To-day there are more than 300,000 skilled mechanics and labourers engaged in building ships, and an additional 260,000 employed in making the v: ■ engines, boilers, winches, and other machinery v necessary to equip them. One of the first tasks of the Shipping Board was the creation of a division of education and training, which .:■■■■ has supervised the establishment of training centres and the development of instructors . , among the-foremen and superintendents. Training of the various kinds of shipbuilders in ; the yards is accomplished by putting the men « work on production jobs under the supervision of a yard instructor. This yard in- ; structor has full charge of gangs while they are learning. The efficiency of a green gang - ' ull der training will average about 80 per ■ cent, of finished workmen.
