PROF. HAYES ON THE VOCA-
TIONAL SCHOOL.

Prof. Willet VI. Hays, Assistant Sec
rotary of the Department of Agricul-
ture, Is the author of a bulletin
on Education for Country Life" which
is attracting notice among teachers and
students in Washington and through
out the country. 1t opens wide the
question as TO the value Of the voca-
tional school, the schools which fit the
boy or girl for definite calling and
which have in mind not only the educa-
ton of the intellect, but the training
of the hand TO earn the all-important
bread and butter. It is needless to say
this question is one on which there are
widely differing opinions in the educa-
tional world.
Prof. Hays Is an advocate Of the
school which both educates and fits for
a definite calling. He believes that the
little red school house and the rural
school as commonly known should give
way TO the consolidated rural school TO
which the pupils of a township can be
hauled in proper vehicles lie believes
further in the country high school.
where the boy can be taught agricul-
ture and the girl trained how 20 run a
home, and in the city high school where
the boy can acquire manual training
and the girl a knowledge Of home eco
Monies And above these, he would
have the State agricultural colleges and
other colleges and universities Thus.

BUREAU OF HEALTH HAS
MUCH TO COMMEND 1T.

a highly interesting series of ques-
tions is opened up by the fact that
President Taft viii recommend to the
next session of Congress the establish
ment of a bureau of health. The Presi-
dent will ask that legislation for the
establishment of such bureau be pass
ed next winter. 1t is the purpose to
consolidate all the various Federal
health agencies.
The idea has much to commend it.
The science of sanitation, the efficacy
of quarantine, the work of prevention
of disease, and other phases of the pres
ervation Of national health have become
highly important and successful. 1t
would seem there should be no scatter
ing of ammunition.
Congress, however, is likely to raise
sharply the question whether this is
laying the foundation for a new execu-
tive department and new Cabinet of
ficer, and to look asksnce on the prop
ositiOn unless it is made clear the move
ment viii stop with establishment of
bureau.

VACCINATION PERIOD
EXTENDED TEN DAYS

Trouble With Pupils
Parents.

With the compulsory vaccination law

ures caainst smallpox. At the eNpira-
ton OF that time it is expected that
ali new pupils who have not been pre-
viousIy vacciuated shall have 10 sub
init TO an injection of the vaccine virus.
Each year there has been some oppo-
sition TO the compulsory vaccination
law. some parents holding that the in
lection OF the virus. in some instances,
proves more harmful than the disease
itself. In the past strenuous objections
have enliVeued the vaccination period
at the opening of the schools. The au-
thorities, how ever, are expecting but lit
tie opposition this year inasmuch as
the public is now we'll educated TO the
fact that the law makes vaccination
compulsory, and that those in charge
of the schools have no alternative Ten
days is considered by them to be ample
time for compliance with the health
regula atoms.
