DESCOUNTKNG FATE

There is no disputing the fact that
the modern man has to know more
than did his ancestor in a similar po-
sition. For this reason, the man who
has not a sufficient preparation, or as
some term it, education. to hold down
the job he would like to have, labors
under a delusion that Fate is against
him. There are plenty OF quotations
which would come into good play at
this juncture, but neither Shakespeare
nor Schiller will avail save to point
out that it all depends on the man him.
self.
At no point is this more to be seen
than in the very instances in which the
college boy is dismissed from college
because he has flunked. The opportu-
nifty was there and-well you know it
was not Fate.
We are about to speak Of the Y. NJ.
c. A. Night School.
Despite the usual prejudices in some
places against the atmosphere some
times encircling the Y. M. C. A., it will
not do to deride nor to patronize 1t by
assuming things to be existent in its
environment which are only by hear
say. And it is not a matter of much
surprise to have the same man who ia
railing against Fate and circumstances,
tell you that he will not 60 to night
school because it is under the auspices
of the Y. M. c. A.
There is only no way to get ahead
in this game called life. except to oe
ready to go ahead. This the night
school can do-and discount Fate. In
the courses outlined, the studies OF
English, Arithmetic. Writing and
Spelling; Mechanical Drawing, Book
keeping, Shorthand, First Aid to the
Injured and Automobile, appear. We
are informed that these things are
taught by men who are authorities in
their line.
Altogether, it would seem that for
the young fellow who wants to get
ahead--and is really in earnest about
it, the night school is particularly
good thing. The reason for the sue
cess or failure of such project is SIM
ply whether the young men who need
this sort Of thing can see the opportu-
nifty when it comes. If they can not,
a night school forced on them would
do no good.

ABOUT CRANE

The controversy, by no means settled
AZ yet, concerning the minister to Chi.
M, Mr.. Crane, seems uncalled for up
to the present time. The Washington
correspondent Of the Records Herald,
who, like all clever correspondents, is
ION" to official proceedings of the state
department, contributed to his paper a
short paragraph, mentioning no names,
in regard to the policy of the State De-
partment toward China and Japan.
The outgrowth of the affair was, tina.
the state department. instead of pass
ing the affair up as entirely without
foundation, was indiscreet enough to
acknowledge that this was it's policy
by publicly reprimanding Mr.. Crane
This not only had the effect of making
Mr.. Crane persona non grata, but also
made known the official policy of the
United States.
Such bungling. fortunately, does not
often occur in the state department. In
this case 1t savors even Of some petty
bureaucratic jealousy. This seems al
the more possible because of some un
pleasantness and total lack of co-opera
ton between the department and Mr.
Crane.
Up to this time, the American for.
cign affairs have enjoyed the reputa
ton of being we'll handled. Whether
the Crane incident is an exception OF
the present rule. It does not speak wei
for the service. Surely tact and dis
crction were not prominent in the af
fair.

We were but 100 miles from

stomachs of their hungry companions.
but there still remained a sufficient
pull OF well tried brute force for each
sled. and. though their noisy vigor had
been lost in the long drag. they still
broke the frigid silence with an occa-
sional outburst. A little fresh enthusi-
asm from the drivers was quickly fol-
lowed by canine activity.
We were in good trim to cover dis
lance economically. The sledges were
light; our bodies were thin. All the
muscles had shriveled. but the dogs
retained much Of their strength. Thus

In the forced effort which followed
we were frequently overheated. The
temperature was steady at A degrees
below zero F.. but perspiration came
with ease and certain amount OF
pleasure. Later, however. there fol-
lowed a train of suffering for many
days. The delight of the birdskin
shirt was changed for the chill Of the
wet blanket.

was warm enough to dry the furs in

we felt more keeniy the pangs of per-
SEPARATION than In all our earlier ad-
ventures.
The amber colored goggles were per-
sistently used. and they afforded a
protection to the eyes which was quite
a revelation. but in spite Of every pre-
caution our distorted. frozen. burned

We were curious looking savages.
The perpetual glitter induced squint
which distorted the face in a remark
able manner. The strong light reflect

muscles about the eye into a state OF
chronic contraction. The pupil was
reduced to a mere pinhOle.
There was no end Of trouble at hand
in endeavoring to keep the windows
Of the soul open. and all Of the effect
was run together in set expression
Of hardship and wrinkles which should
be called the boreal squint.

South's Growth in Population.

Fortunately. too, the growth has been
in the smaller towns, for while the

growth has not been SO large as that OF
the smaller towns. 1t is estimated that
thirty-four southern cities. which in

A Question Of Art,


A man once went to a problem play,
And there was fashion in glad array.
The things they said on the mimic
scene
Brought many a blush to his cheek,
ween.
And he shouted "boc," in the British
way,
And the others about him in fierce
dismay
Chided him sore for his guileful heart.
And said. BE silent, oh. fool; that's
art,"
So he steadied his nerve and he learn
ed to speak
The language Of those who boldly seek
To bring new thrills to the public mind
BY methods sturdier than refined
The self-same story he simply told.
They shuddered and said he was rude
ly bold.
"But It's art!" he cried. They ex-
claimed, Nay, nay!
IT'S only art when they make you

the Haverhill Gazette.

From the Haverhill Gazette.
New York city has thrown open its
first public trade Or vocation school
1t is not to be a trade school that will
turn out journeymen. although the
aim OF its instructors will be TO make
graduates as proficient as possible in
their chosen branches of manual labor.
The view in New York is that a boy of
fourteen is incapacitated for shop
work by his ordinary school training
and he must be taken under these
conditions and trained for the voca-
tional work that is ahead. He must
be given unconventional training in
line with his aspirations for at least
one-fourth Of his time, and then
trained under conditions which ap
proach as nearly as possible to these
which are encountered in actual shop
work as wage-earners. The launching
Of trade school enterprises by public
school systems throughout the country
lie to be attended by the application OF
the theories Of manual training and
trade school instructors. The idea OF
intoxicating respect among American
youth for labor with the hands will
have a development within the next
quarter of a century that will exert an
influence for the better in every de.
partment of industry.

Governor Marshall, will not
be cruel ascetic machine who
