BLIND FROM BIRTH.
Yet He Graduated From the Univer-

Chicago. Dec. 1S.-George Rex
Clark, blind from birth, graduated
from the University of Chicago with
an A. B. degree, after a college life
full of unusual experiences.
Like Helen Keller, he made mar
velous advancement in his studies and
found time also to take up biography
and typewrtting. He was also one OF
the most loyal rooters of his class on
the football field, following the prog
ress of games by the shouts of his
classmates. He attended all the
campus dances and became one of the
most graceful dancers at the univer-
sity.
1t required only four years for
Clark to receive the degree he sought.
He made his course in the usual al
lotted time. All his books were of the
raised letter kind. Many of them
were not in print and often he was
forced to wait until certain of his
course books as we'll as his textbooks
could be made to order.

Wed Met ON Board Ship.

New York, Dec. 18.-When the
Allan liner California, which arrived
in New York yesterday sailed from
Glasgow, there were in the first cabin
seven lone Scotch women. They did
not know each other, but before the
ship had been out day they were all
acquainted and within another "a
hours they had formed a brides club,
for the confessions which followed ac-
workmanship proved that all seven
were coming to America for the pur-
pose of being married. In each case
the bridegroom to be was a Scotch
man who had been in America for
some time and who had finally so
placed himself as to be able not only
to furnish a home for his Scotch
sweetheart, but to send her the money
to travel to the new country in a first
class stateroom.
The weddings will all take place
soon and each member of the club has
agreed to write the full details to all
the other members.

KNOCKS ON TECHNICAL SCHOOLS
Millionaire Manufacturer Says They
Are of Little Value.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Richard T.
Crane, sr., a millionaire manufacture
er, who has founded several courses
! in manual training in the grade
vanced ground on the futility of all
special education for men about to
enter the industrial field.
Mr.. Crane wrote a paper on the
subject of technical education, which
was read at the meeting of the West
ern Railway club.
Graduates of technical schools had
wasted their time, he said. The great
positions in the world of mechanics
are filled from the clerk and mechanic
proper foundation in the grade school
and then the shop course.
After outlining his ideas along
these lines, MI Crane said:
"Why do men like Carnegie and
Armour put their money into the
was made by men who had no such
education ??
Continuing, he said:
ST oppose the technical education
because 1 have seen no practical re-
suits from it. These schools are built
and managed by impracticable peo-
pie. 1t is time wasted to attend them.
1t is a drawback in nearly every me-
chanical line. The best education is
long experience and observation in an
instances where the technical man
has assisted materially in the building
up of great enterprises. Four years
in the shops is the training to get.
"All an apprentice needs is TO un-
derstand English, be able to write and
do plain arithmetic and draw. He
can get this at the night school or at
home. No problem Of the Factory
can not be solved with good common
education and ordinary intelligence"

Old Scale of Wages to be Restored.

Butte, Mont., Oct. 30.-The miners union and the smeltermen's union have received notices from the Amalga- mated Copper and other mining com panies that the old scale of wages, in force before the agreement of the slid ing scale was made, will be restored Nov. l, in compliance with the con- tracts entered into by the companies and the labor unions of Butte, and the notices have been posted in the halls of the organizations.
 A meeting of the miners union was held last night and the matter referred to committee. The union issued statement some time ago to the effect that it will abide by the contract made with the mines. The reduction will be from AS a day to 3.50$, the scale be- fore the raise. The mines might have reduced the wages to the old scale month ago, copper already then being below IS cents, but the companies pre- ferred to leave the wages untouched until it would be evident that copper would stand below IS cents for awhile.
 The reduction to the lower scale will apply to all men at the mines except machinists, who have been on strike for months, and whose organization never signed contract for sliding scale. About 1000 men are involved.
