STATE TRADE SCHOOL
 DOING A GREAT WORK
LARGEST ENROLMENT IN ITS HISTORY AND MORE ROOM NEEDED.-NIGHT SCHOOL DENOTES
 SINCERITY AS PUPILS WORK ALL DAY
Fits Young Men to Become Better and More Valuable Citizens
 Putting Overall Job Higher Pisne.-Visitor Welcome

not withdraw or alter his statement, and those who have been in toych with the school, or even have talked with the local supervisor about the school, know full well the source of the foun- tain of enthusiasm.
 Theory Plus Practice
 The electrical department was in full operation Tuesday evening and was complete illustration of the work done in all departments of the school. The intensity of purpose was evidenced in the practical department where some fifteen young men were so busily engaged in their tasks as to hardly give a glance at visitors. If a pupil had to cross the room for some piece Of apparatus or a necessary tool he did not saunter over and back but almost ran the distance, so eager was the pupil to make every minute of the time count These pupils were there for purpose. They had worked dur ing the day and were voluntarily working during the evening. not for pay. but because they were ambitious.
 Stepping into a room close by, a teacher was seen standing before a blackboard, while seated at tables were pupils who had made practical tests in the electrical department some previous night The pupils were checking up the theoretical side of what they had done in the practical side. IL was not all clear to the cas- ual observer, but it was apparent that, given certain stated forces and sizes, and whatever else might be necessary, the pupil was being taught to figure out the number of revolutions obtained or the amount of force engendered. etc. They had performed some task in the practical department, and were now learning why the work they had performed obtained certain result and could always be counted upon to do so under similar conditions. That if a and and C were present, q or \ would result That the theory equal led the practice, the practice equalled the theory. and that practice plus theory would always obtain a certain objective.

list here. This should be remedied If possible for, in some eases, when the applicant is necessarily turned away. she will never return.
 Open to Visitors
 The Putnam Trade School IS open 10 visitors at all times. To visit the school is well worth an effort. No one can pass from room to room and see these earnest workers at their tasks, absorbing practical and theoretical knowledge, without becoming imbued, to some degree. with that enthusiasm that those directly interested evince. l. is a great work. wonderful work, that the state Is doing. and tends for a better citizenry. and should there fore receive every encouragement from the citizens of the state.

work, to attend the trade school2 This thought will come to anyone who watches the work being done in the evening classes. it was answered in part by Mir. Trinder who said in sub stance that many pupils who come ta the school come because they have learned. through those who have pre- yiously attended. that to knew their job is a means to advancement and better wages They find they cannot compete with the young man who has both the practical and theoretical ex- perienee afforded by a state trade school
 Grows In Popularity
 Vocational training has grown in popularity throughout the state and wherever there is a state trade school conditions are found to be similar to those in Putnam. an increasing num- Der of applications for admittance. and. in a number of other cities, more room needed.
 This vocational training tends to put the ''overall'' job on a higher plane and to minimize the white collar job in the minds of young men. This feat ure alone Is worth all the money the state spends on this branch of educa- tion. lt has been deplored. whether due to the public school system is a moeted question, that there has been proneness of young people to lock down upon the position with an attri- bute of dirty hands and soiled cloth ing The boy who leaves school when graduating from the grammar depart mcnt. ar even from the high school with nc fixed purpose in view. Is af- forded an opportunity. through the medium of the state trade schools. of fitting himself. without cost. to be- a better citizen. to be more valuable citizen. and t0 be productive of bet ter income through being of more val ue to his employer The professions have nc part in the vocational schools but the young man with the practical and theoretical experience of the trade school to sell stands on an equal foot ing with the doctor. or lawyer, or en- gineer in the business life of any com. lmunlty. Knowing "why" he does a thing and why" it brings a certain result, IS what interests the young man in his job.
 Other Departments
 The machine shop was in operation Tuesday night. but the carpentry de. partment was closed The boys Of this department are building a bungalow in Thompson at the present time. and llt IS nearing completion.
 Over in the sewing department in the high school building girls were found hard at their tasks sewing or cutting They are going to be capable women and practical heipmeets for fu- ture husbands The teacher in charge deplered the lack of room and the in- ability to admit more applicants in her department. There is a waiting

hours or more absorbing the knowl- edge that leads Co advancement and transforms them from part of ma chine tn a master of the branch they study.
 Begins at Beginning
 For instance. let us say that one of the pupils iu the textile department is n weaver iH a cotton mill He is ann bilious and wants to learn more about his work than how to thread a shuttle and hX q smash He applies to the trade school is admitted and expects to be put on d loom Here he finds that he does not meet these eNpeeta- tions. Ho starts on the pickers as a beginner. with some older pupil. un- der the supervision of the instructor in charge of the room He learns how this operation Is pepormed and pass es on to the next operation and con- tinues through each department until he reaches the loom where he expect ed to start.
 Practice and Theory During this time the pupil has not only been instructed in the practical side of the making af cotton cloth. but he has also been studying the theory of cotton making He knows why he has done what he has done at the ma chimes and what the result of a eer- tain operation will be before II is made He knows how large a thread to make and he knows how many twists and how much material il takes to attain the desired result Not only this. but he can take any machine he ] has worked upon to pieces and reas- semhle it. When he Is finished pro- Iduct of the State Trade School he is master ef the theory and practice of making cotton cloth. He can get a position in any department of a mill I land is competent to take charge of less 1 learned and ambitious employees.
 This is brief outline of the i'm precision one gets by walking and talk ling his way through the textile de partment of the school in company with such enthusiasts as Mir. Trinder and Mir. Ellis.
 When asked if an addition was not soon Co be essential to taking care of i the increasing number of applications the question was not met squarely, but il was pointed out. although t was self evident, m passing through the school, that already. even in the night classes, the rooms are overcrowaed and pupils are in each others way, Especially is this true in the academic classes.
 Source of Enthusiasm
 The schools expansion has devcl- .oped since Mir Ellis came to Putnam. Mir Trinder sand that t is due to Mir. Ellis efforts that this has come about, bat the modest supervisor said that he came here just as the pot was about to boil and that 1t boiled in the natural course of events" However the su- perintendent of state trade schools did
