Manassas is the only school of its
kind in the entire FIVE surrounding
counties, the only place where any
sort Of an industrial training is given.
The children come principally from
this section Of Virginia. where they
have often gone no further than the
fourth grade in the rural schools. In
nearly all cases this means the scant.
lest possible training-the bare be.
binnings Of the three RS. However
there are things more fundamental
thar even these which must be taught
many Of these pupils. who come from
homes where the use OF water for
cleansing purposes has never been
known. and where the simple every
day care Of their bodies is another new
lesson to learn. II is remarkable how
quickly they come to realize the value
of this lesson, and the pride with
which daily soap-scrubhed faces shine
once they know the added feeling OF
self.respect gained by the simple
medium OF soap and water.
The pupil must be fourteen to enter
the school-and may be forty. Thers
are usually about an equal number OF
boys and girls in attendance Most
of these children are too poor to pay
for their tuition and board, for which
very nominal price is asked, but this
difficulty is arranged for by Il system
of credlting the child for daily jobs
done in connection with the trade he
5 pursuing. or any necessary work to
be done about the building, in the
kitchen, laundry, or about the grounds
The trades offered the boys are car
pentry. cobbling. wheclWrighting,
blacksmithing, upholstering, and, most
important Of all for boys of that sec
tion, farming. The girls have cooking,
sewing, laundering, dairyiug, aud light
farming.

that its men on the firing line were
sending shrapnel into the enemy's
ranks three times as fast as French
machinists were making them, she
asked for the best mechanic America
could send to. its aid. The appeal
called from his job w. F. Carmody,
foreman in a Chicago adding ma
chine factory. Though he didn't
know it himself, Carmody's genius
was known to almost every mechan-
ical engineer in the country. Though
he worked through interpreters and
had many other handicaps to meet,
Carmody succeeded in revolution
izing methods in the French ma
chine shops, which he brought to
the maximum of efficiency.
