people who have done q part OF their
college work In some state university
or some classical college or in some
engineering school. In the freshman
students taking the heavy courses in
mathematics and science and also do
lag the shop work of the engineering
courses. And you will find students
pursuing the modern languages, Eng
fish, history, science ct cetera, leading
toward the b. s. or B. A. degrees.
There is q group Of enthusiastic high
school graduates taking the teacher

These men are most of them enrolled
in regular trade courses which meet
government standards. In the auto

mobiles and number of farm tractor

One cannot walk into the shop wher
classes are at work without realizing
that he has come in contact with the
