PART TIME COOPERATIVE ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIAL COURSE Edward B Flaherty Coordinator g l Electrical instruction was incorporated as a vital part of the Charlestown High School curriculum in l9l7, and has now achieved a maximum enrollment of l2O boys Some of the outstanding advantages of this part time cooperative electrical course are Boys learn the electrical trade from a natural setting When they reach the age of sixteen, they are gradually placed in industry They work each alternate week in outside electrical establishments the other week is spent in school studying related, academic work This outside of school employment makes a smoother transition into the working world That a more adult point of view is gained by this definite ontact with business is shown by the serious attitude of the cooperative boys toward their academi work and, also by the desire to fulfill graduate requirements with high standing Sin e the pupils work for wages, a feeling of self support and independence as well as a realization of the value of money, is developed If their progress and workmanship are satisfactory the boys often obtain permanent employment in the industrial establishments where they have trained . When the pupils of the cooperative course fulfill the requirements of the twelfth grade, they are given a certificate indicating achievement. However, they are also obligated to put in the fifth year Qanother year beyond high school requirementsl in industry, in order to round out their electrical experience and to realize the objective of the cooperative course, that is, prove themselves capable artisans at their chosen trade. On the satisfactory completion of this fifth year, they will be given a diploma which has the same prestige as that Cawarded by anyl other course conducted by Charles town High School. When the cooperative pupils are in school, they are encouraged to participate in all extra curricular activities. ' 9 9 ' 9 I' S W MS ' ' A .
