largely expanded 10 >lncluue all OF the
important building trades. including
carpentry. plumbing. painting. and
others. The school will train young
men that they may follow any one OF
these trades, or. where they desire.
will give them instruction in all that
they may become contractors or build
ing superintendent. Not only will
they do practical work in the school,
but will earn their way in large part
by work done on homes and buildings
in Indianapolis.
Much preparation has been made FOR
opening the School for Machinists. the
equipment given by members of the
National Metal Trades Association
making q very large and complete
workshop. 1t will give instruction in
machine, floor and wise work, in die
and tool making. An arrangement has
been made under which the work OF
the students will be done for CONNER
cial concerns, and the boys will earn
enough almost to pay their own way.
The School for Iron Moulders, estab-
lished by the National Founders Asso-
citation to make up the shortage OF
% to so per cent in skilled workmen
in the foundries Of the country. has
been hiEh..y successful The school
plant Is . big foundry in itself. where
the boys not only learn the trade. but
make good wages while doing SO. The
instruction begins at the beginning of
the trade. and when a student finishes
the schooling. he is ready for a per-
manent place In commercial foundry,
with many places OF employment open
to him. The school occupies a $4,000
building Of brick and steel. which was
built for the purposes of the depart

A department Of the Institute that is
in immediate prospect is school for
training hotel stewards and chefs, and
it is being promoted by the National
Stewards Association. This organiza-
ton Is raising fund Of 5000. 900 with
which. to erect and equip a large build
ing on the institute grounds. where 1t
will train stewards and other heads of
departments for the hotels Of the
United States. Good progress has
been made with this project and the
cornerstone of the building will prob
ably be laid this fall.
The Institute is broadly philanthropy
ic. It was not founded, for the purpose
Of paying dividends to the men who
have pushed its cause, but 1t is doing
a unique work, one that is far-reaching
in its effects It is more In the order

but bends it's energies to the end q
helping young men help themselves.
There is every indication that as the
manufacturing interests OF the United
States expand trade schools on the
order Of Winnna Technical 1nstitut
will grow largely in enrolment an.
will year after year prove their Wort
to the young men who receive Their
instruction in such a school and to the
business men and associations VINO

it is q pioneer in this field Of educa-
ticn, setting an example for similar
schools to follow. the signs indicate
that coming years will develop the
Winona Institute into one OF the won.
