We, therefore, feel quite fortunate to be able to have the U.S.C. conduct this course of instruction at this time.

"This course has been successfully conducted l>y manv of the leading schools of higher learning during the past year or so. During that time the experience gained has been reflected in improved curriculum. This, we believe, rvill be to the benefit of the students.

"Many complimentary remarks have been made about the course by pleased Executives who had some of their employees take the course. Besides, those n ho have completed the work have said they gained more knowledge in 30 days by taking the course than they have gainecl by lvorking tu'o years in a yard.

"'The guides for conducting this 30-da1' course, as rvell as the lecture outline and improved text books, have been carefully prepared and are now reacly for use.

"The course has been approved by the Veterans' Administration for training of veterans under Public Larv No. 346. This means that tuition fee, text books, necessary instruction, and sustenance in the amount of $90.00 per n.ronth for married unemployed veterans, and $60.00 per month for single unemployed veterans vi'ill be paid by the Veterans' Administration.

"This course is open to all emplo)r'ees, or prospective employees, of any firm in the lumber industry. The instruction course rvill be conducted jointly by the faculty o{ tl.re University of Southern California and a staff of competent instructors from the industry, u'hose vital and practical approach to the subject provides students rvith firstl.rand inftirrnation regarding the u'ork they are to do.

"Full advantage is taken of displays, films, and other vis- ual aids availlble for instructions. Field trips are taken to nearby retail lumber yards and millwork plants, and also to construction sites. Examinations are given throughout the 30-day session, and a certification is issued for satisfactory completion of the course. However, University credit will not be allowed toward a degree upon completion of this training course," Mr. Hamilton said.

The course content will conform in general to the following schedule: fn order that U.S.C. may stay u'ithin its budget allonance, the course rvill not be started unless there is an enrollment of 20 students or more. f)ealers .ivho l,ish to enroll students in fhis course should advise the Association at a very early date so that proper arrangements can be made, The address is 111 West 7th Street, Los Angeles 14, Calif.

'The classes will be scheduled to run each day from Monday to Friday inclusively during the hours from 9:00 a.m. to noon, and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., with a three-hour study period.
