 and care for tools at 5$ for each work day he lives, what is 

 this training worth to a man in the course of 40 yr. ?

 EFFICIENCY MAKES KNOWLEDGE POWER 



4. It is estimated by a teacher of carpentry that the boy 

 without training in the use of tools wastes 2 in. on the length 

 of a board for each cut he makes with the saw. Estimate the 

 loss on 100 cuts of 6-inch lumber selling at $3 per hundred. 



5. If a boy who has been trained in the use of tools saves 

 $15 a year in the repairs and convenient articles made for 

 the home, what is the saving in 50 yr. ?
