Training and Wages.

Looked at theoretically, technical ed
ucation IS good thing. The question
10 whether it bears fruit proportionate
to Its cost 1t seems reasonable that
It should pay In the long run, provid-
ed the market be not overstocked with
highly skilled workmen who cannot
find employment at good wages.
The idea OF turning out good piece
Of work for the sake of showing skill
Is attractive to both teacher and pupil.
If the skill acquired can produce arti-
cles which the world really wants a
still higher object for these practical
times is attained. Some recent sta
tlstics on Industrial and technical edu-
cation in this country show that the
technically trained boy beats his I'M
skilled comrade by the time young
manhood is reached. Among 800 boys
the investigator found that the boy
with training starts at the age Of
eighteen with wages Of $40 per week,
The boy without technical training
may start in at fourteen years OF age
at SO per week and receive $40 at the
age OF twenty-five, while the trained
boy will be getting more than twice
that at the age of twenty-five. The
trained boy works for nothing from
his fourteenth to his eighteenth year,
but he then starts at wages which
make up for lost time. If this record
becomes the rule in the industrial field,
then II is worth while for parents to
undertake the technical training Of
their boys

ANOTHER JOKE.

The Evening Growler has found
another Niger In the woodpile.
This time II Is the sewer commission
that is getting II in the neck, but
there is no reason to suppose that
the gentlemen comprising this com
mittee will feel themselves ostracized
from society on this account"
The above Is from the Joker and
contains Its usual argument. 1t
was never known to advocate the in
terests OF the people for two reasons:
Its publishers are afraid to take "a
stand for the interests OF the people
because they wear some other mans
brass collar and one OF its publish
ers admitted at the Adams trial that
he did not know what its columns
contained. The fact is that the
Press has not attackd the honor or
integrity OF the sewer commission,
because we believe them to be hon
est. But they have neglected their
duty In not requiring a profile of the
sewer system to be filed with the
clerk for public inspection. We do
state from facts which cannot be dis
puted that there Is something wrong
with the sewer system or there would
not be so many changes at the ex-
pense of the contractor or engineer
on protests from individuals. The

placed. This system Ii being put In

Of the sewer commissions to see that
these blunderH are corrected where

interests protected by the sewer COM
mission or the city council. We are
prepared to show that the system IL

umns to any one for an explanation

Water on the National Ranges.
In It's investigations for the improve
ment OF grazing lands within the IA
donal forests carried on during the
past year the forest service has found
that the ranges on some Of the forests
cannot be fully utilized by stock be-
cause OF a lack Of proper water sup
ply. Plans have been made for bet
tering these conditions as rapidly az
possible.
Work to improve the water supply
on the national forest ranges will be
started this year on the LeadyiIle ma
tional forest In Colorado and the Tu-
macacori national forest in Arizona.
and before the coming Of another graz
ing season a number Of ranges win be
improved very materially.
On the Leadyille forest the forest
officers will clean out and protect
twelve different springs and pipe the
water Into troughs. The work on the
Tumacacori forest Will be somewhat
more extensive. although II will be
confined to the Improvement Of the

EMPIRE THEATRE

A large audienca enjoyed this week S
melodrama at the Empire. entitled AT
Yale
The play Is In three acts. interspersed
with catchy, musical numbers that add
much to its attractlveness.
AT Yale as might be inferred from
the name, Is a play OF college life and
the hero. Dick Seeley, is stroke OF the
Yale crew.
In the boat race act Seeley does not
show up at the start, and Burley is put In
his place; at the last roll call, however,
Seeley shows up and the discounted Bur-
ley does not row. The reason Seeley did
not show up Is that he was kept I'm a

with Dorothy Randall, who finds that her
mistrust of him IS unfounded. The last
act closes when Dorothy and Dick en-
brace each othe~.
There are four different scenes shown
I'm the three acts. In the first a room In
Vanderbilt hall at Yale is shown; In the
second act there are three scenes, boat
house at Gales Ferry, the Gales Ferry

which is very realistic. In the last act
the exterior OF the Griswold hotel at

that simple and thoughtful kindness to-
ward every human being. great or small,
lofty or humble. with whom he was
brought in contact. which so endeared
him to our people
"He had to grapple with more serious
and complex problems than any president
since Lincoln. and yet while meeting ev-

ued to live a beautiful and touching fam
