For this a thorough knowledge of scientific principles applied to building, ability and correct taste in design, and a technical knowledge of the various building trades, with skill in the use of tools, are necessary, and are prominent objects of the course of instruction. The course embraces the knowledge of the theory and principles of construction and of the ordinary routine work of office practice, so far as these can be taught in a technical school. The technical instruction is given chiefly by lectures, with reference to text books, and is illustrated by sketches, engravings, photographs and models; practical applications are immediately made by the student. Drawing is practiced throughout the course, and, as far as possible, original work is executed. Drawing from casts and modeling in clay give facility in sketching details and correct knowledge of form. I n shop practice, joints in carpentry and joinery, cabinet making, turning, metal and stone work, are executed; also models at reduced scale of roof and bridge trusses, ceilings, domes and stairs. TECHNICAL STUDIES. Elements of Drawing.—Lectures; designs, for specified problems; outline sketches and finished drawings from casts in pencil, crayon and charcoal.
