KNIGHTs OF COLUMBUs.

One of the most optimistic signs of the resent industrial situation is revealed by Supreme Secretary William J. Mckinley in h.s analysis of registrations for the E1ig1ts of Columbus national evening school system for the 1921-22 term.
 There is an unprecedented demand for technical training" he finds We have had the briskest registration period In the three years that our schools have been established. and 95 per cent. of the students enrolling for K. of c. courses have elected to take what are known as IvcEhood courses. q technical framing designed to aid them in following trade vacations such as telegraphy, acetelyne welding. auto mechanics, plumbing, painting. etc.
 "A substsntial percentage of the 50,000 persons so far registered are at present unemployed. but their search for employ ment has impressed them with the neces- s.,y or lrarrng some practical trade to fit them for work at a specialized calling. NI0-e than 50 per cent of those register ing in the 13O K. of C. schools are former service men and women, who receive free tuition"
 With the gradual i@crease in industrial activity, he adds. the K. of c. schools Will graduate qualified workers for 37 different callings covered in the school cu-ricula. When the schools open in mid October it is expected that 100.0 stu dents will be enrolled.
