The historic old Balm Of Gilead
tree at Vancouver, Washington, that
was swept away by the Columbia
River during the past week will be
missed by old residents of the state.
To this tree, the legend goes. the
Lewis and Clark expedition tied their
canoes on their famous journey of ex
ploration to the Pacific Ocean. This
tree marked the landing spot for the
Hudson Bay fur traders, too, in 1924.
From the. tree, all surveys in that
portion of Western Washington we're
started. 1t is to be regretted that the
historic landmark was not saved.

If Is estimated that so per cent OF
the children who attend school leave
without high school education. and
VET from the beginning to the end OF
our school system the courses are
mainly preparatory for higher train
ing. The result is that the great ma
ioritv of children leave school with
absolutely no technical training to
fit them for any one kind of work.
This lack Of industI ial education is
apparent to every intelligent foreigner
who visits this country. A few years
ago the German government sent
commission here to Investigate quiet
ly our educational system and to Te-
port upon it with reference to its bear
ing Oh industries in which both coun-
tries are engaged. The commission
emphasized our energy, resources.
our advantage in coast lines. etc. hut
added that we were so seriously hand
icapped by disadvantages of which we
we're unconscious that there was no
need to fear any serious Industrial
competition from this country. The
commission pointed out one Of these
disadvantages to be an entire absence
of provision for public schools sup
plying systematic instruction IN
craftsmanship and asserted that this
lack "is sufficient to overcome any
natural advantage in resources or
geographical situation. Germany
has a wonderfully efficient system
for training her young people In var
ious skilled yocations and its value
is apparent. In various parts of this
country a small start has been made
toward industrial education but the
matter is still in lis infancy. In
many large cities. however. trade or
CARNATIONS have interested themselves
in the subject and are sending teach
ers to Germany to study at first hand
the best industrial schools in tie
world and bring back to this country
the benefit of their experience.
