GERMANY h-a-ps Roys.
Looks Up Positions For Them Before
They Leave School.

When an American boy leaves
school he does not always know what
sort of work he wants or is fit for.
or even when he knows exactly what
Kind of job he desires, he often does
not know at all how to find it. Such
Job as he aims for may not exist
within his opportunities Of place and
time. So the boy leaving school may
drift into an unsuitable occupation.
or, worse, into no occupation at ALL
in spite of an honest wish originally
to work. In Germany they order
these things better.
Every year printed schedules of
comprehensive questions are sent to
every head teacher of the Munich
schools to be distributed among the
pupils who are going to leave the
schools that year.
The pupils are asked TO put them
selves in communication with the
municipal labor bureau, which will
advise them as to the choice of a vo-
cation, and give them the best chance
possible to secure work.
Yearly circulars are also sent to
all the trade guilds and other labor
societies TO enlist their cooperation.
The children respond readily to
the aid givsl them. Boys come by
dozens to the Offices of the bureau in
search Of positions as apprentice OF
beginner. Each brings a form OF ap.
plication filled up by himself. but
signed by his teacher
When the bureau finds a place for
him he is notified by postcard and
presents himself for examination BY
the employer, wherever and whenever
the latter may appoint.
Whether the boy takes the lob OF
not he must report TO the bureau the
result of the interview, and this goe!
on until work is procured which suits
him and which he is able TO do.
For the direction of the boys th.
labor bureau has prepared. with the
aid Of expert employers and medica,
men, a handbook of the industries
open to boy. This handbook de.
scribes the different kinds of work,
the qualifications necessary TO each,
the prospects of promotion or steady
employment, the health conditions,
the dangers and difficulties, the cost
and time of training and everything
else which the boy and his parents
ought to know before choosing bis
career.
A ladies' committee has lately been
appointed TO look after the girls,
also. from the schools. So the young
people OF Munich have a first rate
chance for good start in life

WHEN A PR0MISS0RY
NOTE Is A FORGERY

In Bradstreet's IL is reported that
Maine has held, in the case OF the
Biddeford National Bank VS.. Hill.
that where person did not intend
TO sign "A promissory note, but by
fraud and deceit was tricked into
signing an instrument which after
ward proved to be a promissory note.
such instrument was forgery, al
though the signature affixed thereto
was genuine.
This Is n very important decision
and We are glad that Il has been
made. and we would like to have the
courts OF other States pass upon this
matter.
The case upon which the decision
Is given Is one which has very ma
terially affected the retail merchants
OF the country, and IL IL one which.
In the years past, we have been called
upon, to deal with not infrequently,
For example: Representatives OF cer-
tain manufacturers call on a retail
dealer and induce him. by roseate
representations, to put I'm a stock
OF goods. making all kinds of tacit
verbal agreements relative to the
sale OF the goods, paying for the
same, and the return OF unsold psr.
chandise.
These gentlemen are usually good
takers and as they run on they deft-
ly shove n printed agreement in front
OF the dealer, leading him 10 under
stand that IL is an order for goods.
or some such generally harmless
agreement. Usually this Is accom-
panied by deft manipulation OF the
agreement which Is printed in blank
and filled In with pen. Some time or
other, IL may be sooner or Il may be
later, the dealer finds that he has
signed n promissory note, which he
usually ascertalns when payment is
demanded. either by the parties TO
whom It was given or through bank
with which Il has been placed for col
lection.
The retail merchants have been
particularly marked for this sort OF
fraud by unscrupulous persons who
have thus obtained their signature
20 promissory notes
or course. n promissory note is
the strongest possible legal document.
and when person has been confront
cd by n note bearing his signature,
the genuinenesY Of which he could
not dispute, he has known the fu-
tility OF making any objection and
has usually paid It and pocketed tho
loss. In the past Il has been gem
orally understood that there was no
redress for n person whose genuine
signature appeared upon a promis-
sorry note; how IL got there mattered
little; Il was there and he put IL
there, and presumably he knew what |
he was doing, and rather than con-
test in the courts n promlssory note |
most people would pay them.
This decision, II IL stands and IL |
held 20 be valid, will enable justice |
10 be done 10 good many people |
who, by various causes such as un-
due influence, oversight, misunder-
"A lack OF business sagacity, |
hurried manipulation, and so on, at
tach their names to promissory notes. |
When this is accomplished, even IL IL |
Is their own free act and deed, II Is
and was obtained fraudu-
emily with fraudulent Intentions.
Such notes should not be held valid.
and this decision OF the Maine Su-
Dreme Court Is very important and
Iar reaching.
