WHERE A BOY CAN GET A CHANCE

Workshops Open Again on Sept. 1 at Winona Technical Institute, Indianapolis, For Training Boys.

When Winona Technical Institute at Indianapolis, "the school that gives the boy a chance,” opens its new year on Sept. 1 it will have seven departments in operation, with the eighth well on the way. Boys who hafe been taking instruction in practical trades which require two or three years will be back in the Winona workshops and it is expected that a much larger number of new boys than usual will help to send the total enrollment over the highest point the Institute has known since it. began in 1905. During the summer the workshops undergo a general overhauling. Machinery is set to rights, material with ■which the boys work is replenished, and through the coming winter these shops, each one a factory in itself, will hum with industry. The Institute’s official “family” has been organized for the year with these officers: President, S. C. Dickey, who is also general manager of Winona Assembly and schools; president x>f the board of trustees, Hugh H. Hanna, president of the Atlas Engine Works, Indianapolis; vice-presidents, H. J. Heinz, Pittsburg capitalist; Alexander McDonald, vicepresident of the Standard oil company of Kentucky; John M. Studebaker, of Studebaker Brothers, South Bend;

treasurer. W. J. Richards, of the Union , National Bank, Indianapolis; general director. W. C. Smith; dean, John H. Gertler. The executive committee is: H. H. Hanna, Chairman; John H. Holliday, president of the Union Trust Company, vice-chairman; W. J. Richards. secretary; H. C. Atkins, of the Atkins Saw Works; A. A. Barnes, president of the Udell Works; S. C. Dickey; M. L. Haines, pastor of the First Presbyterian church; W. H. Hubbard. realestate and insurance; T. C. Day of the T. C. Day & Company, realestate; Arthur Jordan, president Me ridian Life Insurance Company; J. L. Ketcham, of the Brown & Ketcham iron works. The oldest and one of the most successful of the Institute's departments is the school of Pharmacy. Although only entering its sixth year, it is the largest school of its kind in Indiana in point of students enrolled, and it is the seventh largest in the United States. The present laws in Indiana has made it necessary for pharmacists and chemists to become educated before they can practice their calling. They must be able as a dispenser of medicines to meet a practicing physician on his own grounds, and under the law an apprenticeship is a drugstore as a washer of bottles and a dispenses of soda water will not qualify a young man to do pharmacutical and chemical work for the public. The laws are so rigidly enforced that a druggist Is no longer permitted to be the teacher of his clerk, and this alone has tnade it necessary for young men to turn to schools of pharmacy. The Winona School prepares a young man for work along scientific lines in pharmacies, sugar refineries, foundaries, tanneries, steel mills, packing houses, and for many Jfoes of business in which a few years ago chemists were unheard of. The Winona School of Lithography, the only one tn North America, which draws its students from foreign countries jub well as from over the United States, has graduated a number of young men who have since become foremen and superintendents of com mercial plants. Its methods of in struction have succeeded the old way of teaching apprentices in shops. The School has a very extensive equipment, given over entirely to the use of the students, and the ’instruction carries the young men through every detail 5f the trade, not only how to perform ike work, but why certain effects are produced. The chemistry of lithography, something never learned by the old lithographer in his apprenticshlp days, has a consplclous place in the school’s Instruction. The preparation of stones, drawing, engraving, transferring, presswork, all necessary steps In lithography, are a part of the schooling. ‘

The Institute's School of Printing graduated 83 students last year, a number of them young women who learned machine type-setting. The school gives a student a thoroughtraining all along the line of printing, or a student who has this general knowledge Is developed Into a specialist as a compositor, pressman, or some other line. The School of Printing has since it was founded kept a waiting list of young men and women who ■Ma*

desired to learn the operations of a linotype, not only how to set type by machinery, but also how to repair and take care of this intricate machine. It is difficult to find enough good operators to run the machines in the commercial printing plants, as the owners of the machines are too intent in getting finished products from them to give them over to those who desire to learn how to operate them. It is this limited opportunity in the commercial plants that has caused young men and women to turn to the Winona School in large numbers for the instruction. The School of Tile and Mantel Setting teaches a boy in six months what required four years under the old apprenticeship method. It carries a student through all lines of tile work, from the histbry and manufacture of tile to the most Intricate forms and patterns of' construction. Shop lectures, mechanical drawing, estimating on contract work are dwelt upon. The boys from this school haye never had any difficulty in finding employment with the largest tile-making concerns, and several of them have become contractors on their own account. The School of Bricklaying is to be largely expanded to include all of the important building trades, including

carpentry, plumbing, painting, and others. The school will train young men that they may follow any one of these trades, or, where they desire, will. give them instruction in all that they may become contractors or building superintendents. Not only will they do practical work in the school, but will earn their way in large part by work done on homes and buildings in Indianapolis. Much preparation has been made for opening the School for Machinists, the equipment given by members of the National Metal Trades Association making a very large and complete workshop. It will give instruction in machine, floor and vise work, In die and tool making. An arrangement has been made under which the work of the students will be done for commercial concerns, and the boys will earn enough almost to pay their own way. The School for Iron Moulders, established by the National Founders’ Association to make up the shortage oi 25 to 50 per cent in skilled workmen rln the foundries of the country, has been highly successful. The school plant is a big foundry in itself, where the boys not only learn the trade, but make good wages while doing so. The Instruction begins at the beginning of the trade, and when a student finishes the schooling, he is ready for a permanent place in a commercial foundry, with many places of employment open to him. Jhe school occupies a SIO,OOO building of brick and steel, which was built for the purposes of the department. A department of the Institute that is in immediate prospect is a school for Training hotel stewards and chefs, and it is being promoted by the National Stewards’ Association. This organization is raising a fund of $200,000 with which to erect and equip a large building on the institute grounds, where it will train stewards and other heads of departments for the hotels of the United States. Good progress has been tnade with this project and the cornerstone of the building will probably be laid this fall. The Institute is broadly philanthropic. It was not founded for the purpose of paying dividends to the men who have pushed its cause, -bijt it is doing a unique work, one that is far-reaching in its effects. It is more on the order of a Y. M. C. A. or similar organization, which does not strive to show a profit or even to be self-supporting, but bends its energies to the end of helping young men help themselves. There is every indication that as the manufacturing. Interests of the United States expand trade schools on the order of Winona Technical Institute grow largely in enrollment and will year after year prove their worth to the young men who receive their instruction In such a school and to the business men and associations who help to foster the institutions. Since it is a pioneer in this field of education, setting an example for similar schools to follow, the signs Indicate that coming years will develop the Winona Institute into one of the wonders of the industrial life in this country.
