Volume I Number 5 P R O M O T E D HARRY BARKLEY Popular Instructor Transferred to Dearborn Trade School Graduate Has Enviable Record of Promotions Harry Barkley has left the Trade School to take charge of the ex- perimental department’s tool room, at Dearborn. Harry came to the school in 1918, and was 14 years old at the time. From the very first it seemed that he had caught the spark of am- bition, because he received good marks in all his subjects. In 1922 he graduated, and his merits being recognized, he was made an in- spector in the shop. However Har- ry was not satisfied to get stuck on one machine. He insisted on being moved around from one de- partment to another, and in that way became very adept at all branches of tool making. Follow- ing are the departments in which Harry has .bean an instructor: Ma- chine Construction, Lathe, Shaper and Grinder. Not satisfied with his duties in the shop, Mr. Barkley took a four year night school course consisting of business and factory manage- (Continued on Page 6) Henry Ford Trade School, December 10. 1926 New Artisan Office The, Artisan has moved into its private home way up in the world: directly at the head of the North stairway, on the fourth floor, of the school building.

Basketball Season Opens With Call for More Star Players Hurry up, fellows, report for practice! Coach Crawford cut the basket-ball squad down to thirty men on December 6, 1926. The average turnout each night before was sixty. If you are a player of more than ordinary ability, report, —it’s not too late. The present candidates have plenty of pep, but pep alone will not win games. They need some shining stars to follow. The hopes of the team are very bright. Combine them with hard work and you have a very promis- ing future. A few football men are expected to report as soon as they recuper- ate from their strenuous and suc- cessful season. Season Ends With Victory Reading High Outclassed by Artisan Warriors on Thanksgiving On Thanksgiving Day the Henry Ford Trade School defeated Reading High School by a score of 18-0 in an exciting game of football at Read- ing. Michigan. Wonderful playing was displayed by both teams during the game. Steady gains were made by the Artisans in whose possession the ball was kept most of the time. Read- ing tried desperately to make a touch- down in the last quarter of the game, but was unsuccessful. First Quarter Capt. Stanfield won the toss and chose to defend the west goal. Mar- chand then kicked off for the Arti- sans. Reading received the ball but made no gain. A punt by Stanfield was caught by Nagel, but the Trade School was unable to make a gain on it. Nagel then punted to Stanfield, after which Reading gained steadily but finally had to give up the b’ll The Artisans then made several large gains and Balslcy went through for the first touchdown of the game. Reading caught the hall on their thirty-yard line and returned ten yards. Casey recovered a Reading fumble as the quarter ended. Score: T. S., 6; Reading, 0. Second Quarter Steady gains were made by the Artisans at the beginning of this quarter, but an incompleted pass and a penalty cost them quite a bit. Read- ing was unable to gain and punted. Behind splendid interference, Pope made a thirty yard run for touch- down. Reading then received the ball (Continuel on Page 6) Rales for Cartoon Contest As announced in th e last issue, boy cartoonists now have a chance to be- come rich by winning prizes in a con- test which is open to all Trade School boys.

JOSEPH WALEK Next Year’s Captain Deserves Honor of Team Walek's Election Creates Great Enthusiasm On December 2, the varsity foot- ball squad of 1926 gathered for the purpose of electing a new captain. Bill Grose, the 1926 Varsity captain passed over his leadership to Joe VValek. Walek has been a brilliant player the entire season and certainly . deserves the honor which his team- mates have bestowed upon him. We regret the passing of Bill Grose from the Varsity line-up, for his wonderful playing ability, aided tby his unfailing cheerfulness, helped Coach Broker build a team which worked as a team and not as eleven individuals. The prospects of next year’s eleven is still unknown, but it is hoped that the Varsity men who have another year on the team aided by the material from the various sections will uphold the school’s record of producing a good team. Walek was captain of the MT’’ section team last year and has proved himself a very capable lead- ex on the gridiron.

(Leii cwi November 26, 1926 FOUNDRY NOTES To most of the boys the sand in the foundry is just plain sand. They do not realize that because of its importance this sand must be care- fully selected, and to do this, much experience is required. The mould- ing sand used conies chiefly from along lakes and rivers, the princi- pal sources being Albany, New York, Hudson River, Sandusky, Ohio, and Ottawa, Canada. Moulding sand must possess cer- tain properties. When properly moistened and rammed it must be cohesive enough to withstand hand- ling. It must be tough enougt to allow the metal to run over it and not cut it, also refractory enough to withstand the heat of melted cast iron, 2500 degrees F. It must also be porous enough to allow gases and steam to escape. A good sand will bake a little under heat. Moulding sand should consist of from 80 to 90 per cent silica (SiOz), 10 to 20 per cent of clay, with a small amount of lime, magnesia and metallic oxide. Sand should be spread out and sprinkled so that the moisture will penetrate evenly through the sand. Mixing the sand with shovel or machinery unifies the moisture and tends to equalize any difference in sand quality. The hand test is the oftenest used, and a foundry man can tell very well the fitness of the sand by the way it leaves the fingers and 6ticks together. Sand weakens by daily use. The clay or binder burns out. Good sand should have sharp edge grains, but these become rounded by use, causing poor co- hesion. New sand added to worn out sand rejuvenates it and makes it fit for continued use; in fact, old sand maintained in this way makes better and smoother castings than new sand. There is no essential difference in the sand used for brass and iron moulding. For-steel, the silica con- tent must be higher. It should be about 98 per cent in order for the 6and to be refractory enough to resist the intense heat of the metal. The smoothness of the casting depends largely upon the size of the grain of sand used. A smaller grain sand is used for finer work. Core sand is selected the same as moulding sand. The composi- tion of the core sand used in our foundry is 30 qts. of lake sand, 30 qts. of river sand, 1 qt of linseed oil, which acts as binder, and V 2 qts. of cordex. AN AWFUL THOUGHT When the golden sun is sinking And my mind from care is free, Comes a thought that sets me think- ing Of tomorrow’s geometry. ERVIN POPE. Tool Exhibition Shown Students in Shop Talks Dept. Interesting Micrometer Gauges Among Starrett Tools An exhibition of Starrett tools has been received by the Henry Ford Trade School, and is now being shown in the Shop Talks depart- ment. Some of the more interesting of the tools on exhibit are the United States Micrometer Caliper Gauges, which were designed to meet the requirements of the government. A queer tool in the display is the Inspectors Micrometer Caliper Gauge. Among other interesting tools or devices are the Toolmakers Buttons, used for jig and die work, and a pin vise which may hold a victrola needle and is used as a scriber. The Trade School is very thank- ful to Mr. Findlay and Mr. Leidey, the representatives of the Starrett Company, who gave us the oppor- tunity to display these tools. The Trade School, at various times, has also displayed Brown and Sharpe, Lufkin, and Slocum tools. iiimiii ystematic aving pells uccess You will appreciate these words a few years from now.

It was interesting to watch the re- action of “W” Section, on Friday, November 19, to the musical pro- gram given by our orchestra. This reaction showed distinctly the atti- tude of the American young folk of today toward music. The first program was classical with the exception of a lew popular numbers, and to all appearances it was a success with the student body. The second entertainment was planned as a combination of jazz and classical music with the classical music at the beginning of the program and the jazz following. It was very evident from the applause that the latter was by far in greater favor. It is not always best to give a per son exactly what he desires. It is true that to satisfy one’s immediate longing, one must have what one wants. Is it the thing, however, that is good for him? To cite one case of a great many like cases—Must one let small boys eat green apples if they cry for them? Darwin, though his theory is ques- tioned, was undoubtedly a great thinker and a man of superior intel- lect. It is he who once said if he had his life to live over he would spend a portion of each week read- ing good literature and listening to good music. A noble idea is ex- pressed in these words. To live a truly worthwhile life one must seek and enjoy the pleasures that embody the most beauty. The average Amer- ican who is always in a hurry is very prone to look at the sensational thing: and lose sight of the really big ones. True it is that jazz is a component part in modern civilization, but it is sensational and has no real substance. A person can listen to jazz over the radio for hours and receive no lasting impression while, on the other hand, a person who Ins found a liking for good classical music can be enrap tured by a good symphony orchestra and the results live a long time after- ward. Do s it have a lasting goed The Artisan effect, is a tost of the worthwhile things about us. The Trade School Orchestra is en- deavoring to be at its best by play- ing good, substantial music waltzes, the better popular pieces, and the lighter classics. The boys have labor- ed hard to elevate the standard of the school in this respect. It is for you that they are doing this. A Man and His Reading By Harry Emerson Fosdiek Something very significant has hap- pened to a man when he realizes that in books the greatest souls of the world will come to call on him as though there were no one else on earth whom they had to call upon. “What do you read, my lord?” said Polonius, and Hamlet answered, Words, words, words.” Many4 a modern victim of the invention of printing might say the same. With all the reading that is done, how few people know the experience which made Mrs. Browning say, “No man can be called friendless who has God and the companionship of good books.” Some books are our servants. They run errands for us. They are men- tal drudges. They bring us- informa- tion ; they tell us news; they keep us up-to-date; they equip us for our trade. But the great books are not our slaves; they are our masters; we sit at their feet to learn. Ix ok, ’ they say, and looking, we catch new visions of life’s significance. “Con- sider,” they say, and considering, we are captured by a new truth and our spiritual power is multiplied. A man’s life is made by the hours when great ideas lay hold upon him and except by way of living persons there is no channel down which great ideas come oftener into human lives than by way of books. Said Charles Kings- ley. “Save a living man, nothing is so wonderful as a book. Many people shrink with a kind of modest reticence from claiming the greatest books as their own. They think that the great books are for scholars and specialists, not for plain people. Upon the contrary, the spec- ialist has his library of learned mes- sengers to run errands for him and for him alone, the engineer his books on engineering, the economist his books on economics, but the great books are for us all. They spring, not out of specialties, but out of the depths of the human heart. When Macbeth sins and his conscience faces remorse like a tide returning to a shore, wc all know what that means and whenever a great creative book strikes a deep note it is sure to be dealing with an elemental experience which is shared by us all. A signi- ficant day dawns in a man’s life when he says to himself, “The supreme books of the world belong to me.” Illuminating The Law The supreme penalty is called for when the car carries no head- light and the driver is all lit up. HANKING FROM THE BEGINNING Courtesy of Highland Park Slate Bunk The Birth of the English National Debt, and the Founding of the Bank of England (Continued from Last Issue) In January. 1672, when the Mint contained some 1,328,000 English pounds of bankers’ funds advanced to the Government, Charles II acted on the precedent set up by his father. In the pay of the King of France and conspiring against England’s safety, he had promised by way of repayment to produce a war between England and Holland. Like many another spendthrift he ran out of funds, and, completely losing his head (in the common metaphorical sense), executed his most brilliant raid upon the Mint, seized the funds, and closed the Exchequer, prohibiting its rc-open- ng in order to prevent the mer- chants from cashing their tallies. This famous raid has been known in history ever since as “The Stop of the Exchequer.” This seizure proved to be a seri- ous matter for all concerned. The money, though advanced by the bankers to the Government, repre- sented the fortunes of some ten thousand individuals who had en- trusted their funds to the gold- smiths. The bankruptcy and ruin which followed Charles’ raid was therefore widespread, and so serious that an attempt was made at par- tial reparation—an attempt which resulted in the birth of the national debt of England. Charles, in his proclamation closing the Exchequer, declared that the money he had taken would be retained for only a year, but his promise failed to come true. The Government paid six per cent interest in the seized funds for six years, from 1677 into 1683, after which these interest pay- ments stopped. No interest was paid during the following short reign of James II, and it was not until another revolution put Wil- liam of Orange on the British throne that real reparation came into sight. An attempt by the Government’s creditors to get restitution by action through the courts at first came to nothing, since it was ruled that Charles II. and not the Govern- ment headed by William, had made the seizure. Years later the House of Lords upset the court decision and partial restitution was made. Before the end of the litigation was in sight a plan of settlement, based on the creation of a regular Government debt and a bank of issue, was put before Parliament by an obscure Scotchman named William Patterson, who was backed in h's efforts by a number of rich London merchants. Taking advan- tage of the need of the Govern- ment for money, Patterson, in 1692, offered a plan whereby the credi- tors or their assignees would fore- go the interest on 1.340,000 English pounds owed them, and would ad- vance another sum equal to their principal if six per cent should be secured by act of Parliament, and the bills of the company be made legal tender up to the total amount. Parliament objected to the legal tender feature and nothing was concluded for a year or more. The plan was revived, however, by Charles Montague, Lord of the Treasury, who sent for Patterson, to whose assistance later came the astute Michael Godfrey. A loan to the Government of 2.000,000 Eng- lish pounds at seven per cent in- terest was contemplated at this meeting, but the low rate of inter- est seemed so preposterous to royal ministers accustomed to waste. nearly half the proceeds of a loan in extravagant commissions, that they turned from Patterson’s plan to other ways and means. Two years later the Patterson- Godfrey plan, revised, was carried through a scantily attended session of Parliament as a rider to the Ways and Means Bill. It emerged May 4, 1694. as the charter of “The Governor and Company of the Bank of England.” under the terms of which charter the company was al- lowed to lend the Government 1,- 200.000 English pounds, was auth- orized to issue notes, deal in bul- lion, and to make advances on mer- . chandise. Because the bill to which the Bank Rider was attached levied tunnage duties, the hank itself was long known as “The Tunnage Bank.” Thus England acquired a na- tional debt and a central bank of issue—unforeseeable fruits of the tyranny of the Stuart k'ngs. Another installment of this series will appear in the next issue. ■iiiiiaiiaiiinaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigiiaiia ■ ■ |Skates and Shoe; Outfits I $4.95 and up | !
