INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
Americans may take pride and encouragement from the speedy, effective ' manner in which its technical school plant has leaped into the training of mechanics, says the Christian Science Monitor. With classes running far into these summer nights, the nations 1053 trade schools are polishing up the skills of the long idle mechanics, or giving instruction in shop methods to inexperienced youths, and thereby to meet the need -for skilled tool workers. No sooner had the defence need become known than Mr John W. Studebaker, United States Commissioner of Education, asked for a vote of £5,000,000 to pay salaries and ( expenses of running these schools through the summer. His request was approved by the President on June 27. Before summer's end it is expected that some 150,000 men will have been put through a 10-weeks' course. By night and summer operation, it is estimated that tlie normal daytime output of 750,000 men a year can be stepped up by 500.000, giving a yearly total of 1,250,000.
