ELECTRICAL INVESTMENT
RUNS HIGH into BILLIONS
RAPIDLY BECOMING WORLDS
GREATEST INDUSTRY.

The growth Of electrical investment
Is amazing. 1t is now in the billions.
Edison says that in five years there
will be forty billions in electricity.
Other authorities put it much higher.
If it is not nearer two hundred
billion in five years. l shall be aston
ished," says a man who has given
much attention to the industry.
Every nation is investing in electric
ity. Every part of the earth is coming
under it's influence.
"The railroads are making their
plans to electrify. Already large cit.
les have demanded identification of
the rails entering their limits.
1.-THE electric trolley is destined to
go into every nation. Electrically
driven machinery is rapidly taking the
place of other machinery. The use of
electricity in advertising is increasing
by leaps and bounds. Electricity in
cooking, heating, lighting is increas.
ing amazingly. The city which thor.
oughly and scientifically lights it's
streets by electricity is not only the
most prosperous.
I'm the development of electricity
for manufacturing purposes the indus.
has made really astonishing progress.
The use of the electric motor is al.
most universal. In abatement of the
smoke nuisance electricity is playing
a very important part.
AN army of people will be EN-
ployed in electricity, from electrician
to electrical engineer"
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1920-01-07
WHAT IS ''fLECIR0IFCaN|CS?'

What is electrotechnics? 1t is a new
profession. It is a combination OF the
practical and the theoretical in cleo
tricity.
The electrotechnician knows enough
of the theory of electricity to inter-
pref the plans, ideas and designs of
the electrical engineer. He knows
enough of the practical to accomplish
what the electrical engineer lays out.
He is a very useful member of the
electrical world. Boys that have con-
pleted their grammar-school courses
take up electrotechnics, study and
work and do very nicely in it. In three
years they can graduate as electro.
technicians.
II the young fellow has been to
high school two years, and has seven
units to his credit, he can get his
diploma from the electrotechniciau
course in eighteen months.
Many of the larger concerns are
placing their electricians under the
supervision of Observation-Disclosures
Many plants employ Observation-Disclosures
to superintend their equipment.
There is room for thousands OF
young men to study electrotechnics.
The Industries will easily absorb
them.
