Separate or Combined Shops. -There is a question in the minds 

 of many about what is the most desirable way of housing, in a 

 school plant, the equipment required for instruction in farm shop 

 work. With this thought in mind, the supervisors were asked 

 whether, in the light of their experience, they favored having this 

 equipment in one shop or whether they preferred separate rooms 

 for different materials such as wood, concrete and steel. Their 

 answers are shown in Figure 20. The result of the inquiry is not 

 at all conclusive. All of the shops in the agricultural schools of 

 the state are at present so arranged that work in wood is given in 

 rooms separate from those in which forge practice is taught.
