'mhz Enermax Textile education in the United States dates back comparatively few years, but in this short time the worth of the instruction given by these schools has been shown. It was at first thought that this field could not be entered through the doors of any educa- tional institution, but that one had to approach by means of the mill only. Today this has been changed through the establishment of textile schools which offer ah intensive training in the manufacturing, dyeing and finishing of textile fabrics. Many people have tl1e impression that only theory is taught at a textile school but the time in school is equally divided between the classroom and the machine room. The students run all the machines, pull them down and assemble them again, and make all the settings. In the dyeing department the students dye, finish and mercerize the cloth in their own dye house with standard equipment. ' By combining theory and practical work the student receives a training that should make him competent enough to enter any Held of the textile industry. He should however, at the start not ex- pect high positions but be contented with an oppor- tunity to advance on his merits. n PAGE EIGHT

51112 'fgeamer FOREWGRD The work of producing this book has been hindered by many obstacles, the limited time being the greatest. The biography section fol- lowing represents many hours of work, particular attention being given to the elimination of remarks which might hurt a sensitive nature. No attempt has been made to reduce the individual thesies to a set style, but after read- ing them you will be convinced that measures have been taken to prevent undue criticism or praise. V A flattering write-up often suggests sarcasm, while one revealing petty shortcoming, and satirizing a man's mistakes is a positive indica- tion that he is well liked by his classmates. The publication of this book was made possible by the advertisers and contributors, so devote as much time to the reading of the last few pages as you do the first. Patronize them when you have the chance. of PAGE SEVEN
