Manual Training at
Crook County High
The Mnnuul Training Department
In Crook County High School Is one
of Iho moot Interesting and bent
attended departments of the Insti
tution. I'rof. J. W. Smith, In
charge of the department, knowi
hli business thoroughly and hi fine
conscientious workmanship, coupled
with his sterling character,
makes him a good model for the
boyi, both aa regard hit handi
craft and hla quulitiea of fair
minded citizenship.
The department hai turned out
many pieces of good work, all
practical, uncful articled of trade.
The writer v lulled the department
and found the boya busy and great
ly interested In their work. In dis
cussing Die matter with Mr, Smith
he gnye the following facta about
the work In hia department:
"The purpose of the course In
Manuul Training la to develop the
individual from a two-fold stand
point. The mind la trained to ac
curate and careful observation,
and the hand to skillful and rapid
execution.
The first year's work la equally
divided between bench work in
wood and mechanical drawing. In
drawing each student la furnished
with a aet of drafting inatrumenta
for which he la held responsible. A
set of 20 plates is required, con
sisting of (a) problems In geomet
rical drawing, (b) orthographic pro
jections, (c) working drawings to
scale of woodwork exerciaea and
models, (d) Isometric projections,
and (e) perspective drawing.
In woodwork, the first semester
,is occupied arith Instructions In the
cure, sharpening and use of tools,
and in working out a series of ex
ercises to develop accuracy of
workmanship. During the second
semester, each student moat build
at least one approved piece of mis
sion furniture. Usually some
special work for the school Is ac
compliahet! by the class, as the
building of work benches, Btools or
drawing tables.
' This year for the first time an
advanced class of Manual Training
has been organized with the pur
pose of mastering the general prin
ciples of building construction.
Two days a week are spent in
architectural drawing to cover
plans of houses and farm buildings.
One duy Is occupied in recitation
from King'a Constructive Carpentry
and the last two days of each week
are devoted to actual construction
of some form of building. Models
of various parts of buildings with
full size materials, models of com
plete buildings on a small, scale and
possibly the actual construction of
some building on the campus will
be the plan for the year. In addi
tion to this tome practice la given
in the use of the turning lathe and
band aaw, the only pieces of machin
ery at present Included In the
equipment.

Over fifty pupils are enrolled In
the three classes in physical geog
raphy. About forty were enrolled
at the beginning of the year and
with the entrance of the new fresh
men class at the beginning of the

casional experiments are performed
before the class to demonstrate
some principle or phenomenon, the
account of which must be written
up In the pupil's note book. Field
trips will be planned and the class
required to observe the effect of the
natural forces and write complete
accounts. Weather observations
will also be made and charts
studied.
Betas
Only eight have been enrolled In
botany, but the class has been do
ing excellent work. The text
studied is especially well adapted to
the correlation of the subject with
agriculture and no opportunity Is
neglected of showing the practical
application of the principles in
volved. Since the school lacks
laboratory equipment only a limited
amount of laboratory work is done;
but aa compensation for this more
work will be done with systematic
botany. A study of the native
flowers will be made and a collec
tion of 25 specimens of the local
wild flowers are required to be col
lected and classified-"

of work, Crook County High School
is the pi ao for you.

Ed. Journal: A little more than a
year ago Win. McCoy migrated from
Washington to the Hny Creek valley.
Soon It was learned that Mr. McCoy
was originally from Kentucky. Then
the Hatfield McCoy war was remem
bered uud for a time It was feared
that McCoy would prove an unde
sirable citizen. But McCoy got busy
and built him a pretty good house.
"Where Is your place, McCoy?"
asked a friend.
"Over on Haycreek," said he. "I'm
not sure whether It Is In the United
States or Canada. There Is no school
nor mall service, and that Is not
common In the United States, but
Uncle 8am has got to locate me'" So
he saddled his pony and In two days
had a petition ready to send In for a
mall route from Madras to Hay
creek, which has been granted by the
deportment. Re Is now digging for
a dally mall service between Gate
way and Haycreek with good pros
pects. He la also working for a
school In the lower Haycreek valley,
which baa aome 20 neglected school
children.
"How are school prospects?" Mr.
McCoy was asked. "They will come
through or from ten to fifteen chil
dren will go to school in Portland
this winter at the expense of Crook
county," said he.
Now we don't know how big a gun
Mr. McCoy used In the Hatfield Mc
Coy feud, but he is a flame of energy
and right up to the minute. So give
us more McCoys from Kentucky.
There Is lots of room for them In
Crook couuty. Kkportrk.
