The training-cla.s.s for children ranging from five to eleven years serves a double purpose by enabling student-teachers to put into practice the theory of professional training under supervision. For the training of youths who intend to follow a trade, there is a branch _School of Arts and Trades_ equipped with cla.s.s-rooms, workshops, mechanical and architectural drawing-rooms, and the allied branches of industry. The subjects taught are:--

Architectural Drawing.

Blacksmithing.

Cabinet-making.

Carpentry.

Cooking.

Machine-shop Practice.

Mathematics.

Mechanical Drawing.

Plumbing.

Steam Engineering.

Stenography.

Telegraphy.

Tinsmithing.

Typewriting.

Wood-carving.

There is also a night-cla.s.s for those working in the daytime who desire to extend their theoretical knowledge.

The _Nautical School_ (_vide_ p. 195), established in Spanish times, is continued with certain reforms, additions having been made to the equipment. American naval officers have undertaken its superintendence from time to time, and it is now under the direction of a civilian graduate of the United States Naval Academy. The instruction ranges from history and geography to practical seamans.h.i.+p, with all the intermediate scientific subjects. Graduates of this school obtain third-mate's certificates, and many of them are actually navigating in the waters of the Archipelago.
