. "As to development work, We are
now In on our. main tunnel $50 feet

farther before reaching the National

will bring the work to the Snowstorm

Mr.. Nordquist said that at the In

HALF-GRoWN BOYS SCARCE.
Baltimore Factories, Short of Hands,
Employ Negro "Mammies.
From he Baltimore Ners

On account of the scarcity of half-grown
boys for work IN the factories in Baltimore
their places in few instances have been
taken recently by young colored women.
The scarcity of boys at this season of the
year is caused by the fairly strict enforce
ment of the law, which went into effect in
Maryland last October, requiring all chill
dren between the ages of twelve and sixteen
to attend school unless they are already
able to read and write with fair degree of
proficiency. In order to retain their places
in mills these boys must have certificate
issued by insp ectors whose duty it is to see
that the educational law is enforced This
law has barred many boys from the glass
and bottle factories, where they have light
employment for eight and one-half hours
day. which brings them wages ranging from
$3.50 to s. week. During the last month
with educational certificates so the expert
ment of employing colored women was
started by Swindell Bros, whose glass and
bottle factory is at Bayard and Russell
streets.
The head of the firm, Walter B. Swindeu.
said:
IS, far the experiment has proved to be
successful. There are some kinds of work
in a glass factory which women could not
the positions the boys held they can fill.
We were driven to 1t, for since the new ed
vocational law went into effect the boys were
kept away Many who were taken out of
the factories and supposed to attend school
did not do So am afraid.
THE boys should learn to read and write
before they are twelve years old. Then, II

ITALIAN COMMERCIAL SCHOOL.
Thorough Business Training in Italy
-Comprehensive Curriculum.


Upon the request of the Department Of
Commerce and Labor, Consul Paul Nash
has furnished an interesting report on the
course of study and methods of preparing
students for commercial pursuits by the
Royal Commercial School of Venice. The
graduates of this and similar schools es-
tablished in the principal commercial coun-
tries of Europe, supported in part by the
respective governments, constitute the class
from which European manufacturers Sc
lect to represent them in promoting trade
in foreign markets. Consul Nash's report
follows:
The founding of the Regia Scuola Su-
periore di Commercio of Venice may be
said to date from the signing of the royal
decree of approval on August 6, 1868, and
was the direct result of the commercial
awakening which marked the incorpora-
ton of the Venetian provinces into the
kingdom of Italy. Modelled after school
already existing in Antwerp, 1t was or
ganiZed with a governing board composed
of delegates from the provincial council,
the communal council and the chamber of.
commerce. three elective bodies which, with
the Italian government had combined to
establish it. This board was later in
creased by two delegates from the Italian
government.
The school is supported by subsidies from
the province of Venice, 50 600; from the
Italian government $1,000; the city of Ven
ice, 900, and from the chamber of COM
merce, $1,000; plus the tuition fees, etc,
about S., Co., giving a total of some $21 600.
This modest sum, while sufficient for the
running expenses Of the school, does not

consular class in the fifth year adds a
course in civil procedure to those of the
fourth year and of the two remaining di-
visions of the normal class the first adds
rural legislation and pedagogics and the
second pedagogics alone.
Success of Graduates.
After such a tremendous course of study
as is required by this school 1t is not sur
prlsing that its graduates have little diff
Guilty In finding employment or in securing
positions in the government service, which
from the schoolmastership to the diplo-
matte and consular services. are only to be
OBTAINED after the most stringent competi-
tive examinations. Indeed, IN the last COM
petition for five vacancies In the consular
service, two men from this school were
successful against forty-two competitors,
and this result surprises no one. 1t Is said
and is undoubtedly true, that graduates in
the commercial class eminently fitted
for the work before them, and by promoting
trade and industry become positive asset
to the community and to the nation, while
final examinations here are wonderfully
equipped. In fact, the work accomplished
here and in the similar, though smaller
schools Of Bari and Genoa has led to the
project being formed Of esta blishing two
more on the same lines, one in Turin and
the other in Rome. These, being in larger
places. will be numerically and financially
more prosperous, but as to standard II will
be most difficult to improve on that of the
school Of Venice.

It IL a necessity for them to work. as it is
In the case OF the families OF most working
men, they are prepared to do so. The money
they make in the factories is welcome ad-
dition to many family income. Now. how
ever, we are deprived of the services of
every lad who cannot read and write well
enough to obtain a certificate from an in
spector.
The colored women do well, though.
Many apparently prefer it to household
work. Their hours are much shorter. They
do not have to work at nights or on Sun
days, and they make just as much money.
do not know whether their mployment in
factories will increase. but there Is one
thing certain-somebody has to take the
places Of the boys who cannot read or
write"
A serious feature Of the employment of
colored women in factories not only glass,
but clothing ETC., Is the curtailment Of the
already limited supply of domestic help.
It Is not at all an unusual thing for
housekeeper to lose a good servant because
of the attraction of no night and no Sun
day work offered by the factories. Regular
hours and the whole of Sunday to loaf in
more than offsets to the factory worker the
fact that in her factory wages she cannot
do as well she did with her pay as serv-
ant, with meals and room rent free.

AS long ago as thirty years the ambition

could train. The only place they had for
this purpose was the canal. and this was
