Thomas State superintendent of pub
lie schools, is chairman and Everett

warm in its praise of the fine textile

the start but will eventually develop
into a fine vocational department.
Mr. Mackay. who is in charge of
the work, has three aims. to show the
students the opportunities for en-
ployment and advancement in San
ford. to interest some students in
textiles as a preparation for fore
manship. and to help some who might
drift into industry untitled by in
clination and ability.
During the first half year. the
course will cover textile processes
and calculations covering the weights
of raw cotton lengths of cloth. horse
