Necessity for Industrial
Training in Schools ~
THROUGH self-activity under the necessity oil
BY MISS CLARA ISABEL MITCHELL,
school Of Education, Unlversity Of Chicago.

TROUGH self-activity, under the necessity of
food, clothing, shelter and companionship, the
human race has educated itself out of savagery
into civilization. In the getting and cooking OF
food, the making of houses, the weaving of
clothing, and adjusting himself to the habits of
other human beings, man has gained the knowl-
edge Of nature and society," and grown to the
power of self-direction which constitute his pres
ent state of culture. His activities set in motion
under the pressure of necessity, have developed
and multiplied with use. The rude strength of
the primeval hunters, fishers, farmers, and shep-
herds has grown, with experience, into the skill
and art of our civilization 'Ff a.<
This has been the educational process
through which our race has passed-SELF-

ABOUT ISSUING BONDS.
The Question Asked, What Amount Is
Ardnore Entitled To.

nc GuENhRW FNfNNNf
Ardmore Entitled To.
The councilhas voted to issue Sl75f
600 s per cent bonds. The writer has
asked some of the members how they
make their calculations and arrive at
the conclusion they can issue that
amount. and was advised by those TO
whom he talked that they did not
know; that the mayor figured II out
and that they took his statement for
II. Are they right. Can they. under
the law. issue this amount of bonds?
And II not, what amount can they is
sue?
The act Of congress authorizing cit
les and towns in the Indian Territory
to issue bonds provides such bonds
not to exceed an amount, the interest
on which at 8 per centum per annum
would be liquidated by a tax OF 3
mills upon the dollar Of the valuation
Of the taxable property in such city
or towns 20 be ascertained by the last
Assessment for purposes OF taxation"
II is plain from this that the amount
OF the last assessment and no future
or prospective growth or increase in
values fixes the amount. The last as.
sessment shows a valuation of about
S1.754.OO A 5-mill tax on this
amount would be Ss,77O. This being
the interest at per cent the amount
of bonds would therefore be S175,00
II this were all we would be flying
high. nut this Is not all Section of
the same act provides that any mu.
nicipality incurring any Indebtedness
for the purposes provided for in this
act, shall by ordinance which shall be
irrepealable, provide for the collec-
tion OF an annual tax sufficient to pay
the interest on such bonds as the same
falls due, and also TO pay and dis.
charge the principal thereof within
twenty years from the date of con
tracing the same"
Now, the same act authorizing the
issuance of the bonds requires pro-
vision to be made by an ordinance
which cannot be repealed for the levy
and collection of a sum of money
sufficient to pay the interest as it be.
comes due aud a sinking fund sufh.
cient to pay the principal Of the
bonds in twenty years. This would
require one-twentieth or per cent
| of the amount OF the bonds to be
placed in a sinking fund annually. II
the city could invest this sinking
fund in interest bearing securities
and compound It, then It of course
would not require level per cent
But a municipality only has the pow
ers conferred upon it by law and in
the absence of law authorizing sucl
investment cannot make IL. The writ
er knows of no such law. The maxi
mum tax rate is per cent This Il
fixed by section IA OF the Curtis bill
Our present levy is S1.3O, this leaves
mills more the city can levy. A Z
mills levy on present values would be
S12,27S. Dividing this sum equal,
between per cent interest and
per cent sinking fund the amount o
bonds would therefore be si22,7SO
If this is right an issue in excess o
this amount would be without author
ity of law and would probably resul
in litigation and population. If Tn,
writer is wrong he would be glad I,
be put right, for his interests are ii
and with Ardmore.

tie will do-and to the under part of
the cork attach bent pin. To the pin
tie a piece of thread long enough to
reach three-fourths of the way down
the inside of the bottle, and to the
lower end Of the thread fasten any
small object, say a shoe button, to
make the thread hang taut.
Insert the cork and seal it with wax,
and say to the company that you are
going to cut the thread in two without
opening the bOttle,-in fact, without
touching the thread.
To accomplish this, you need read
ing glass, or sun glass, an access to the
window where the sun is shining clear
and bright. The feat is more mystify-
ing if you perform this part of it in
private; so you go to the window, hold
up your sun glass so that you can focus
the rays from the glass directly on the
thread through the side of the bottle,
and in a short time the heat from the
focused rays win burn the thread in
two pieces, the end from the button
attached falling to the bottom of the
bottle. Then go back to the company
with the bottle, and they will see that
the cork has not been moved, and yet
the thread is cut.
