feature. Professor Sargent, of the art
department of the University of Chi
cago, after thorough inspection, en-
dorsed the Course. In, answer to a
question, the professor said he, could
not give students as good service as
the Course instructors, for the reason
that he is not printer. 1t is claimed
that one of the important reasons for
the success of this Course is that it
was prepared for printers by printers.
This subordination of the pedagOgne
to the mechanic or artisan is moot
and interesting question in the organi-
cation of trade schools of an" descrip-
ton.
The Commission having the unions
venture in charge claims that it has
achieved success, and points to an en-
rollment of nearly eighteen hundred
students in thirty months .oof
Some of these Students give their
opinion of the Course in the booklet
before us. Among them are two men
more than sixty years old, one Aof
whom has secured the best job he ever
had, as result of taking the Course;
the other who has had little opp9rtun-
ity to become proficient in the better
DouiDo oIocO IF nriOfiD0 couc tho
Course has taught him more of the
right kind of stuff than he had learned
in many years. A young man Of TWEEN
ty jubilantly tells that his salary has
been raised Sc week, and he is ex-
pecting more. An English-bred stu
dent declares that the Course beats
the seven-year apprenticeship that is
required of British printers. A New
Yorker, who complains OF having been
"railroaded" through his apprentice
ship, says that at thirty-one years Of
age he found in the /. T. U. Course all
that he could have learned in the
Office, and more. There is also a
young printer who has become an
ad-writer and designer, who is sure
the instruction given has enabled him
to hold his new job. An ad-compositor
on a daily newspaper says he had
learned many things during the
course which he had never heard of
before, while a Wisconsin printer
says the quality of his work has i'm
proved one hundred per cent.
All this is in keeping with the pur-
pose Of typographical unions, which
spend from $4,000 to $4,000 a year so
that printers may receive this informa-
ton at .ess than cost. The skill of
it's members has always been an i'm
portant asset of the typographical
union. The specialization of work
which now prevails in industry has
practically abolished the apprentice
ship system. These and other things
have tendency to depreciate the
skill of individual printers, thereby
weakening the power of the union. 1t
met the situation in businesslike
way, and indoing SO. not only supplied
the need of an apprenticeship system
but is imparting knowledge that can
not well be given in printing-ofice.
The instruction anticipates the best
quality and most remuperatiRe print
ing of the future, and it is conceded
that it will do much toward keeping
American printers the world leaders.

COLLECTOR INDICTED ON
MISUSE OF MAIL CHARGE
Chinese Accused of Smuggling
Opium from Mexico

Six indictments were returned by the
federal grand jury yesterday and three
persons were arrested.
G. p. Murphy was arrested charged
with misuse Of the mails. He gave
bond in the sum of $1,000 and was re-
leased to appear for examination be-
fore Judge Wellborn Monday Murphy
is accused of sending advertisements
for collecting agency printed in large
type on the outside of envelopes. In
this way, it is asserted, reflection
is cast upon the person to whom the
mail Is sent.
Ling. Sang and NJ Sing, Chinese
charged with smuggling opium into
the United States, were arrested by
e. Granger and j. B. Martin at San
Diego. They were sent to the San
Diego Jail and will be brought to the
Los Angeles county Jail tomorrow.
The men claimed to work on YES
sci travelling between San Diego and
Salina Cruz, Mexico. They are alleged
to have been buying the drug in Mex
leo at low figure and then smuggling
it to San Diego, where 1t sold at about
$25 per small can. The price in the
United States is high, caused by the
law prohibiting it's importation.
J. e. Schweng and w. e. Winnie
were arrested by Deputy United States
Marshal G.. Q. White. The men were
charged with misuse of the mails for
the advertising of an Illegal device.

Clubs

"The one weapon which women al
ways have held, and which they al
most never have used to solve the So
cial problem is that of the single
standard of morality" said Alice Steb-
bins Wells in her address before the
Highland Park Ebell club yesterday.
Mrs. Wells spoke concerning the So
cial problems of yesterday and today,
and in presenting her Mrs. Jane Beat
ty, president of the club, said:
1--WE will probably realize that If we
had taken more care of our social
problem yesterday we would find 1t
easier to solve today"
Mrs. Wells spoke first of the ad-
vancement of women in the last ten
or fifteen years, and of the differ
ence between "the workers and the
shirkers."
"As long as there is a rush of three
girls for every one vacancy proprle-
tors and managers can pay what
wages they like to clerks, stenogra-
pliers and factory hands," she said
1.-THE one preat avenue for a large
part of this excess labor would be
found il housework were raised to the
same standard that these occupations
have, but not to the rank of pro-
fession."
Mrs. Wells suggested that house
keepers could organize, adopt a stand
ard of wages, decide upon the sort of
room which ought to be provided for
such girls, and the hours of liberty and
privileges as to visiting and entertain
ing which would be proper and by
making these general rules girls would
recognize housework in it's various
branches as pleasant, profitable and
self-respecting employment.
Civic committee work in this club
has been carried on with great in
terest this year under the direction
of Mrs. Sarah N. Judson. The third
program in the month is generally al
iottted to this subject, but as the an
nual Christmas party for the children
of the club members will take place on
that day this month the civics program
was advanced. In January the speak
er for civics day will be Frau johann
ma Won Wagner, expert of the city
housing commission.
Great preparations are to be made
for the Christmas party, and Miss De
Camp, teacher of kindergarten in the
Highland Park school, will direct the
entertainment for the children.
