WHY THE GERMANS LEAD.

An American manufacturer who had
wondered at the success of his Ger

tain Zig, flaming, official looking pos
tiers on the billboards and around pub
lie building in Berlin, writes Hubert
Evans, in Harper's Weekly. He might
have seen similar posters in every
town and city in Germany. Twice a
year these official posters summon the
youth of the land to obligatory attend
ance at the trade and commercial
schools Indirectly they tell why the
American or the English manufactur-
er finds in the German such a danger
Gus competitor. They reveal the secret
of Germanys wonderful commercial
and Industrial prosperity and of her
commanding position as world pow
err To the philoso phically inclined
they suggest interesting reflections on
the transformation Of Germany from
a nation of idealists and dreamers into
a nation of materialists and doors.
There is scarcely anything in all
Germany so new and modern as the
continuation schools. This whole
movement has been a matter of only
a few years, and in its present form
the continuation school is child of
yesterday. These institutions receive
from the nation more care and solicit
tude than is bestowed upon the chill
dren of the imperial family. They are
still in a rapid process of change and
development. Their very success has
encouraged further changes and more
stringent legislation in their behalf It
is only a few years ago that an i'm
perial industrial law was passed giving
communities authority to establish and
maintain obligatory continuation
schools for youths, thus making good
the failure of certain German state
governments to provide for such
schools by state law. One of the last
acts of the old reichstag last Deem
Der was to amend this law so as to
make it apply to all girls employed in
offices, stores, and factories. as we'll
as to boys. The whole subject is still
so new and fresh tht every day the

item of continuation school news-the

SAYS UNCLE CAV

The man without opinions isn't
worth much to himself or to anybody
else, but he's a good deal better off
than the fellow who wears his opin-
ions for an Oregon boot. You know
the type-his name is legion and
there is no more Irritating pest on top
of earth. He's the daddy of all the
mossbacks, the original suandpatter,
and ever present stone in the road of
progress. He always has the courage
of his convictions, but never reason
for the faith that is in him. He is
conStitutiOnalIy, inherently, irrevOca-
which is new. Instinct to him is rea-
soning, and he is as strong on instinct
as an oyster. Likewise, he is quite as
lacking in logic. He is the victim of
his own ingrown prejudices and con-
slant menace to tho peace of mind of
progressive people. In ancient days
he chung to his idols; later he insisted
that the earth was fiat; today he
swears by the old social and industrial
orders and curses for a fanatic the
scientist who would educate him to
health and longevity.
Have a care how you adhere to your
opinions What you regard as loyalty
to conviction may be merely an as
SHINE stubbOrnneSs. Unalterable opin-
ions are the chief badge of the fool.
Opinions founded upon prejudice, are
an abomination. Facts and facts only,
all the facts you are able to discover
bearing upon a given subject, are the
only proper basis OF conviction, ana
he is supremely dishonest whose con-
victions are not revised when new
facts come to light. He is insane who
does not stamp his views subject to
change" No young man can afford
to be an intellectual standpatter. This
is the sorry privilege of senility. To-
days opinions are for today's guild
ance. Tomorrow, with new light, you
will have need of new views for new
tasks.
He is little short of an imbecile who
fancies himself to be discredited
through change of opinion The
earth has thus far failed to produce an
intellect that can comprehend the full
meaning of its wonders. and until 1t
brings forth a race of such beings, it
will be mans chiefest claims to wis
dom to maintain a mind open to new
convictions.-(C Copyright. 1912, by the

EVENING CHIT
By RUTH CAMERON.

OF a certain great man very much in
| the public eye just now, popular periodi-
cal recently used apt French phrase.
| 1t said that he had les defaults des quail
ties" which, the gentle reader has al
| ready guessed, means that he had the de-
fects that go naturally with his peculiar
qualities.
This great man is pre-eminently a
"doer," and according to this analysis
OF his character, he has the precipitancy
and indiscretion which are the compile
mentary defects of that character.
Now as to whether this particular man
has the qualities and defects mentioned,
l am not going to try to guess. You see,
I've given my solemn word to the editor
to keep out of politics. But the reason
I've been telling you about him is just
this; want to call your attention to the
value of that French phrase.
DO you realize that almost all of us
have 'les defaults des qualities?
We have, you know. And in Judging
or blaming or analyzing our family or our
friends, and especially, 1 think our chill
dren, we should certainly take account of
this.
And yet how seldom we do!
For instance, a child is quick to learn
eager and impulsive we praise these quail
tiles But he is also the Inevitable compile
ment, rash and impulsive, and probably
quick tempered. We blame him for these
tendencies and wonder where on earth
other manifestations of the qualities we
praise.
1 know young woman who, all through
her childhood and girlhood, was tremen-
ously intense, in her play, her study,
her friendships, and all that she felt or
did. Her mother undoubtedly knew this
and, think, took pride in it, But when
womanhood came and the same intensity
displayed itself in other ways and almost
ruined the girls life, the mother could not
see where she got such a passionate dis
position If the coiner OF the French
phrase will permit I'd like to twist 1t
bit, and say that we also have the quail
ties of our defects.1
For instance, friend of mine supplied
a piece of information which a group of
people wanted How did you ever find
that out?" they inquired. "How?" she
answered. Because 1 wanted to know
and asked. That's the way with you peo-
ple-you laugh at me because I go around
asking questions but you are glad enough
to share my knowledge when you want to
know anything" You see she had the
quality of her defect-if you may call
curiosity a defect; I don't, but some do
the fund of knowledge that went with her
inquiring mind.
Good and bad are often only two names
for different phases of the same thing.
And if you will this point of view
as a key, 1 think you will find it easier
to understand folks characters, your own
included.

And have seen it unfold as play
From a wide lonely waste to a fair COM
And the dawn of its prosperous day.
In the halls of the learned I tarried a
while,
And have drunk of their lore to my fill,
And of books not few, of the doings Of
OF their thoughts and their hopes and
their skill,
With the poets I've dallied-a sweet waste
Nor grudged I my hours with the muse:
In the strife of ambition, the game I
have played,
Seldom winning nor fretting to lose.
OF friends I've had many, and cleaved to
And the love of pure women I've known
And the dear clinging arms Of my children
I've felt,
have reaped where I scarcely have

Though the shadows may come, come now
or anon,

And howe'er speed the years, or whate'er
