'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
