MARSHAL SAVED HER.
Chapman Officer Did Good Deed for
Girl.

On last Saturday morning young
girl about 16 years Of age landed In
our city on the local, and was wan
dering around town, when Marshal
Banning's attention was called to
her. Mr.. Banning having a card
from the Sheriff of Wakeney with
the description of young girl want
ed at that place, began to question
this girl, at first she refused to give
her name or address but after being
put under arrest she soon told who
she was and where she was from.
He at once phoned to Ellsworth to
the sheriff of that place and found
that three young girls had formed a
plot to leave and only one got away.
The young lady whose name is Whip
pie thanked Mr.. Banning for the
way he had treated her by arresting
her and returning her to her people
who were also more than grateful
to him, for no telling what a few
more days would have brought forth.

DUNKARD BRETHREN HAD
DISTRICT SESSION AT NAVARRO
Meetings Well Attended and Good
Interest Maintained.

Navarro, Oct. 30.--This town has
had the opportunity Of entertaining
church conference, which was, COM
pared to the size Of the town, thing
Of no small Importance. The church
Of the Brethren (Dunkards) have
Just closed a three days confer
ence, which represented some Of the
strongest men and women, the active
church workers and delegates, Of that
church from the northeast quarter
Of Kansas. which 10 called the north
east District Of Kansas Conference.
A strong delegation were in repre-
sentation in the meeting throughout,
and the spirit Of the meeting was
fine. The work Of the conference
moved on along three different lines.
1st. The Sunday school convention
which lasted Sunday and Monday
morning. The improved methods
that were suggested and the admoni-
tons to greater conservation bespeak
an awakened area in Sunday school
work. Our beloved State Sunday
School Secretary and fellow citizen
OF thisscounty was with US to give
suggestions and inspiration In his
own able way. The county Sunday
school superintendent was also with
US.
Monday afternoon the ministers,
pastors and elders held q ministerial
meeting, an open session, which was
quite helpful to all. Especially the
ministry. Monday evening a strong
missionary sermon was preached by
Rev. ]. R. Frantz of Beattie, Kan.
Tuesday the district conference
proper was organized with Elder Geo.
Manon of this county moderator. This
conference handles queries and prob
lens of the different churches. 1t
also called for our general confer
ence to be held in Topeka or Kansas
City as shall be decided hereafter
In 1911.
But to mention the pleasing and
helpful features Of this meeting and
forget the hospitality of the neigh
bors and friends as well as the resi-
dent members, would be to forget
the one thing that, from human
standpoint, did most to make the
meeting enjoyable. So with the great
est Of pleasure we present to the
readers Of the Reflector our resolu-
lions Of thanks:
"Inasmuch as It has pleased our
Heavenly Father to again permit US
to enjoy another District Meeting, be
It therefore resolved:
First, That we be very grateful to
our Divine Father for the spiritual
uplift and inspiration we have re-
ceived during these hallowed asso-
Citations.
Second, To those who so kindly
and successfully ministered to our
wants on the dining hall.
Third, To the members and friends
in and around Navarro who opened
their hearts and houses to us, and
who BY their kind hospitality made
It possible for US to enjoy this feast
Of soul.-E. F. Sherry.

TO TEACH BOYS
USE OF TOOLS
Industrial Training Urged in Public
Schools.
Strong Arguments Made Before The
Federation OF Labor-Where Eu-
ropean Countries Are Ahead OF
The United States-Work OF The
Y. NJ. G. A. In Training Boys De-
scribcd BY Sec. Towson.

Washington, d. C. Especially The
social and industrial conditions in
the United States demand that in
dustrlal education for rich and poor
alike should be lemocratized.
This conclusion was reached by
many prominent leaders of working
men and industrial educators, ad-
dressing the American Federation of
Labor's committee on industrial edu-
cation here. Suggesting that Euro
pean countries were far ahead of
the United States in the matter of
fitting young girls and boys for a
trade, Charles +. Richards, of New
New York, originator of the National
Society for the Promotion of Indus
trial Education, argued that the
committee should fight for a plan
that should relieve the American
schoolboy of the confusing plight of
not knowing what to do when turn
ed away from the school. He declared
that more than one-fourth of the
boys left the public schools in New
York before graduation because they
were sick of it." This he regarded
as an appalling fact, due to the lack
of industrial training which they
were forced to acquire elsewhere.
In the schools, he said, there should
be injected practical constructive
work that would fit the pupil for his
future career. He deprecated the
fear which he said existed that trade
schools would flood the labor mark
ct and said that this phase of the
question was only subordinate to the
big issue of extending industrial edu-
cation.
Vice President James Duncan, of
the Federation, strongly endorsed
the proposition of introducing indus
trial training into the last grades of
the grammar schools. The courses
of instruction, he asserted, now de-
veloped children to much along pro-
fessional lines and that a youth with
an inclination for mechanical pur-
suits was turned out "misiit" be-
cause his mind had been developed
along the wrong line This view
found favor with a large number of
labor leaders who expressed them
selves as believing that the best So
luton of the problem was the teach
ing of more technical courses in the
common schools.
