that the miners will return to work

all the miners who suspended work on
April / and those discharged for stat

BY adopting Mr.. Mftchel's recon-

To The "stnre strucko Girl.

A young girl who thinks Of adopting
the stage as means Of livelihood must
consider many things The most Inn
portant of these is-herself. Strange
ly enough, this will prove more diff
cult than it appears to be at first
glance Introspection is not easy 1t Is
sometimes very unpleasant There is,
moreover, mo definite method by which
an uspirant may learn whether or not
she has dramatic ability. She must
not simply think that she has, she
must know 1t. A 'stage-struck" girl
should never allow herself to enter the
profession until she has conquered what
may be simply impulse. To discover
afterwards that her inspiration was
based merely on desire, and not on self
knowledge, is a serious thing, and the
realization often comes when it is too
late to turn back. To such a one the
future will loom up ominously; years
filed with dissatisfaction and hard
work will come and no great success
will be achieved. At last hope will die.

Ian Maclaren of Liverpool, England,
will be the lecturer extraordinary in the
Western Theological seminary next year.
The New York Herald has been offer
ing prizes TO the school children of the
city of New York for the best exercises in
the Metric system.
Connecticut has authorized the local op-
tion system as to the furnishing Of free
text books, as the general election showed
seventy-three townships to be in favor Of
free books and forty-four against them.
The public school authorities of Column
bus, Ga, have ordered all teachers to
hold special exercises on the Confederate
memorial day, June 3, and on the birth
days of Lee and Davis, and to explain
their meaning.
Supt Jordan of Minneapolis opposes
the plan of the national board for the
promotion of rifle practice to have target
shooting as a part of the public school
curriculum. He says, 1T is not within
the scope of school training, which should
teach the ideals of peace rather than
those Of war;"

confidence. Ten days ago, after their
original demands had been rejected,
they abandoned their previous claims
and presented two new propositions,
asking for a sliding scale increase of
pay or an advance in wages of 10
cents a ton upon the total production.
These, too, were rejected by the operat-
ors, who announced that the utmost of
their concessions would be a renewal
of the agreement reached by the an
thracite strike commission and limit
ed arbitration of new issues that have
arisen since the commissions award
was made
With the stipulation that the men
who quit work on April 1 be taken
back, Mr.. Mitchell advocated the ac-
ceptance of these terms. He recon-
mended this course, not because he con-
sidered the miners original demands
unjust, but because he believed they
are not In condition to carry a strike
to success and would be defeated if
they undertook one. Eve must retain
what we have" he declares, rather
than lose what we have gained in the
last two strikes" This is the counsel
of leader who is looking for practi-
cal results and sanctions only such
measures as will be likely to bring
them.
From the outset offers of arbitration
and other conciliatory measures have
come from the miners side. Their eff.
forts having failed, they announced
themselves ready to accept present con
ditions rather than plunge into ruin.
