For Thousands of years appienticeship has been the
most effective and important method
of training skilled craftspersons. Today,
L
as they have througlrthe ages, apprentices learn the
skills of their chosen trades through productive work
and under the guidance of highly
skilled, workers.
,...,
.
,A system that can endure for so many
years ob%iousty offs significant advantages and
/ rewards
to those who participate in it.tTlie on' o'rtunity to#parn while learning,
increased
opportunity I for adva,ncement in the trade, greater earning
power, and job satisfaction are all
benefits derived by apprentices.
As a teaching and (earning system based
on cooperation etween labor and management,'
.
.,/
apprenticeship must offer advantages for emPTO3ers
1. Productive work and.mainte-
ak w
nance of a supply of highly skilled labor are strong incenb%
for management's participation
in apprenticeSbip.
_._
,
..-
Finally, apprentiCeship benefits society in general. Quality
.
goOds and products, an ongo-
ing
suppiy of qualified workers, produ'ake citizens, and opportunities
for ethnic minority
.groups and' women are among the ways in which.apprenticeship positi% ely affects
local
communities, states, and the nation.

On-the-job training has always been the foundation
of-apprenticeship, but modern
,
apprenticeship- programs include another dirtiensioh
classfoOm instruction designed to
sup-
plement the apprentipe's jobsite learning. This classroom instruction
is a vital part of the
training program-, because the abundance of information needed by today's skilled craftsper-
sons to make decisions and perform the work of their trades cannot be covered
adequately at
,,
'the workplace alone.
.
The job - related. courses in all trades
are highly speCialized, and adequate training materials
,are riot always available from commercial publishers. Irk such cases the Department of
/ Education, at the request of and in cooperation with
labor and managemenCrepresentatives,
develops training materials`guch as this worcbook and makes them'
vailable at cost. Every
effort is°
lie to ensure.. that these materials
o
Are clear and comprehensive and that they
provide ,a
prentice's with the mist up-to-date inforrriation possible
on their trade
Tilesetti
is an old and hotTored profession. -Like all apprenticeship
programs, the tileseta
.ting progra
mands hard work,- both on the job and in the classroom The
challoges that
you will face in, the next three years as a tileZc,tting Apprentice will be exacting
ones. During
the difficult times, I encourage you to remember file advantages
"'
of apprenticeship cited
above. Keep .in mind that your wbrk and study have
a purpose-4o help you become an
artisan in a highly respected trade and a productive citizen.

The California State Department of Education, through
the Bure. u of Publications,
provides .for the development and production of instructional
mate_ials for California
apprentices under provisions of the California Labor Standards
Act. Funding for these
activities is provided through a self-perpetuating
account established to help serve as many
zipprenaceable, trades as possible in the state. The materials,
are sold at a price based on the.
costs to produce and distribute them, and the proceeds are returned
to the special apprentice-
ship account for use in further development
or revision of, materials.
Producing or updating materials involves
a jOint effort, by the Department of Educpion
and employer employee gro-ups repregenting a,pprenticeable.trades.
The process begins with
a request for services from recognized industry representatives,
es, usually a state joint wren-
ticeship and training committee:Trade representatiN,es and
Bureau of Publications personnel
.
review the request to determine (I) the availability of
adequate training materials from
cotnmercial publishers or from other states, and (2) the economic
feasibility of thelproposlil.
Once the neerfot materials hag been determined,
an ad hoc statewide educational advi-
sory committee for the industry is formed. This committee, composed of-equal numbers of
labor and management representatives, meet's with publications
personQe1 to determine the
organization of the material, its technical
content, and other details.
Generally, a journey-level person is selected to
prepare a manuscript. This practice helps to
ensure that the content is as up to date and accurate
as possible. The manuscript is prepared
in accordance with the requirements set Barth by the educational advisory
committee and the
guidelines provided by the Bureau of Publications. Bureau personAl=also
confer periodically
with the writer to proyide technical and other assistance in tlre.iwritin'g
process.
'Manuscripts approved by both the educational advisory committee
and the /Bureau' of
Publiwcations are then edited, typeset, illustrated, and prood by publications
personnel. The
author and' the educational advisory committee review the cameroready
copy for technical
accuracy before it is delivered to the Office of State ,Printing in Sacramento, for printing.
All apprenticeship work books,--testbooks (if tests
are not ilcluded in the workbook), final
examinations, and answer keys are warehoused, sold, and Atributed
at,cost,by the Bureau
of 'Publications.
This revised edition of Tilesoung was produced in' the
manner described above. It was
planned and approved by the California State Educational Advisory
Committee for the
Tilesetting Industry. The chairman of this committee
was George Lavenberg of Lod Angeles.
The other members included James Feruzzi, L6s Angeles; Jack Howe,
Sacramento; Erich
F'aarsch, Los Angeles; Spiro Papadakis, Pacifica; Edward
Pitton, Sacrarriento; and Leivis
SwinneS', San Diego. Special thanks are expressed
to these individuals fok their4nvaivable
contributions to the revision effort.
