CLAIMS NEW GOSPEL.

d
new saying Of Christ, lost to
the world for thirteen centuries
and found in Egypt, was given u
the world for the first time Mon
day by Prof. Henry Saunders Of
the University Of Michigan, ad
dressing the members of the Ar
chaelogical institute now in ses-
sion at the University Of Chica
60. The fragment is part of an
old bible dating back to the Mos
lem conquest of Egypt and on lis
face is SO authentic as to disarm
hostile criticism. The long lost
fragment belongs in the Sixteenth
chapter of the gospel of st. Mark
and follows the fourteenth verse.
1t relates to the story.of Christ's
!, appearance, following his death,
to eleven Of his apostles in Jeru
salem.
With the new verse the bible
reads thus:
Mark 1914 And they an
swered, saying that this age of
unrighteousnessS and unbelief is
under the power of Satan, who
does not permit the things which
are made impure by the (eyil)
spirits to comprehend the truth
of God and his God. For this
reason reveal thy Righteousness
now, they said to Christ, and
Christ said to them:
ssIhe limit of the years of the
power Of Satan has been fulfilled
but other terrible things are al
hand, and ] was delivered unto
death on behalf of those who
sinned in order that they may re-
turn to the truth and sin no more,
to the end that they may inherit
the spiritual, indestrnctible, glory
of righteousness which is II
heaven
Prof. Sanders declared that the
& new found script also contains
what is known as the LiturgicaI
ending Of the Lords prayer.

This year the school board has
taken a decided step in advance, es-
tablshing the Portland School of
Trades. having selected as principal of
the work Mr.. Hamilton. a man of
thorough training and experience, who
will have four teachers associated with
him. The work is to be located in
the Atkinson school. The equipment
and machinery are of the very best
and latest design. By many thought.

Of the city it is believed that this
school means great things for the in
dustrial life and welfare Of Portland.
The board of education makes the
following official statement in respect
to the work of the Portland School
of Trades
"The object of this school will be to
furnish instruction to the boys Of this
city in some trade that they may be
better fitted for their life work. OPP
portunity will be given for instruction
of the following trades: Carpentry
cabinet making! pattern making
moulding, electrical construction, ma

Such academic branches as Eng

electricity and industrial chemistry
will be included in the course. Special
attention will be given to these SUBJ

EDUCATIONAL IDEALS Of Y. NJ. c. A.

the situation, and that their theories
and plans and methods are such that
it is impossible for them to meet 1t
completely. Nor is it intended to i'm,
ply that the public schools are not
doing the work they are arranged to
DO, in an efficient manner. On the
contrary, again. the buildings average
far better, the equipment is many
times better, the courses are more
compleet and more logically related
and the teachers much better prepar-
ed and certainly no less conscientious
than ever before in the history of the
city.
1t is only suggesting that, in the in
terest of the common people and Of
the city, the kinds of schools must be
multiplied, that the educational
scheme must be broadened, and that
the work of the lower schools must
have much more bearing upon the la
Dor of the people.
There is constant complaint that
the schools do not fit children for any
ordinary duties in the stores and Of
fices and factories. 1t also keeps
children from getting work of any
kind when they leave the elementary
schools. If they get work, it amounts
to little and too often leads to nothing.
All the conditions taken together
almost force children to keep in the
school system and go on toward the
professional and managing vocatlons
which are more than full, and for
which they lack adaptation; or else be
out Of work for several years. AS a
fact, large numbers Of them are out
Of school and also out of work for a
long time, II not for all time.
A decided move is coming here in
Portland to change this condition by
the school board and from private
sources. The Y. NJ. c. A. seven years
ago started a manual training school
in a small way, employing two teach
ers and putting in a good shop equip
ment. Later the public school took
up this work, taking the association
teachers, and now this work is carried
on at seven different centers in the
city.
About seven years ago the Y. NJ c.
A. also started regular trade school
work, having classes in plumbing,
carpentry, show-card writing, teleg-
raphy, shop electricity, practical min
ing classes, besides mechanical archi-
tectural drawing and other vocational
subjects, and is this season enlargins

H. W. stone, general secretary Of
the Y. NJ. C. \. at Portland, writes
the FLOWING entertaining article on
the educational ideals the Y. NJ. c.
\. for the Portland Chamber Of Com
merce Bulletin:
Our educatloal system has not been
leading the boys Of Portland up to
the thought of making" living so
much as it has the idea Of getting
one. The grammar grades provide for
the high school or academy, and they
in turn suggest the college or univer-
sity. where the man finally blossoms
out into the professions.
Here, instead of creating wealth,
they seek TO secure a living in fees or
salary as professional men, or from
profits, interest on wealth already Gre
ated or from the rise in value Of
natural resources.
If the young men do not enter the
professions (and only a limited num-
Der cam their idea is to go into "bus-
mess" as an agent or trader, but prac>
tically never to become a producer or
a creator of wealth.
Mining has been considered a gam
bic; the boy has been educated away
from agriculture; he has had no ideals
of making or creating anything, so
of course manufacture does not apply
to him.
The so-called culture education Of
the schools has fitted the Oregon boy
to see in the forest not furniture and
finished products of wood, but tim
ber to be held for a rise or sold for
commission; in the clay bank not
brick, tile, cement or paint to be pro-
duced by work, but a chance to gain
and hold areas for a profit
We are ever boasting Of our great
natural resources, but our education
al system has trained our boys not in
shop work, drawing, natural sciences
and mathematics to fit for taking
these resources and by work turn
them into real wealth, but rather to
consider them only as something to be
exploited for their private benefit.
In saying this, It is not intended to
urge that the literary. professional and
commercial schools Of all grades are
worthless or not worth all they have
cost.
on the contrary, they each minister
t. a class, and are, generally speaking,
Invaluable. 1t Is only intended to
urge that they are one-sided, that
they only partially meet the needs Of

(From the New York World.)
Thomas w. Lee, until about two
years ago general passenger agent Of
the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern railroad, with headquarters in
New York, is the first man in the
world to farm by electricity Mr.. Lee
owns the Bungalow. a tract of more
than 1000 acres in the vicinity Of
Idaho Falls. All that Tom Lee has
to do now when he wishes to farm Is
to push button. Electricity does the
rest. The ground in the Bungalow
was broken for cultivation two years
ago The first season 1t returned a
profit on grain. 1t is fenced, has fine
buildings. machinery and stock and
is managed by man to whom sys-
tenn is as necessary as breath
One year ago Mr.. Lee utilized
steam, but that proved too slow and
too expensive. This year the grain
of the Bungalow will be reaped,
stacked, threshed, sacked and made
ready for market by electricity.
Mr.. Lee has installed private tele-
phone and electric wires. These
wires, erected at his own expense, are
stretched two miles from the main
line of the power company. These
poles carry three wires, which are
used for both power and lighting pur-
poses.
Water is pumped, grindstones turn
ed. saws, corn shelters, root suffers,
hay forks hay cutters, cider mills,
grist mills, ensllage cutters. cement
mixers, turning lathes, ice cream mix
ers churns and separators are all run
by electricity. \ 25 horse power cleo
tric motor accomplishes all these
things.
This season the entire crop of the
Bungalow, aggregating 1000 tons of
hay, alfalfa and clover, 10000 bushels
of grain, and potatoes and other pro-
ducts, will be placed on trucks and
with cable reels be handled with
greater facility than it could ever be
handled with human hands.
The cost of steam, with the coal
and labor, was much greater than that
of electricity. During the threshing
season labor alone cost $50 a day for
25 days. Mr.. Lee figures that the in
stallation of electricity means a saw
ing for the first year Of $4,000 on first
cost and thereafter the cost of OPP
Grating will be about one-fourth the
former figures. During the threshing
season the cost with the electric cur
rent will be only $4OO, as against
$500 with steam.
Aside from the saving, Mr.. Lee says
the power is reliable, constant and
doesn't go on strike; the danger of
fire is eliminated and the sati9fac-
tlon constitutes not the smallest fea-
ture.

These are the men selected by the
Republican national convention as the
standard bearers for the Republican
party in the national campaign now at

The convention aust closed was in
many respects one of the most re-
markable in the history of American
politics. The noisy demonstrations
in honor of various favorites among
the party leaders have never been
equaled in any Republican convention

welt threw the convention into a fren-
~; repeated in intensity and almost
IN duration. But there is limit to
the physical resources of throat and
lungs; relays had not been establish
ed, and at last the tired voices died
down to hoarse shout and at last
subsidized.
Do 1t Again for Ia Toilette.
1t was late in the afternoon before
the convention, now literally swelter-
ing with the intense heat. weary after
nearly seven hours of continuous SEES
sion, reached the end of the flood of
eloqnence, and the decks were at last
cleared for the eliminating act. But
no. just as the last swell of oratory,
the seconding speech for La Toilette,
had died away, like a cyclone from a
clear sky burst a La Toilette demon
stration which swept the convention
from its very bearings. 1t was the
same deafening wave of sound that
had greeted Roosevelt Wednesday
and Taft little while before, intense
and maddening and with the vital ring
of genuine enthusiasm. Ii seemed as
though wisconsin had suddenly peo-
pied every foot of the galleries. The
delegates sat calm and waiting ex-
cept the frantic Wisconsin, but the
COW ention for the time being was in
the possession of the galleries.
Another One for Roosevelt.
Now a singular Transformation oc-
Cured gradually the whirlwind veer-
Fed from La Toilette to Roosevelt. A
banner bearing the Roosevelt portrait
and waved from the gallery was the
signal for the change. but in the con
fused babel of voices there was no
distinguishing where the La Toilette
cheers ended and those for Roosevelt
began.
Amid this pandemonium, and with
