The growing interest in industrial or
vocational education led the American
Federation Of Labor to investigate this
subject in its relation to the public
school. Despite all reports to the con-
trary, this organization now stands
strongly in favor of having industrial or
trade schools a part of the public school
system of the country. In this connec-
tion John Mitchell the great labor lead
er, says: THE high school formerly
trained the pupils to prepare for profes-
sions, but, since there are more people
in the mechanical trades than there are
in the professions, the public school
should also teach the principles and the
elements of mechanics" This attitude is
being generally accepted by all Of the
federated organizations.
There are a million and a half people
in the United States engaged in profess
sional work. five million
Trades and in trade or commerce.
p.e.: seven million in domes-
AA0AeSeAoAS' tic or personal service.
eight million in mechanical or manufac-
turing pursuits. ten million in agriculture
and twenty-five million as home-makers.
These figures indicate that the great
mass Of the population is engaged in
work other than that prepared for by the
high school or college. The recognition
of this fact has led to consideration of
the economic value Of adding to the pub
lie school course work that will be help
full in preparing the child for its after
life.
Vocational training and manual train
ing are terms generally used indiscrim-
inately by those outside of educational
| circles. They frequently have an entirely
opposite significance. although all indi-
cate progress in the development OF prac-
tical education. Any work done by the
hands Is manual. 1t Is only vocational
when it serves to AT the student for his
futl are work. Woodwork. as in manual
training. has educational value for all

thirty or forty eminent scientific men to
be found here during the college vaca-
tlons Most OF them are members of the
faculties of archaeological institutions and
state universities. who find the oppor-

marine organism more convenient and
adaptable here than anywhere else in the
country. The most of them are volun-

Carnegie Institution work here all the

people of the United States-have the

Deputy Hupman Makes a Sunday
Roundup of Many "Gamists."

Crawling on his stomach through
the grass and underbrush distance
of 500 yards, Constable John A. Hup-
man Sunday morning attended a
gathering not forecasted in the Dis
patch-News church directory but
which, it seems, has been progress
ing with equal regularity. The
meeting palce is an open air rendez-
yous in the woods just west of High
land Park. A number of benches
serve to accommodate those on the
waiting list, while an open space,
sufficiently large for the simultane-
GUS progression of several classes,
serves the more active commune
cants.
Strange to say the constable's ap-
pearance did not bring forth the well
come to which one who had gone to so
much trouble in getting there would
seem entitled. Instead there was a
hasty scramble for the tall uncut. In
the rush he nabbed four. These were
threatened with lodgings at the jail
if they persisted in Withholding the
names of their companions. AS a

FIGHT FOR n--1nDREN
Clifton Forge Courts Witness
Legal Battle Between Parents

Clifton Forge, Va, July, An
other step was taken here yesterday
in suit that has had sensational de-
velopments on both sides of the At
lantic.
The proceedings involve two we'll
known parties, Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter
G. Breckinbridge, of Botetourt coun-
ty. He is son of the late Judge
Breckinbridge, while she is wealthy
Northern lady. They married, quar-
relied, separated and she took the two
children to Europe. He followed
and captured the children while they
were on the streets of Paris with a
nurse. Since then she has been try
ing to get possession of them by legal
means.
Yesterday Judge Anderson enter
ed an order in the Circuit Court that
the children should remain in the
care of their father until the final
decree in the divorce case, but that
the mother should have frequent ac-
cess to them. The matter of the di-
vorce will be decided later.

will appear before Magistrate
O'Rourke Wednesday morning for
shaking the bones.
Fourteen is fair enough for one
haul, but Constable Hupman regrets
that he was os premature in his raid
which occurred about noon. Before
he left the resort, five new subscrib-
ers put in their appearance and it
was whispered that if he had waited
until three O'Clock he could have
had forty as easily as fourteen.

Mexico's Way With Women.


Woman's place in Mexican life is the
inevitable mingling of the Moorish
ideas Of the Spanish conquerors and
the savage ideas Of the natives, the
Milwaukee Sentinel says. The Castil-
ian hides his wife and daughters be-
hind stone walls and the picturesque
lattices Of romance, and he is their
lord and master. On the other hand,
the Indian tribes are, of course, still
bound by the spirit Of the ancient saw
age customs. Historians tell of one of
the baptismal ceremonies of the Mesh
&c tribes, who fought their way to SUI
premacy long before the Spanish ar.
rived on the scene To each boy baby
the priests chanted this command:
'Thy profession and faculty is. war,
thy obligation to give the sun to drink
blood Of the enemies and the earth
corpses Of the foes" To the girl baby
they said with far less ceremonials
'You are to stay within the house, an
the heart does within the body. Our
Lord enshrines you in that place, and
your Office is to fetch and to grind
maize In the metate."

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills viii be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d &
jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your commune
cation viii be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe. they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biiousness, Indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion OF enjoy good health. II
had my way ] would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
It; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, nc
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
TO act without physic.
