12. SUPERINTENDENCE, ESTIMATES, AND SPECIFICATIONS.—This

study comprises several specialties not otherwise provided for, so far as they can be taught in a professional school. The subjects treated include the duties of a superintendent, his relations to architect, owner, and contractor, the method of supervising work, systems of keeping building accounts, the usual methods of measurement of materials and work, arrangement of computations in proper and convenient order, and approximate prices of material and labor, which vary in different localities. The methods of estimating by squaring, cubing, units, and quantities are each employed and illustrated by problems. A study is made of the general and special clauses of specifications and of their arrangement, as well as of methods of classifying material to facilitate writing specifications. Practice is obtained by writing several sets. Clarke's Building
