Excerpt from General Foundry Practice
Once a habit of study is acquired, the learner will work out his own path, and his training will have so increased his powers of observation that his daily experience will call for wider knowledge; when he has attained to this stage he may safely be left alone. It must not be forgotten that even seven years' apprenticeship, with attendance at evening classes and home study, will not make a complete foundryman. Knowledge is not easily gained, and training is never complete. It may be thought that the outline here given is too much for an apprentice after doing a full day's work in the foundry.
Naturally, it involves considerable strain, but the authors are advocating no untested scheme.

Excerpt from General Foundry Practice
In the last twenty years information as to.the properties and uses of metals and alloys has greatly increased, as is testified by the high tension bronzes, the better qualities of cast and malleable cast-iron, and the great development of steel castings. In the literature of the subject much valuable matter relating to the scientific aspects of founding has been published, but much also that is confusing and misleading, so that the founder must be on the alert to winnow the chaff from the grain and absorb the latter. The young moulder of today enters a splendid heritage, which, however, involves high responsibilities, and his aim should be to continue the work of the past. Every moulder may become a pioneer and any real advance, however slight, will bring its own reward.
