The first Ort Trade School in Montreal today opened its doors for 88 students who work in two shifts. A third shift of 50 students will begin its training next week.
The school has been supplied with machinery valued at over $100,000 by the Canadian government and the graduates will later be absorbed in the country’s war industry. Louis Fitch, K. C. is president of the Ort organization in Canada.
