WASHINGTON, June l4-I.ess than

employed in American shipyards. To
day there are more than 1000 Skill

boilers. winches and other machinery
necessary to eqnip them.

CAREFULLY TRAINED
Training of the various kinds of
shipbuilders in the yards is accom-
plished by putting the men to work
on production jobs, under the super
vision of yard Instructor. This yard
instructor has full charge of gangs
while they are learning. The efficien-
cy of green gang under training will
average about so percent of finished
workmen.
Yard instructors are skilled mechan-
les trained in the teaching method.
This training is given in a training
center, where the mechanic is given
an idea of instructional management,
and how to get the instructions across
effectively.
The first training center was estab-
lished at Newport News To it were
sent skilled mechanics, selected from
the yards. They were given a six
weeks course of training, eight hours
a day. During the last part of his
course they were obliged to spend for
ty hours in the actual handling of
gangs of green men. Yard instructors
are drawn from variety of trades,
such as riveters, ship filters, ship car
penters, caulkers etc
216 COMPLETE COURSE
Twenty-Five plants have sent men
for training as yard instructors, PIG
of these men have completed their
training and "A are now in training.
In addition to the training center
established in Newport News, there
are now several others established at
Hog Island, at Chester, Pa. at the
Submarine Yard at Newark, N. j., and
two special centers for the training of
electric welders at Schenectady, N. Y,
and at New York City.
SO far, IS yards have put in training
departments. One yard instructor can
train about l50 men each year. The
period of training for green man
varies from two to eight weeks. One
yard has already trained enough yard
instructors in the training centers TO
turn out weekly 500 skilled mechan.
les within the yard
In addition to the training of green
men, there exists the problem of talk.
