Abstract :
Practical training course in lighting, under the joint auspices of the Illuminating Engineering Society and the Lighting Bureau of the National Electric Light Association, has been established, and, as a result, sixteen men were recently registered with twelve actually completing the course. A most enjoyable instruction and inspection tour was held October 6–26, through places of interest in some of the principal cities, Chicago, South Bend, Ind., Detroit, Cleveland, Washington and New York, by which the students were afforded opportunity for personal observation of the essential points in this field. The necessity of such a course was the outcome of discussion of the Lighting Bureau in 1922, leading to the appointment of a special committee by the chairman of the N. E. L. A. Commercial Section. In 1923–4 arrangements were effected with the Illumination Engineering Society to undertake the conduct of this training course.
