Clyde doesn't pretend to conduct a “fancy” school. Youll find no glass-topped desks, no leather uphol- stered chairs: no venetian blinds at | his machine shop spanning the] Gamble mill race just north of High street, But in the welter of grease-soak- | ed benches, machines, metal shav- ings and tools, youngsters from Cen- tre county towns and farms learn] in a remarkably short time just what the heads of the nation’s big war industrial plants want them to, know The proof liks in the fact that] ! arls vor Neary evry per who has come at Swartz's shop WOT pleted the course has landed a job in an industrial plant. It is claimed that graduates of many a fancier school in the na- tion have diplomas but can't get jobs beacause they haven't the proper {type of training Commenting upon this condition Mr. Swartz decldres’ “What good is a training course of this Kind if the graduates can't * get jobs after | wards?” Clyde was well ahead of the rest of | {the nation in forseeing a probabie | shortage of skilled mechanics, for | as early as November 1, 1940, he es- | { tablished, on his own initiative, a] training course for men and boys. | This class finished its work on April | | ternoon {| Bellefonte Y.
