Second (sophomore) year: Physics Textbook, Carhart & Chute's First Principles of Physics; properties of matter; Newton's laws of motion; mechanics of solids; forces, resultants, velocity, gravity, weight, falling bodies; equilibrium; stability; circular motion; work and energy, power, machines, levers, wheel and axle; inclined plane; fluids and gases; heat-measuring instruments; sound-character, reenforcing mediums; light-nature and propagation, photography; heat-nature and propagation; electricity and magnetism— nature and general characteristics. Third (junior) year: Applied mechanics-Textbook, Morley & Inchley's Elementary Applied Mechanics. Fourth (senior) year: Applied mechanics-Steam; textbook, Ripper's Heat Engines. Chemistry. The course is two years in length; the first year is general, taking up the phases needed principally by the mechanic; the second year is applied chemistry. Laboratory experiments are required throughout the course. Third (junior) year: Textbook, Hessler & Smith's Fundamentals of Chemistry; nature of chemistry-physical and chemical changes; elements-study of common elements and chief characteristics; acids and bases; water-steam, ice, impurities; saturation, crystallization; chlorine, bleaching; acids—sulphuric, nitric, hydrochloric; methods of manufacture, symbols and formulæ; carbon, presence and uses; electrolysis, batteries, storage, etc.; copper sulphate and plating; mercury-study of uses and properties of. Fourth (senior) year: Analysis, iron, etc.,; milk, coal, etc.; soap manufacturing, dyeing, etc.; sizing, glues, color matter, test paints; gas manufacture; commercial processes of manufacture of acids, etc.; hardening and tempering compounds; cyanide properties; electric furnaces, gas furnaces. Drawing. Drawing is the sign language of the mechanic, and particular stress is therefore laid on free-hand work throughout the four years of the course. First year: First half-Free-hand sketching from plane objects as rectangular block, followed by triangular and stepped blocks, then cone, etc., and finally simple machine parts; lettering; accurate dimensioning and plain sketches are insisted on. Second half-Free-hand sketches followed by mechanical drawing. Second year: Machine part sketching; sectioning and mechanical drawing from sketch. Third year: Sketching and instrument drawing, assemblies; laying out curves and application of same to practical use. Fourth year: Laying out of cams, gears; inking. Mechanism. This subject aims to study and discuss actual shop problems that the boy meets in his daily work, and the texts are used as basis of discussion and broadening by showing different methods of operation. Each shop tool and operation is analyzed and discussed from various standpoints, and the different methods in vogue in various shops are described by the students for the benefit of their fellows. The International Textbook Co.'s texts are used in pamphlet form. Catalogues of various manufacturing and trade journals are also used. Second (sophomore) year: Lathe work; drilling and boring; application to shopwork; discussion of shop problems; planer work; bench and vise work; shop catalogues, etc. Third (junior) year: Milling machines; boring mills; slotters; grinders; special machines; precision measurements; materials of construction; treatment of low-carbon steel; iron forging; hardening and tempering. Fourth year: Jig design. Civics and American history.—These are essential to good citizenship, and a careful study of the city, State, and National Government is necessary for intelligent and progressive work. The course is given in the second year. First aid to the injured.-There is no place where accidents are more likely to happen than in the shop, and some knowledge of how to care properly for an injured man is a valuable asset to the mechanic. This instruction is in the third year. Business methods.-General office work and the study of the organization of shop systems, including receiving materials, laying out work, tagging, inspecting and routing work through the shop, are subjects that have a place in the course and are fourth-year work. Commercial geography.—The source of supply of the raw materials at various industries, preparation, and methods of transportation, cost of materials, railway systems, and waterways are included. This is fourth-year work also. English. A knowledge of good English is most important, for by its use as a vehicle to convey his thoughts he gives expression to his aims, ideals, qualifications, etc., when conversing with others. By its use one procures a job, gives orders, and expresses his personality; and by reading one extends his knowledge of affairs and broadens his mental and æsthetic horizon. The aim, therefore, of this course is not only to cultivate a taste for good reading, but also to give |
