GOING INTO BUSINESS
PROBLEM FOR YOUTHS

one of the big problems bothering
a great many American young men,
soon to be graduated from colleges
and schools is as TO how they can get
start in some line of manufacturing.
This is perhaps the opportunity that
looks most attractive TO the bulk Of
our business beginners.
Some thoughts on this question
were presented the past week TO the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers, by committee on industrial
education. The committee urged that
rich mems boys and poor mems boys
should be trained at the same school
in basic process of manufacture.
A great many ambitious young men
take jobs at Office work. They nAy
spend years in debating letters, re-
ceiving and shipping orders. keeping
books. and passing on credits. And
after they have spent the first flush
of their younger manhood they may
have but a superficial knowledge Of
the processes of making the goods.
They might be able to run a busi-
ness, if these processes continued the
same year after year. But fashions
of manufacture change fast The office
trained man is incapable of adapting
himself TO these changes and his sub
ordinates take advantage of his ig
horance.
The thoroughly trained factory
manager should be able 10 go into the
mill and perform any process him.
self, at least well enough so he can
know when an employe does il skill
fully and effectively. But the men
who have worked at the bench usually
know only a very few processes and
lack broad business training, and
those who have had broad education
are helpless when they see tool or
machine.
The work at the bench comes clos
er TO the heart of a business than any
function performed with clean hands
in an office. AS time goes on there
will be more trade schools, as sug-
gested by the manufacturers commit
tee referred toabove, where young
men can acquire general technical
knowledge without doing some rou-
tine thing over and over again for
years.
