TRAINING TECHNICAL WORKERS

An interesting story comes IRON
Rethlehem. Pa. of the success which Is
attending the project of prominent
stool man to train skilled workers fOi
future needs. He made a proposition
to receive 5000 boys and give theh
special oversight in teaching them al
the details of the steel and iron trade
in order that they may be aVallable 1o'
service above the grade of mere me-
chanic when the company is in need OF
such helpers.
In response to this offer more than
200 boys have appeared. Their ages
range from Is to 20 years, about hall
of them being Germans, quarter
Irish, and the rest mainly of pure
American stock. The most of them
have had a high school education OF
have attended, manual training
school. Not more than five per cent
of those who applied failed in their
allotted tasks and decided to quit
The great majority entered into the
work with spirit and are giving COM
plete satisfaction to the company. In
cidentally. it has been noted that the
parents of these boys, most of whom
are steel workers, have rejOiced over
the fine opportunity for their children
to secure positions in coming years in
advanc eof what they themselves have
been able to fill
The steel magnate's invitation was
not given in a spirit of pure philan
thropy. 1t was a plain business prOpo-
sition. 1t may be paralleled by pro-
jects in other industries.. There are
plenty of laborers who can do the rou-
tine work, while those who have the
administrative ability, the initiative
and the driving power to make sue
cessful superintendent are compar.
atively few.
Banking houses encourage then
clerks to join organizations planned
for instructing them in the details OF
their business. The large insurance
companies hold a sort of school ir
which prospective agents are trained
in the principles of that branch of in
dustry. Many firms offer prizes fol
suggestions made by employees whicl

ing in Clyde Fitch's newest play, THE
Straight Road" theater-goers here
will have an opportunity of judging OF
the. so-called Madonna scene, which
has excited so much controversy. The
scene occurs in the third act, when
Miss Walsh, in the role of Moll O'Hara,
girl of the slums, is led to believe
that her lover has discarded her Tor
another. She has become reformed
woman for his sake and now, in a
spasm of hopelessness and utter de-
spair, she determines to forget her for
mer avowal to walk 1.-The straight
road" and to drown her troubles in a
wild debauch. Like mad woman she
tears at the furniture; she grasps a
flask Of whiskey and pulls the cork
with her teeth, she tears the shade
from the window and then stands
quivering with the liquor in her up
raised hand. For the sweeping away of
the window covering has flooded the
room with light and one stray moon
beam illumines wierdly the picture of
the Virgin hung on the wall. The
woman falls on her knees before the
picture of the Mother of Sorrows in an
agony of contrite weeping. The scene
is almost terrible.

when they ordered groceries. then the
English language Is not understand
able. BY selling the stun that has
been put under the ban because Of its
impurity, the mail order concerns
have been able to undersell the local
merchants living hundreds Of miles
away from the great centers of sup
ply.
In carrying on this trade in impure
goods, the mail order houses have
done the greatest injury to the con-
sumer. While the local merchant has
lost some trade, he has had at least
q part Of the business of the ranch
man and miner in his vicinity, but
the consumer, who has been caught
by the cheap" prices offered, has
not got what he has been paying for
by long way, and there Is no way
for him to get even.

are offered at such infinitesimal cost
as to compel the ordinary woman to
