excess Of any earlier year in their his

II To- thus apparent that the fire.
Quently expressed belief that the in.
crease In prices Of Iron and steel and
manufactures thereof In the United
States would cause an immediate and
plainly perceptible decrease in our eX-
portatlons was not justified. The cor
responding rise in prices IN other
parts Of the world and the continued
Increase In demand for products and
manufactures Of this character fully
onset the increased prices and increased
demand at home; and this combination
OF an unusual demand from the home
and foreign markets upon our manu-.
faoturers readily accounts for the FREE
Quent reports OF shortage and supplies
OF material and inability Of American
manufacturers to promptly fill all or
deFs received.

or those girls, who 20 through school

in one way or another, are making a
great mistake. This very thing Is Civ
Ing us many Idle young ladies and gen.

Of a position. Business you see. And
SO this Is going on and on In our city,
Young girls are being put into our

They hardly know the meaning OF the

the order in which the powers Of the
child mind 10 developed. And still we
wonder why our schools do not take big
strides forward!

How to Keep Our Boys in School
Long Enough to Receive a Good Bush
ness Education. If Nothing More" 10
stlll an unEolved problem. The Amer
lean boy Of to-day Is peculiar product.
He ID a man too soon. He knows more
than his parents or teachers about what
Is for his good. He wishes to enter the
race Of life before he Is prepared for It.
He wishes 10 begin to make money,
never thinking that by remaining IN
school a few years longer his power for
making money Is greatly enlarged. Our
people need education all along these
lines. Parents should see that their
boys remain in school longer than they
DO. The writer approached parent
not long ago concerning his boy. who
had quit school, urging to send him
back. He was surprised to get this
reason assigned for his son quitting:
my boy never intends to teach school.
I expect him tonake his living by work,
and he has education enough. The
daughter Of this same man was going
on through school. az he expected her
to teach some day, Now this Ii the
selfish side OF the matter, and this side
generally rules in the race Of life. Did
this parent but think for moment he
would know that his way would be
much better prepared for money
making even II he had finished the pub
lie school course. How much We all
need education along these lines!
