grade or operation for a year.
 Little or no attention was paid to the | apprentices need of academic training necessary to make any advance in his trade knowledge to point where he could supervise work or become spe- cialist in his own line.
 If any studies of theory in coraection with the work were received by the ap- prentice it was by attending night school or depending upon the tuition of someone who oftimes was poorly equip ped to instruct even though possessed of the required knowledge Shd while this policy is still adhered to in some parts of the country vet within the last | decade there has been general ten | dency toward the more modern method 1 of trade school training. for boys desir- ous of entering the. industrial reqds. l The trade school plan is a more in i tensive study in the practice of all the l subjects included in the trade and zach l student is advanced just as fast as he l masters the problems met with in the
 work.
 One-quarter to one-third of his time Is spent in academic study or what is
 commonly known as related subjects"
 and in most every case the youthful l tradesman graduates with higher l knowledge of the theories of his trade | Inan 1OuEHeNDl6H
 have acquired in practice.
 This knowledge of the principles of his work makes it possible for the trade school boy, after short experience in
 actual industry to become an expert
 and good material for future executive positions.
 Of course the higher the students
 elementary education is upon entering
 the trade school the more rapid his ad-
 vancement and the more complete his
 knowledge upon graduation.
 The Putnam Trade School is organ
 ized on this basis. Its staff of instruc-
 tors are men who have spent consider
 able time in the practical application oi
 their trade and who have trained and qualified as instructors.
 Each student is given individual in struction and is advanced in this worI according to his individual attainments
