rate a system of genuine trade extension work with day classes in connec- tion with the Maple Avenue School. Here the worker and apprentice who is getting practical experience on the job in the actual atmosphere of the trade may come for a certain num- .ber of hours each week and with full pay while so attending, attend classes in related and supplemental work under expert teachers with large prac- tical experience. In some cases it will probably be advisable to teach some units of actual process work in the school In such cases the industry will be expected to furnish the equipment while the public school system fur- nishes teachers, class rooms and such line of equipment and supplies as are customary. A It will be seen that we have here a very happy combination. The school gives to industry the benefit of its perfected system of scientific grading and classification and makes available to the worker all that is new and best in the arts and crafts, accumulated from the best practices and teaching everywhere. The school goes on the job and into the shop and ascertains the needs and provides that supplemental knowledge relat- ing to the trades that no employer is in a position to supply. Getting this supplemental and related instruction in conjunction with the practical experience on the job, the student acquires a certain measure of culture and confidence in himself and takes an interest and pride in his work. The knowledge that he knows, or has the means of learning, the latest and best methods and processes in use throughout the world and that he is gaining a scientific knowledge of the origin, composition, history and manufacture of the things pertaining to his trade such as materials, tools and etc., gives to him a wonderful assurance and pride which makes his work a part of him. Everyone knows that the reason the oldtime apprenticeship system be- came unpopular was because the learner was indentured or bound Cen- slaved they came to term itl to the employer and that was repugnant, especially to the American boy. ln the trade extension system we get the merits of the apprenticeship system without the objectionable features. The interest taken by the employer creates a bond between him and the employe and the fact that it is all being done through the public school system, eliminates any suspicion of patronage, selfish advantage to any one employer over another or exploitation of any kind. This is a wonderful opportunity for the young men and women in the various trades in Los Angeles and will undoubtedly be hailed as a great boon by the employers. Page Eighteen
