One of the numerous explanations
of the origin of "All Fools Day" is
that it dates from the adoption of the
Gregorian calendar in France in 1882.

Among the numerous suggestions

island in the harbor as a free port. "
Hamburg, Hong Kong, Bremen and

where cargoes may be unloaded and
stored in warehouses without the pay

then be reshipped to domestic or for
eign ports or manufactured into goods

The decline of the apprentice sys-
tem which has become almost extinct,
is very unfortunate for the industrial
world. Half century ago, the boy who
learned trade worked for period of
years steadily under the direct super
vision of a master mechanic and the
result was that at the end of his APP
premiership he was master of every
detail of his work from A to z.
Times have changed In cases where
boy is taught any handicraft, he is
usually only instructed in one section
or department and knows how to
make only portion of an article, or
to run certain kind of machine and
so has only smattering of trade.
The great demand of the present day
is for skilled mechanics who can sue
cessfully manage the constructive
work in his line from start to finish.

and had to leave them to escape with
their lives, again calls forth our won
der that men who know the risk
will build homes, plant vineyards, and
orchards knowing that any day mott
en- lava is likely to overwhelm their
homes and destroy every possession,
1t is hard for Americans to realize
that land on which to plant few

people come to America feeling that
it offers them everything desirable in

TEACHING YOUTH TO WORK.

The notable phase of the recent
teachers convention held in Norfolk,
was the prevalent spirit for a more
practical education than is now being
rendered by public schools. And
there's no question that therell be
remarkable development along this
line during the next few years.
The fact was brought out that the
correspondence schools of America
today have a million students, all
seeking training which will enable
them to make living, and affording
a sad commentary upon the made
quacy of public school training in this
respect.
There was an cutlery even against
Latin and Greek, at this meeting

caused educational hands to fly up in
awe.

which will enable the student to GO
out into the world and, by expert
knowledge and workmanship, carp a
better living than he could earn with
out his school training.
And even colleges are getting down
to that. Business sources in which
students are taught the science OF
craftsmanship and of management and
of commercial law and of advertising
and even of good penmanship-an
art lost to the present university stu
dent through rapid note taking-have
sprung up recently in many education
al institutions, and they're coming to
be more and more numerous.
A good many sound-mined educa
tors have come to the conclusion that
the schools of America have been on
the wrong track for good many years
And they're going to change.
