TRAINING APPRENTICES.


Manufacturing Firm.
According to United States Consul
Mahin, firm at Lincoln, England ex-
tensiyely engaged IN the manufacture
of agricultural and other machinery,
has introduced something new iii the
line OF an apprenticeship system which
| Is attracting attention throughout Brit
ain and is receiving much favorable
comment. He says
1.-THE rule In England Is to bind a
boy for seven years, from the age OF
fourteen to twenty-one, during which
period he leads a narrow, treadmill
life. The Lincoln firm, however, takes
apprentices at any age between fifteen
and twenty-five, one inducement to
this change being the expectation that
boys of sixteen to eighteen win have
had good school education and will
therefore be better fitted than a boy
Of fourteen to master the trade. To
encourage boys at sixteen to eighteen
years to become apprentices the same
wages win be paid them as ii they
had begun at fifteen.
.But the most important part Of the
Lincoln firms new apprenticeship sys-
tenn is to give all deserving appren-
tees varied shop experience and to
supplement the shop work with
courses OF instruction bearing directly
thereon. By combining mental train
ing with shop work It ia believed that
more intelligent workmen will be
evolved than under the old system.
The general scheme Is this:
Apprentices VIII be moved from one
class Of work to another at the discre-
ton Of the firm. Diligence, skill and
proficiency will be held to constitute a
claim for transference to another class
OF work. Keeping a boy on routine
work simply because he has become
skiliful at 1t will. so far as possible,
be avoided.
"All apprentices are under superin.
tendent, whose sole duties are to super
wise, teach, promote and advise, The
firm maintains its own school in the
works. and all apprentices can attend
classes free. Books and utensils are
provided by the firm. officials OF the
Grim take part In the work Of teaching
the apprentices and In general deal
with subjects In which they are spe-
cialists. 1t is among the duties OF the
superintendent to prevent an appren-
tice from drifting through the works,
to protect boys from fayoritism or the
opposite in the works and to report to
the 6rm cases Of merit or demerit."

DIES The prices on nearly all lines Of goods have advanc-
ed very materially during the last year, especially cotton
goods. Knowing we would need these goods for our
s'White Sale' we bought most of them as far back as
last spring and early in the summer at prices that could
not possibly be obtained now. Hence for our White Sale
we will make prices that will mean a saving of at least
a third over prices in a regular way later.

ERWIN OF WEST POINT
IS GREATEST GUARD
HIS RED HEAD WENT THROUGH
YALE LIKE A BULLET
Forbes Develops AII-Eastern Star Out
Of a Raw Kansas Cadet Who
Is Idol of Military
Academy

NEW YORK Oct 26.-Footbap experts are
hailing Erwin, the West Point guard, as a
probable selection for the all-eastern team this
year. Before the Yale game he was known
but as a member of the Army team. When in
the first FIVE minutes of play Erwin broke
'thr Ugh Yale's admittedly strong line and
threw Bomar and Wylie, Yale's halfbacks,
for losses, the cadets, massed In one OF the
grandstands shouted, Good boy, Red; that s
The way to do it." They were overjoyed and
taken unawares.
Two years ago Erwin made the Army team
because of his strength Last year his was
place in, the line few teams tried more than
once to break through but he was not looked
upon player of individual brilliancy. In
fact, he so underestimate his own power tnat
his teammates constantly feared he would
not use it. y
Forbes Develops Star
This fall when Bob Forbes. Yale's great
end of last season, took head of the Army
squad he quickly snw in Erwin the making
of a great player and he detected just as soon
the big red haired Kansas boys fault-back-
wardness. Several times Erwin stood like an
image and let another player do the tackling
thinking he might miss himself. Forbes dom
ned uniform and got in the scrub line oppo-
site Erwin
At first Forbes stepped back when the ball
was put In play to let Erwin through the line,
but the latter wouldn't take the advantage
offered him. Then Forbes resolved upon an
other play. He decided to arouse Erwin's
temper If there was any in him. No one had
seen any sign of It.
For two days Forbes lunged at Erwin's stom-
ach, tripped him on the open field and made
a bean bag Of him generally. Then he retired
him to the scrubs. That was the making Of
him The next day Erwin appeared on the
field and in the first scrimmage laid Capt
Smith low by picking him up with the ball
in his arms and throwing him bodily back ten
yards.
Mountford got the next dose, and with the
varsity being broken up, Forbes called hal.
and put Erwin ON the first team. That night
he gave him a talking to and told him the
Yale game was his last chance.
Fail. to Lay Him Out
When play began Erwins prowess stood out
above all else He waded through the Yale
line at Will, sprinted down under punts ahead
of the fleet Army ends time and again, and he
tackled all over the field like hend. l'ive
minutes after the start of the game he was
West Points main defense. The Yale play
ers laid for him and twice he was unable 10
ret up from under a heap until cold water
had been dashed in his face. Then ne was
on his feet again in short order and as anx-
ous for the fray as before.
