Jefferson Printing: Depart ment Furnishes Big; Job. Last of 3AOA Coplee of Annual Report Delivered Studrnta In csurw Get Paid for Overtime and Vaually Get Good I'saltlaas. BY VALMA JONES. PRINTING as most of us assume, has not been an art since the be ginning of time, but was a medieval invention of 1450 by a man named Gutenberg. And on down through the centuries different Inventors have add ed to the original model until we have the present printing machine. The recent publication of the Twenty third Annual Report of the Portland public schools brings this to our mind. This year It lias 176 pages with in serts and 12 cuts, and was printed by the Jefferson High School printing press. The last of an order for 3500 copies was delivered to Superintendent Alderman's office for distribution Mon day. On this Job alone Jefferson saved the school .district $400. Three expe rienced men are employed all the time and the rest of the work Is done by the boys taking the printing course. When the boys work overtime they are paid accordingly. At present they are working on a 96 page Spectrum, which will be published this month. The students are especially coached on ad writing and general publicity work. O. W. Athey, president of the western division of the International Association of Printing Instructors, is the instructor. A great many students from this de partment are now holding positions in Portland, among them being Clar ence Hogan. with J. R. Rogers Print ing Company; Charles Fox. with Wad hams A Kerr Company; Albert Ritter. with Beattle Sc Hoffman: others with Irwin-Hodson and the Meier & Frank Company. Many of the boys did not return to school this semester because they had positions in the various print ing establishments. The -Jefferson Press does all the printing for the school. It saved the School Board 100 per cent rand the senior classes 25 to 40 per cent on paper by laying In a sufficient supply to last two years before the advance In paper. Requests for samples of their work from New York and other Eastern cities are received every year. Benson Polytechnic (Boys).
