DON'T SELECT THE CHILD's OCCUPATION.
By Rev Madison G., Peter

Many ambitious parent forces boy to
become a preacher, doctor or lawyer when
measuring dry goods would have been the
fttest thing for him to do. while, on the con-
trary, we find parents taking boys out of
school at IA to sell dry goods whose skill in
hair splitting, whose adroitness at parry and
thrust and whose fertility of resource in
every exigency show that nature designed

NEED OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
By Edwin q. Cooley.

Within recent years there has sprung up
widespread demand for Industrial education.
1t comes from the manufacturer, profession
al man, mechanic farmer and educator. In
dustrial education .,:s probably different
meaning for each of these types Of individ-

is that 1t Is something not found In adequate

The Learners.

Last Saturdays meeting of The
Learners, which was held with Mrs.
W. K Mendenhall, was quite as in
teresting as the meetings of the club
usually are. The principal paper was
read by Miss Laverne Morris, her
subject being "Ruskin as an Econo-
mist" 1t made quite an appropriate
and logical sequel to the very in
teresting paper by Mrs. Mason, en-
titled tRuskin's view of the conduct
of life which was contributed by
Mrs w. H Mason at the preceding
meeting of the club. Mrs. Mason
paper set forth the views of the great
Englishman on the education of the
child of which the predominating
ideas were that, to achieve the best
results in teaching a child. he must
be made to feel that he is useful, and
that, to attain the desired aim in
teaching a child to be good, the teach
er himself must be good In Miss
Morris paper which was equally as
interesting the Ruskin view as to the
uplifting of the lower classes, by
teaching them to admire the artis-
tic, the appreciation of hand work
instead of machine made products,
was effectively explained. interest
ing discussion of the views and life
of Ruskin followed the reading of
these papers.

or COURSE.

OF course. the Brownsville road is
not to be transferred to the Frisco.
That's what Albert T. Perkins. man
aging director of the road. says-and
surely Mr.. Perkins ought to know.
But lets see. In his interview in
the Houston Post, Saturday. Mir. Per.
kins stated that B. F. Yoakum chair
man OF the executive board of the
Rock Island-Frisco system and presi-
dent of the Brownsville road. has a
considerable interest in the Browns
vile lne9-and surely Mr. Perkins
ought to know Now. the fact is. no
one who pretends to be posted has
any doubt whatever that the Browns
vile road is destined to be a part of
the Rock Island-Frisco. system The
only reason it was not turned over
long ago was that the ST. Louis Union
Trust Company. which built the road,
was not willing to turn over the mag
nifcent land holdings which the COM
pany obtained along the route of the
road as a bonus That some salts
factory arrangement has been ar
rived at between the builders and the
buyers of the road is doubtless true.
Perhaps Twelfth street may be
part of the "quid pro quo" That the
Rock Island-Frisco system will &C
quire possession of the Brownsville
road if it is not already virtually
the owner of it. is evident. The con-
slant interest which the Rock Island
Frisco officials display in the Browns
vile line, over which they have made
such frequent trips of inspection. the
fact that the same officials have
bought extensive land interests along
the Brownsville line, the immense
sums spent by the Rock Island-Frisco
system in advertising the Brownsville
country, the fact that the homeseek-
ers' excursions which have been SO
largely instrumental in developing
line were instituted by that system.
all go to prove that the Rock
Island-Frisco system expects to own
the Brownsville line 1t is absurd
for Mr.. Perkins to say otherwise and
it would be very simple on the part of
Brownsville to believe him.

TIE SEWER Project.

While the sewer project seems for
the time to have been overlooked,
yet The Herald is assured that the
citizens having this important matter
in hand have not actually for mo-
ment forgotten it. but have been con-
sidering the ways and means and also
the plan for a sewer system as pro
posed by the Houston engineering
firm with whom the citizens have
been negotiating. Along this line,
The Herald today presents letter
written by a member of the firm to
the citizens committee which is in
charge of the sewer proposition in
which the plan of the company is
clearly defined. While there may be
room for some Improvements, yet the
plan as a whole appears both feasible
and reasonable, and The Herald
hopes that no obstacles may prevent
the adoption of prompt steps to in
sure the early construction of the
sewer system. There is such pressing
need for this Improvement here,
that it should command the imme-

CONTROLLED BY TEN MEN
Snuff and Tobacco Business is in Their
 Hands.

Snuff and Tobacco Business is in Their
 Hands.
 Herbert Knox Smith, chief of the bureau of corporations. says that ten men absolutely control the tobacco and snuff business of this continent, with the exception of the manufacture of cigars, and the colossal trust has throttled almost every vestige of real competition. They have gained their hold on the trade by the interruptions use @f vast sums of money, by deoeiving the public, by resorting to all manner of schemes, and by the fieroest price-cutting that the commercial world has ever known.
 These men are alleged to be J. B.. Duke (president of the company, A. N. Brady, O. H. Payne, P. A. B. Widener, Thomas F. Ryan, B. N. Duke, G. B. Schley, the brokerage firm of Moore & Schley, and the estates of W. O. Whit ney and W. l.. Elkins.
 One of the favorite plans of the trust Mr. Smith says, was to bay up an inde- pendent plant that had made its reputa- ton on its antitrust record, it's fair dealing with union labor, or its time honored squareness to its customers, and to operate it still as an "independ. ent' or antitrust" concern.
