AT the regular meeting of the Red

taken toward securing the U. p. Fire

for their undivided support At the

Three designations.
At last nights meeting, the resigna-
lions of Nightwatchmen James Glas-
son and Joseph Ma,cNamara, as mem
bers of the department, were present
ed and accepted, as was also the resig-
nation from the department of John j.
Ellis. Jr. The latter has been elected
an honorary member in view of mis-
long and valued service in the depart
ment. p t
The reason for the resignation of
Messrs. Glasson and Mcnamara is the
insistent demand OF the public that tho
officers stay on their beats and not
attend fires. Both Messrs. Glasson and
MacNamara have been long and valued
members of the department, and their
designations were uhwillingly accepted.
A number of applications for MEM
bership to hlI the three vacancies have
been received by Chief Trudell, but
will not be acted upon until the next
regular meeting
Previous to last nights meeting the
department participated in a practice
run ON Eighth street. All apparatus
was brought into play, and the work
was witnessed by hundreds OF people.
The fire engine team made a run the
entire length of Eighth street, coupling
two hoses to the engine in the record
time of one and one half minutes.

MANUAL TRAINING
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN WILL
GRANT CREDITS FOR HAND
WORK IN HIGH
SCHOOLS.

According TO tentative plans. man
ual training and other vocational sub
jects are to be counted as credits 10
high school students entering tn
| University of Michigan. A numbc
OF other changes in the entrance re
quirements are planned. which will
| give the student contemplating en-.
trance the privilege Of exercising NOR,
choice In his high school courses.
one Of the, most important changes
Is that which allows credit for man
ual training and other vocational
studies. The student is allowed tc
choose three. and I'm some cases three
and one-half units Cmeaning the
equivalent Of five recitations week
FOR one year, of any subject for. which
credit is given for graduation by the
accredited school. This will mean that
students of the Calumet high school
will be given credit for manual train
ing. domestic science. public speaking,
singing and all other practical and
vocational courses which are taught.
Credit for Literary Course.
Students desiring to enter the uni
versity in the literary department are
also to be benefited by the new ar
rangement. Three years of manual
training will be accepted from candi-
dates for the literary course. and the
old requirement of solid geometry and
trigonometry are to he eliminated
This will make it much easier for stu
dents.
The new regulations require that the
prospective student shall he recon-
mended by an accredited preparatory
school as a graduate who has salts
factorily completed the requirements
for admission. The prescribed units
for admission will be: English. three
units; mathematics. three units; ply
sizes. one unit; history, one unit; two
units of either Latin. German. French
or Spanish: one and one-half or two
units of selected from the following
group: A year of chemistry. half
year OF trigonometry; one or two
years of German. French, Latin or a
year of manual training.
The important new change in the
requirements is the regulation which
states, "The remaining three or three
and one-half units may be presented
in any subject for which credit for
graduation is given by the accredited
school, and which are taught in a
manner approved by the university"
This will mean all the practical and
vocational subjects taught in the high
school.

a wife refuses to obey her husband she
is given a good beating to make her more
submissive in the future.
The Chippewas Justify themselves for
loading the backs OF their women. Ac-
cording to their legends there was once
a time when these people believed them
selves to be the descendants of dogs,
Among all races Of the far north the
dog draws the sledges. and thus carries
most of the burdens. The Chippewas
are to a certain extent ancestor worship
ers and were at one time seized with
such a reverence for their canine ante
cedents that they ceased entirely to en-
ploy dogs in bearing their burdens, cast
ing the latter upon the backs Of their
women.
Women not only carry burdens for their
husbands but in come countries even go
so far as to carry the husbands them
selves. The Babines, subtribe in Brit
ish Columbia, have frame for the back.
a rough armchair without legs, made OF
stout split sticks of willow Joined by
thongs The women attach this frame
to their backs and have been seen carry
ing their husbands In cases where the
lord and master could claim a slight Ill
to justify himself in such procedure.

But there is one burden which falls to
the lot of the women of all races-the
carrying Of the children. Every mother
is at some time obliged to carry the lit
tie one. and it is interesting to note the
various methods used in different coun-
tries for this purpose.
American and European babies are car
ried on the chest and circled by the arms.
If the child is very young 1t simply lies
within the bed thus formed. but IL older
it sits up and puts its arm around its
mothers neck. OF course, this method
depriyes the mother Of the use OF the
hands, and would therefore not be con-
sidered good by those who carry their
young about with them while at their
work.
1t seems to be the custom throughout
all savage countries to attach the child
to the person of the mother in some man.
ner and to let it remain there through
out the days work. Woman banana ped
dlers in South America may be seen on
the streets with basket or pan of ba-
nanas balanced on their heads and a child
lying within the folds of the sash at their
backs. So the child rests all through the
day and is not removed from this position
until the mother returns home in the
evening The position Of the child de-
pends upon the arrangement Of the sash.
IL the babe is very young the sash forms
a cradle and the child lies full length
within it. II older 1t is allowed to thrust
its little legs through openings In the
mothers hip This same method OF child
carrying is used throughout Africa.

But, though such performances as
these are sometimes seen IN the United
States. they are fast becoming relics OF a
time that is passing. Modern inventions
have brought mechanical devices for
transportation into operation which have
largely supplanted more primitive meth
ods. We have come to rely so much upon
these inventions that we have lost the
old arts and have come almost to think
OF them as impossibllities.
But in countries OF lower degree Of
civilization than ours "toting' Is one
Of the most popular methods OF trans
portation. Children OF savages are
trained from their infancy in the art OF
balancing. until by the time they are
eight or nine years OF age their poise is
perfect. The ability which these young
sters show in juggling articles on their
heads would do credit 10 an American
stage performance.
One OF the most fundamental and at the
same time most difficult phases or this
art is that Of carrying water jars. We
who live in the city and have our water
delivered to US through pipes cannot ap-
preciate how large an amount of water
is consumed IN various ways by one
household. Even those OF us who live
IN the country have no conception OF the
amount OF water necessary to be carried
IN regions in which windmills and efficient
well and cistern systems are not used
Water carrying becomes an important
feature In the home life of most savage
peoples. Children are early trained in
this accomplishment with the ultimate
End I'm view OF being able not only to
larry water jar on the head, but addi-
.ional ones in the hands or on the back.
This is a difficult feat, but is not an un-
usual sight In regions inhabited by saw
ages.
Carrying water on the head requires

cave. These jars are often decorated
with pictures, which are usually sym
bolical or istorical. 1t Is surprising to
note how extensively this primitive
method Of water supply is used. Among
the Indian tribes of New Mexico Arizona,
Oklahoma and Texas the water jars are
still in use, and the people live on much
the same plane of civilization as in the
old days before the arrival of the white
man. In Central and South America,
Australia. Africa, Alaska and many parts
of Asia "toting" is surprisingly popular.

Holland and Normandy the yoke is used
extensively by milkmaids.
The Chinese employ a method Of car

pansion Of this old-fashioned method OF
our childhood days. They place the per

carry him by means Of two long poles to
which the chair is attached. There are
usually four people employed in the car
