schools do not educate for any par

schools lay the foundation of engineer

an opportunity to avail themselves of
the course offered. According to a
writer in recent periodical, which

more than 25 per cent of the whole

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION NEEDED.


At the second annual convention of

of Industrial Education that recently
met at Atlanta, Ca, several interest
ing papers were read. From some OF
these we present the following ex-
tracts:
Carleton B. Gibson, of Columbus, Ga,
and chairman of the convention, said:
AS a people we are being aroused to
to the realization of the fact that our
public schools need no longer seek an
excuse for existence, but are face to

the youth of the land for social eff

BITTER FIGHT IN
FRUIT DELIVERIES

CHICAGO, Dec 5.-A bitter fight
is being waged today between the
transcontnental carriers and the
trunk line freight association, over
the change proposed by the associa-
ton in the method of delivering Cali
fornia and western fruits to eastern
consumers. The transcontinental roads
declare that to accede to the demand
of the association that the original
bills of ladng be forwarded to points
where the goods are delivered, where
shipments are diverted from contract
ing shippers to purchasers, would
mean a diminution Of the coast ship
ments of citrus fruits.
The shippers hitherto consigned the
shipments to themselves and when
sold wou, d deliver it to the purchaser
without presenting the original bill of
lading.
