PRINTING As a Prevocational Subject RINTING combines virtually all the desir PRIN able features that are required of the ideal manual activity in education. Printing is an art in which the raw materials are words -words of all languages-requiring in its finished product a utilization of the principles of nearly all academic studies. Included n these studies are grammar, reading, spelling, punctuation, word division and capitalization. Printing is a manual activity that dovetails in with nearly all educational devices, yet it provides an opportunity of teaching the technical processes of an art in which the opportunities for employment are unlimited. As a Vocational Subject HE Printing Industry needs workerscompetent and well-trained men in all branches of the industry. This situation offers a splendid opportunity for schools to train direct for an industry which ranks fifth in importance in the United States. Employers and employees are fully alive to the seriousness of the shortage of workmen in the printing and allied industries and probably would welcome a suggestion to co-operate in apprentice education. Several schools are now furnishing education in printing. Information regarding these schools and suggestions regarding co-operation between educators and the printing industry will be sent on request.

Catalog Free SPENCER LENS COMPANY BUFFALO, N. Y. 12 Weeks in the Hospital SHE HAD NEVER BEEN SICK BEFORE You will be interested, we believe, in this extract from a letter received from a teacher in Wisconsin: "I was sick with bronchitis, and received your check before I was back at school a week. Because of the kind letter that preceded it, it seemed more like a friendly society than a business organiation. It certainly is ideal, I think. "I am considered a very strong woman and never have ill health, but one of the teachers here whom I wanted to join, too, never had been sick and felt secure. She spent twelve weeks in the hospital here with a day and night nurse. Dreadful expense, maybe she will join now." LET THE T. C. U.
