Apprenticeship at Havelock
Effective Monday a new Havelock
method was introduced into the machine
shops by tho master mechanic that
revolutionizes the old method of hand
ling apprentices When a yound man
enters tho Hhops to learr tho trade ho
will bo taught tho variou anohes from
tho ground up He will nifirst put on
ono of tho simple machines and when ho
Mias mastered that ho will move on to
the next ono and ho on till ho has com
pleted the entire round of tho shops If
ho does not prove himself capable of
running a machine to tho best advantage
ho will havo to stop down and make way
for the noxt man Tho idea of tho head
of the shops is to turn out a complete
and all around mechanic who when ho
finishes his trade will havo a knowledge
of tho whole business Heretofore a
man was usually placed in charge of a
maehino and kept there until ho had
served his apprenticeship and when this
was completed ho had no knowledge of
his work bo ond the maehino ho had be
come familiar with Lincoln Journal
