THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
CUTTING TABLE CLIPPINGS.
The tailor shop is pleased to report
the receipt of an order from the office
to measure for, cut, trim and make a
suit of clothes to order for each boy in
the graduating class, such order to be
filled before July 26, '08.,
We are also instructed that each
graduate may select such style of gar
ment that his good taste may suggest,
and we are pleased to note that these
young men are well informed as to the
correctness of present-day fashion by
their choice of fashionable suits to be
designed, cut, trimmed and made by the
apprentices in the Chemawa tailor shop.
It is under such circumstances that the
result of patient and careful training,
such as our grand industrial system af
ford?, is made plain to those interested
in the making of the mechanic of the
near future.
A glimpse into the tailor shop at this
tiriie would convince anyone that these
young boys are destined to make their
way in the world by their knowledge of
their chosen trade.
The cutting table is occupied by sever
al boys whose ages vary from 14 to 16
years. They perform the skillful task of
cutting these clothes for their fellow
schoolmates, and later thev will sit at a
work bench and by their understanding
of garment constructing manufacture
the same into a stylish and; presentable
piece of work which in civil life would
have a commercial value.
On the morning of July 1st, '08, this
task was commenced and it was an exper
ience for which 1 am thankful. There
were present 16 boys who are competent,
more or less, and seven youngsters, mak
ing a total of 23 boys present. ' Each
boy was so intent upon his' work that
perfect order prevailed. It was a hope
ful condition of things and was only an
other evidence that the busy boy be
comes the desirable man.
