matters pertaining to teachers and
their work.
At the morning session Miss Brooks
gave talk on what school children
should read and how their teachers
should aid and guide them in their
selections Miss Brooks has made
several talks on the matter Of reading
in which she deplored the fact that
the socalled popular and late novels
are more widely read than is good
for their young readers and rec
mended that the teachers do what
they could towards cultiyating a de-
sire for more instructive and sub
stantial sort of literature.

No boy should begin to learn trade,
unless poverty requires it, until he has
received good common school edu
cation; and, If possible, he should en-
ter some technical school to be scien-
tifcally treined for his work. Time
spent in technical school is not
wasted. 1t pays. Perhaps not during
the first year of active work, but dur
ing the second year its advantages will
permanently appear. The well-edu-
Gated band-worker is sure to outstrip
the unframed workman. 1t is a fact
that few well-educated and we'll
trained mechanics remain in the rear
ranks, and that most of them are
either front-rank workmen, or are pro-
NOTED to command.
Let us take two boys of equal capaci-
ty and Of equal trade opportunity. One
spends, say three years, in the tech
meal school. and the other enters the
shop Immediately after graduation
from the common school. The latter
boy has three years trade-start of the
other. At the end Of three years the
first boy, educated and school-trained
for his work, enters the same shop. In
shop experience he is three years be-
hind the other, and for one or two
years the unframed and unskilled boy
may be his superior; but at the end Of
five years the boy especially trained,
with a solid technical education back
of him, will outstrip the unframed boy
two to one, all things being equal
Education fits for experience. Ex-
perience seldom takes the place Of edu-
cation, and when 1t does, IT does so at
the expense of the individual.

NO CHANGE IN RECORDS NOW
Railroad Companies May Continue
to Use Present System.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Will Later Prescribe n Uniform
Method for Keeping Accounts.

Washington, July 31.-A circular
letter has been sent by the interstate
commerce commission to all common
carriers subject to the provisions OF
the recently enacted railroad rate law
directing their special attention to
the provisions Of section 20 Of the act,
which requires annual reports from
all common carriers concerning the de-
tails of their business, and providing
that the interstate commerce commits
sion may prescribe the forms of any
and all accounts, records and memoir
anda to be kept by the carriers. To
these accounts, records and memoran-
da the commission is to have &C
cess at all times and the carriers are
prohibited from keeping their ac-
counts, etc., in any other form.
The commission says In It's circu-
lar letter:
GAS to that portion Of section 20
of the act, which confers authority
upon the commission to prescribe
the forms of all accounts, records, and
memoranda and which forbids carriers
from keeping any other accounts, re-
cords or memoranda than those pre-
scribed or approved by the commits
sion the carriers are advised that un-
til the commission shall by order or
otherwise prescribe .the accounts, re-
cords or memoranda to be kept by any
or all carriers subject to the statute,
no change in methods of accounting
is required of any such carrier. On
and after August %, 1906, the author
ity of the commission to inspect the
books and accounts of the carriers
will, of course, apply.
"The commission fully realizes the
necessity of establishing as soon as
possible satisfactory system Of ac-
counting for carriers engaged in the
transportation of commerce under the
provisions of the regulating statute,
and has determined to proceed imme-
diately in the work of arranging and
preparing for the discharge of its duty
in the matter of prescribing such ac-
counts, records and memoranda and
requiring all practicable uniformity
in the accounting systems of the car
riers"

Finding a Level.

am not unfamiliar with the criu-
cism, which is sometimes merited, that
the technical school-taught boy leaves
the institute with a head out OF pro-
portion to his body, and considers
himself superior to manual labor. I'm
doubtedly this is the case in altogether
too many instances, but If the boy has
the right stuff in him this big-headed-
ness is only a transient afiiction, and
will do but temporary harm. The tech
nical school never made a wise man
out of fool, never made mechanical
genius out of boy who could not saw
board straight, and never will. 1t
simply gives the boy OF parts better
opportunity to use what is in him.
That Is all it can do, and that Is all
it should do. 1t is the boys business
to do the rest. The more thorough the
preparation, the greater the chance OF
success.
The rapid increase in manual train
ing schools in our cities and larger
towns has done much to properly fit
our boys, and especially our poor boys,
for lucrative positions. School boards
all over the country, and even In some
of the smaller towns, are beginning to
appreciate the usefulness of the tech
nical school, and are establishing man
ual training schools or classes. Not q
few of our manufacturing establish
ments are supporting training schools,
where the sons of workmen are edu-
Gated free Of charge, or at nominal
cost.
The future of American manufac-
lures is, to a large extent, vested in
the Misunderstanding and technical
school of to-day. America cannot hold
the position she has worked so hard to
obtain, unless she does more than she
ever las done before to educate the
young In technical matters. Within
the next few years expect to see a
technical or Misunderstanding school
located in every country center as
part OF the educational system. What
we have to do. we must DO; but let US
prepare for what we have to do, 50
that what we have to do may be ac-
complished at the minimum OF exhaus-
ton and at the. maximum Of effective
ness.

The man at the top, no matter what
his calling may be, Is man of mark.
The best shoemaker In town is not
often out of work. The best black
smith has about all he can do. The
well-intormed and reliable engineer
works on full time. He knows some
thing, and If that something be COM
modify, he is likely to be busy year in
and year out, and his earnings will
give him all of the necessities and
many Of the comforts Of life.
Electricians as a class are well paid,
because where experiences is required
good electricians must not only be
first-class mechanics, but must under
stand the principles of electricity. To
an extent, at least, they are expert
workers. The railroad engineer is a
machinist, but he Is classed above the
ordinary mechanic. He Is a man Of
nerve, Of character, Of presence Of
mind, Of discretion, and able to meet
emergencies. Without an abundance
of qualities beyond those of mechanical
ability, he would not be able to sue
