'"The tendency in the educational
system of the country is away from the
purely academic teaching and in the
direction of technical training" said
Prof. George p Schloss, a teacher in
the public high schools of Chicago,
while discussing school matters with
some Washington instructors last week.
In my opinion, this is due to the vast
increase in our industries. When devel-
oped along material lines there is q
great demand for skill Wealth is held
out to those who have native ability
and technical education. The schooIs
of mining and engineering at Cornei,
University every year give nearly every
one of their members to large enter
prises that desire competent men, They
are spoken for many months in ad-
vance. The professors select those bows
whom they believe to give the greatest
promise, and recommend them for the
highest salaries offered On the other
hand, the graduates of the academic
departments often have a hard time
getting a foothold
This demand for efficiency and the
desire of parents to give their sons the
technical training which they them
selves lacked is causing an increase in
the number of manual training schools

the same eight and IL years ago. But
somehow the Republicans got around
on election day, and their long speeches

much talk until Congress adjourns.

During the coming session of Con-

sugar" declared Representative John
DalZell, of the Pittsburg district, who

ends of Departmental business.
This legislation is much needed by
the FilipiHos, and should have been
enacted long ago. 1t passed the House,

favor of giving the islands complete
free trade on all articles with the main
