of disi:ipline the>’ had
i;
-r—sr
like to add at this time that he
did riot even -scratch the surface,
which is the main purpose of Srriy
writing this letter. I want alt Ag
gies is well as others to know'all
the facts before they release their
automobiles for work by students
at the Southwest Technical:
School.)
After my automobile had been
at the school a couple of weeks, I
was notified by means of;a postajl
card that I would have to dejiver)
another piece of sheet metal . in
order 1 to complete the work on iny
car. According to the policy of the
school, the owner of the Car fur
nishes the necessary materials
whereupon the school does the: nec
essary work without charge. When
I delivered the sheet mttal, the
instructor admitted with some; re
gret that one of the other
which ;j( had' delivered before
been stolen. I took the irifor
and the loss without complaining.
• M i !
Abdut one week before Eaitar,
I went out to the school ihgain to
see what progress had been mlade.
I found that the fender had been
straightened and the bohlyjwprjc

car would be ready to which he
said he would trjr to have it out
by Easter. I received a postal card
April if-that my bar was ready.
When, I went put the following
day, my car; was ready insofar as
the school Was iconcerned. With
rill due respect tri the honest stu
dents at the SWTS, I would like I
rto point) out jthe true conditions as |
ithey exist at thjt school. My car j
was ready insofar!as the body work '
arid the painting was concerned.
Howevefl, something else which
must be said and! which is of such
vital importance to anyone who is
going to take hh, car there is what
one might find when he goes out
for his [car which is ready accord
ing to the schoo| . : ]
Upon! [looking over my car, I’ll
admit that tihe students painted it
well and repaired the body. Some
of the other things which had been
done were the following:
