Excerpt from The General Electric Review, 1918, Vol. 21 T 0 take boys of sixteen with only a gram mar school education and make them into skilled mechanics in four years is the function of the apprenticeship system of the General Electric Company as described in this issue. We invite the attention of our readers to this apprentice work, as it deals with one of the problems confronting American industry, especially during these war times. The creation of skilled workmen from school-boy raw material has its patriotic features: 102 graduates of this apprentice course are now in government positions, mostly in arsenals and navy yards, turning out muni tions and accurate scientific instruments which will conserve lives in the army and navy. In order to provide adequate facilities, such as modern machine tools and school room and laboratory equipment, for the thorough training of the apprentices, the greater part of a million dollars has been spent; and during the four years that the boys are serving their apprentice course they are paid from $2100 to $3200. Therefore, for those boys who are unable to go to college these apprentice courses are Obviously a happy combination of industry and instruo tion. Statistics are included showing the earnings and positions held by many of the apprentice graduates, and the author points out that, in all probability. The trade which these boys learn will not become Obsolete for many generations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The General Electric Review, 1920, Vol. 23 With the termination of hostilities, the Electrical Industry, as the result of its pre vions intensified efforts in research work and constructive production for war purposes. Found itself possessed Of a rich heritage of scientific achievement, much of which could be practically applied to meet commercial needs. Even at the beginning of the first year of peace, the readjustment to a peace basis. Which had begun promptly after receipt of the news Of the signing of the armistice, was well advanced in many lines. Thus, projects which had perforce to be abandoned during the war, were again carried forward. And. Combined with the urgent requirements of reawakened industries for electrical appara tus, resulted in an unprecedented volume of output by the end of the year, despite the unfavorable conditions at its beginning.

Excerpt from General Electric Review, 1913, Vol. 16 This, in brief, is the ground which will be covered; and at this time it is not necessary to deal with the separate items of the agenda in any greater detail. At this time, however, it emphatically is' necessary 'to advertise thoroughly the fact that such business is toward, and to impress 'on all interested parties the fact that these questions of ratings, standards, temperature limits and measure ments, and so on, are really vital questions which must receive adequate discussion; that there is now an opportunity for adequate discussion Which cannot, in the nature of things, recur for several years; and that any hasty formulation of rules, as has already been abundantly proved by past Institute experience. Is capable of more harm than good; is frequently productive of doubt and confusion, and at best can only be an imade quate method of meeting the present needs for revision. The invitation to contribute is a wide-open one, and the circular which has been sent to all the members gives a pretty good idea of the subjects upon which opinion is required. If, rnembers with something to say have no time to prepare papers, or no facilities for obtaining the data upon which good constructive criticism of existing rules and methods can be based, let them content themselves for the present with marking up the date of the convention; let them make arrangements now for being in. New York on the 26th of February next; let them formulate their opinions now so. That, when they receive their copies of the papers, they may, as far as possible, be ready with some helpful discussion, which contributions can then, be distributed before the convention date.

Excerpt from General Electric Review, 1922, Vol. 25: A Monthly Magazine for Engineers I wish only to add one thing more, and that is to point out the wonderful opportunities which modern industry offers in its research laboratories to specially talented and most highly educated technical graduates. The colleges must, I am sure, be most liberal in providing instruction and laboratory facilities for the growth of such picked students. And in inspiring them by the work and example of a few really great teachers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
