Is Technical Education Needed ?

II has been pointed out frequently that
the Industrial supremacy OF the United
States Is most seriously threatened by
Germany. which. II is freely asserted. is
certain ultimately to surpass the United
States. for the reason that infinitely more
stress is laid in Germany upon technical
education than in this country. SO mucn
has been written upon this subject that
that unless this country follows the ex-
ample of Germany. and takes steps to
insure more thorough technical education
to the workinsmen OF the future. Ger
many vii, take the lead.
The other side OF the proposition is now
pointed out In recent article by Dr.
vosherg- Rckow. the eminen, German
economist. who says:

luton the United States has the fore

FROM THE PEOPLE.



To the Editor: The achievements Of the
late Henry Willard az railrotd magnate

fame that comparatively few remember
that he Yves one OF the famous and most
capable war correspondents of eur civil
war--one who knew intimately many OF
the great historical figures OF that time
and who was in the thick Of many bait
ties. He has left behind him his mem
oirs OF that period. which. when pub
lished, win form valuable contribution
to the history of the war.

The center OF population does not seem
to have moved West as rapidly during
the past decade as many people expect

steadily Westward at each successive
