INSTRUCTOR BUILT SUBS

When ill health compelled Lawrence Lupton to give up making submarines for the British navy, he looked for some other war service within his power to render, and found it in instructing returned soldiers, in the military hospital at Saskatoon, in the vocational training branch of the military hospitals commission's work.
His expert knowledge of motor mechanics is now being turned to the instruction of men who must learn a new trade because of their injuries, and he has been made head of the mechanical department.
There he teaches motor engineering, screw cutting, tool tempering, turning and fitting, bronzing and soldering. There are a score of men working under him now whom he will turn out finished mechanics in their own chosen lines.
