To the Patrons of the San Antonio Traction Co.
We wish to again call your attention to the regulations necessary to the proper /Ose of these cars. It is essential that it become
customary with you-to use these cars according to the demands of the P-A-Y-E system.
With these precautions carefully observed the new system will work out to the increased comfort of all. Users of the San
Pedro-Army Post line have accustomed themselves to the new cars with ease. We’ trust that patrons of the Beacon Hill and
Nolan St. line will likewise find the Pay-as-you-enter system convenient. Please keep in mind the method of boarding and leaving
these cars and the regulations it is necessary to follow while on them and the system will be a success.

Useful Work That Is Real Sport
The Function of Modern Pedagogy as Practiced in the
Manual Training Department of Brackenridge High
School Is to Train the Boys So That They En-
joy Making Practical Articles for the Home.
Hammer hammer hammer; raw
saw; plane plane plane—busily
worked the boys in the manual train-
ing department of the Brackenridge
High school during the three weekly
ninety-minute periods all through the
paat school year. Their hammering
and Rawing and planing tinder the
able and original instruction of Adolph
Uhr director of manual training in
the school has resulted In the mak-
ing of between thirty and forty use-
ful pieces of furniture.
Practical usefulness was the key-
note of the instruction in manual
training given this year and this is
the way it was attained. Instead of
compelling the boy to make a paper
knife that he didn't want or a foot-
stool for the members of his long-
auffering family to fall over just be-
cause these were suitable exercises tn
the use of tools and were prescribed
by the course of study the instructor
encouraged the boys to design and
construct something that he really
wanted or something of use to some
member of his family.
When Work Is Sport.
The boys found It great sport. Who
would do something because he had
to. when he could do something be-
cause he wanted to? But if the things
he had to do were carefully concealed
In the things he wanted to do —well
that made a difference. Therein lay
the sport and also the success of the
past year’s manual training work. The
boys made what was useful and Mr.
Uhr gave the necessary theory and
Instruction Incidentally and as the
occasion demanded.
Suppose a boy wanted to make a
desk a cabinet a chest of drawers
or any other piece of furniture to
meet a need at home. If he had prof-
ited by the Inatructlon he had already
received and was willing to work hard
under continued Instruction this fur-
niture could be his the only expense
attached to It being the cost of the
rnw material that was supplied by
the achool board.
In the construction of this piece of
furniture the interested boy did real
cabinet makers' work. Everything
was done by hand there being no ma-

chines in the school except u grind-
stone. He also carried out his own
'•leas though under direction from
the first mechanical drawing and pro-
portioning to the scraping and polish
ins; xarnishlng and tinishiug.
Many of these pieces that xrere
made last year are excellent in de-
sign and execution the case made by
"ran Lynn and the desk by William
McCullough being especial examples
of what was done.
Has Adopted New Methods.
Mr. Uhr has been able to carry on
this work successfully by cutting loose
from the method generally followed
by manual training teachers. Instead
of spending a great deal of time in
theory and the making of miniature ■ i
articles he planned these articles of
normal size and gave most of the In-
struction Incidentally. The boys were
so interested in the work that they
came on aSturday whenever Mr. Uhr
could give them the time.
“I have outlined my own work.'*
said Mr. Uhr. “according to the needs
of the children my theory being that
only ‘he practical Is educational. The
more us«'ul the work to the boy and
his home the more interesting and
practical It .’s. While the usual method
of Instruction Is the teaching of theory
and the use of :ools I have tried to
combine theory the use of tools and
practical work into the making of use-
ful articles."
That this effort has met with suc-
cess is shown by the work done by
the children and the Interest manifest-
ed by them. Members of the Carpen- i
ters' Union Inspected the work Mid
were very much pleased with the re-
sults.
