PREMIUM ON BRAINS.

THE man who gets $4,000 year is
the cheapest man in the place and the
man who gets $3.50 a day is the most
expensive" said W. r. Warner, presi-
dent of the big Warner Swasey COM
pany of Cleveland, o., in an address he
delivered the other day on. 1.-THE APP
premiership System Of Today" at the
annual convention of the National So
ciety for the Promotion of Industrial
Education which was held at Chicago.
And there is great truth in this state
ment Of Mr.. Warner.
1.-The man without an education in his
trade he continued. SIS nothing more
than travelling crane. One dollar and
a half a day is rather a big price,
find, to pay for his labor. But when
you have man with brains and initia-
tive, you get more out Of him many
times over than his salary amounts to-
Il remember visiting a big plant once
where they turned out a locomotive a
day. They paid the superintendent of
that place $4,000 a year. That was
cheap. That represented less than three
locomotives. An incompetent man in
the superintendent place could have
cost, and would have cost, them 50 10
Mr. Warner strongly advocated the
apprenticeship system. 1t was practf-
cal, he said, and sifted out the ineff1-
cient and the Indifferent. Some of the
trade schools he had visited graduated
some very incompetent men. But the
main thing, in his idea, is that the ap-
premiership method soon told the boy
whether he was in the right place or
not.
More attention is being paid each
year in this country, and rightly so, to
trade education not only by the en-
ployers of technical labor but by labor
unions. And trade education is best
accomplished, it is the general opinion,
in an extension of the apprenticeship
system where special training is given
to the apprentices in addition to the
regular and practical work demanded
of them. This is the method that has
been undertaken by the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe Railway company for
the education Of their apprentices in
the shops of the system, and that it
will ultimately result in great benefit
not only to those who have the privi-
lege of enjoying it but also to the COM
pany there Is no doubt.

MCKINLEY DAY,

Mckinley Day falls on January 90
and through the efforts Of 1.-THE Car
nation League of America" the GUS
tom has been established of observing
the birthday of the late president by
wearing on that day a carnation. his
favorite flower. This is a most felic-
itous custom and should be observed
generally by the people. AS Lewis G..
Reynolds, the founder of the league
says. the annual observance of the
birthday of men who have adorned
high stations in the nations gift and
in its service has a distinct educa-
uonal value as well as an uplifting
influence. The usefulness of their SER
vices to their country. and to mankind
in general, is necessarily recalled and
the encouragement of their example
is brought forcibly to mind. There is
no more ennobline influence than is
the contemplation of the lives Of great
and good men and whatever may lead
to this contemplation should be en-
couraged.
The life, character and services Of
William Mckinley can not be studied
or reviewed without profit to the in
dividual and the community. In his
death the nation suffered the loss Of
one of her foremost sons-the Chris
tan world, a disciple Of pure and man
ly living.
A people can not have too many
national days-days commemorative
of brave deeds, or noble lives nobly
lived. The thoughtful observance of
each tends to keeping the whole body
of the people UP to the highest pa
trfotic pitch. and If "Carnation Day.
shall add it's quota to the fostering Of
real national patriotism. we may be
sure that the great soul of William
Mckinley will look down from above
and Undue "Carnation Day. with some
of his love and veneratfon for the
glories of our nation and the per-
manency of it's institutions.
"Carnation Day was established
January 20. 1903. and has been OBJ
served with great unanimity on each
recurring anniversary. May it con-
tfnue to grow in power and good works
from year to year.

1.-THE practical need now is for rem

hardly be satisfactory as a perman-

has its relationships with every citi-

THE CURRENCY PROBLEM.

cit Is q praiseworthy plan proposed
by the currency committee of the
American Bankers association" says
the Chicago Tribune. "a campaign
of education is to be undertaken in
the interests of the money bill favored
by that organization. Pamphlets, doc
uments, and carefully prepared arti-
cles are to be sent broadcast for use
Of newspapers of all grades. The peo-
pie are to be appealed to to read and
study the currency bills and to make
comparisons. State associations of
bankers and commercial bodies are to
be asked to cooperate in the move
ment for popular enlightenment on
the money question.
THE special advantage of such a
plan is that it will arouse discussion
everywhere. 1t is apparent that there
is much popular ignorance on the SUBJ
ject of money. The bankers them
selves are often untutored and can not
be taken as safe guides. The members
of congress, who must formulate bills
and pass them, seem as much at sea
| as the majority of their fellow citizens
All sorts of propositions are being pre-
scented for consideration. Each one OF
them may have some feature that is
excellent. Each one likewise may be
radically defective in other details
Public discussion, criticism. and sug-
gestion will be a great help in securing
the right solution of the problem con-
fronting the nation.
