MEETING THE
EMERGENCY
By VIVIAN M. MOSES
OF The WgN0ntes

When H. G. Wells called the present
war the war Of machines he had In
mind the vast quantities Of engines OF
war used ut the front-the ordnance,
both large and small, the bOmb-mor-
tars and mine-thrOwers, gas-prOjectOrs,
airplanes and tanks employed in the
actual fighting. But there is another
n in which this is the wal of ma
chimes even more truly than that in
which the great British novelist used
the term; for on the machines In the
shops and factories of the allied ma
lions depends an allied victory-On
the machines and the men who drive
them.
AS has been the case with each Of
her allies, the United States since 1t
entered the var has had to increase
stupendously the output of its machine
shops. This result is being accom-.
plished by the erection of new plants,
by the enlargement and increase In ia.
cilities Of the shops already engaged
in the production of war products, and
by the conversion to this purpose Of
plants previously engaged in other
work. The problem of multiplying the
shops to work in is a comparatively
simple one; more difficult is the prob
lem Of supplying the skilled workmen
to I'll these shops.
Obviously we cannot quadruple q
skilled wOrkmen by the old methods Of
apprenticeship and training fast
enough to meet the nations needs.
The old method has been found want
ing. 1t consisted in taking the raw.
unskilled laborer into the shop, start
ing him at the simplest work that
could be found, and letting him fight
his way slowly and painfully to the
status of a trained mechanic. 1t was
a method which wasted the three pre-
cious elements. time, material and
man-power.
New Way Was Found.
The training accomplished by pri-
vate and public vocational and tech
meal schools brings far better results,
but produces o small a quantity Of
skilled mechanics to meet the emer-
gency.
France found a new way. Great
Britain has adopted 1t. And o
America must get In line-is already
getting in line, in fact. with gratifying
results. For the method is swift,
is sure, is comparatively cheap. 1t
turns the grocer boy or the school
teacher into a skilled mechanic with
equal facility. 1t is the method Of
the shop training school.
Shop training schools are now main

anything except tho wages and Dos
sibly q place to put up u few tents.
The farmers wife has no bother or
extra work In the matter ut all. Well,
every n Of these units In Westches-
ter county made good. and there were
exactly as many surprised farmers In
Westchester county as there were
units. At the end Of the seasOn each
employer was asked. "Will you en-
pl0y womun fnrm hands again next
Year," Each farmer made exactly the
same reply. "Yes. II l can get the same
women"
Each thought that he had happened
to have the luck to get the only good
bunch Of girls! Sly, shrewd fellows.
those farmers! For 1t seemed to them
quite obvious that women as a class
could not be good farm laborers. A
perfectly natural prejudice. Men as a
class have always had the same GER
tainty that women could be good
ut anything Outside of the home" un-
til they went out and made good at
everything from voting and dOctoring
to driving ambulances, and even ut
fighting In the trenches when the ne
cessity arose over In poor betrayed
Russia.
Kept Island From Starving.
American farmers, however, are the
most enlightened In the world. Per-
haps 1t will not take them so long to
get the idea into their heads as 1t re-
Quired to beat it into the British brain.
In England, ever after the scarcity OF
farm labor had become more acute
than 1t Is here now, the "wOman's land
army" movement was almost blighted
by masculine prejudice until the gov
eminent became alarmed and turned a
clever. trick. Prizes were offered at the
county fairs for public competitions
for woman workers in various depart
ments of farm work. This aroused
considerable curiosity and created a
great deal of discussion. The question.
however, was not whether girls could
do farm work. but which girl could do
1t best! Big crowds gathered. Bets
were made. Rivalry ran high. And
when 1t was demonstrated before the
astOnished eyes Of the British farmers
that these farm lassies," as they now
affectiOnately term their "farmerettes"
over there, not only knew their job
but were experts Mt it, the prejudice
broke down and the country was saved.
The woman's land army of England,
now 10000 strong, has kept the island
from starving. This patriotic fact has
been publicly acknowledged in parlia-
ment.
There are already II states of the
Union organized under the WOman's
Land Army Of America, and in New
York alone 5000 farmerettes are regis
tered for this season. 1t is a fine pa
triotic service. a good thing for the
farmer who can thus get good sober.
industrious laborers Mt a cheap rate.
n good thing for the girls, who can
thus get a wholesome outing as well
fair wages, and the best thing of all
for the nation, which needs food and
needs men, and needs them at once.

working plants engaged in manufac.
ture Of war products. They are spaces
set aside for this purpose alone, and
equipped with machines of every
type used in the shops proper. An ex-
pert mechanic especially selected for
his aptitude for this work is in charge
in each Of these shops, and under him
other skilled mechanics act as teach
ers. Here are received the raw or un
dertrained applicants for work. They
are assigned to the types of work to
which they best seem fitted, and quick
ly and practically instructed in this
work at the very machines which they
will have to operate in the main shops.
They work with the materials and on
the actual orders upon which the shop
is engaged and the product Of their
labors becomes a part Of the output Of
the shop. They are paid a fair hour
ly wage as learners, and this wage in
creases as the skill of the learner en-
ables him to increase his output.
The results obtained In these shop
training schools are almost beyond be-
lief. The ideal conditions under which
a raw man is taught to handle his ma
chine enable him to become a skilled
mechanic in a small fraction of the
time formerly consumed In the old
method under which he picked up
knowledge bit by bit in the shop from
such other workmen as had time to
help him.
Mechanics Are Needed.
For example. here, in a New Eng
