During their first year as apprentices,when they must be sixteen years of ageor over, they receive two hours in-struction per week; from then for thefollowing two years, four hours perweek is given, divided into two ses-sions of two hours each.

EachDecember an examination on the gen-eral progress of the classes is held,scholarships being presented to thefive boys with the highest marks. Allapprentices are also eligible to competefor the two scholarships offered by thecompany covering four years freetuition in the Faculty of AppliedScience of McGill University. It will thus be seen that generousencouragement is given to every boyentering the Winnipeg shops as anapprentice, and that no effort is sparedto turn out in the finished article athoroughly well-trained and usefulmember of a trade, and it must be saidthat the boys themselves appreciatethe efforts of the company to this end,and evince a willingness to learn, anda
