Excerpt from The Tamarack, Vol. 4: May, 1913
The shop is an intensely practical place. The buzz of saws, the hammering of nails, the busy, overall-clad boys, would easily lead one to imagine he were in the shops of a manufacturing concern rather than in a high school classroom. Indeed, in many respects it is a queer classroom. In place of dictionaries and grammars, it has lathes, bandsaws, joiners, sanding machines and grinders; instead of paper and pencils it has lumber and nails; for the traditional schoolmarm it has a teacher working side by side with the students.
