Though he did not ridicule the pres

and common arithmetic, he said that
the time is bound to come when the
schools will get away from those
things, at least a part of the time, to
offer something more substantial when
necessity demands. Because of the
fact that the vast majority of boys
and girls leave the schools before
reaching a mature age, the elementary
course is practically valueless Said

DISCARDS PROVE
A VERY RICH HAUL

An imprisoned wall of indignation,
the echoes and reverberations of
which viii be heard from Dan TO Beer
Sheba, is due to break loose very
shortly from the lips of a number of
prominent young ladies in the city, as
the result of the sale of some photo
graphs, or it may be postal cards, de-
picting some of them in decidedly Bo-
hemian poses and costumes. The sale
is being pushed by several enterpris-
ing youths, who are disposing of the
photos and postcards at the cut rate
of five cents, a nickel, half a dime, the
goth part of a dollar
A few days ago some old negatives
and photographs and a few photo
postals were dumped in a vacant lot
on Third avahue east of Twentieth
street. Some boys, in Taking over the
discarGs, discovered The Hkenesses of
some of OUT fair city's fairest in bath
ing suits and snapped in classic poses.
The youths promptly appropriated said
photos and negatives, had the latter
developed and placed upon postcards,
and it is understood that the photo
graphs are being snatched up like ice
cream cones at a rural stock show.
Just what move will be taken by those
whose likenesses are making future
Morgans out of the youths who have
them in hand, remains, like the mega
tive-to be developed.

SAYS EDUCATION
BY VOCATIONAL
PLAN IS CERTAIN
@. A. Prosser of Massachusetts
Speaks Before Select
Crowd at Club.
STATE TO FALL IN LINE
Trend OF Times Is TO Teach Pupils
Useful Accomplishments Rather
Than Others.

That Illinois and the other states
OF the union will eventually take leg
islative steps which will provide for IN
dustrfal education Of pupils after they
have reached a certain age, thereby
following in the footsteps of Massa-
chusetts. New York, New Jersey and
Wisconsin, which states have already
taken UP the advance in educational
lines, was the statement of C. A. Pros
ser, deputy commissioner of the
Massachusetts educational system,
before small group of representative
men who assembled in the banquet
hall Of the Rock Island club last even
ing. Massachusetts. a state whose
population Of four millions is crowded
into a very small area, took up the in
dustrial education matter two years
ago because OF the fact that It was
necessary to train workers for the
skilled crafts in order TO utilize the
natural powers Of the state.
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.
The movement has been nothing but
an experiment thus far, but It gives
promise of great success for all time.
The advance is away from the text
book system. and in fact, II Is the IN
tention Of its leaders 10 keep It from
the text book system and interest the
pupil in the work through choice of a
favorite occupation. II was shown by
the speaker that in instances where
boys have had the opportunity TO
choose their studies through personal
interest. they have come to take an in
terest in other studies and gradually
have worked TO the heads of their vari-
ours classes, in which they formerly
were among the lower pupils. Mr..
Prosser stated that eventually the
boys who receive this vocational edu.
cation will work into the factories and
because OF their intimate knowledge
with the things with which they must
contend in life's battle, they will be
the foremen, the superintendents and
heads.
SYSTEM WORKS EARLY.
The plan OF this advanced educa
tional system is to give the boys, and
girls too, an opportunity 10 study the
elementary or fundamental courses be
tween the ages Of 6 and IL years, and
then after the ~ year age has beer
reached. to differentiate in the course
offered. and TO study a vocational
course or continue to study along 9th
er lines. The vocational education
will be suited to the size and the re
sources Of the community. In mos
states the statutes provide that chill
dren must attend school until they are
IL at least, and then they may droI
out provided they show necessity FOL
the move. Mr.. Prosser declared tina
eventually the school age limit will b,
raised and the pupils will have a long
er time I'm which TO choose a vocation

COOKED EGGS ON FLATIRoN
With the Gas Stove Frozen Up, New
Yorker Proved Himself Equal
to the Emergency.

The prolonged cold spell this win
ter sharpened the wits of many per-
sons who never before had any idea
Of the uses to which electricity could
be put When the gas gave out in
cooking stoves owing to the pipes be-
ing fnuzen--as it did in hundreds of
houses-there was a rush for electric
cooking utensils.
But sometimes the emergency arose
when It was not possible to buy such
things in time. One such case oc-
Cured at breakfast time and left the
family with nothing on which to cook
eggs. The master OF the house knew
they had an electric flatiron. He told
them to fnvert It and cook the eggs
on it's polished undersurface, which
was dome without diflculty. Small
pancakes and toast were cooked in
the same way.
Another resourceful man used q
flatirun to thaw out a frozen radia
tor. while yet another. in order to make
his radiator more efficient and stir W
the stagnant air in a room. placed an
electric fan on the floor and direct
ed blast Of air against the radiator
The effect Of this was to raise ths
temperature Of the room rs degrees
In half an hour.

her husband gave her beautiful set
Of sables as token of his apprecia-
ton of the good dinners he had en-
joyed.
OF course the neighbors soon heard
of this, and when the cook left in an
other equally well-known family the
lady Of that house said to her hus-
band:
well, the cook has gone and I'm
not going to bother to get another.
I'm going to do the cooking myself,

Too strenuous Imitation.

Henry Bassett, a theological student
OF Philadelphia, suffered severe injur-
les recently as the result of baptism
II fire inflicted on him by his COM
panions during his Initiation" into
the college fraternity. 1t is the Gus
tom occasionally to observe weird
rites and ceremonies and sometimes
to practice dangerous jokes when ad-
hitting candidates TO academic fra
ternities. Bassett was blindfolded and
saturated with an alcoholic liquid,
which was rubbed into his hair. Much
Of It trickled down his neck and on
to the light material Of which the
youths costume was made. Some
body lighted a match and held It near
the candidate's head, and In an In
slant the flames leaped high In the
air, burning him severely before they
were extinguished.

When Miss Graham was well out Of

most cordial invitation to John Chand-

From Female Kidnapped IN Picking In
1881 All Chinese Lap Dogs IN
the West Arc Descended.

Picking dogs. as they formerly we're
called--otherwise, Chinese lap dogs
have curious history. On October
8, 1861, an Anglo-French soldier ran
sacked the imperial summer palace at
Picking and took back to his captain a
little dog that was supposed to have
belonged to the empress. At any rate,
her majesty made frantic attempts to
regain the little creature. and the Eng
lish officer finally struck a bargain.
through Chinese emissaries. that II be
sent as a present from the Chinese
ruler to her majesty, Queen Victoria
Of England.
Good feeling was thus established
all around. and the little dog, bearing
the name of Looty, was domlciIed at
Buckingham palace. He was a very
lonely little creature, the other dogs
taking exception to his oriental habits
and appearance, and when the prince
and princess Of Wales returned from
continental trip the latter pleaded
with her motherin-law to be allowed
to take Looty to Sandringham. About
six months later Looty's mate ar
rived from China, and the breeding Of
this species Of dog became a diversion
in fashionable society.
Not many years ago a number of
ladies got together material for dog
show and called 1t an Association Of
the Dogs From the Palace of Peking."
Looty, who had long since passed to
the future good or evil place for dogs,
was represented by very numerous
progeny. From Looty, indeed, all Chi
nese dogs known to Europe and Amer

were ready to start the bell rang and
Miss Graham herself was announced.
Miss Graham's coming was due to
an occurrence of the afternoon before,
when Rosalie had come to her In
tears relative to the hard-hearted at
titude of her parents.
Il can stand most anything. Miss
Graham" she had sobbed. "but being
told that I am throwing myself away

but there've not right to say such
things Of Jack"
AS Jacks aunt listened to this re-
cital SO unhattering to her cherished
idol, her face grew grim; then her
eyes twinkled as she turned to Ros-
allie and said kindly:
Don't worry, little girl, things will
come out all right"
This was why Miss Graham hap
pened to call the next afternoon at
the Breretons.
AS Mr.. and Mrs. Brereton entered
their parlor arm in arm, Miss Graham
rose with solemn dignity:
Il have come" she said, ION a very
uncomfortable mission. one that must
be dealt with in a spirit Of the utmost
franlmess. May l have your permits
sion to express myself quite freely?''
Mr.. and Mrs. Brereton looked at each
other; neither felt quite sure Of just
what Miss Graham meant, but as il
might be safely inferred. she intended
pleading her nepheW's cause. they al
least would have the satisfaction
while she was at such close quarters
OF speaking their own minds. In
UNISON they nodded for her to so on.
