general condition that has prevailed the
world over. is shown by the monthly state
.nent- or the Bureau OF Statistics. or the

records month by month. all but four show
a falling off in exports and imports.
The principal decrease on the import side
occurred In trade with Europe, and on
the export side In the trade with North
America. These marked reductions in the
United States are not entirely the result of
a falling off in the quantity OF merchan-
disc moved into or out OF the country, says
the statement.
Imports from Europe in the ten months
for which detailed figures are available,
showed a decrease from SOS 100000 in ten
months of 1907 to s436OOO,OOO in similar

PLEA FOR INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS
United states Held to- BE Far
Behind Germany In This
Respect.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The preliminary
report of the committee appointed by the
National Society for the Promotion of
Industrial Education to consider the re-
lation of Industrial education to the gen
erai system of education OF the country
has been made public. 1t recommends
the establishment of Industrial and trade
schools and a national department, with
secretary OF education in the cabinet
"All who are acquainted with education
in European nations" says the report
know that In Industrial training we are
far behind such countries as Germany.
That there are practically no facilities
for the training of the youth between
the ages of IA and IS for industr pur-
suits and the opportunities for those in
the trades to improve their skill by the
| oretical training is confined to isolated
and occasional schools.
"The vast majority of Children leave
school at the end of the grammar school
period
"Such schools as may articulate with
the grammar school for the training of
youths will most likely assume the form
OF training schools for particular indus
| tries The boy or girl trained in them
will not be a skilled journeyman in any
| trade, but will have received a funda-
! mental training in those things which
| will make them skilled journeymen in a
| short time.
TT seems clear that such schools, both
| for youths and adults. are likely TO be
attempted, and. in fact, are being at
| tempted in the various parts of the
| United States. These schools we are
| seeking to solve"

RIVER IMPROVEMENT CHANCES
Question of whether There VIII he n
River and HarbOr Bill
Undecided.

WASHINGTON. Dec. e7-The question
whether there will be a rivers and harbors
bill during this congress Is becoming a
matter of much concern to members OF
both houses.
In accordance with the usual custom OF
passing such a bill only once every two
years, no effort was made to get ono
through last session, but it was then gem
orally understood that no obstacles would
be placed in its way at the second session.
Now the committees having charge of the
question find themselves confronted with
a constantly growing deficit In the treas
ury. with the result that they find 1t quite
impossible to give any satisfactory assur-
ances to colleagues, who, like themselves,
want legislation.
| knowledge of the situation Is. however,
having but little IL any influence in caus-
| ing a diminution of the pressure and the
| importunste ones are urging the prospect
of improved business conditions. Senator
Frye. chairman of the senate committee,
and Mr. Burton, who holds like position
at the head of the house committee. are
giving due consideration to these repre-
sentations, but 50 far they find themselves
quite unprepared to say what will be done.
There is a clamor for enterprises which
tentatively have been promised. New and
old projects would call for the immediate
appropriation of about $25,0C0,000 If a
bill is undertaken there will be strenuous
effort TO get authorization for the begin
ming OF the much advocated deep waterway
from Chicago to the gulf This is regarded
as an essential part of the plan for the
improvement OF the inland water courses
and II II should be undertaken in earnest
the advocates of the new departure would
find in It reason for much encouragement
for a general advance.
