Eight instructors and the Director care for these classes. The class nights
are Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the sessions are held in the new High School
building with the exception of the plumber's class, which meets in its finely
equipped quarters in the Hardie School basement.
Requests have come for the formation of other classes, but attention will
be confined to the present list. A beginning has been made in the unit or
divided subject plan of instruction. The carpenters, for example, are taking
up framing lay-out in connection with the study of the steel square; this
will be followed by the construction of a bungalow frame on a quarter scale,
the cuts being trade by using the steel square, stair building, again using
the square, will follow this as a completion of the season's work.
Pupils are drawn from the following places: Beverly, Salem, Marblehead, Peabody,
Manchester, Danvers, Wenham, Swampscott, and Hamilton.
Later in the year I shall present a fuller report of the evening classes.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM P. TAYLOR,
Director. December 31, 1916
