"They will be given bench work, instruction in lath> and drill cperations, the use and operaâ€" tion of the shaper, and some may be given training in the operation of the milling machin>. It will preobably mean some additions to the teaching staff. "They will be _ taught how to read blue prints and will be given inrstruct= ion in simple, applied mathematies.
