Chalk Work.
The blackboard has been well called the great weapon of the modern educator; this is especially true in reference to instruction in an art dealing with lines, curves and figures.
Fig. 6.
Many a man can chalk out on a blackboard, or on a piece of sheet-iron, or on the floor, just what he wants to show, and make his meaning very plain; hence, in every workshop, and many other places, a blackboard is more than useful, and it has been said that no draughting office is complete without one.
