DAYTON INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE
Dayton, Ohio
The Dayton Industrial Institute was established to replace the vestibule schools in the following plants: The Dayton Engineering Laboratories Co., the Domestic Engineering Co., the Dayton Metal Products Co., and the Dayton Wright Airplane Co.
Although the school has been fostered by the above companies, any manufacturer in Dayton is at liberty to send students to the school under certain regulations.
The Directors of the several companies thought it advisable to segregate the training school from the plants, and combine the school under one directing head. Most gratifying results have been obtained since the opening of the school January 1, 1918.
During the past seven months over 500 persons, from all walks of life, have been trained for factory work. About 200 of this number were women.
In addition to the large number of people trained, over 100,000 pieces of commercial product have been manufactured, which passed the most rigid factory inspection.
