19. Individual Tools. The individual plane-iron is not absolutely necessary. It is very desirable since the plane is in constant use. To make use of the same irons class after class is unjust to the good worker. He will spend a good part of the period getting his iron in condition only to find when he comes again the next week that it all has to be done over again. It puts a premium on slovenliness. True, the same argument holds for the chisels, and it would be well if individual chisels could be provided. The chisel is not used nearly so much as the plane-iron and can, therefore, be used in common much better than the plane-iron.

No machinery for cutting up stock, is included in the estimate. In most cities the high school machinery can be used for this purpose. According to the course outlined, there will be little stock cutting by machinery required. What little there is might well be done as "busy work" by the more rapid workers thruout the year. Such stock could be stored away until needed.
