have manual training schools teach

have day and night schools for
textile workers located in several
of the New England states. We
have evening schools for carpen-

tiers, etc., in such cities as Boston,
Springfield, Hartford and Provi-

+ to say just in what manner indus
!. trial education would be beneficial
. to them; but during the past foul
: years I have fortunately had the
opportunity of learning some Of
the different branches of shoe
!, making, and to the young man
who intends to follow shoemaking,
as business, I believe that the
trade school for shoe workers would
, prove of immense benefit to him.
Little opportunity is given to
young men to learn the art of
shoemaking, owing to the posi-
ton taken by the unions in
regard to apprentices. The num-
Der of apprentices for given de-
partment is limited by the by
laws of the union, and as some of
these factories are closed shops,
these bylaws are decidedly ef-
fectlve.
This feature is still less COM
mendable when it is remembered
that a young man who secures an
apprenticeship in the lasting de-
partment and desires to change to
the cutting department after he
has learned lasting, would still be
under the same restrictions as
when serving his apprenticeship
in the lasting department. It is
doubtful if under this system a
young man will pass from depart
ment to department and ever
reach the point where he can make
the whole shoe.
Today the shoe industry is diff
ferentiated into number of allied
industries, such as patternmaking,
lastmaking, shoe machinery, shoe
tixings and materials. Instead of |
taking measurements of the human
foot, forming the lasts from these
measurements, cutting the pat
terms, cutting out the stock from
these patterns, stitching and fit
ting these parts, lasting, ETC., the
worker now simply assemblies the
leather parts. Instead of making
the whole shoe, the worker per-
forms only one of the one hundred
or more operations.
The shoe industry has reached
such point of economic develop
ment that it would seem at first
glance that to increase the tech
nical knowledge of the worker,
who performs one of the one hun
dred or more operations that is
necessary to complete the shoe,
would be profitable to him. as he
could not apply it to his particu-
lar portion of the shoemaking
craft. But this is not necessarily
80, for the worker who is familiar .
with more than one operation will
always find a demand for his
services.

The latest method Of lasting a
shoe is by the consolidated, hand
method lasting machine,s better
known as the "nigger-head." This
machine is almost human in its
actions; an iron finger or pincher
reaches out, clutches the leather
and draws it up and over the last.
A tack is automatically driven in.
to the last thru the leather; the
operator holding the last with the
leather roughly tackled on, guides
it while this automatic reaching
out of the pincher and lacking is
repeated until the leather is all
drawn over and tackled onto the
last. The whole operation involves
but few seconds. Hours of labor
are saved by the use of one of
these machines, as a good opera
tor can turn out from three hun
dred and fifty to four hundred
pairs Of shoes a day. The makers
Of these machines claim that the
shoes are lasted just as good as if
they were lasted by hand; some
claim that this is not SO. The
student of technical education
quickly recognize which of these
two assertions is correct.
The young man who enters a
factory in one department and
like a machine in that department
follows that one line of work alone
without going further along the
lines of shoemaking, could hardly
be expected to become proficient
manager capable of taking charge
of all departments. He must be-
come to a certain extent familiar
with the one hundred or more
operations that go to make the
shoe. He must become versed in
the merits and dement's of the
finished product. Few men are
willing-perhaps few are able-to
follow on in the factory one opera
ion after another, from the cut
;ing-room to the finishing-room,
or reverse the order and go from
he fnishing-room to the lasting
Dom. This move on the part of
my young man would mean years
# Improbable toll. But would it
lot pay one to do this? If one
'ould afford the time it would un-

While the preceding statements
hould serve as a basis for intro
lucing any young man to study
hoemaking from start to finish,
here are many others that may be
ermed technical ones. It ought
. be proper to assume that every
,orker, no matter how small a
art he may have in the making
f product, should have some
nowledge of the operations i'm
lediately preceding and succeed

Let us examine some of the diff

NOVEL SNOW CONTRACTS.
City to Pay Hereafter for amount
RemoUed Only, Says Benset.

Commissioner Bensel of the Street Cleaning
Department has decided to recommend ne"
method of contracting for the removal of snow.
In the future the contractor will be paid by
the amount of snow actually removed instead OF
by the snowfall, as has been the method in the
past.
The old way of contracting for the snow
removal" said DR. Bensel yesterday. STRIKES
me as being unbusinesslike There no in
centive for the contractor to do quick work, ana
it was natural that he should wait long as
possible, taking into account the danger of being
penalized, before doing the work. If the stipu-
lated amount of fell and followed at
by a heavy ranstorm, the contractor could
collect the charge for removing the snow, al
though no work at all might have been done.
Now he will make every effort to get the snow
off the ground quickly possible, as his
profit will depend upon the work done"
Commissioner Bense decided yesterday to go
into the business OF selling ashes, and the de-
partment will hereafter carry on that business
at 10 cents cubic yard. DR. Bensel thinks this
is better than giving them away, and a Gus
toner was found yesterday for a considerable
amount at this price
