Omar Day Writes About His Work In Manual Training.

Omar Day, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Day, of Rensselaer, who is instructor in Manual Training School in Indianapolis, writes interestingly of his work to his parents. His department includes gasoline engine and automobile repairing and construction work and is something entirely qew in manual training and there are no text books as a guide and consequently it is up to the instructor’s initiative to keep up interest and make the instruction thorough and practical. Soon automobiles will actually be repaired in the instruction work for which the preliminary instruction in repairs to engines and parts will qualify the sixteen young men in the class. Mr. Day is very much pleiased with his work and his owfn training as a graduate of Purdue and with several years of practical experienre in large concerns should make him one of the most valuable instructors in the Manual Training School.
