'’flow 'Jlte tteab 0| 'l ahe School G. W. Havcrly Director of Trade School TO TRADES AND ENGINEERING STUDENTS: Rather than supply a conventional paragraph for your Arjuivasie, I decided to include here high points of a few of today’s happenings” in the trade school office. In this morning’s mail was a letter from a former student who is employed in the Safety Division of a Bismarck power company. In his letter he tells of his complete satisfaction with his present position and relates interesting details. He then speaks of four former students of the school who arc employed by the same company and he outlines what they are doing. Then there is a telephone call from Grand Forks relative to organization of a special course for employed metermen; also a long distance call from a Moorhead. Minnesota employer who has three former students in his employ and who has need for another. Three men who are officers in a State Trade Association were here today and requested that the school organize a new course which would prepare young men for work in the welding and blacksmithing trade. These few illustrations show the tie-up that exists between management, workers, and the school; between employers, employees, former students, and the trade division of the State School of Science. It is this kind of “working together that brings results. Our trade school is efficient in proportion as it gains and holds the good will of employers. If students from the school are in demand, then the courses arc “on the right track. This means that they must be practical and up-to-date; and must be taught by men who are masters of the trade. None of us know what the future has in store for us, but one thing is certain: all young l eoplc must realize that each must prepare for a career; and. at some time, must exercise the functions of that career. It is my sincere wish that what you gain here will be a prime factor in bringing you happiness. contentment, and security in the years that lie ahead. Good wishes and good luck. G. W. HAVERTY 2T
