The possibilities OF this town has
the subject for discussion for years
and true it has not all been in vain,
there is much that could be done. With
a progressive people such as ours il
is surprising to see chances slip by un-
noticed Recently a proposition was
made to citizens of Newark whereby
an industry, clean, wholesome work
furnished. was offered, and yet this
has dropped Whether it was in the
excitement OF temperance and party
election is still questionable, but it is
shameful neglect to let these chances
go by One would think that with
such proposition, that if the ordinary
citizen took no interest in the matter,
that the banks and merchants would
have left no stone unturned. Several
propositions have been made to the
town that demanded outlay of capital,
.. but here was an industry that merely
asked bona fide assurance that suffi-
cient help could be secured. Aside
from periunctory attempt void OF
all enthusiasm. the matter has appar-
emily been dropped The criticism
of the town support by the Board OF
Trade does not come with good grace

from gossip heroes that influence Of
Our present industrial establishments

The men back of our industries are
too active and broad minded to use
such tactics. And even If they did
does that prevent others from arous-
ing themselves to the towns interest
Another feature, and disgusting in
its petty outlook, is that we want tc

WRITTEN FOR THE POST.
The remarkable prosperity of the
United States is due chiefly to three
causes the great abundance of our
raw material, our ingenuity in the in
vention of machinery and our genius
for commercial combinations. Not
one of these can be looked upon as a
permanent cause of success.
1t has never yet been shown that
the cause Of American success in for
eign markets is due to the quality of
the goods produced"
An American writer has forcibiy
presented his impressions of the Fa-
therland after year spent in studying
the conditions OF Germany. He pre-
sents to his countrymen the danger
we run OF losing industrial prestige.
If there is one characteristic of Ger
many it is thoroughness and in the
German workshop there is no such
thing as the sacrificing OF quality for
speed.
Germany realizes her only chance OF
supremacy lies along industrial lines
and she is making mighty strides to-
ward that end The industries are the
special wards of the government upon
which is bestowed parental care. The
railroads are the property OF the gov
ernment and unusual privileges are
granted the most favored industries
such as that OF ship building.
Since 1900 continuation schools
have been provided to train the coming
generations of workmen, one city
-Munich-possessin 40 differ
ent kinds OF industrial schools. This
is according to the German belief that
every kind Of labor, from chimney
sweeping to ship buildin~ is worthy
| of specialization along that line.
| This phase OF German life is the sub
| ject of much comment and considera
ton among those who are studying
the usefulness of 'he American school
We claim as the basis of our Ameri
can ideal an equal opportunity to all
yet our present school system doe
much to discredit that claim.
What is the meaning of the fact tha
faces us, OF the thousands of boys an,
girls who leave school soon after tn
] compulsory age limit is passed.?
The State Of Massachusetts, livin
up to its record along educations
lines, has inaugurated movement fc
the investigation OF the subject. Th
committee appointed bv the govern
inent has found there to be $4,000 boy
and girls between the ages OF "A an

"That Fool of a Giovanni"


Maurice Landi, an Italian, of Mon
essen, Pa, came to the city two days
ago to spend a week before he re
turned to Italy. He had $500 in his
pockets. On Friday he came out of a
store on Christian street, and man
whom he did not know rushed up to
him, and, throwing his arms about his
neck, kissed and embraced him. Don't
you know ine?" he said.
Landi did not.
came over with you on that ship from
Italy" the unknown said. My heart
beats with joy to behold you
L4andi was pleased. He visited sew
eral saloons with Giovanni" In one
of them Giovanni" said he, too, was
going back to Italy. He had $1,000,
he said, and would buy casetta and
an orchard A fine little orchard.
Such a one as can be found near Pal
ermo.
He proposed that Landi keep the
money for him while he went down
the street to get some clothes. l-ahui
consented. Giovanni took the $500
of Landi and with his own $1,000, and
before the very eyes of Landi wrapped
them carefully in one large envelope
and handed it to Landi. I.andi placed
it reverently inside his shirt.
Giovanni" departed. He did not re
turn in an hour, as he said he would
He did not return in two, three, OF
four hours. Landi opened the package
and found it to contain old paper. He
tore his hair; he cursed: he ran to the
police station, and sobbed out his
story.
The police are now looking for thai
fool of a Giovanni. "-Philadelphif
