MAKING CITIZENS IN TRADE
SCHOOLS.

Tn the Sunday Tribune's article on Dr..
Georc Kerschensteiner, superintendent
of schools in Munich, who Is now travel
ling about this country explaining his
work and ideas. we catch glimpse or
what one part of Germany is doing TO
contribute TO the empires marvellous in
dustrial efficiency. When DIR. kerschen-
steiner became head of Munich's schools
the so-called continuation schools, winch
bows leaving the public schools at about
fourteen to work for living were re-
al.ired to attend for certain number OF
hours a week, carried forward only the
bookish course of the elementary schools.
He has changed them into trade schools,
where each child may study, under more
advantageous conditions than in the
shop where he is apprenticed, the trade
which he is following. The employers
heartily support the change and are glad

schools. as well as TO supply materials TO
work upon: the parents are satlsned,
and the children themselves are SAID

bears directly upon the work they are
doing and enlarges their opportunities
With the employers, the parents and

SECRETART MEYERS REPORT.

In his annual report 10 the President

ment Of The service and rs an agency
Of the national defence. Mr.. Meyer has
succeeded in 4 large measure, in spite
Of narrow minded opposition in Con-
areSs. in reforming the administration
Of the Navy Department. cutting away
red tape and applying up-to-date cost
saving methods Although naval con
siruction has not halted and bigger
and e-oS7Iier battleships are being au-
thoriZed. the appropriations asked for
are getting smaller Those for 1310-1l
were S5.-sp0tspo less than those for 1909

responsibility is beginning 10 tell, and
every dollar voted by Congress now goes
about Ia per cent further than il did
before Mr. Meyers reforms were put
into practice.
The Secretary blazes i new path Of

las recently finished an inspection Of
eli the navy yards and stations. and
finds that the government Is greatly

The department has been maintaining

in the world. has learned that lesson:
for with navy twice the size of ours
it maintains only three first class navy
yards. while we maintain seven. Great
Britain has three second class navy
yards. and the United States has four.
Germany, with a feet about equal TO
ours. has three navy yards all told,
while we have eleven. The great extent
Of our coasts justifies a somewhat larger
ratio of yards TO naval strength than
prevails in Europe but it is evident
that many Of our yards and stations
have been kept in commission more for
political than for military reasons.
At present the Secretary recommends
the abandonment of the yards 1T New
Orleans and Pensacola on the Gulf
Coast and the enlargement of the base
at Guantanamo. Cuba. and the supple
mentary station for small craft at Key
West. Fla. He favors. of course, the
retention OF the two yards on the Pa
cific Coast The Atlantic Coast prob
lem. he SAYS. will be studied further.
There are six yards on this coast, in
close range Of one another. Evidently
one or more could be spared. Mr.. Meyer
suggests. moreover, that the naval res
ervations at San Juan, Porto Rico; Port
Royal. s. G: New London. Conn:
Sackett's Harbor. y. Y. and Cavite, in
the Philippines, be closed and sold
Such proposals could be made only by a
courageous administrator striking al
faults in a backward system. 1t will be
interesting 10 see how they are received
by Congress, which has so far shown a
regrettable disposition to keep the navy
as It is rather than TO improve and
modernize it,

idea is TO turn ont good citizens. He
believes that to produce men with what
he calls Joy Of work" in their heart
that is. pride in what they are doing and
n consciousness Of their efficiency-is the
way TO make good citizens. He holds
that In helping a boy TO find himself he
is fitting him for his civic duties, for
with that important discovery come the
steadiness. self-respect and well directed
effort which are characteristic of useful
manhood So the Munich educator
purposes are ethic and civic more than
industrial, though he uses Industrial ed
ucation to accomplish them.
DR.. observation-disclosures visit to this
country will inspire good deal OF DIS
cussion Of the industrial education PROB

it appears to be in Munich. would OF
course never bear direct transplantlns
to this country. 1t fits exactly into Ger
man society. where apprenticeship gen
orally prevails and where 80 per cent on
the boys who leave elementary schools
go directly into trades. The situation
here is by no means SO simple and the
temper of the people is vastly different.
But there is one thing at least about
the Munich educators practices, that
America might take seriously TO heart.

WATER As MERCHANDISE.

somewhat novel question has been
raised in the federal courts through the
determined efforts of Il water company
in New Jersey 10 supply Staten Island
with potable water. The company was
restrained from laying its pipes under
the Kill van Kull at first by court pro-
ceedings. and then by an act of the Legs
IatlIre. which was passed for fhe speclhc
purpose of preventing such diversion OF
v,ater from the state. 1t was argued
that the large and rapidly growing COM
munities in the northeastern part OF New
Jersey would iii time. need for their own
usas all the available supply of potable
wafer. and that TO divert part OF that
sunplv to another state would be con-
trarv To the welfare of New Jersey ana
an infringement OF the natural rights of
its people.
Now the company which was thus
hafled brings suit against the state for
the annulment of the prohibitive laws as
unconstitutional, partly because by pre-
venting the company from carrying out
IFS bargain to supply Staten Island with
water they impair the validity of con-
tract: partly because they deprive the
company of some of its property without
conpensa ting it therefor; and partly, and
chiefly. because they are in restraint of
trade. being an inhibition against the
sale Of an article Of commerce. The

not very seriously regarded. and the fight

A Trial Package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.
The Able Spallanzani was the first
scientist to study systematically the
chemical powers of the gastric juice,
but it was by the careful and convinc-
ing experiments of Beaumont that the
foundation OF our exact knowledge Of
Its composition and action was laid.
Beaumont was an army surgeon, To-
Gated at an obscure military post in
Michigan, while it was yet a terri
tory, and was called upon to treat a
gun shot wound OF the stomach in a
Canadian Voyageur-AleXis st. Martin.
When the wound healed a permanent
opening was left by means Of which
food could be placed in the stomach
and gastric juice taken from it,
Beaumont made scientific expert
ments with his crude means and wrote
a book, which today is recognized
among the classics of physiology.
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientists so that today medicine knows
what the stomach does with food and
what food does to the stomach.
Science also knows what the gastric
juices are and how to make them best
Tor the system.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. thanks
to the poor army surgeon and Alexis
st. Martin, give man a means of di-
gesting food, replenishing the exhaust
ed juices, soothing the nerves and cor
recting dyspeptic conditions of the
