During the past two or three years
the American public has been treated
to much comment and suggestion on
the matter of trade education. In the
industrial centers there are local So
cieties actively promoting TINS opJecs'
while the National Society for the FRO
motion of Industrial Education Is ue-
signed to advance the interests OF the
new idea in a national way.
Meantime Americas oldest and most
progressive labor organization-the IN
ternational Typographical unloh-has
formulated and launched a system OF
technical education that furnishes as
play, job and other compositors an OPP
portunity to acquire a knowledge OF
the principles underlying good typo
graphy which cannot be taught III
printing offices. Owing to the dlVersl-
fled needs of it's nearly $4,000 members,
including printers in small country
towns and those in the largest metro
politan offices, the union was compelled
to adopt the correspondence system,
but the instruction is impaired along
the lines of the best and most modern
educational methods.
The art schools have been levied on
for the benefit of the working printer
The principles of design and color har-
mony are taught scientifically, the stu
dents applying them to practical work,
done in type or by stencil sketches,
under the personal supervision of COM
petent instructors. Heretofore educa-
ton in Typography has been by the
empirical method, but the International
Typographical union course aims at
showing the ''how" and why of good
Typography in a scientific manner. The
student first masters the underlying
principles and then solves the trade
problems submitted to him in the light
of that knowledge. The keynote of the
instruction is found in Ruskins aphor-
ism, Unity and simplicity are the
sources of beauty"
The expense of the course is but $50
which does not cover the cost of out
fit, tuition, postage, etc AS purely
commercial venture, it would cost at
least $780, but the Typographical union,
in order to stimulate and encourage the
study of their art by printers, defrays
all advertising and other promotial eX-
penses out of its funds, and in addition
gives a rebate or prize of SO TO each
student who finishes the lessons with
ordinary diligence and intelligence.

TEN HE members of the Independent
Order of Foresters are much in
II terested in The Herald's Alaska
yukon Pacific exposition contest. They
have a, representative Forester in the
contest in the person of Bro. R. G..
Doyle, the versatile court deputy Of
Court Glad Hand. Brother Doyle de-
serves, andA surely will get, the hearty
support of the membership, as he Is a
loyal Forester and always in the ranks
of the workers, particularly in the line
of barbecues and decorating. He Is
one of the heavyweight sprinters OF the
order and all-round sportsman who can
hold his own in any class. 1t is pleas
ing to see that he is in the lead among
the fraternals, and surely the Foresters
will give him their assistance and Will
see that the order sends him as their
representative to Seattle as the guest
of The Herald.

The offer of the organizing depart

the workers in the courts, and a large
number have already entered the con-
test. If you have not heard of it you
had better call up Brother Hand OF
the high court Office for particulars and
get on the busy list. This is going to
be a busy summer with the Foresters
and there will be something of inter-
est doing all the time.

FRA TERNAL AND SECRET SOCIETIES
ROYAL COURT

j !. !. !. !. !: !.
The Good Samaritan club
was entertained at the
L-EGI0A.A home of Courtier and Lady
'\AMGA#o1 Felch, 20S East Sixteenth
\ 49, ] street, Friday night. The
decorations were in the
- colors of the order and
made a beautiful setting for the ladies
and courtiers present. The whist tables
were more numerous than have ever
been playing this season. Lady Fetch
was assisted by the Misses Black, her
two charming sisters, residents of Mon
treal, Canada. The whist prizes were
won by Miss Young, Mrs. Ramsay
Allan Young and John S. Jones. After
the whist refreshments were served.
The entertainment given by Pico as
sembly No. last Monday night was
one of the best ever given by any
fraternal order in the city. The num-
bers on the program were all so eXcep-
tionally good that it would be almost
impossible to pick out any one number
and that "This is the best" The
traVelogue given by Courtier Ballou,
assisted by Courtier Robinson with
views by the Pacific Stereopticon com
pany, was something of a surprise to
the audience, as these numbers are sell
dom seen outside of the large lecture
circuits. The subject, Yellowstone
Park" appealed to the members of the
western part of the Union as pelnS
something particularly western and TO
the eastern people a revelation of the
west. The violin selections of Prof.
John Polak, assisted by r. j. Polak,
were also the offering of a master per-
former Dancing was in order after
the entertainment and cards were ar
ranged in the parlors. The attendance
was all that could be desired and
shows that a first class entertainment,
such as Pico assembly always gives
will draw first class audiences.
Los Angeles assembly No. held open
house last Tuesday and entertained
with it's regular monthly open meeting.
Garfield hall, where the assembly
meets, was comfortably crowded ana
the program offered by the committee,
David Swing, with violin selections, and
the Misses Davidson on the piano mr.
nished the musical numbers which
pleased the music lovers among the
audience. E. H. Bonnell, an excep-
tional versatile entertainer, with selec-
lions on the autoharp, changing TO
songs in ragtime.. harmonica playing
and sand dancing effects with whlsk
broom entertained the comedy lovers.
An address by Chancellor Sam j. CHAP
pei explaining the real meaning or
fraternity as exemplified by the teach
ings of the royal court, concluded the
set part of the entertainment. Dane
ing and whist then claimed the indul-
gence of the majority.

4 new scheme of. street Improvement
has been suggested to the city council
street Improvement as carried out in
cities that are striving for civic beauty,
and which is very favnrahiy considered
by the town council He suggests that
in the residence districts parking strips
he left along the streets by placing a
walk five fee, from the property line and
leaving ten-foot park strip between
the sidewalk line and the gutter. This
would leave width of thirty feet for
street purposes, which is sufficient for
resident districts and reduces the>cost
of maintenance Of the streets. while
enhancing the beauty Of the town.
