ELEVENTH SCHOOL YEAR FROM AUGUST TO DECEMBER 31, 1919

Limit in the capacity of the school reached, with waiting list established.
The outlook of the future for the skilled workman in the metal-working trades, and the opportunity offered by the school in the machinist trade resulted in a much larger registration at the opening of the term for the eleventh school year than could be accommodated, the capacity of the school being seventy boys on part time. We have a waiting list of fifteen boys, December 31, 1919.

The Federal Board for Vocational Education recognized the practical training of our school, as we have at present two pupils on part time placed in the school by them, under the Vocational Rehabilitation Act, which provides for the vocational training and return to gainful employment of persons disabled in the military or naval forces of the United States.

Since the opening of the school, August 4th, 1919, thirteen boys have been promoted to full time, making a total of seven- teen boys on full time December 31, 1919.

The purchase of Machinery's Encyclopedia, and Modern Shop Practice for our library is proving very beneficial to the boys in the study of their related work.
