New York Navy Yard Training

Original Caption: The first day of training begins at 8 am., and will continue to 5:45 pm. The length of the period of training will depend on the individual girl. When each is found ready for actual work, she will be placed in the part of the shop where her capabilities may be used to the best advantage. The girls are shown in the front row of their first class, where they are learning trade terminology. Teacher Thomas Broadbent is pointing to the words he has written on the blackboard.
