INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

DIR. Andrew s. Draper, commits
sioner Of education for the state OF
New York finds fault with the elemen-
tary schools of this country because
they do not. to a sufficiently great ex-
tent. train for industrial employ
ments.
DR.. Draper declares that one who
goes out of the school system at the
end of the elementary school term Is
not only unprepared for any vocation
which will be open to him, but toe
commonly he is without that intellect
ual training which should make him
eager for opportunity and incite him
to the utmost effort to do just as well
as he can whatever may open to him
He goes without respect for the man
ual industries, where he might find
work if he could do it.
DR.. Draper thinks it is time to or
ganize a wholly new form Of school
as a part of the public system, in
volving two classes, zone to train all
around mechanics for work In facto-
ries, where each is a part OF an or
ganization, and where much machinery
is used-these to be known as factory
schools; the other to train mechanics
to work independently, mainly with
their own tools, and without much ma
chinery-these to be known as trade
schools
That greater attention should be
paid to industrial training cannot be
denied, because the greater number Of
pupils, after they are forced to care
for themselves, engage in industrial
pursuits. Training young workmer
so that they may do better work and
thus earn more for themselves anC
their families is a plan so manifestly
sensible that no argument can be ad-
vanced against it.

The colonist rates which go into eff
feet September / and continue until
Q, tober 81. are of greater Importance
e. Washington and the Pacific north
west than to any other portion Of the
United States. The people are talking
about this section of the country; they
want to come here, and when they
come on one-way ticket in nine
cases out of ten they remain and be-
come prosperous citizens. Every COM
mercial organization, as well as every
citizen of Washington, should do their
part toward adding to the population of
the state during the 60 days Of these
colonist rates, by writing personal
letters to parties in the east who can
better their condition by coming this
way.

Paul Gilmore.

Paul Gilmore will open in "The Boys
of Company b. at Atlantic City in
September. Mr.. Gilmore will make an
ideal Tony Allen. the pride of Com
pany "B" and the idol of the girls
in all the country round. Standing six
feet in his stocking feet, as straight
as an arrow and with a we'll defined
military bearing, in his we'll fitting
khaki, he should be more the Beau
Brummell than ever. Mr.. Gilmore pos
sesses other gifts that should mate
rally aid him in his impersonation Of
the hero. He has a lively wit and an
overcharged personality. His work
appeals to and affects you with a
force and directness that suggests
high dramatic achievement. He has
amiability, cleverness, energy, daring,
industry and the charm of mimicry,
and is unaffected and natural-all of
which is Tony Allen. He will be here
again this season.

CANDIDATE TAFT'S LETTER.

The news dispatches tell us that
Candidate Taft is spending all of his
spare time this week in drafting his
letter of acceptance of the republican
nomination for the presidency, and one
can see at a glance that the candidate
will have no small job to reconcile his
alliance with Wall street interests, as
indicated by the platform on which he
stands, and a desire to carry out the
Roosevelt policies which is indicated
by the fact that President Roosevelt
dictated his nomination.
But after all, does it really matter
what Mr.. Taft says in his letter of &C &.
ceptance? Which will be the more
binding on the republican party, not
necessarily in the white house alone
but In congress where legislation is
really enacted-the candidates letter
OF acceptance or the platform on which
the party appeals to the suffrages OF
the people?
To the ordinary observer. it would
appear that the Chicago convention
composed of republican delegates from,
every section of the nation. and repre-
=
greSs, made the issues of this cam
paign.
When it voted down the proposition
to pledge the party to the enactment
of law providing for publicity OF
campaign contribu ions, it showed thai
the republican party was opposed te
this proposition, and no smooth phrases
of Candidate Taft can bind the party
to enact law for cleaner elections.
When the republican conventio,
voted down the proposition to pledge
the party to the enactment of a law
providing for the physical valuation
of railroads, it showed that the repu-
blican party was opposed to this pro-
position, and no promises of Candidate
Taft can pledge the party to make il
possible to secure an equitable ad.
Justment of the rate question.
When the republican convention
voted down the proposition to pledg,
the party to the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people, it showed that the republican
party was opposed to this measure
and no clever phrases of Candidat,
Taft can pledge the republican hous.
OF representatives or the republican
senate to the submission of consti.
tutional amendment covering thi:
needed reform.
Candidate Taft's declaration on tn,
question Of the abuse of injunctions
cannot possibly alter the fact tina
the republican party has declared il
favor of the re-enaetment of existins
law, word for word, and that over al
above this Candidate Taft's record Oh
the bench and his speeches prove no
only that he is warm admirer o.
the present practice with regard tt
injunctions. but that he is opposed t.
trial by jury.
Candidate Tafts letter of accept
ance will be read with interest be.

as laort, curdled milk spiced and
scented and bakalava cakes cooked in
honey. sprayed with rosewater and
coated with saffron favored whipped
cream.

Archimedes.

AS necaanician Archimedes pro-
duced the correct theory of the lever
and invented no less than forty inter
esting devices. including the endless
screw, the pump. the organ and the
burning glass;" with which latter
novel weapon he is said to have set
fire to the ships of an enemy's fleet
from a considerable distance. The sto.
ry is probably fabulous, but none the
less interesting, as exhibiting the faith
of the people in the man and as indi-
eating the character of his pursuits.
As engineer Archimedes was looked
upon as hardly less than a magician.
He produced catapults which threw
enormous stones and heavy pixies at
long range into the ranks of the enemy
or into his ships, and great derricks
were built by him with which 70 lift
the attacking craft out of water or TO
upset it. destroying all on board Ri6
proposed use of the lever meant the
production of the inconceivable inveI
tons In machinery and engineering
construction, and his own estimate Of
its Importance was expressed by the
familiar quotation, .Give me whereon
to stand and | will lift the earth
Archimedes was the first and perhaps
the most inventive and greatest IF
early engineers. His lever still moves
the world, and his spirit Is inherited
by generations of the men who have
made modern civilization possible

Grand Trunk system Rebuilt.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. II. 49, Many
prominent railway men, prgsmters and
civil engineers of the UniNd States

day to take part in celebration ar

tunnel under the Detroit river the
electrification OF which was recently
completed The tunAel extends from
Sarnia, Ont, to Port Huron, Mich,
and IL was al the latter point that
the ceremonies OF the day took place.
The electrifcation of the tunnel cost
the company upwards of 100000.
The work, however, was but a small
part of the gigantic task of recon
structing and standardizing the entire
Grand Trunk railway system. which
began ten years ago and has now been
completed. To put the Grand Trunk
in a position to take its place amnog
the great trunk lines of the East the
company has expended during these
ten years a sum approximating $685.
100000. In the rebuilding of the road
a total of COZ additional miles of dou,
BILE track have been constructed, at a
cost of $l5,O00.00O. which Is an in
crease in mileage of 40 per cent, and
which gives the system total double

of new rails was nearly $13,000,000
Nearly $S,O00,O0O was spent in renew
ing and Strengthening bridges, includ
ing nearly $2,O0O.0O0 expended upon
the great Victoria bridge. Nearly S13,-
100000 was spent in buying new
