By this time the student will be very well advanced and can de-vote himself almost entirely to designing and free-hand drawingand sketching. A knowledge of these subjects makes designingeasy, as a facile pencil facilitates ideas and will prove of immensevalue to a draftsman in more ways than The Course in Architecture. This course is complete in that it comprises all the subjects, bothpractical and artistic, necessary to make a thoroughly equippedarchitect. A preliminary training, such as one would get in the averagehigh school, is essential, and is provided for in the course. A knowledge of the elementary studies, such as Arithmetic,Geometry, Trigonometry, and the simpler forms of Algebraicalformulas. Physics, History, etc., is given as a ground-work uponwhich to build a thorough knowledge of the profession. Begin-ning with mechanical drawing and the theory of projection, shadesand shadows, the student is introduced to architecture proper by asludy of the five orders of Classical Architecture. Each order will be carefully drawn and the various proportionsstudied. Order of Subjects. Architectural History will be begun and will be continuedthrough the course. Free-hand drawing will go hand in handwith the more precise mechanical dra
