Manual Training Pupils

Find Satisfaction in ~~ Patriotic Work.

By Science Service NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—Prior to America’s entry into the war, manual training teachers in our public and private schools taught students how to meke tie-racks, book ends and waste paper.baskets. Here and there, more advanced workers made desks, tables or even rowboats.

Then came the requests from the}

U. S. army and navy for thousands of small, solid scale models of airplanes which were to be used for

education and identification pur-| -

poses. The naval program was administered through the school systems. The army program called upon volunteer workers to apply their model-making skills to the production of needed wooden miniatures. Overnight, manual training in the school systems was. transformed from. the making of gadgets to the building of units vitally helpful toward America’s war effort. : Even hobbyists, who once “toyed” with building flying models, sud-

denly discovered that their skills|@es

were “in ‘demand. Our air forces

needed them as fliers or instructors; others not available for military

service modified their home work-{js programs to the extent that

shop model airplane building has become the outstanding effort.

Skill Is Demanded

From an educational standpoint, the building of model airplanes de-

mands all of the skill heretofore]!

displayed in the construction of book ends, tie-racks or waste paper baskets. In fact, the hand work necessary is much greater; the work develops a dexterity acquired only in specialized wood-carving courses. Inasmuch as it is essential that models be built truly to scale, blue-

print reading training automatically

follows, because the builder must

follow precisely the diagrams. It is;

necessary also that the wood parts be carefully sanded and that they be glued together. Here two other workshop methods are brought into play. The demand for conservation of our national resources is ideally met by a model building activity. Much

less lumber is needed for the pro-|’

duction of each item. Thus, one of the. small completed hard-wood models such as a P-40 or a P-39 plane weighs approximately half an ounce when finished; a large bomber weighs only seven ounces.
