State May ProDide Additional
 Funds For ELeDen Trade Schools
Two New Institutions Pro- posed For I04I = No
 Mention Of Local Area

The state board of education asks appropriations totaling $1 ,841, ,225 for the eleven trade schools now oper- ated by the state department and two proposed ones for the Scllool year of 1941-42. The amount appro- priated for the eleven existing schools for the present year is $7OO,O
 A large proportion of the requested amount is for new equipment, the cost of which is estimated at $980,- S45. The balance, $S6O, ,S6O, is for sal- aries, supplies and other expenses. The income from town support, fed eral aid and instructional produc- tional work is expected to be about $242, 900.
 The estimated amounts to be spent on the individual schools for the present year and the budget re- quests for the year l94l-1942 are:
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-18

Included in the budget requests is an item of 5000 for the expansion of the evening program in trade edu- cation for older youth and adults, $30,000 for all-night emergency training to prepare unemployed men and boys for industry, and $25, 900 for the initiation of a school industry" program in a few selected areas in which industry will cooperate with the trade schools in training skilled workers.
 A sum of $165 ,00O is requested for the purchase of equipment and for the salary of a director for the pro- posed school at Norwich. This pro- posal was made by Norwich and approved by the state board of edu- cation. The school would be in op- eration during the school year 1942-43 if the appropriation is grant, ed by the legislature.
 The state board asks $207 .889 for a trade school at New Haven. New Haven now operates it's own trade training program with special finan- cial aid from the state board. Under the new proposals the city will pro- vide the building and part of the maintenance expense and the state board will operate state trade school.
 Two general supervisory positions are to be established to make the training of the trade schools more effective. The duties of these super visors will be to study the adjust ment and progres of trade and high school graduates in industry and to make recommendations concerning courses, and to suggest means for cooperation among high schools, trade schools, employers, and labor groups, all to the end that youth can be better served and waste effort eliminated.
 The expansion of trade school fa- cilities in Connecticut, according to the state board of education, is jus tified by tn extreme shortage of skilled labor in the machine indus tries, the building trades and in many skilled commercial occupa- tions. The board considers it charge upon the educational authori- ties to provide the opportunities for training in these skilled trades and occupations for the benefit of the youth of the state and the advance ment of the states industries.
 Proposed expansion of Bridgeport trade school will add 10000 square feet of floor space to provide for the inclusion of new courses in tool and die work, lithography. air-condition- ing, refrigeration, oil-bur11er installa- ton and repair, radio operation and repair, cafeteria work, costume de- signing, tailoring, aircraft sheet metal work, and welding and for the enlargement of the facilities for the present courses.
 The present program includes courses in automobile mechanics, drafting, masonry, foundry practice, electrical work, patternmaking. com art, dressmaking, carpentry, shop work, printing, paint ing, and plumbing.
 Budget provisions are made for the appointment of an assistant director, fourteen new instructors, one new clerk, two more janitors and one ad- ditional watchman. New machinery and equipment for the proposed en- larged program will cost $189. 100.
 Equipment is sought and plans have been completed for expanding schools in Danbury. Hartford, Man. chester, Middltown, New Britain, Putnam, Stamford and Willimantic.
