TRADE SCHOOL
Frederick Parker Drafting In structor.-Enroll In Evening
 School.

Frederick A. Parker, Lynn. Mass, has been employed as junior draft inc instructor at the State Trade School. MT. Parker received his train ing at the General Electric Co, Lynn, in the engineering course, and has had several years experiece in draft ing and machine design and comes with a good preparation to definitely correlate the subjects related to me chanical trades. With this addi ion to the staff the school will be better enabled to carry on in a practical manner the subjcts related Co the va rious trades heine taught. Mr Park CT will be detailed to the machine shop and electrical drafting and will CO., operate with Mir. Barr in part time and grade student work.
 The drafting department as plan ned in 1925 seemed amply large for future requirements but from present indications encouragement will have to be made on the top floor to permit more drafting tables being put in. Some of tine class rooms will also have Co be enlarged to take care of the increasing demand. This can be readily taken care ef as there is some additional space on the top floor which may be utilized for the purpose.
 Evening School
 Those interested in evening school work are still enrolling. The present enrolment in evening classes is 220 divided among eight departments.
 The carpentry department IS pro- viding training in house framing, use of a steel square. cabinet work, and 1t is the present plan for teaching framing work to do actual framing of small buildings in the school, these to be utilized for definite purposes, the aim being to teach the use of tfe steel square as applied to framing in a practical manner.
 There is opportunity in the mason rv department for more students who desire to take this work. The eve ming work is devoted entirely to brick laying and knowledge of this work is very helpful to anyone interested or engaged in the building trades. Masonry classes are in operation Tuesday and Friday evenings each week. Enrolment may be made at any time.

In all the experiences we have had

than Jesus of Nazareth. One reason
why His power persists in the face of
all opposition is that. knowing what
was IN man, lie persisted IN the Deilef
that he possessed latent qualities of
mind and heart that once called into
action would lift him above defeat and
disaster and bring him to the higher

these new paths? Shall we enter them

the while for defects in human nature.
or shall we enter them with the deep

way. the good is to triumph and this
old world emerge more and more from
the shadows of the past, to enter upon
that new day when righteousness shall
cover the earth, even as the waters

gency air valves leading to each COM
partment Of the submarine, to which
a diver may in a minimum of time at
tach a line so that the air. which is
life. may be conveyed to the occupants
pending further rescue steps. Such
equipment could have saved a portion
of the crew of the S4 had 1t been
available to the divers in those few
precious hours prior to the storm. There
is the carrying of all possible oxygen

promptly attached and the ship raised

of passing chains beneath the hull.

have prevented the adoption of any
one of these devices. II is more than
possible that the availability of any
one of them would have saved the lives

demand will not cease to be uttered
until the responsible authorities give
adequate assurance that their RESPONSE
