/ Mr. Shaw does not seem any older than
when he presided over Uncle sans strong
box, with the possible exception Of his
hair having grown from gray to a whitish
hue He is just as jovial as ever and has
d good word for everybody.
Mr. Shaw had nothing at all to say on
politics-did not care 10 have the sub
ject even mentioned; said he was here at
tending a dinner party and on business
at the Agricultural Department: that be-
ing good Republican he would naturally
support the Republican Presidential tick
ct no matter who the candidate would
be.

IT sounds strange, doesn't i. when we
hear the old folks talk of how they
tramped five or ten miles each day during
the coolest winter weather 10 reach a log
school where they received a scanty edu-

"Oyercoddling Of the young IS just as
injurious as too much hardship Every
one should walk. and walk as much as
possible. I have always believed that.
and. in fact. have always advocated that
mere distance from school should not be

IF I had my way every child Of proper
age should walk three miles each day,
taking full hour for the exercise.

Speaking of Industrial training Of the
young. Mr. Mcdonald said last night:
Germany trains its youth for a vocation.
The United States trains its youth for a
Job.
In Berlin to-day 50 per cent Of ali the
boys between fourteen and sixteen years
OF age are in industrial schools They
are training themselves and are being
trained by combination of the train
ing school and the shop TO become crafts
men in the genuine sense Of the word.
In Chicago to-day less than one-tenth
Of 1 per cent are getting similar training.
And they say that Americas industries
are the greatest in the world.
IN the long run. American Industry
will pay the penalty Of this unprepared-
ness The time will be shorter than
any Of US would wish and the penalty
viii be heavy.
Americans are bold, alert. and re-
sOurCeful- But in the industrial race we
are threatened with second place. or
worse. And We will have 10 take it unless
we recognize that our national system Of
must incorporate technical
training in its curricula as the basis OF
the control Of home and foreign mar
