By J. W. JIM. A few boys have made members of the Oregon Society of Engineers and the Tortland Trades club sit up and take notice,' These boys, former students at the Portland: School of Trades, are em 1'ioyed l(i architects' ffiees, in machine and plunthjnjf en ops, 'as' foremen -of bridge and construction crews all mak iiiff pood to a degree that recently, de- i tded the .Engineers' ; society and the Trades club to .visit the school and bo- nrinA lutttpr arnuante.Vi -with it ninth oils and needs. These men already know hometliing about the school's product, The visit has been arranged for next Tuesday. v nen tne srnooi or trades was or ganised in 1908 the general Idea was that it would be useful in handling the t delinquent boy. The girls; department was added the following year with somewhat the same Idea as to girls. But a-visitor to the school should abandon the delinquent boy and girl theory un less lie wishes a coo) reception from the students. , ' v School Wot a fonnatory. There are no delinquents In the school, and they are ticklish to the suggestion that their school has any 'Yeform" char acteristics. The dignity of skilled labor and the advantages of "character are l-.rld In high regard. The boys and girls are so much In earnest that school gov ernment has become practically auto matic Instructor are busy teaching rather than disciplining. - - - - , A trip through the building during F'-hool hours Illustrated the attitude -t the student to his work. Forty or fifty boys were busy in the drawing room, and of that number not more than two or three looked up for even a casual glance. The rest were too busy at their desks. , When this year's class of 35 boys and girls Is graduated the total number of graduates will approximate 85, to which number should be added many not able . to complete full courses. . - ,- Good jobs await the boys, the arrange ment with employers being that any boy recommended by the school shall start at net less than $2 a "day As a matter of fact.no boy sent to a Job from the y 11 ilild , j 1 1 n ' ' V - " ' ' ' ' ' !

The general aim of the school may be easily understood, but one is apt to be overwhelmed by inspection of things the boys, some of them yet in knee trou sers, have done. , . Perhaps their most ambitious under taking Is a 70 horsepower gasoline tn- glne now being built. The engine Is to be supplemented by a 30 kilowatt gen erator, engine and generator to be com pleted in time for use at the San Fran Cisco exposition.

These cranes are for actual use -not play things -and in building them the boys are paving something like $600 to the taxpayers. ; Much of the machinery used in the school was madc-by the boys, and the machines are standing up under their wook. A five horsepower steam engine is well under way; a small gaso line engine Is befng assembled,, and the tool room Is well supplied with dies, taps, standard gauges and other tools. some listing In the catalogues aa high as $60 apiece, all made by the boys.
