From the list it appears that out of 1123 Class A member companies we have only 149 companies represented in the course. While many companies conduct their own educational courses it is apparent that there is still a large number of the smaller companies that have not taken advantage of this course. These companies should appreciate the fact that the course is particularly designed to be used in conjunction with any other educational work, while it can be used as a separate course. It has been found there where some one person in a company takes an active interest in putting the course before its employees there is no difficulty in obtaining subscribers and in organizing a class. The methods which have proved most successful have been the use of literature supplied by the Committee, department meetings for presenting the subject to the employees, with special articles in the company publications over the signature of some executive of the company. Methods of Financing Several methods have been adopted by the member companies to assist their employees in taking advantage of the cash price of $12 for the course. A method which appears to work to the best advantage of all parties is for the company to advance the $12 cash price for each employee, which price is returned to the company by the employee in monthly payments of $2. This enables the Association to keep at hand sufficient funds to carry on the course, as well as encourages employees by showing them that the company has an interest in their progress and development. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the present course be kept open to subscription up to the limit of the printed copies now on hand. The success of the present course has encouraged your Committee to outline a larger undertaking along educational lines. It is recommended that the educational work of the Committeeee be so standardized as to make it practicable to add special courses in any branch of the business for which there appears to be sufficient demand. With this point in view we present the following outline for additional courses: COURSE IN MAGNETISM AND ELECTRICITY Principles of Magnetism No 1 Natural and artificial magnets; permanent and electro magnets; law of magnetism, magnetic materials ¤ (milaw- Measurement of Resistance I's meaning and use, problems; electrical units Single and polyphase generation Prin iples of Alternating Current Generators The transformer, principles of design and construction; use Prep'es of construction and use Proles of Alternating-Current Motors Principies of destruction and use of single and polyphase motors Frinciples of Direct Current Motors es of construction and operation of series, compound and treatise on the varius arc and incandescent lamps in common use ;es of 11! smiration ams of fatration curves, proper use of glassware, ch. ire of ****s tjes, etc Matern Lighting Practice git. g of reu fer tes, theatres, stores and factories.
