tools ; but by abridging a little the nurnher 

 of daily recitations and adding an hour to 

 the usual school-day, they find time for 

 drawing and tool-work. Besides the usual 

 literary training, the students are given a 

 course of tool-instruction, including carpen- 

 try, wood-turning, forging, soldering, and 

 bench and machine work in iron, for which 

 shops are conveniently fitted up, and free- 

 hand and mechanical drawing. Each pupil 

 before receiving a diploma must execute a 

 project the actual construction of a ma- 

 chine, with a full set of working drawings 

 satisfactory to the faculty. By the pecul- 

 iar course pursued, the zeal and enthusiasm 

 of the students, in all the departments of 

 the work, have been developed to a most 

 gratifying extent.
