RUSSIAN WORkINGMEN
formulate new PLANS

st. Petersburg. Jan. 4.-The gen.
eral meeting of the workmen : council
and Of representatives Of the proleta
riat organizations which was held
across the Finnish border lasted for
thirty.si hours, adjourning early this
morning.
The practical result of the meeting
was a confession that the government
had proved to be to strong in its fight
against the strikers and the proleta-
riat organizations, and that it would
be necessary to organize on new
basis the armed revolution to which
the delegates to the meeting We're
committed.
1t was admitted that the attempt TO
give battle to the government without
due preparations was mistake and
acomplete change in tactics was de-
cided upon.
4 new council Of workmen. consist
ing of $50 members. was elected.
Similar councils will be ordered ev-
erywhere. following which a general
courgess will be called and an elabo-
rate plan of battle against the govern
ment formulated.
In the meantime the propaganda of
the agitators will be kept up. espe-
cially in the army. in order to show
that the proletariat organizations are
firmly resolved not TO copmromise
with the government.

pied by the government, as many OF
the ablest leaders had either been
killed or arrested. He said that the
movement had cost considerable pres.
tige among the proletariat. and tina,
t the present system of repression was
persisted in it would be increasingly
difficult to disseminate the propagan.
da or further to organize. The main
danger was that the leaders would be
unable to gather sufficient force to
strike blow before the organization
of the douma.
Nevertheless he insisted that the or.
CARNATIONS he represented were not
discouraged, and that the fight would
be continued until the proletariat
achieved a final victory. He stoutly
maintained that the policy of repres-
sion to which the government had re.
turned only demonstrated once again
that it lacked the moral support OF
the public, and that the sole reliance
as of yore. was on its rifles and bay.
onets and cannon.
I'VE now see clearly said thi.
member of the workmen's council
that nothing definite can be accom-
plished by sporadic uprisings. The
possession of a city such as Moscow
or even ST. Petersburg, might no,
prove decisive. All Russia must rise
at the same time"

ATTACKS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
Present nethodS Tend 10 Create
Caste and Social Disorder.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-The present edu-
cational systems were attacked by
Rev. E. A. Paddock. president of the
Idaho Industrial Institute. in an ad.
dress delivered before the cooperative
class at the First Conversational
church. The speaker declared the av.
erage college graduate is complete
failure when called upon to make his
living by manual labor and the whole
educational system tends to create a
feeling of caste. He urged as a rene
dy that the students be required TO
devote at least half of the day to
learning trade.
Il believe the social disorders which
are prevalent in this country today
arise from the fact that our system OF
education is all wrong" he said
We are training one faculty only
and sacrificing the others. The rem
edy is to be found in half-tine
school where the student will De kept
half a day at his books and taught
some trade during the other half.
The half-time school system would
arouse wholesome feeling of respect
for fellow workmen and would tend
to break down the feeling of caste.
Many prominent employers have
told me the poorest Recommendation a
young man can bring them is his col.
lese diploma. The fault lies in the
fact that too much attention has been
paid to theory while practical work,
the thing most needed in the battle
with the world, is almost entirely
overlooked. Give the boy an educa-
ton. but give him also the means of
applying that education

An agreement will be amde shortly
it is expected, by which the United

Secretary Root and Ambassador Du.
rand, the diplomatic representative Of

ton of the revision Of the treaty Of
1877 limiting the armament Of each
power on the Great Lakes.
Then will be discussed the minor
questions in connection with the trans.

Canada is developing her manufac.
