The interest and excitement over
the letting of paving contracts by the
city commissioners this morning ag-
gregating close TO 100000 worth Of
work has reached the point where all
sides are pulling all the strings pos
sible to get the contract. The bids
are so complicated as to require
an experts knowledge and experience
to really figure out which is the
cheapest.
In any event the figures are very
close and the price is far below prev
ious prices paid for paving In this
city. The next thing to be consider
ed, and in fact the first thing that
ought to be considered is that Of

cost OF paving that should be taken
into consideration but how will be II

Last Season Most Un-
usual One.

CHICAGO, February 25.-Chief Benher
may be the proud possessor Of the title
OF the premier of American League
pitchers by virtue of his having won the
largest percentage of games played dur
ing the season of 1910.
But there is another hero of the base
ball world whose efforts should not for
ever remain unsuns. Sure he has never
been a member Of worlds champion
ship team: no. not even of a pennant
winning team.
On the contrary his club has never even
risen from the second division, and for
many seasons was the und:sputed holder
Of the title of cellar champs He has
never been heralded as the champion
pitcher of the league with which he has
been identified, but still has been known
as one Of its best pitchers and most
vaula BILE assets, and 1t has been said by
many experts that If he had a team like
the Athletics, the Cubs or the New York
Giants the great Christy Ma..iewson
would have to look to hts laurels. Tie
gentleman who has ca led forth all th9se
enc. miums is Walter Johnson of tie
Washington Nationals.
While, as before mentioned, Johnson
has never hello the title of champion
pitcher of the American League. In the
season OF 1910 he held Two records OF
which no twirler need feel ashamed.
In the first place he was the hardest

VOCATIONAL TRATNTNC.

In the Illuminating address which he
delivered the other day in Topeka on
the subject of vocational training, Pro-
lessor Greenwood superintendent of
the public schools of Kansas City, Mo-,
suggested that this city, because of its
many and divers manufacturing plants,
was well situated for the establishment
Of this kind of education in it's schools.
He pointed out that care should be ex-
ercfsed in fixing up the courses for this
sort of instruction; that only such vo-
cations should be taught as would
equip pupils with learning that they
could put to use in their home town.
1t occurred to him that it would be a
good plan for the manufacturers Of
the city and the school authorities to
get together in mapping out the voca-
tional courses.
This suggests the idea that when vo-
cational training is actually undertaken
on desirable scale here, some ar
rangement might be made between the
school authorities and certain manu-
facturers whereby grammar school
graduates might be given training in
in schools on the theory of the voca-
lions they desire to pursue and kindred
SuDJeCJS VI the QlSler educational Or
der during certain number of hours
each week, say three or four hours
each morning or afternoon. And the
rest of their time could be devoted to
actual work in the manufacturing
plants for proportionate pay.
Such a plan has been tried in Chicago
with success. and perhaps in other
cities in this country. Boys and girls
work and study in teams of two.
While one of the team is at work
the other one is at school. This keeps
the manufacturers plant, or such work
as the boys and girls do, going ahead
steadily all day, and it also gives the
boys and girls a much needed oppor-
tunity to earn money and also get the
advantages of helpful education for
their work and other education that is
of higher grade than that given in the
grammar schools.
In Germany, this system OF having
boys and girls go to school part of each
day and work the rest of the day is
general and has worked out most sue
cessfully, not only to the great ad-
vantage of the student-workers but
also to their employers, for the better
the education that an employee has,
the better the work he is able to do.

Lost Tribes Of Israel.

What are believed to be Iineal de-.
scendants of the Jews that were driven
