 Special Schedule of the Trade School
 The Trade School will operate on a revised daily. schedule on Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday, begin ming at 10:00 o'clock in the morn ing instead of s o'clock, the usual time, and will be in operation from 6sS0 to 9:30 o'clock in the evening. This is done to give everyone who wishes an opportunity to see the apprentices of the departments at their work. On Saturday the morn- ing session will be mtted, and the school will In in ? to 5 o'clock in the afternoon and from 7:S0 to 9:30 in the evening.
 It is the intention of each de- partment, as far as possible, to present an actual performance of the daily routine work as it is car ried on throughout the year. The projects will be those that every ap- prentice must complete before he can graduate. An attempt will be made to present projects as diver sified as possible to give the visitor a cross sectional view of the major yearly activities of the school in the short time he is in the building.
 Thetmasonry department. which spends the majority of. it's time on buildings in New Britain and sur rounding towns, will have it's ap- prentices working on projects such as fireplaces, arches, chimney tops. pattern bonds special angles and corners, and other work not pro- curable in sufficient quantity on out side production jobs to develop that high degree of skill necessary to the journeyman mason. When outside work is not available the apprentices are put through projects of this type under close supervision and instruc- ton, enabling them to develop the necessary skill and knowledge in the shortest possible time. The ma sorry department has just complet- ed a siX-room brick house at East Berlin, doing all clustering and cement work in addition 10 the brick laying.
 Like the masons, the carpenters spend the greater part of their time on building projects. Inside work, however. is not supplemental to the outside jobs, but consists largely Of high class cabinet work and getting out interior trim. During the open nights and Saturday afternoon tho apprentices of this department will be inside working on a number of pieces of interesting work which in Clude a four poster rope bed, four large pieces of colonial tavern furni- turc for pr. Flanagan and other
