Today with advanced tech- nological developments in the Gra- phic Arts, books, magazines, news- papers and all other types of printed matter are available quick- ly and inexpensively. The printing industry is divided into ythree branches according .to the' typé*ef 'work done. One sec- tion specializes in newspapers and magazines; tHe other includes main- ly book and job printing, and the third specializes in photo-engraving whiéh consists of the making of half-tones, zinc-etchings and ster- eos, All of these branches can be subdivided into departments using specialized craftsmen, such as com- positors, pressmen and bookbinders. In the bindéry department, women as well as men are employed. The boy who is interested in the Graphic Arts has several fields open to him other than those mentioned. A number of related occupations, such as photo-engraving, litho- graphing, and stereotyping, have developed rapidly in recent years and offer interesting and re- munerated work, Nature of the Work The following is a rough out- line of the printing procedure.
