If he takes the mechanical course, he studies the science which underlies the manufacture of wood and metals, and devotes one hour each day to the practice of the art. In addition, he studies the philosophy of the machine, learns to draw and prepare plans for work in wood or metal, and in the machineshops gets the rudiments of the art of its manufacture.
