PROVIDE SCHOOLS FOR :
i UN|TI0N WORKERS

One thing that the war has dem
onstrated with utter conclusiveness is
that long apprenticeship for mechan-
ical work can be dispensed with if
the emergency is sufficiently urgent.
The department of labor's training
and dilution service recognizes this
principle.
The apprenticeship system had
taken a much stronger hold in Eng.
land than It'll has ever obtained here,
and when large numbers Of English
men were called into the military
service it was necessary to revise very
radically impressions that had ex-
listed up to that time. The United
States department of labor has been
much interested in England's expe-
riences along this line and has found
them very helpful in solving American
The discovery Of an untapped res
ervoir in women's work and tho adop-
ton Of improved automatic and safety
appliances in machines provided salts
factorily for the work which was not
of complicated nature. There were
many jobs, however. developed by;
the war in which experienced workers
were needed.
The result was that intensive train
ing was instituted by the great fac.
tories whereby men and women were
instructed in the operation Of COM
plicated machinery and intricate pro-
cesses. The way was shown by the
initiative and generosity Of a few In
diyiduals who appreciated the prob
lem. The government then estab-
lished training section for factory
workers in the ministry of munitions
and some 50 colleges and schools were
brought into the system. The courses.
led eventually to such advanced engi-
neering work as lead-burning, tool:
setting and gauge making. and were
accompanied by theoretical discussion
in exact measurement calculation.
