Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers, the . largest building trades
local In the nation with 33,000
members, conducts a special
"how to think" course for its
class A craftsmen.
Each week, 30 "electricians
from the New York area arrive
at nearby Bayberry Land, to
study, read and spark their brain
cells amid the splendor of a 312
acre estate.
500 Take Think Course
Since the opening semester last
June, 500 electricians have faken
the one-week course. They pay
nothing for tuition, room or
board. In fact, the joint board of
New . York electrical industry
pays the pupils a week's waes,
$140, while they are out here
learning how to think.
The school campus was once
the summer home of Dwight F.
Davis, donor of the famous Davis
Cup in tennis and a former sec
retary of war in the Coolidge ad
ministration. The chauffeur's
cottage alone has eight rooms.
The main building is so large it
has 16 bathrooms-with-fireplaces.
It's a setting that would make
our wealthiest colleges ivy-green
with envy.
Local 3 picked up this prop
erty in 1950 for a reported price
of $140,000. It was used as a
convalescent home for ailing
union members and when this
need tapered off, business man
ager Harry Van Arsdale cast
about for a new use.
Concerned About Leisure
The "how to think" school was
set up because Van Arsdale was
concerned about the problem of
leisure time and how to get the
most out of it.
The electrician students, rang
ing in age from 25 to 70, study
under the direction of Donn T.
Coffee, a young instructor out
of Columbia College who guides
them through introductions to
psychology, semantics, logic, his
tory and economics. A basic book
is "How to Develop Your Think
ing Ability" by Kenneth S.
Keyes Jr.
Students, most of whom never
went beyond grade school and
did not read much beyond pulp
magazines or comic books, leave
the course carrying small librar
ies of non-fiction books.
Switch Reading Matter
Those who ordinarily read the
tabloid newspapers are given the
New York Times to read at the
school. Times readers try the
tabloids.
Another feature Is the "rumor
scene," in which a verbal ac
count of an event is passed along
by four men who were not eye
witnesses. The final version then
is contrasted with the actual
story. "This teaches the men the
pitfalls of using vague, abstract
and imprecise language," said
Coffee.
"The course," said. Coffee,
"deals with how little we know
rather than how much we know;
how to think rather than what to
think and how to improve our
ideas rather than merely prove
them.
"The school aims to get the
men to sit back and take a long
look at the process of thinking."

was a stepped-up campaign
against welfare payment frauds
was announced here Thursday.
A 25-year-old mother of five
children who gave her name as
Mrs. Barbara Hatcher was ac
cused of unlawfully claiming ap

State authorities said they first
grew suspicious of the young

a convertible. Her children have
not been living with her but
have been kept by their grand
