WASHINGTON, Sept. 23—Records
: of the United States shipping board
show that, through the education and
training section and the Industrial re
lations group, the Emergency Fleet
Corporation hus taken 10,000 abso
lutely green men and made them com
j petent shipbuilders
! Many never before saw a ship. In
1 eluded among them are clergymen.
| physicians, lawyers, college professors,
high school and grammar school
teachers, traveling salesmen, clerks,
street car conductors, real estato
agents, contractors, bank clerks and
Insurance agents. Out of sueh ma
terial as this the yard Instructors arc
finding mechanical ability which is be
ing utilized to build In record time
r gigantic merchant marine.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
has established twenty-one training
centers in the various shipyards, and
at these courses in building ships are
j given applicants, a majority of whom
became competent workmen in a sur
j prisingly short space of time. One
! of the largest of these training cen
| ters is at Hog Island shipyard, near
Philadelphia. At present about 1,201)
green men from all sections of the
United States are striving to acquire
the fundamentals of a specialized
trade in shipbuilding. The trades
taken up at the school include rivet
ing. chipping and caulking, drilling,
reaming, ship carpentering, erecting,
and the preliminaries of shipfitting
and pipe-fitting.
II depends entirely on the individ
ual intelligence and application of ill*
1 student how long it takes him to pick
i up the trade tie lias selected. Usu
ally it requires from two to four weeks
lor a student to prepare himself, al
though some grasp !he fundamentals
in a much quicker time. After serv
ing an apprenticeship of ten days to
1 two weeks in the training school the
j student is turned over to tin* produc
tion foreman and put to work on the
ways in the shipyard. During the pe
riod of training the students earn
fiom 50 to 65 cents per hour. When
they go into the shipyard for actual
productive work the amount they can
earn depends on their individual abil
ity.
The education and training section
still is accepting students for this
training and is offering opportunity
to men in all occupations to serve
the country by Joining the necessary
work of turning out ships.
