Superintendence, Estimates, and Specifications.—This study comprises several specialties in office work, not otherwise provided for, so far as they can be taught in a professional school. Onethird the time is devoted to superintendence, one-half to estimates, and the remainder to specifications, contracts, etc. Text book in superintendence is Clark's Building Superintendence, which is carefully read with daily recitations. In estimates, the purpose of the instruction is to impart a knowledge of the usual methods of measurement 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, cubing, of units, and of quantities, are each employed and illustrated by numerous examples. In Specifications, practice is obtained by writing out a complete set for a house, drawings for which have been previously made by the student. Groves' Specification Blanks are employed. The standard Contract of the American Institute of Architects is used, being first carefully studied, then filled ou-. for the same house. Bids, certificates, etc., are also prepared.
