All these exhibits are thorough in explaining the course of nianufacture of the articles. ln connection with the niuseuin a small. reference library is being started which contains literature bertaniing to the exhibits and their relation to coin- nierclal geography. VVC are proud of our collection and are constantly planning to add to the same, so that future Mcliinley students may profit by it. , Mr. S. King, Principal of McKinley School. Dear Sir:- Perhaps you would like to hear about Erhart's progress, since he has left your school. As you reineniher Erluufl was only ll years old when l1e graduated. I. had a prohlein ahead of ine to locate work for him. He finally secured work as stock boy at Hengerer's in September. He was well liked, and attended continuation school each week. His tracher there secured a position at the M. 8 T. Trust Company as niail boy for two weeks where he acted as trotter. lle was at the bank one month when he got a position at the King Manufacturing Corporation in the drafting rooin. He has advanced from S148 per week to rl-114 since September. He will follow up his course at night school when Mcliinley opens in the fall. He has never been late or missed a day at work. ln looking over his class book this inorning fl noticed that the title to his picture is Shorty, the little boy with a big future. l thought it was very true. l cannot praise the teachers, principal and school too highly and hope Ralph, his brother, will ilnake a good student when he enters in another year. My best wishes to McKinley and its workers and teachers. 'Yours truly, llarriett XV. Schlenlier April 22, 1926. Principal, Mcliinlcy Vocational School, Buttalo, N. Y.
