EDUCATING THE BOYS
Chicago Unions Favor School For
Apprentices.
MECHANIC OF THE Future

Must 30 Something Above Q Mere
Machine 10 the View Of Thinking
Trades unionists--system Adopted
by Carpenters and Eriekayers.
The mechanic Of the future must be
mn educated man. He must not only be
familiar with every branch In his own
trade, but be must know little some
thing about the trades and occupations
which people in other parts Of the
world engage In, writes H. f. Corr in
the Chicago Tribune. He must study
the machine, must be able to analyza
the plans OF the engineer and architect
Above all, he must cease to be an un-
thinking machine himself
This is the view OF at least two
trades unions In Chicago, the carpen-
ters' union and the Bricklayers'. These
views Of the two organizations are car
ried into practice by the school for ap-
prentices which has been founded In
connection with the Mckinley high
school.
About $50 apprentices from the car
penter and bricklaying trades are by
mutual agreement Of the unions and
. the contractors sent to this school
three months In the year. where they
can finish and in some cases broaden
their education
The months during which these APP
prentiees attend school are January,
February and March. The hours are
from half past s III the morning till 3
In the afternoon. The branches OF i'm
struction are the common branches Of
the public school plus drawing,

needs changing and improving. What
we are trying to do here Is to round
out the education Of the future me-
chanic. Many Of the boys here have
had one or two years work in high
school. The great majority of them,
however, hare not had 1t. Some per-
haps have not finished even eight
grades. The education OF these neces-
sarily Is deficient. They win be much
more useful as mechanics and as citi-
gems when given chance to ill out
their deficiencies"
The course lii the apprentice school
runs through three years, which Is the
period Of apprenticeship Of these
young men in the carpenter and brick |
laying trades. The cost OF maintain
ing this school for apprentices Is paid
by the board or education. There are
in all five teachers. The ages of the
pupils range from sixteen to twenty
one. All natlonalities are represented.
"Our aim is to make these courses
ais practicable as possible Mr. Becker
continued. with that object IN view
we give much attention to drawing,
which is bound to be Of decided value

tie something about design or an
architects plan is becoming more and
more OF necessity. In our general
educational work we also aim TO be as
practical as possible. Instead OF re-
curing the geography class to remem-
Der the exact population Of Portugal
or Sweden or the rivers and mountains
of these countries, we tell them some
thing about the occupations which the
people in these countries engage in."
The most striking thing about this
school is the regularity with which the
pupils attend classes There are few
absences, and excuses are seldom
trumped up IN order to avoid going to
school. The secret for this regularity
In attendance, however is found In
provision made By the unions Of which
the apprentices are members that
when absent the young man in ques-
tion loses his days pay, which be re-
ceiYes regularly during the three
months Of the school term.
Still 1t Is not only this fear Of losing
a days pay that keeps the majority Of
boys at the apprentice school Most Of
them go there because they know
enough TO see that this is to their inter
est. In one instance young man
comes from Chicago Heights. He
spends 10 cents on ear fare and other
inaidentals every day, sum which Is
as much as bis days pay amounts to,
The young man, however, goes there
because he sees in the school for APP
prentices a chance to make up for
neglected opportunities.

POLITICAL REMAINS
 OF PLI0CENE PERIOD
Relics of Fossil County Com
 mittee Discovered
Recent Public Events Concealed From MT. Farnsworth By Conspiracy of Valley Newspapers. Thinks He is Still Republican Party of County.

The newspapers of Imperial Valley seem to be derelict in their duty. They have failed ut terly to keep Mr. l.. F. Farms worth properly posted on public affairs. MT. Farnsworth swears that the action of the supervis- ors in classifying Imperial county was kept a profound secret by the newspapers, and that he nev- CT heard of it until Nov. 30, 1907, when he was surprised and pain ed to learn that Imperial county pretended to be a county of the 36th class instead of the 43d.
 It now appears that the Re- publican primaries, held through out the county last October also were nefariously concealed from MT. Farnsworth, for he still i'm agines that he is chairman of the Republican County Committee as a hold-over from San Diego and that he and ten other relics of a prehistoric political period con- stitute the Republican party of Imperial county.
 MT. Farnsworth seems to think that, like Owen Glendower, he can call spirits from the vasty deep. He has summoned the ar chaic remains of the old San Di-
