the government has not paid enough

IScHOOL

LESSONS schools All of
these schools are crowded throughout
the year. and are annually turning out
thousands of graduates to begin the
struggle for supremacy in their chosen
professions. To them come all classes
of humanity at all ages. 1t is not an
unusual thing to find gray-haired man
studying medicine beside the youth OF
20. Nor are they patronized only by the
well-to-do. The poor classes of the for
eign element are sending hundreds OF
boys into them. seeking training that
will give them q place In society ahead
Of that occupied by their parents. The
instilling of American ideas into the
head of the man from Europe has given
him new ambitions for his family. He
il not willing that his son should fol-
low so closely In his footsteps as he
did in his fathers. The philosophy that
taught the shoemaker to stick to his
last has been swallowed up by ambi-
ton.
Another thing which tends to I'LL the
schools for professional training is the
tendency Of the labor organizations to
limit the number Of apprentices in the
trades. Employers OF union labor are
no longer permitted to employ as many
boys as they wish, but must limit the
number of boys according to the num-
Der Of men employed. For example,
in the printing trades there must be
but one boy for each i've men.

severe rain and wind storm came
On. Now, this young man was wear
