 "Alexander Southern Thweatt tells this on his rivals and himself: We all were working our hardest for a negro delega- tion that wanted to travel to a certain point in Arkansas, and the usual exhibits were made. every passenger agent swear ing his was the shortest route. took the chairman aside and said to him: Look here; you don't want to take any short route. See what you miss! You don't travel every day. Take the longest route and have a look at the country. I'll take you by way of - and - each" naming half dozen cities-'give you all a good time, and land you at your destination nearly as soon as if you travel by air lines" It caught him and I got the delegation.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

The fine technical school in Newark NJ which
we printed description the other day NAV be
taken, we trust, as a sign Of the times. II is 2
sign OF the most profitable and significant
change ever effected in the conditions and char
acter OF human industry. Speaking recently
az the formal opening OF a somewhat similar in
stltuuon In Manchester. England the British
Prime Minister described that change as one
IRON the prescientifc to the scientific stage
ana we are not sure that a more lucid or ac-
curate definition could be made A century ago
Tor we must turn back so far TO comprehend
the change-empiricism still bore SWAY. Men
worked by rule of thumb and made experi-
ments, and copied the works of their predeces
sors. Boys were indentured as apprentices. and
had TO serve for the prescribed number of wears
as inexorably as a prisoner serves his term of
sentence before they could work al their trades
as Journeymen. So too, the lawyers clerk be-
came in time a lawyer, and the doctors pupil
a fully hedged physician. In recent years we
have come pretty generally 10 a recognition Of
the fact that the scientific training of a uni
versity school is desirab BILE for members of what
we still call the learned professions, and now it
is increasingly felt that systematic and scientific
instruction in what we still call the trades or
technical industries is similarly desirable. This
new point of view is due partly to the great
change involved in the development of steam
power and the factory system, partly 10 the
foundation and development of the chemical
and electrical sciences and their application 10
the arts, and partly TO the increasingly scien-
tiic bent of the modern mind
This change in Industries and in the method
Of fitting men 20 engage in them is so closely re
lated 10 as 10 be identified with a no less srrik-
ing change in what we may call the balance of
industrial power. Mr.. Balfour, in the illumlnat-
ing and suggestive address to which we have al
ready referred. frankly declared that the pre-
scientific era was a time when Great Britain
was the first OF industrial nations and all the
rest were nowhere but with the coming Of the
scientific era that time has passed. never TO re-
turn. He might further have pointed out that
Great Britain was being overtaken and out
stripped in the industrial race that such was
her fate largely because of her neglect of scien-
tihc technical education, and that her most sue
cessful rivals included those nations which
were paying most attention to such education
II viii be remembered that the late Mr. Mum
della first attained prominence in British pol
lucs as an insistent and persistent advocate of
industrial education. aided if need be. by the
state he was voice crying in a wilderness
OF Infatuated conservatism. and because he was
N advance OF his time and was regarded as a
'1addist' and a hobby rider" his counseIs
were disregarded and his wise plans came 10
nsught. But to-day, with the ominous legend
