will use "on the job" is most desirable.<br />

3. ILLUSTRATING<br />

This is really another m~thod of showing. For purposes of instruction,<br />

"illustrating" means charts, diagrams, blueprints, sketches.<br />

Many a worker has had a point made clear -to him by a sketch scratched<br />

on a cement floor, piece of boiler plate, or side of a casting.<br />

wIllustrating" is a most valuable tool that is used countless<br />

thousands of times every minute throughout the shops of the Nation,<br />

it.<br />

are framed so that a "yes" or "nou answer cannot be given. Ques-<br />

tions which begin with such words as "What," "Who," "When,"<br />

"Where," "How," and "Why," cannot be answered in this fashion.<br />

- Stimulates his confidence by affording him an opportunity<br />

to show his own knowledge.<br />
