study comprises several specialties in office work, not otherwise provided for, so far as they can be taught in a professional school. Clarke's Building Superintendence and Clarke's Architect, Owner, and Builder before the Laiv, are carefully read with daily recitations. In estimates the purpose of the instruction is to impart a knowledge of the usual methods of measurements of materials and work, the arrangement of computations in proper and convenient order, and an acquaintance with approximate prices of materials and labor, which vary in different localities. The methods of squaring, of cubing, of units, and of quantities, are each employed and illustrated by numerous examples.
