 
 and the Tome School is in accord with the best and most 
 advanced educational methods in offering courses in this 
 subject to its students. Manual training is one of the 
 most valuable means of helping boys who are gifted with 
 mechanical ability to "find themselves." The stimulus 
 which is received from such work often communicates itself 
 to other activities, so that the success of a boy in manual 
 training not infrequently brings with it improvement in all 
 his scholastic work.

 ATTRACTIVE PROBLEMS IN BENCH WORK 
 
Manual Training is especially useful to boys who expect 
 to make some form of engineering their life work. It is 
 recognized as an essential factor in the education of engin- 
 eers, and boys who have been enrolled in Manual Training 
 courses at the Tome School and have been graduated, have 
 taken high rank at Cornell, Massachusetts Institute of 
 Technology, Lehigh, University of Pennsylvania, Univer- 
 sity of Maine and University of Wisconsin. Many others 
 have gone directly into manufactures. 
 
 The Tome School offers courses in Manual Training 
 through six years of the school work. It is a required 
 subject in Forms I and II and elective thereafter. Espe- 
 cially strong courses are offered in Forms V and VI. 
 
 Drawing rooms and shops are fully equipped with tools 
 and machinery of the highest grade in a sufficient quantity 
 to allow of special problems in elementary engineering to 
 be undertaken in fifth and sixth year courses. A corps of 
 trained specialists in manual training subjects is in charge 
 
"We must have a basis for our higher accomplishments, our delicate entertainments of 
 poetry and philosophy, in the work of our hands." — Emerson

of the instruction, so that it is possible to give individual 
 attention to each boy enrolled in any shop course. 
 
 The Manual Training Department is furnished with eight 
 large rooms for instruction purposes, supply- rooms, and store- 
 rooms. Equipment has been provided liberally, and includes 
 twenty-four adjustable work tables for elementary work, 
 each fully supplied with small tools ; twenty-four maple 
 work benches, each supplied with saw, planes, marking- 
 gauge, square, chisel, mallet, rule, and dividers ; a tool- 
 room, and a supply of tools ; twenty speed lathes ; twenty 
 horse-power electric motor, cross-cut saws, band saws, emery 
 tool grinders, bench trimmer, power blast and exhaust forges 
 with forging tools, vises, files, cold chisels ; calipers, squares, 
 etc. ; ten nine-inch engine lathes, a thirteen-inch engine lathe, 
 three drill presses, two shapers, tool grinder, two milling 
 machines, and a complement of small machine tools ; forty- 
 eight adjustable drawing- tables, drawing-instruments, detail 
 tables models, etc. 
 
"Today the school and the college, though not yet emancipated from the past, are slowly 
 learning the importance of a knowledge of things, as well as of words."— McNeill

' The education of the hand is the means of more completely and efficaciously 
 educating- the brain."— Jacobson

"The boy who follows an idea to a finality and produces something, is in every sense a creator, 
 and it gives him a consciousness of power which can never be effaced." — Bates
