Below is a list of men from the Norton Co., Worcester, taking a
summer course in the Worcester Trade School to qualify in an eight
weeks’ course as all round machine hands. Five other factories are
sending similar groups of employees. Their wages will soon be from 30
per cent. to 100 per cent. more than ever before, which indicates in
a measure their increased service in the war emergency.
Could anything indicate better than this group in training for all
round machine hands, and the statement of their previous experience
which follows, the necessity of bringing men like them into our
factories, first giving them an intensive training which develops
their latent abilities?
