The recent action of the Board OF
Education in deciding to give full
credit to any pupil leaving school to
engage in any Governmental activity
occasioned by the war, no doubt,
school officials say. will encourage
numbers OF students to sign the cards.
There are about ] 200 students at
the school. a large percentage Of
them being particularly fitted for
special work.
Other Pupils Organize.
n conformity with the recent De-
partment OF Labor project to recruit
the boy power" of the country to aid
in agricultural or Industrial pursuits.
about seventy-five boys at Mckinley
Training School and a like number at
Central High School have signified
their intention OF aiding in any way
possible.
Three companies OF twenty-five boys
each have been formed at Tech IL
IL believed by rank c. Daniel, prin-
cipal, that the boys can be particular
" valuable in the shipyards or some
pursuit where mechanical skill is re-
quired.
The boys at Central, not having as
much manual training work as those
at Tech" will probably be more val
liable in agricultural work.
