at Underwood ON the 2Oth was
his subject and iie said many
things which are absolutely alnl-

deny any connection whatsoever
with the business OF selling the

will have the chance to prove the

made against me.

at Underwood there will be no
further call for any more OF the

that those who are not blamed
by the people in general will not
be made to feel the effects OF any

of the same year eight lathes were put in.
New teachers were added from time TO
time, additional rooms were opened and
the enterprise grew from year 10 year in
spite of the lack of public funds, until the
opening of Manual Training High School.
The other source of the Manual Training
High School. the Mechanics Institute, bor
rowed its ideas from the "Old country"
and led a precarious life for five or six
years before it, too, merged its identity
in the institution of which it was a fore
runner. The expenses for its mainte-
nance were met by annual contributions
from members of the organization and by
a monthly tuition fee of % cents from the
pupils.
The 100 or more young men and boys
who received mechanical instruction in
this school met only twice a week-on Tues
day evenings and Sunday mornings. There
cling in clay, drafting and drawing were
the only branches taught. One of the
earliest teachers was Mr.. Vonnegut, the
architect.
OTTO STECHHAN'S WORK.
There was one citizen of indianapolis,
however, who realized not only the neces-
sity Of industrial training in this city, but
of its Incorporation into the public school
system. This citizen Mr.. Otto Stech-
han. and he is the originator of the bill
making such a step possible. In 1883 Mr.
Stechhan went abroad. and while in Ber-
lin he attended an exhibition OF the work
OF apprentices in which nearly every branch
of labor was represented. II was then that
he determined to do everything in his pow
er TO introduce the system here as il was
being practiced in France and Germany.
Upon his return home he was invited by a
committee composed OF members of the

Board Of Trade, the Commercial Club and

had been enlisted in behalf of the Mechap-
les Institute, TO address a general meet
ing of the public. especially directed to the
manufacturers of the city. The meeting
was failure. The public did not put in
its appearance and the manufacturers man
ifested no interest whatever.
The meeting of the Central Labor Union,
which was held a few months later. met
with better success. 1t was well attended
by union men. Mr.. Stechhan's proposition
was new to them and indorsed at once,
although there was some misunderstanding
as to its purpose which some took to be
scheme TO train apprentices. This came
out in the remarks that were invited after
the address. Mr. Stechhan's main idea had
been to make the manual training a part of
the common school system.
Mr.. Stechhan'S next step seemed an easy
one, for the five representatives from this
county to the following state Legislature
stood principally for labor interests. There
was not one of them, however. that did not
show unaccountable unwillingness to

ing into the schools and il finally had to

tive Folk. of another county. The bill car
ried with it 5-cent tax.
IN THE LEGISLATURE.
This happened during the stormy last two
or three days of the session, when it looked
almost like an impossibility to obtain a
hearing. A ruling had been made, more
over. that bills should be presented only in
alphabetical order, and il was only by win
ming the interest of the speaker of the
House and Lieutenant Governor Chase
then president of the Senate, and of in
ducing them TO waive technicalties that the
measure was put through. The speaker
promised Mr.. Folk that if he would stand
upon chair to propose the measure he
should be recognized. This Mr.. Folk did
and amid a storm of objections the bill was
passed.
On Feb. IS, 1895, when the present NJ. T.
H. s. building was opened. manual training
became a part of the high school course
Besides drawing. bench work and turning
were the only branches offered. This is
now practically the first years work. II
was al this time that the Mechanics In
stitute abandoned its own school and
turned over all its equipment to NJ. T. II. S
| and that the manual training was trans
ferred from the other high school.
The fear that some of the union mer
seem TO have had that this kind of training
would turn out too many mechanics has
not been realized so far in the working out
of the school. Manual training has a dis
tinct value to many who will never become
| mechanics, and those who do will always
find plenty of room for their ability

upon Miss Cora Auten, the hand
some daughter of Philip L. Auten, the Chi
cago millionaire.
A year ago Perkins created sensation
in Chicago by entering Miss Auten's room
in the family residence at 314 Ashland
boulevard. There was a struggle, and
Miss Auten locked herself in closet, from
which she was rescued by a policeman.
Later Perkins was tried before jury for
his sanity and was released.
While the Auten family was absent from
their residence in Pasadena last Thursday
afternoon Perkins succeeded in entering
and concealing himself in the house. That
night about IL o'clock Miss Auten heard a
knock on the door of her room. Thinking
IL was one OF the family, she opened the
door and found herself face TO face with
her persistent prosecutor, Perkins. AS
soon as she recognized the fellow Miss
Auten screamed for help. and, as on the
former occasion in Chicago. when he con-
cealed himself in her room, Perkins sue
ceeded in making his escape before Miss
Autens father could go to her assistance.
Since this last attempt on the part of
Perkins the house has been we'll guarded
by officers. 1t was expected Perkins would
return the following night. when prepara-
tions were made 10 give him warm re-
ception. He did not appear. however and
on the complaint sworn out by Mr.. Auten
the man was located in Los Angeles and
put under arrest.
Perkins began 10 annoy Miss Auten with
his attentions over year ago in Chicago.
when he accosted her one day on the street
and declared his deep love for her. She
fled. Afterward he persisted in following
her on a bicycle, and in speaking TO her
whenever he could get an opportunity.
Notoriety amt annoyance. IL is said. have
nearly driven the Auten family frantic. IL
was hoped that Perkins had ceased his
demonstrations, but he evidently followed
the family TO California for the sole pur-
pose OF gaining a chance 10 pay court to
the woman for whom he claims he has an
unQuenchabe love.
