That Send Men To The Glasses

Offering advantages and opportuni-
ties that cannot be found elsewhere
in a strictly vocational school any
where throughout this country, Mid
dlesex County Vocational School No.
2, or Bertrand avenue, this city, has
a chemical department in which
young men from this city and vicinity
are trained in the rudiments and
fundamentals of chemistry and where
also classes from two of the largest
manufacturing concerns in this
neighborhood receive instruction in
laboratory work, thus greatly en-
HANGING their chances for advance
ment in the plants where they are
employed and increasing their value
to their employers.
Little has been known by the peo-
pie of both this city and New Bruns-
wick concerning the nature of work
done at the vocational schools here
and in the county seat but the activi-
ties in the chemical department here.
which is the only n of its kind
throughout the United States, de-
mands attention.

II is the object of the department to
train boys as laboratory assistants so
that they may go direct from the
school into some local concern and
also the aim is TO give them an ade-

principles governing manufacturing
processes continually utilized in the
laboratories of the various industries.
Since the chemical course was in

there has been such a demand for
graduates from the factories in the
county who desired trained assistants
for their chemical departments. that
enough boys could not be furnished.
