Ellis A. Gimbel Suggests Plan
at Cup Presentation at
Central High
THINKS FIRMS WOULD AID
The creation of n department fur (lie
training of lieys ntid glrh In practical
mcrrlinndlsliiB wns today nrRcd by Kills
A. Gimbel In nn nddresi lieferc IiIrIi
ncIioeI students and lonelier nt Central
High Scheel.
The occasion was the annual presen
tation of the Kills A. Olmbcl silver cup,
which this year geei permanently te
Central High Scheel because Its foot
ball team lias wen the high school
championship three ears In stteccslen
niter ten wears' competition. Mr. Olm
bel presented the cup nnd also pres-nted
rnlnlaturc geld footballs te members of
the winning team. In addition te thl
ceremony, he suggested the Installation
f the new department ePIcanilng.
"He have In Philadelphia." said Mr.
""nucl, "10,000 wholesale concerns,
..JI.OOO retail concerns and lTi.000 manu
facturing places, or a total of fiS.OOO
merchandising buBlncses. T i net
Knew the total sales of all these estab
lishments in n year, but It Is safe te
assume tbcv run Inte hundreds of mil
liens of dollars. Considering this,
Mieuldn't this element of our civic life,
this unfolding phase of our iiHinIeip.il
progress be recognized in a definite way
in our public schools?
Cenrrnu Would Ce-operate
"I hove In mind the creation of n
department in our high schools for
training our youth in merchandising.
1 believe many of the 58,000 concerns
would enthusiastically co-eperntc with
the schools in giving practical meaning
te the work by emplejlng the students
in their plants et hours and at seasons
best suited te the schools and businesses.
Thus while the students were learning
theory they would also acquire prac
tical knowledge of the business. At
the end of college llfe students could
enter business better equipped thnn they
arc today te become executives. They
vteuld earn mere money from the start.
They would have n better sense of busi
ness value from the beginning.
"The business world is always look
ing for youth with keen minds, ener
getic manner, ambitious outlook, cind if
the youth of our high schools could be
given the business intelligence which
euld come from n study of the vwin
clples of business leadership, business
development nnd organization ideals
they would ns the jcars go by give
fresh momentum te our munhipal prog
ress." Mr. (ilmbel's plan would be te open
this subject te both boys and girls se
they could he trained te become busi
ness executives. He is cemlnced this
movement will become nntien wide, as
school beards and met chants realize the
practicnl alue of it.

His scheme would include ns part of
the tiaining courses in :
