FiIipinos Well Trained.

Dayton Herald: While educators and
others have been discussing the ques-
ton of adopting the German system of
vocational training and substituting
for h abstract and the theoretic in
u public school currfcula q training
that will make a coming citizen use
full and productive, hezexperiment has
actually been tried out on a large scale
under the auspices of the federal
government in the Philippine Islands.
We are told that 1.-THE Filipinos take
to this educational programme, in
dustrial and otherwise, quickly and
proitably, and that the civil govern
ment finds it's duties much less oner-
u now hat the military invasion of
the islands has been superseded by
the educational invasion"
The first thing that a Filipino girl
does when she reaches the second
grade in school is to make for herself
a complete outfit Of clothing. AS for
the boys, they are trained in a great
variety of handicrafts-with a special
emphasis on the remunerative, trade
of hat weaving.
Nearly AGO. 900 Filipino school chill
dren are today engaged in some kind
of industrial work. In lace making
and embroidery the products of Fill
Pine schools are said to compare
favorably with work of famous French
and Swiss experts, and promise to
complete with them successfully in
the worlds markets.
The success of the experiment in our
far off colony should certainly encour-
age local boards of education to move
in the same directiD. .

1T is NO LIBEL TO PUBLISH
A LINING MAN AS DEAD.

New York Times: TO publish the
announcement that a living person
has died is not a libel and cannot
tnjure the reputation, according to a
decision handed down by the appellate
division of the supreme court, second
department, sitting in Brooklyn. The
decision was written by Presiding
Justice jerks and concurred in by
Justices Hirschberg, Burr, Thomas
and Carr. 1t is said to be the first
ruling or the subject by a higher
court in this country.
The cas- grow out Of this adver-
tisement printed in The New York
Died, Brooklyn-Cohen. Bealey. 13s
st. Marks avenue, May 6,
The advertisement was received by
The Times in the usual way and bore
on the back the Endorsement of the
person inserting it, as Is required OF
all such advertisements in The Times.
Bealey Cohen, who was very much
alive, contended that the ADVERTISE
ment referred to him, that it sub
Jected him to general scorn, ridicule
and contempt and, being a minor,
sued through a guardian, Siegfried e..
Gilbert, The Times for $4,000. The
Times demurrer was dismissed by
Supreme Justice Frederick E. Crane,
and from this decision The Times
dppCdASu. IIlS appear was QeClQ6Q
yesterday in favor of The Times, the
higher court ordering the action dis
missed with leave to the plaintiff to
jlead over again within twenty days.
The question whether this publ
cation could be a libel per se," said
the appellate division, involves the
inquiry whether it could have injured
the reputation of the plaintiff. Here
is a bare item of news in a news
paper. The item states that an event
has come to pass which is looked for
in the history of every man; is re-
garded as beyond his control, and
therefore does not permit the infer
ence that the man has done any act
or suffered any act which he could
not have done or which he need not
have suffered. Prematurity is the
sole popularity.
How can the publication of such
an event merely as a matter of news
hold up the subject of scorn, to hatred,
to contempt, or to ridicule, so that his
reputation is impaired? Such publ
cation may be unpleasant; it may
annoy or irk the subject thereof; it
may subject him to joke or to Jest
or to banter from those who know him
or know of him, even to the extent
of affecting his feelings, but this in
itself is not enough"
The court does not state what fate
should overtake that facetious type Of
person who, acting under q malicious
intent or a misguided sense of humor,
writes a death notice of a living
friend, acquaintance, or enemy, and,
imposing pom a newspaper, causes it
to be printed as an advertisement.

NERVOUS pRosTRATioN-wHATY
Danger sisnals-vaiue of Outdoor DC.
cuPation and Amusement.


Youths Companion: Nervous mos
tration is a more or less completes col
lapse OF n nervous system. 1t oc-
ours when the sufferer has urged him
SER beyond the limit OF his nervous
endurance. 1t is most common IN
early or middle life, when the nervous
system is most constantly taxed, When
II occurs In the very youth, excessive
work at school is usually the cause
When It comes on later in life, it Is
because the struggle for existence is
proving too severe.
M breakdown is not always caused
by actual overwork. Sometimes il
means. in old-fashioned phrase, that
the candle is being burned at both
ends. Only very strong people can
work hard and keep late hours as we'll.
The man of average physical powers
must make up his mind to devote him
self to his work and get his recreation
in healthful occupations outdoors. As
q means Of rest and amusement by the
tired business of professional man
nothing is better than a quiet game
of golf-not taken too seriously.
Nervous prostration does not declare
itself without warning. There are
many danger signals. 1t may be no
longer possible to accomplish the usual
quantity or quality of work because of
ASAASA y VI AOp6 III TIC power
of concentration; peevish irritability
and tendency to constant fault-fndine
may appear in a person formerly euu-
able and serene; headaches may return
each day at about the same time
that is to say, as soon as a certain
degree of fatigue is reached; there
may be revou indigestion and the
simplest food may cause distress. In
some cases the mental depression is SO
great that a strong man at the least
provocation will burst into tears like a
girl.
Most cases of nervous p~rostration
could have been prevented if taken in
time. The ordinary man is intelligent
enought to recognize in himself the
many signs of overstrain, n there
are few so driven by circumstances
that they cannot, If they choose, re-
lax a little and evade the coming
trouble.
II another hour is added to the
nights sleep, another mile added to
the daily walk, an occasional day de-
~liberately takeA for complete rest, an
interesting hobby taken up, the habit
of worry firmly checked, the
system will quickly right itself. Wor-
ry is the greatest s~pendthrift OF nerv-
Gus force. We should all learn to be
as obstinate about not worrying as we
often are about worrying unneces-
sarily.

Moorhead News
APPLIED 10 GOOD ROADS.

Surplus Commercial Club Special
Funds TO be Applied.
In the hotel site fund of the com.
mercial club there is an unexpended
balance of about $1,000. The pro-
position has been made that the sur
plus be used in the promotion of the
proposed Moorhead to GAINESVILLE
road, towards which the money can be
used in the purchasing of some of the
right of way. Today, a committee of
the commercial club was out solicit
ing the subscribers to the fund for re-
leases so that the fund may be trans
ferred to the new road fund from
which 1t can be used to so good an adj
vantage for the city as a whole. 1t
is understood that the committee is
experiencing no difficulty in securing
the proposed releases as the PROPOSE
ton is meeting with general approval
that it is a good thing and should be
pushed along.

After a three years pastorate the

| church at Crookston, at the close or
the service last Sunday morning asked
the congregation to join with him in
the request to the Presbytery to dis
solve the relations existing between
him and the church named. The res
ignation is impelled because the rev.
erend gentleman desires to be nearer
to his aged parents and he is consid-
ering a call farther south.

Afternoon Plano recital.

A number of music lovers and
musicians gathered In. the parlor of the
Gardner hotel, yesterday afternoon, to
greet Jacob Schultz, head of the music
department at the Ellenda1e normal
industrial school, who was presented
informally in a well arranged pro-
gramme which gave great pleasure to
the listeners. The player gave satisfy
ing interpretations of works by Grieg,
a composer whom he knew personally,
Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, and
selections from Peer Gynt suite. His
musicianship was generally conceded
and he won for himself many friends
who appreciated his very interesting
and concise descriptions of the legends
which were associated with the compo-
sitions he interpreted on the piano. Mr..
Schultz also rave n or two vocal Sc
lections, he playing his own accom-
paniments. The school at Ellendale
has certainly been successful in the
selection of a talented head for it's
music department and 1t is hoped Far
go will hear more of Mr.. Schultz.

Farm and Fireside: Mr.. Sch
wartz estimates the cost of wheat
at $10.25 per acre. A farmer in
North Dakota, using 800 acres, all
in wheat, as a basis, figures $12.25
per acre. If a business man, a
manufacturer of farm machinery,
for instance, were to figure the
cost of growing an acre of wheat
as he figures the cost of his prod.

on his plant; the farm cost; the
upkeep; making good and replac-
ing the wear and tear; the salary
of the president or manager of the
plant. in addition to that Of the

would be considered on the basis
of an assistant manager, and her
