The mere fact that many of our boys enter upon some form of industrial trade activity after graduation would seem sufficient reason for offering a wider scope of in- dustrial arts training. I feel that if the following plan of development could be followed for a while that the benefits to our pupils would be well worth the invest- ment.
The essence of the plan would be to purchase needed equipment for the shop a little at a time with the idea of developing our woodworking department to a point where it can offer most of the basic experiences neces- sary in a well rounded try-out course. Many boys find out that they have ability along that line and ulti- mately enter the woodworking trades. This department of our shop needs some hand tools such as; bit braces, small diameter drills, 10" screwdrivers, assorted files and rasps, keyhole saws, back saws, try squares, small framing squares, marking guages and expansive bits.

The metal working activity which has proved both in- teresting and practical needs a smaller amount of basic hand equipment as well. Many boys who do not do well in woodworking find that they are quite capable of do- ing good work in metal. Concerned with both wood and metalworking is the drafting department where boys design, plan and draw their own projects. This type of activity is preferred by other boys who demonstrate their ability along this line. These two other depart- ments would also be gradually developed along the lines of the plan which follow.
The following are my recommendations for the fu- ture development of the shop facilities in our school system :
First; A power jointer of the portable type is badly needed at the present time. This is an essential piece of basic equipment for all woodworking jobs and its purchase will allow many of the more advanced pupils to do work of a more technical kind.
Second; Purchase of the above mentioned woodwork- ing hand and bench tools which at present are very few in number or missing altogether.
Third; The following power machines should be pur- chased piece by piece and added to the present power equipment of the shop. If one or two such machines could be obtained each year over a period of several years our shop machinery would be such that many more students would receive the advantages of machine- tool operation training which is always a valuable asset in any industrial activity: Band saw, wood turning lathe, machine lathe, electric hand drill, power jig saw, planer, drill press, metal power saw, electric hardening furnace and an acetylene welding torch.
Fourth; Small amounts of hand and bench tools which are necessary in metalworking and drafting should be added each year to the present tool kit for these two departments. Most of the common bench equipment necessary for an elementary study of electricity and plastics will be found within the scope of the metal and woodworking tool supplies and these studies can be offered to pupils who show an aptitude for them in preference to the main courses.
The above plan of development may seem to be quite extensive but if a small portion of it could be accomp- lished each year the cost would not exceed $250.00 for
i

any given year. This would represent an investment of about $1.75 per pupil during the developmental years. The educational and vocational return for such an in- vestment will well repay the initial cost to the town by providing many interesting and valuable experiences of a practical nature to pupils of our schools.
In closing I wish to thank you, Dr. Newman, as well as the members of the school committee, and Mr. Landy, for your splendid cooperation during the past year.
