CALL TO REGISTER
FOR ADULT CLASSES

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council, through their committee on
education have a quite extensive pro-
gram outlined for this coming fall and
winter, covering adult education. The
classes are going to cover a wide var
iety of subjects which should be es-
.pecially beneficial to the workers Of
this community.
As in the past, the regular classes
of mechanical drawing, machine shop
practice and mathematics, will be con-
tinued. To these will be added, this
year, a quite complete course in Diesel
Engineering. A competent instructor
will be furnished for this course and
one or two working models of the Die
sci Engine will be available for those
interested, so that the students can as
semble and dis-assemble the machines
thereby becoming familiar with all the
working parts.
70 secure these working models and
TO pay the salary Of the instructor, a
small fee will be charged for this class.
The exact amount of this fee is I'M
known at the present time but those in
charge have roughly figured that $40
or SIS per student will be sufficient to
cover all costs. This amount, of course,
depends upon the enrollement in the
class or classes as more than one class
will be held if there is sufficient in
terest in this type Of instruction.
Last spring, a short course in weld
ing was held under the Smith Hughes
Program and because of the interest
shown by those taking this instruction,
it has been decided to continue this
work under the fall program. Because
of the high cost of materials used, there
will be a charge for this instruction also
which will be somewhat higher than
the amount charged last spring. If
those interested in this instruction in
Welding will make their registrations
early, it will eliminate the objection
able feature of too large a class as was
the case before the instruction was
finished in the first part Of the year.
1t has been contemplated to hold a
course of stenography and typing for
those who are taking an active part in
the administration Of the business of
various unions of this community. This
again will depend a great deal upon the
interest shown by those effected.
The courses Of instruction that were
held a few years ago, the Elements of
Electricity and Mechanism, and in met
er construction and operation are on
the program for this Fall and it is
contemplated to add a course in trans
former and Compensation construction
and installation. For these classes the
Montana Power Company has agreed
to donate the facilities which they have
for those interested in this work.
The Smith Hughes program, as ap-
piled to adult vocational education, is
supposed to be correlated to the work
that the students are engaged in, and
an effort will be made this year to see
that this regulation is lived up to. All
of those interested will please register
for the institution they intend to take
either with the Secretary Of their I'm
ion or any member Of the Educational
Committee, of the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council, or at the Admins
.tration building. The sooner these re-
.gistrations are received, the sooner the
classes a be organized and started
and the less confusion there will be
when the program swings into action.
