New School Idea.

Cincinnati leads American cities in
the application OF a new principle in
public industrial education. which, after
two years trial. gives fair promise of
adoption elsewhere The idea of the
Continuation School" was borrowed
from the German system of industrial
education and applied TO two schools
already in operation in Cincinnati. This
union was effected in 1909. and the re-
sultant school has grown enormously
and its instruction is gaining headway
in that city.
Prior to 1909 two manufacturing con-
Germs maintained schools in connection
with their shops where apprentices were
given instruction two hours a day, be-
ing relieved of work during those hours
The manufacturers found that the cost
of obtaining competent instructors and
providing ample room and facilities for
such school were beyond the reach of
single concerns, and the project was
about to be given up.
At this point the board of education
stepped in and proposed to provide the
school facilities for two hours instruc-
tion each day, if the manufacturers
would furnish the pupils. This seemed
a fair proposition, and with the nucleus
afforded by the two former manufac-
turers' schools the Continuation
School" was started. Since 1909 ap-
prentices from many other manufactur-
ing concerns have entered the school,
and it is now prospering institution
with an attendance of 200 each week,
growing in efficiency and influence with
every passing month
The apprentices come in squads to
the school at specified hours of the day,
and the classes are conducted much as
others in the public schools Each group
attends for half day each week, and
the apprentices are paid for their time
by their employers. The course of
study pursued covers four years and
includes the simple branches from arith-
metic to trigonometry and from SPELL
ing to chemistry, being calculated to

Wireless Stations.

The announcement that the Navy De
partment will cover a large part of the
world with wireless telegraph stations
shows at once the place this system of
communication has made for itself in
modern life, and the ayidity with which
the great powers are making use of it
TO expand the means of the quick tran
sit of information over the world
When the new stations have been
established on the shores of the United
States. in the interior, on the island
possessions, and at other available
points, the department will be prac-
tically in touch with every ship on the
seas and with the principal foreign
countries of the world. 1t is an inspir-
ing thought that in the near future the
daily papers will record many more hap
penings than now in the remote corners
of the earth and upon the rolling oceans.
The use of wireless telegraphy has
come forward very rapidly Few great
discoveries OF scientific principle and
its application to the benefit of the race
have been so quickly brought to world
wide and practical use Wireless is a
significant illustration of how fast the
race is moving in these giddy-paced
days.

RAILWAYS SHOULD GIVE
HALF FARES TO PUPILS

The movement Inaugurated by the
citizens associations of the District
urging the carrying of children to and
from school on street railways at half
fare has much to commend it TO the
favorable action OF Congress. 1t is not
a revolutionary proceeding, for this
service is required of the electric car
companies in Massachusetts and Yer
mont and in many cities of the country.
Where it has once been tried It has
never been abandoned, and the expert
ment has worked out to the satisfaction
of all
The problem in Washington is very
simple In the graded schools, which
are near the pupils homes, there is not
much riding to and from school. 1t is
in the high schools where the greatest
traffic would be found. In the case of
the Western High School and the East
ern High School the pupils would be
carried in the opposite direction from
the tide of traffic to the offices of bust
ness and the government. 1t would
result in filling the otherwise empty
cars on their way back to the termIni.
This condition docs not hold to the
same extent with reference TO Central,
Business. and the Manual Training
high schools, as they arc located in the
heart of the city But it is clear that
the granting of the privilege Of half
fare would not increase the congestion
OF traffic to any appreciable degree. 1t
might add a few more passengers. but
not many. a, most OF the pupils of these
schools already use the cars. Students
are more alert in getting on and off,
and do not object to crowding, if
necessary.
Tic citizens associations adhere
rightly to the position that this subject
should constitute a separate bill to be
enacted b. Congress; in short. without
confusion with ether objects sought by
way OF privileges from the car conf
panies

One attendant result has been the
awakening of great interest among the
apprentice boys of the city and de-
sire on their part TO participate in the
advantages of the school.
The plan worked so well for the boys
that similar school has been estab-
Yshed for girls which is attended by
about 200 young women who are TAX

made at the end of the year, has sue

WHATS THE MATTER IN OHIo9
Modern Mother of Presidents Takes
Account of symptoms.

From the CltTeland Plain Dealer
What's the matter with Ohio? asks the
Eastern press. The modern mother of
Presidents seems to have wandered from
her traditions. The leading candidate
for the Presidential nomination in each
party Is an Ohio man, yet there Is wide
spread report that neiIher will receive a
solid delegation in tho convention. In
other days such a condition would not
have been possible.
What's the matter with Ohio? Her
people are doing their own thinking as
never befcre-if that is considered mat
ter" They are no longer willing to sub
scribe unthinkingly 20 whatever political
doctrine their respective party managers
may formulate.
Ohio-the intelligent, thinking mass Of
her citizens-believes it far more impor-
tant that an efficient, progressive Presi-
dent be elected this fall than that merely
an Ohio man be elected. She is thor
oughly convinced that it is far more
important that each Of the great parties
shall be given the wisest leadership than
that one of her own sens shall reap the
honor of such leadership.
The Mark Hanna days have passed.
No man to-day can say how the citizens
of the Buckeye State will vote. either
before or after a convention. It is q
sign of advancement that they now have
the political leaders of both sides guess
ing-rix months before the nominating
convention.
Logically, by the reasoning of the ola
days, Ohio Republicans should be soIidiv
massed behind President Taft in his fight
for a denomination; Democrats should he
Just as enthusiastically behind the can
didacy of Mr.. Harmon. Instead, indI-
vidual Republicans are demanding the
nomination of the man they think best
represents their own ideas OF govern
mental policy. The same rule applies
among Democrats.
Common sense rejects the impIica tton
that because Ohio has two candidates
for the Presidential nomination every

cummins to the Front.

Dissensions among leaders of the
Democratic party have occupied so large
degree of attention for the last few
days that the public has apparently
overlooked schisms in the Republican
ranks. The announcement of the
launching of the Cummins boom for
the Presidential nomination brings at
tention back to the troubled situation in
side the G. o. P. In like manner, the
reports of renewed activity on the part
of the friends of Col. Roosevelt help to
accentuate the troubles which President
Taft is to have in securing the nomina-
ton at Chicago.
Considerable similarity is shown in
the present situation of both parties.
Leaders on the Democratic side evi-
IDENTIFY are working on the principle of
anything to defeat Woodrow Wilson.
and the Republican leaders have as
their slogan anything to beat Taft.
Thus the political pot is merrily boiling.
and it is a poor winters day that docs
not bring out some startling disclosure
Of the lack of harmony in the councils
of both parties.
The Cummins movement to secure the
delegates in Iowa and as many other
States as possible is not primarily in
opposition to the growing power of La
Toilette or the still greater power of
Roosevelt. should his friends continue
10 urge his name as a candidate, but it
it to divert a portion of the delegates
TO the Chicago convention away from
the President. That is the object of
La Toilette and that is the object of
Roosevelt's friends. When the three
booms have grown to their natural pro-
portions, then. naturally, would come
the period OF trading to the strongest
of the candidates II the three aspirants
for the Presidential Office succeed in
once gaining the balance of power, it
would form a dangerous cabal against
Mr. Taft in the nominating convention.
What the result will be no man can
: now foresee. but it serves to give in
tense interest to the political situation,
and as the ante-convention campaign
develops the clans will be pulling in so
many ways that harmony of action will
be endangered. even if the nomination
of some candidate should be made
unanimous at Chicago. 1t could hardly
be expected that all the factionaI rancor
would be laid aside in June and not
show up in November

STATESMEN, REAL AND NEAR.
By FRED C. KELLY.

Senator Heyb I'm. Of Idaho. who plays
fuIIback for the standpatters, is al
ways among the first to detect the signal
for an anti-standpat play. When he
sees a Democrat or a progressive fixing
70 frame up a wing shift or forward
pass. he rears right up and tries TO
crush the proposition with the impact Of
his voice.
Whenever a Senator not signed up with
the standpat crowd has an innocuous
little measure that he wishes to put
through. one OF his chief concerns is TO
get il past Hepburn" There are diff
terent ways Of doing this. Not long ago
a new Senator, wise as to the foibles OF
human nature. thought UP a scheme for
getting by Hepburn. He knew that
whom the gods would use they first fat
ter; so he walked over to Heyburn's
desk. pulled some lint of the I6ahos

Senator. I'm a good deal OF a green
horn in the ways OF Senate business, but
I've got a little bill here want to see
acted on. You seem to understand mat
tiers here better than anybody else. Now.
how shall 1 go about getting this
through? Do you suppose you could help
me?"
'Ah. that shouldn't be difficult" Hey
burn is said to have replied. Just leave
IL all to me-"
The new Senator did leave 1t all to
Hepburn, and In due time his bill came
up for consideration. Reed Smoot, Of
Utah. who also wears a big block S. for

to rise up with a Here, what's this?
expression on his face. but Hepburn
slipped him a look that said: IT'S all
right'-and the bill went through, Just
as nice as you please.
Senator Johnston, Of Alabama, had wit
messed the whole formation for the play,
and he said to the new Senator:
You seem to know a whole lot about
human nature. My father used TO tell
me always to stand close to a kicking
horse. Your father must have told you
