VISIT THE
TRADE SCHOOL
Director and State Trade
School Instructors Attend
Glasses In New Haven
Derive Practical Benefit From Inter
esting Meetings

Milton J. Bentley. director of the
Putnam State Trade school, and the
instructors of the various school de-
partments, went to New Haven Sat
urday morning. to attend class
meeting Of the directors and instruct
ors of the various trade schools in the
state. They go every other week and
will so continue until June, when, if
found qualified, they will receive di-
plomas for the work done So, while
the instructors are instrueting. the
are also receiving instruction.
Connecticut is the pioneer trade
school state. and it is endeavoring to
put this department of its education
al system on a high plane These di-
rectors and instructors gather in a
room at Yale College every two
weeks Here the secretary gives out
a subject and explains it There are
then papers written under time linn
it, and these are handed in. read and
discussed. Subjects are given out
and those present write theses at
home and these are also handed in.
The best one is selected and read by
the writer. There is free criticism of
all work SO that every possible point
is brought out
"The field of subjects is broad For
instance, one of the instructors at the
Putnam school is preparing a thesis
on the employment agencies of the
country. He will have to make con
siderable research and investigation,
and will give facts and also his own
theories and opinions as to how the
system may be improved. This will
come in for criticism of others of the
class The men are interested in the
classes and feel that they are being
fitted by the work done. Through this
personal benefit the schools receive
benefits.
There is not as much public inter
est taken in the Putnam State Trade
school as there should be. Too many
people do not realize what an i'm
portant institution it has become. If
one expects to see only a few pieces
of machinery in operation he will be
greatly surprised to step into a COM
pletely equipped machine shop or
carpenter shop, or to see raw cotton
in its evolution through all necessary
machines to finished cloth. The 9th
er departments are as complete.
There is an interesting sight to be
seen for the trouble of going to the
State Trade school any day. A half
a day may be spent at the institution
and it will be both enjoyable and in
structive, and it is free Director
Bentley not only invites but urges
citizens to come to the school and see
the actual work being done. If the
importance of the work and its value
to the young people of the community
can only be impressed on the parents,
the school will have immediate
growth. The best way to impress it
O.. he minds of the citizens is to have
them see it. The problem is to get
them crested enough so that they
will 60 to the school and look it over.
Many people feel that they will be in
the way and are not wanted. En-
phatically, this is not so, people are
wanted and the more that go to the
school to look it over, the better the
director will like it. A little public
interest would be appreciated and a
DECIDED asset to the school.

TO FORM DISTRICT
NURSE ASSOCIATION
Meeting to Be Held In Chamber
of Commerce Rooms Next
Friday Evening.
Work Now Being Done BY Nurse
Considered indispensable

A meeting of great Importance to
this city vii be held in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms in Union block
next week Friday evening, December
13. when it is hoped that permanent
District Nurse Association may be
formed
For the past three months Miss Vic.
toria Linden has been employed as a
district nurse by the Parent-Teachers
association, and the work she has
been doing has proved so satisfactory
and the results obtained so important
to the health and welfare of the com
munity that those interested in the
movement consider il is time to form
a permanent organization.
While the Parent Teachers associ-
alton has been paying the expense so
far, and there remains 5000 in the
treasury. which. with fees collected
and the subscriptions from the mills
would assure the nurse being retained
for at least two or three more months
so important has the work become
that a committee of three has been
appointed from the association to
bring about an organization that will
assure a district nurse for Putnam
permanently.
Putnam is about the only place Of
any size in Windham county that has
not formed such an association. The
latest addition in this progressive
movement is in the Grosvenor- Dales,
where an association was recently
formed and a nurse hired. The sys-
tenn is now in working order and good
results are already being realized.
Willimantic and Danielson have had
such organizations for some time and
good reports come from all places
where a nurse is working.
To show the great amount of work
such a nurse does the report of Miss
Linden for the period between Octo-
Der 10 and November 10 is given be
low.

Mrs. August Blanehette lie visiting
in Lowell.
Putnam patriot. [volume] (Putnam, Conn.) 1872-1962, 1918-12-06

From the above it is evident that
there is plenty of work to be done
and that it is being done. Those in
close touch with the work say that
Miss Linden has shown much interest
in the work she has in charge and it is
hoped that she may be retained per-
manently.
1t would seem that a city the size
of Putnam cannot afford not to keep
up with other and even smaller plac-
es in safeguarding the health and wei
fare of the community as regards a
public health nurse, and the meeting
should attract large gathering in
order that an organization may be
formed with enthusiasm and interest.
