THE TIMKEN ROLLER BEARING CO.
Canton, Ohio
We have established a Training School which has been in operation for the past two or three weeks.
We do not feel as yet that we want to make any extensive comments upon the results secured, but we believe the idea is fundamentally correct, and hope to have recorded sufficient data of interest in regard to the school so that we will be in a position to answer any questions that may be asked us.

For your information we wish to advise that we have started a training school for girls in our plant, and we find that it is working very satisfactorily and we expect to have in the future 50 to 75 per cent. of our work completed by girls. The writer has noted your talks and writings on this subject and is trying to follow out your ideas as near as possible.
