To be an intellectual king is not

a consideration of absolute irrevoca-

THE NEW YEAR.

To the cycle of time another year
tonight is added; out of the endless
future new one approaches.
You feel the spell of the moment.
A thought takes hold OF you and on
the eve of the event, you pause to re-
fleet.
Were it not for our own feeble
efforts in signaling the hour with
time-honored customs, the old would
slip away like the sunset beyond the
hills, and the new approach as the
morning.
As the bells ring tonight, while
listening with the ear look with the
eye of imagination. Three hundred
and sixty-six days rolled into a rag
ged and tattered gorge of activity
splash into the inky pool of oblivion.
Their course may be followed by the
bright light of worthy achievement.
: While your eyes are yet dazzled, your
ear perceives the gentle approach OF
the new year tripping like a fairy
with nosegay of hopes for each of
ua.
Tonight we are mariners on the
sea OF time studying the compass for
our bearings by the star of Success.
Where is your port? Ours is Hap
plDess, and our wish is that all might
he fellow travellers and reach port In
1913.

With these made by the school shops
balance Is shown Of $87548: that
is by entering each article at the
probable competitive price credit Of
the amount quoted Is indicated.
The commissioner then gives
figures for each of the trade classes
In the Gary schools. For instance, in
the printing department the value Of
tho work produced was 91.97292
The salary expense was $1.48S4S,
and the supplies cost 1914, leaving a
net balance in favor of the shop of
$i76.43. The commissioner shows
that there were IS In the printing
class. and says that instead OF figur-
Ing the per capita cost of the indus
trial training of these pupils 1t was
possible to figure definite contribu-
ton by each pupil to the wealth of
the community. In the other de-
partments figures of similar import
are presented
DIR. Claxton, in concluding his
statement. says that Gary's CON
spicuous success with industrial
farming is an interesting indication
of the spread of the modern move
ment for vocational education. He
also sizes up the basic reason for vo-
cational training as an insistence
that in addition to teaching the
recognized branches the school must
give instruction in those subjects
that are OF omst immediate value to
the community which supports 1t.
The results which are shown in
the official report and which are Of
such Importance az to call for spe-
| cfal statement from the head OF the
federal department of education are
particularly interesting in any city
in which the subject OF vocational
training in its entirety is being con-
sidered. Such Is the case In South
Bend While advance has been
made in manual training, while the
results have been most gratifying.
the subject, in its broader aspects. is
now being discussed with the pros
poets good for early adoption.
| The statement of Dr. Claxton in
regard to Gary might well, it seems
to us, have given credit to the man
who is responsible for the showing
made. Prof. W. A. Writ, superin-
tendent of the Gary schools, is one
of the pioneers, in Indiana at any
rate in vocational training. His
highly successful efforts in Gary are
not his first along the same line, al
though the plan followed there is
much more comprehensive and de-
cidedly more advanced than was the
earlier one in the Bluffton schools

VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN GARY

Vocational training in the Gary
schools has resulted in a profit in
stead of deficit DR.. P. p. Claxton,
United States commissioner of educa-
ton, in a statement covering the
work in the schools of the Indiana
steel city, says that when the school
authorities there came to sum up the
results in the trade courses they
found the three departments OF
printing, cabinet work and painting
had made an interesting showing on
the credit side.
DR.. Claxton says that the pupils
made articles that were needed in
the schools. II these supplies had
not been made in the school shops, he
declares, the authorities would have
had to make purchases in the open
market at total of probably $4,000.

WE HAVE ARRIVED.

1t is noticed that the iconoclasts
have been at it again. Now say that
Christopher Columbus was faker
and that maps dating back to 1414,
before Columbus was born, show
Cuba and part of Florida.
Further. that these coasts were
known to the Portuguese, Spaniards
and Italians before Columbus time
and their earlier discovery is at
tributed to the Atlantic currents
which set in past the Azores and
would have swept a vessel to the
shores OF Cuba or Florida.
Well what OF it all we certainly
have arrived anywhere and accord
ing to all signs are here to stay.
