ALTERNATE WORK WITH STUDY.

Il
unique educational undertaking Is
to be tried out in the public schools of
Chicago, which will be fraught, if it
is successful. with remarkable adj
vantages to boys, and possibly also to
girls. who are compelled to. go to work
for a living as soon as they are old
and strong enough and before they have
secured anything near the measure that
is coming to them in the way of an
education.
1t is proposed that a class of boys,
all of whom are now employed be di-
vided up into pairs. Through an agree
ment with several of the large employ
ers in Chicago. who have entered eager
ly into the plan, each pair of boys will
be assigned to the same work. One
of them will work at the job for one
week and then go to school for a week
while his partner will take his place
both at work and at school. Some of
the more philanthropically inclined of
the employers who are parties to the
plan have agreed to pay the boys in
their employ full time, even while they
are in school. 1t is proposed to teach
the pupils in these classes along the
lines of elementary industrial courses
W hich will train them in their vocations,
as we'll as provide them with a general
schooling.
If this plan works out as it's trainers
think it willard there does not appear
to be any good cause why it should
not-there is no reason why it should
rot be made a part of the educational
system in every city of any size in
the country. Topeka would seem to be
fine field for it where it could be
apprenticeship systems in the Santa Fe
shops.
The opportunities it presents for bene-
fcent results are many. The employer
who goes into the plan does not have
his work hindered in any way for one
boy is always on the job. Unless he
is so generous as to pay full time to
the boys while they are in school he
is not out of pocket and if he did
he would probably be saving money in
the long run, for with better educated
boys in his plant it is reasonable to
suppose that he would get much better
work out of them. From the standpoint |
of the boys it is all that could be de- |
sired because IT affords them the means |
of securing an education which would |
otherwise be denied them.
Certainly the experiment which is to |
be started on it's trial in Chicago this |
month will be watched with interest |
the entire country where |
there is a disposition these days among |
employers and everybody else to help
boys in all possible ways who show any |
to help themselves. Many a |
boy has started in to work in fac
tory and shop who has stayed in the
same rut all his life because he never
had any opportunity to acquire an ed
ucation that might develop the latent |
talents for greater things of which he
might be possessed.

A Steel Canal.

In connection with the Nile irriga-

steel canal $500 feet in length has
been constructed to distribute water
from the service reservoir to the
earth canals. In section, this metallic
canal is semicircular, 20 feet broad
and IL feet deep. 1t is made up of II
sections, connected by expansion
and the riveted steel plates of which
it consists are millimeters in thick
ness. During the construction the en-
gineers were troubled, among other
things, by the unequal expansion of
the metal. The expansion was greatest

THE THEATER TRUST,

AS was to have been expected
Klaw and Erlanger. the New York
magnates at the head of the most
reprehensible of all monoDolies, the
theatrical trust, have endeavored to
punish the members of the West
ern Theater Managers association
for their temerity and decent desire
to serve their patrons with all of the
best attractions in the show world
that get out on the road. These
managers not long ago decided on
an "open door, policy. They
thought that they and their patrons
had been held by the throat long
enough. They announced that they
would book all shows for their
theaters that came their way
whether they were produced by the
independents" by the trust or any
one else. But Klaw and Erlanger,
ever known to be most vindictive,
have come back with the announce
ment that they will refuse to book
any of their shows in any house that
throws its doors open to the Shu-
berts or any other Independent"
productions. Not only that but they
have cancelled all their existing
contracts with the theaters in west
ern cities which have declared for
the open door This means that
many productions booked for western
theaters during the coming season
will not be presented. The Western
Theater Managers association in
tend to take this phase of the situa-
ton to the courts but by the time
a final decision is reached, the pres
emit season will be over. They may
be able to get damages from Klaw
and Erlanger but this won't be much
salve to the patrons of the theaters
for it must be conceded that many
of the actors, actresses and plays
which are controlled by the trust
are among the best in the country
This means that the theatrical
situation in the west will be in about
the same undesirable situation that
it has always been in that as many
good shows will not come alorg this
winter as the people would like to
see. But there is this satisfaction in
the present condition of affairs
Many of the real stars in the
theatrical armament and many of
the best plays have broken away
from the trust and are under the
management of the Shuberts and
other independents" Most of them
which get on the road will come this
way, and, for the most part, through
out the smaller cities of the west,
they will present new faces and
productions which have never been
seen here before. Because until just
about the close of last season when
some of the western managers be-
gan to break away from the trust
it was impossible to see an Gin
dependent show in any theater that
booked with the Klaw and Erlanger
crowd. With that aggregation it is
always a case of whole hog or none
at all.
But things won't always be this
