WHITE Director of Education and Training A dm in istra tion The Administration of the Apprentice School is based on the idea that it is im- portant to the Company, the Individual, the Community, and the Nation that there be skilled workmen performing the tasks so vital to the well-being of all involved. Skilled craftsmen don’t just happen. They have to be trained. That is where the Ap- prentice School fits in. There was a time when what little “training” a young man could obtain was acquired by looking over the shoulder of a skilled mechanic, for whom he ran er- rands and performed many menial and distasteful tasks. Of course, that is how the mechanic learned and in time (a mat- ter of many years) the Apprentice would learn too.

The other way was to permit the trainee to practice the craft under trained super- vision. The program was set up in three basic steps — -(1) present the idea, (2) per- mit the trainee to accomplish the idea, (3) correct whatever faults remained. It soon became evident that this meth- od was not the most satisfactory since it consumed a great deal more time and was actually less effective than another. Having set up this basic program, it was deemed desirable, if not necessary, to supplement it with training for leader- ship and good citizenship. Around these fundamentals was built the Apprentice School by the foresight and dreams of many faithful and hard working men. The people pictured on these pages are those appointed to see that the ideas and ideals developed by those men of vision are carried out, and the graduating Ap- prentice is, in part, their product also.
