ton, and Seems to Support
1t With Facts.

At an informal discussion before the
Advertisers club of Louisville, KY.
recently question was raised which
opened the eyes of those present and
greatly interested them in the sub
ject.
The point was made that modern
American boys are so averse to labor
that soils the hands and clothes, so
unwilling to become skilled artisans,
and so unhappy in an artistic craft
that brings about these results. that
it is matter of much difficulty to get
recruits for the printing trade from
their ranks When the older work
men die there will be no new ones to
take their places.
This complaint was emphasized by
this instance: 1t appears that there
is a scholarship offered in one of the
technical schools of another city for
good printing work. and for five years
it has been found impossible to find
a qualified young man to apply for it
There seems to be a general belief
that were it not for our foreign born
citizens there would soon be an end
to high class printing in America.
This would seem to indicate a de-
| plorable and fatal defect in our sys
TEN of education If our boys are so
determined TO be well dressed mani
kins only, then young America is in a
bad state, indeed If there are no
aspirants for a craft that is almost
a fine art there must be practically no
young Americans preparing them
selves for the less attractive voca-
tons.
They do these things better in Ger
many. There is there more respect
for the crafts, and less interest in
| purely personal appearance. This is
| helped out by elaborate technical and
vocational schools that lift students
above the commercial Ind merely me-
chanical standards.
Old-fashioned methods, including
apprenticeship, made for individual

hands because it was good. and bet

EXPENSE OF ROAD WORK.

ATR JOSEPH HOFFMAN, ex-chairman Of the
IL Board of County Commissioners of wyan-
dotte county Kansas, has displayed spirit of
commendable civic patriotism by proposing to con-
struct at cost about fifty miles of good roads in his
county.
In Kansas, il is said that the policy has been to
"gouge" the public in building good roads, and
there is believed TO have been a considerable
amount of graft in road building 1t is stated that
Wyandotte county has been paying on an average
$4,000 a mile for its rock roads and that as high
as 81, 100 mile has been paid. Mr.. Hoffman pur-
poses to build the roads for So 600 mile and if
there is any profit at that figure it will be turned
into the county treasury. AS consequence Mr.
Hoffman is receiving praise in Kansas similar to
that which has been bestowed upon Mr. dupont
in this state for his interest in good roads
But the work of Mr.. Hoffman and that of Gen.
era dupont will have thing in common. Ii will
demonstrate the actual cost of constructing good
roads and disclose whether the contractors have
been getting high percentage Of profit Mr.
Hoffman in Kansas evidently thinks they have
been doing So
The dupont road is to be built according to
business-ke methods such as are applied to
great corporation No person perhaps could build
better or cheaper road at less expense than the
organization which Mr.. dupont will have in his
road constructive venture. The figures of ex-
penses and actual cost will be valuable informa-
ton.
Doubtless officials in all parts of the country who
give out contracts for road building will watch
with much interest the construction of a road not
under the direction Of contractors who deal with
public bodies. Mr. DUPONT will show whether
private concern can do big piece of work cheaper
and better than public body can have it done

Editorial Opinion
A Superficial Traveller.
Toledo Blade.

Toledo Blade.
Mr. William e. Curtis, writing in
the Chicago Record-Herald says:
The average New England summer
hotel lodges its guests in narrow
cells, generally too small for one
trunk. without running water, and
furnished with a bed, a bureau, a
washstand, a wardrobe, one upright
and one small rocking chair and
charges. the same rates that are paid
at the most expensive tourist hotels
In the West.
Mr.. Curtis has the superficial habit
of mind of most travellers. He has
failed to grasp the fact that discom-
fort is very necessary adjunct to
the vacation season. The real phi
losophy Of relief from routine, of rest
from the grind Of work, is to make
one contented with ones lot. II you
leave home and enjoy amazing de-
lights, true recreation, an outlook
that broadens the intellect and stores
the heart with dreams of possibilities
in pleasurable living, the familiar
scenes Of office and home can never
be the same again. Work is become
unbearable. The quarters one has
established are made dull and stupid.
The people Of New England are
famous for their shrewdness. They
have been in the summer resort busi-
ness for generations. They under
stand the fundamental law OF the va
cation. So they keep the rooms like
cells. They supply back-breaking
beds and discouraged chairs. They
charge like sixty. Then the vaca-
ZIONIST speeds home, thankful his va
cation is over, takes up the wonted
