GOING AHEAD
Mechanical Drawing Class
Making Progress
A few have thus far availed them
selves of the opportunity that is offered
in the free eight school in mechanical
drawing which has been open at
the annex of the Methodist church for
several weeks. The aim of the school
is to prepare the men for independent
work in mechanical v drawing, and thus
open up before them an opportunity for j
advancement which without the know j
ledge would be impossible. The course
begins with gtometive drawing of
problems which are likely to arise in I
every day work of the mechanic, then j
enters the elements of mechanical;
drawing proper, going a> high as time ]
will permit after the essentials have
been covered. One of the features
later in the course will be practice
sketching from macliiuery and making .
exact drawings from the notes as ob.
tained. The instruction is individual, j
thus permitting work commensurate j
with the ability and drawing advance
ment of each one. The school was in
augurated to meet ? demand for in
struction of that kind, and is meeting
with the approval of Foreman Weber
of the shops, as well as of many of the,
men who have thus far been unable to j
take advantage of the course.
The cost includes only the actual
running expenses, ami for the purpose
of reducing these expenses to a rnimi
mum, the annex of the Methodist
church Is used. It is large and well
suited for the purpose. Any man is in
vited to become a member of the school.
The instruction in this school isgiven
free by the Kev. J. W. Glenk, who has
had much experience both as a teacher
of mechanical drawing and as a practical
draughtsman. Mr. Glenk is doing the
work as a labor of love out of a desire to
help those who are willing to help
themselves
Not only is Mr. Glcnk devoting "each
Tuesday evening to this work, but he
says, if the demand for it offers, he will
take up other branches and give in
struction in them.
Mr. Clenk has had experience as an
instructoi in both public schools and
universities.

the certain and sate remedy, Doan's
Kidney Pills.

trouble with my kidneya for a year or
more. My back bothered me with sore,
irritating pain. Doan's Kidney Pills
were recommended to me and I got a
box. I commenced to use them as di
rected and to my surprise when I hi d
taken about half the box the pain left
