MANUAL TRAINING.

ROBERT J. LEONARD, Supervisor of Manual Training, Berkeley Schools.

The courses in Manual Training are planned to meet the needs of the following classes:

1. Teachers in graded or country schools who desire to teach handwork in its various forms, but have never had sufficient training to do so intelligently.

2. Superintendents and Principals who desire to gain a working knowledge of handwork and its relation to the school curriculum.

3. Supervisors and Special Manual Training Teachers who desire to strengthen their work along certain lines.

In all courses frequent discussion will be conducted relative to the educational and industrial phases of Manual Training.

Classes meet in the Manual Arts Building of the McKinley School, on Haste street, near Telegraph avenue, a distance of four blocks from the campus. The wood-working room is well equipped with all necessary tools and benches. The laboratory fee in each course is $3.50.

HORTICULTURE.

ERNEST BROWN BABCOCK, B.S., Assistant Professor of Plant Pathology.

The rapidly increasing demand for the introduction of elementary agriculture into the schools, both secondary and elementary, calls for the earnest coöperation of all available agencies by which teachers may be adequately prepared to give instruction in this subject. The great scope of subject matter presented by agriculture in its broader sense affords such a variety of topics that undirected individual effort on the part of schools is likely to result in confusion and dissatisfaction. It is for this reason that the University has proposed a course in horticulture, such as, it is hoped, may soon be introduced into many of our high schools.

The following courses are offered in the belief that they will be of value to teachers who wish to introduce such a course into the high school in the near future, as well as to elementary school teachers who desire to enrich their exposition of a required elementary text in agriculture or to make a successful beginning in school gardening.

Other courses of interest to students of this subject will be found in the department of Botany. See page 52.
