Nambour Rural School.
Blacksmithing Class.
The blacksmithing shop at the Rural School is nearing completion. On Monday “our plumbers” put on the roof, under Mr. Stewart’s supervision. The building is situated under the camphor laurels, at the back of the workshops; no “spreading chestnut tree” was available. Nearly all the equipment for teaching blacksmithing is on the premises, and soon you will hear the rural boys “swing the heavy sledge with measured beat and slow”. The classes will be in charge of Mr. Donald; and lads who work with a will may be sure of receiving careful instruction in this old and honourable art.
