URGES PRACTICAL EDUCATION.
Old System Did Not Add to Earning
Power of Pupil.

Micnael III. Corcoran. Jr.. and DR..
Thomas F. Leen. last night made ad-
dresses at rallies held in Cohen hall,
North End; the court house, Dorches-
ter street and Geneva avenue. Dor
chester.
Mr. Corcoran declared that the
schools to fulfil their purpose must not
only give book cduation, but must
directly increase earning power of the
pupil, if they are to be successful.
'"rhe old system of schools said
Mr. Corcoran. turned out boys and
girls educated to some extent. but with
virtually no equipment which made
fer Immediately increased earning
power.
1.-The boy who was graduated from
high school was usually not so well
off two years later as his chum who
never entered high school, but had
spent the six years at work.
so far as the efforts of the pres
ent school board have gone to change
this condition they meet with my
heartiest approval.
Il know that the boy who goes
through the high school of commerce.
the Mechanic Arts high school OF
takes up any of the various trade
courses now open. is going to jump
ahead faster than any boy could hope
to do under the old system.
I'm the same way the girls who en-
ter the trade schools are going to
leave that school with education which
has TO them definite cash value.
7 Il am heartily in favor of the extern
sion of this system Of practical edu-
caticn.'
DR.. Thomas F.. Leen devoted most
of his talk to what he termed "One
of tine fans of the present school
board
|. He said THE charge has been
made that the present school board
has made TOO much Of a rad of look
ing out for the health of the school
children.
. IF this so-called fad and fancy
meets with your disapproval l warn
you not to elect me to, the school
board for I shall do everything in my
power to develop that particular fea-
ture Of school administration much
farther sthan has vet been attempted,
IF to save your child from the con.
ts gipn of dangerous diseases. If to see
lHsAsits eSeStr DOT overstrained, and
that every pupil has flesh air to
lkahEaANaGgAsnnezsAncy, then am
a believer in 'fads and fancies'." =.

/ Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 2s.-Clif-
ford o'Leary, an employee of the Jeff
Transfer Co, swallowed a pin Tues
day evening and is at the present time
awaiting an operation at one Of the
local hospitals.
G'Leary was eating his supper at
one OF the restaurants Of the city and
the pin was in his food. Strange as
it may seem he did not feel the pin
while chewing his food, but IL lodged
halfway down his throat when he
swallowed.
At first 1t did not bother him, and
first aid remedies were tried in an eff
fort to dislodge the pin, but they were
unsuccessful The pin kept giving
him more palm and it was finally de-
cided to operate in order to get 1t out.
It is expected that the operation will
be performed some time this after
noon.
Mr.. O'Leary has been in this city
about six months and has been en-
ployed by Jeff's transfer major por-
tton Of the time.
