EDUCATION OF LABOR

Organized labor has taken distinct step for ward in the specific recognition by the American Federation of the value of industrial education The time is not long past when the manual train ing school and the more advanced trade schools were viewed askance, and in some instances openly opposed by members of the unions. They insisted upon the old system of apprenticeships, and moreover, upon limited number of ap- prentces Theirs was the old fear of an over supply of skilled craftsmen, fear allied to the belief now shown to be an economic delusion in the arbitrary restriction of output, which found one expression in opposition to improved ma chinery
 But now the federation has approved the declaration of a committee, headed by John Mitchell, that the future welfare of America largely depends on the industrial training of our workers" More specifically, the federation has declared in favor of associating with the public school system classes in which boys and girls "may be taught the principles of the trades" The resolutions even prescribe this course of instruction:
 English, mathematics, physics chemistry elementary mechanics and drawing the shop instruction for the various trades the drawing mathematics mechanics physical and biological applicable the trade the history of trade, and sound system of economies including and Phasizing the philosophy of collective bargaining"
 That phrase "collective bargaining, it may be noted, implies negotiation and agreement be- tween employer and employed, which would not be practicable for wage earners unless acting together, that is to say, unless organized If that principle be taught in the trade schools, the unions need have no fear and may devote themselves to making their membership truly cumulative in character and in industrial knowl- edge.

OUR BAREFooTED DAYS

Poets may sing them in their sweetest songs. artists paint them in the brightest colors. and our memories may deceive us regarding the days of long ago, when we were bows on the farm or in the village, but sober reflection. with the glamour omitted, leads to the belief that more myths date back only a score or so of years than stretch to the days when the world was III its infancy How many of us of mature years had the comforts, much less the convent ences, of modern lifeg The great majority grew up without street car service without gas or electric light without steam radiators in our rooms, without the telephone and without an abundant water supply for the kitchen and bath.
 The old swimming hole sounds romantic. and there were many days of bliss But the boy of today has so many other sources of pleasure and delight that he would scorn the swimming hole 1t IS by contrast that pleasures are de- rived. The lad of forty years ago was forced to get up at daybreak, go out into a dew,laden pasture and drive in the horses and cows. he had to carry in wood and in some cases start the kitchen fire; and some of us were reouired to do part of the milking
 When we were fortunate enough to find 2 nioo red apple after the holidays it was treat in deed; when half dozen oranges were brouobt from the grocer's, it meant delight that was not forgotten for days Instead of going to see tne pest actors and actresses of the age, the lad oi our memory was supremely happy at the thought of going to see the circus once year. u was an anticipation that surpasses anything within the range of possibilities today.
 What were at one time comforts almost be- yond belief have now become necessities. while our conveniences have multiplied many fold and iuxuries are steadily growing in number. Wonld you voluntarily live over those days? Wonld you take them in preference to being boy of the present dayg Most of us would not.

 In the senatorial election in North Dakota next year there will be two places to be filled. Senator McCumber's term expiring and tbe Johnson vacancy to be filled by election. The state primary law makes no provision for pop ular vote to fill vacancy, but it is considered likely the secretary of state will require candi- dates to specify whether they are candidates for the long or the short term.
 Many democrats belonging to the New York state organization are looking forward with curiosity, II not anxiety, to the report of the committee on credentials in the state conven- ton next year, when complete ticket from gov ernor down IS to be nominated. The contest for control of that committee, it is figured, will be very close between Charles F. Murphy and Cnalrman William J. Connors and his friends.

THE ETERNAL FEMININE

It need not be supposed that even feminine fashions can evolve something new under the sum-
 A learned Egyptian discloses that the sheath gown was popular among the ladies of the Nile fifteen centuries before the Christian era. One gown was made of fine linen, adorned with eIab- crate designs.
 The professor thinks that the slit in the side was intended to display the wearer's precious anklets
 These ancient ladies also dressed their hair elaborately with puffs and padding They paint ca thelr faces and lips as shown by rouge and pomade jars.
 All of this IS reassuring to man, who may have thought that some of the modern deyelon- nents of the dressmaker were without precedent in their eccentricity.
 Once more is demonstrated the fit complyno of the words eternal " and feminne.''

full, and relatives and friends who min
istered to him kindly and tenderly sell
dom heard him murmur or complain.
