12. 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. Clarke's Building Superintendence is carefully read with daily recitations; Lectures on Building Law; Bower's Specifications. Usual methods of measurements of material and work, 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. In specifications, practice is obtained by writing out complete sets for buildings. Dietzgcn's Specification Blanks are employed. The standard Contract of the American Institute of Architects is used, being first carefully studied, then filled out for buildings. Bids, certificates, and other papers are made out.
