FOR SCHOOL USE
Educators Are Urging Rep.
resentative Caldwell to
Press Bill for Aid.

Educators from all over the country
are sending letters of commentator
to Representative Caldwell, of New
York, for his work in introducing a
bill which is now before the House
Military Affairs Committee. and which
provides for the lending by the govern
ment to trade and technical schools,
OF the surplus machinery tools which
the government bought on account of
the war 1t is estimated that there
will be between 100000, 900 and $780,
OO0, 900 worth OF such tools which the
government will not be able to use
after the troops are brought back
from France.
The subject is to be brought before
the National Educational Society in
annual convention in Cleveland this
week. and many prominent educators
have agreed to see that it gets the
endorsement OF the convention. They
say that it will be very beneficial to
the country to have the tools used
for training the coming generation,
and that the country will reap the
benefit in the form of more skilled
mechanics. At the present time, on
account of the high prices which the
manufacturers are demanding for ma
chine tools, very few schools through
out the country are sufficiently sup
piled with tools enough for every
student, and they say that It Is not
an uncommon sight to visit a work
shop in a technical school and see
n crowd of ten students standing
around one student who Is using tools,
while they have to wait their turn.
