CUTTING TABLE 'CLIPPINGS.
Duties of a, tailor's apprentice at Che
mavva and deportment' necessary .in the
tailor shop :
Your duty to your instructor requires
you to treat him with respect.
To conform to the established rules
and usagesvof the shop
To do your work the best you know
how with both head and hand. To show
a disposition to learn by being attentive,
industrious and respectful.
By being respectful to your shopmate
and considerate of his rights and privi
leges you invite his respect for yourself
and obtain it by your right conduct.
If you are working at the cutting table
and a student is turned oyer to you to
measure for school or uniform clothes,
do not consider it a joke. You are be
ing prepared to fill the position of a cut
ter a very profitable position in the
tailoring world.
To be punctual is the rule of kings.
Be on time. When the whistle blows to
begin work hurry to your shop and im
mediately commence work time lost in
useless preparation cannot be gained or
the loss overcome. 4
When you enter your shop, do so
quietly; and when you leave it, do so
quietly. It indicates good breeding and
careful training and who among our
promising boys does not wish to appear
to be a young man of good manners?
Under no consideration whatever
should you wear your hat in the house
or under cover. Remove it. By doing
so you immediately proclaim through
your , conduct that you are civil
ized. By not doing so leaves the, ques
tion in doubt.
Exhibit, work is being prepared in the
different class rooms.
