t;onal Association of Machinists, and
Mr. John B. Colpoys, Secretary OF the
Washington Central Labor Union.
Trade unionists throughout the coun-
trv know Brother Conlon for his
sterling trade union qualities and his
ability to expound the doctrines OF
the labor movement. Brother Col
poys, while probably not quite as well
known, is nevertheless one of the
truest trade unionists in the country
and has few superiors as speaker in
this vicinity. Mr.. Byrd of course
needs no introduction to the trade
unionists of Virginia. No man
worked more faithfully for the inter-
ests of the working people at the last
session of the Virginia Legislature
than did he, and as speaker he has
few superiors, if any, among all the
orators of the Old Dominion.
The movement in Alexandria just
at This time is in as good a condition
as could be expected. The month of
August is usually a slack month
among the building trades and this
is 70 exception to the rule. The glass
factories have all closed down for the
summer and will not open again until
the Ord of September. Most of the
members of Branch 6S, Glass Bottle
Blowers Association, have left the
city for their vacations.
The delegates to the Trades Coun-
Gil are still working to secure local
of the international Typographical
Union. The other trades in this city
are somewhat handicapped by reason
of not being able to secure the label
on printing done in the city.
Brother John T. Harrison, who was
recently reelected Financial Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the Trades
Council, has held that position for
eighteen consecutive terms. That IS
one thing the trade unionists of Alex
anG-ia know, that is, when they have
q good officer. No man in the move
inert in Alexandria is more respected
than is Brother Harrison, and the
working class of Alexandria when
the; honor him are really honorlng
themselves.
l see Brother L. M. Milan has been
appointed by President Dawson a.
member of the Organization Commit
tee. am sure he will do good work
on this committee, and if the selec-
tor had been left to Alexandria, they
could not have secured better man.
Brother Milan is member OF the
Machinists' Lodge, and is a tried ana
true trade unionist.
see also by the Journal that
Brother Frank w. Deeton, of the To-
cal Printers Union, has been selected
as member of the Platform Commit
mit.ee. l feel certain that the chair
mar of this comittee will find that he
has faithful co-worker in the person
of Brother Deeton.
The Trades Council has selected
Rrothre NJ. NJ. Lollo as Alexandria
of the State Legislative Com
mit.ee. Brother Lollo was member
of the Executive Board of the State
Federation last year and is at the
pre- sent time the president OF the
'rraJes Council of this city.

the great value of their large special
agricultural high schools and branch ex-
pertinent stations. Out of the nearly
four score of such institutions only
part have been adequately financed.
Those which have been are mervelously
successful: those which are not need only
the financial help which the Page bill
would provide from the national and state
treasures. Without these well equipped
special secondary schools of agriculture
there Will be no standardizing agency for
practical high school work to supplement
the work in agriculture and home eco
nOmics of the consolidated rural school
and of the partially equipped agricultural
department of the town or city school.
With these special secondary schools to
define and complete the gap between the
consolidated village and city school in
struction and the college of agriculture
the coordination of the scheme will be
complete The colleges will become real
colleges and vastly more important; the
consolidated rural and the city high
school Will not pretend to give a COM
plete high school vocational course in
agriculture.
The PaSe bill will in a most marvellous
way assist our state agricultural colleges
to get past their present narrow attitude
concerning the preparation of teachers.
These Institutions have looked upon their
functions as separate from, superior TO
81 above the work of giving normal IN
StruCtion They have felt that their work
was that of giving information to persons
who were to take up the work of the
technclosiSt or teache" Of some agricul-
tural or engineering subject. They have
tailed to see that the vast machinery of
public education. if directed properly
from these institutions rather than from
academic institutions. would at once
greatly increase the material production
and result in better living OF the people
of the state. and. on the other hand.
would bring 10 the agricultural and me-
of people better prepared to become COL
lege students
Hardly of less Importance is that item
in the Page bill which provides federal
and state money with which the state
normal schools shall prepare teachers of
Agriculture trades and industries and
home economies. II is probable that in
most states the preparation of teachers
of agriculture and home economies for
higher schools will be delegated mainly
to the agricultural college; and the prep
aration of the teachers who tedcn the
same branches in local secondary and
rural schools Will be centered in the
state normal schools. The preparation or
advanced teachers in the trades and in
dllstries will be rather centered in the
state engineering college. whether 1T be
a part Of the state university or part
of the state agricultural and mechanical
college The tendency, on the other
hand will he for the more advanced
normal instruction along trades and en-
Siueering lines to be carried forward in
the AGRICULTURAL and mechanical colleges
and state university. and the preparation
of teachers for the secondary and lower
schools will be more centered in the state
normal schools and even in large high
schools for the trades and industries"

READY FOR OYSTER LOVERS.
Plentiful Supply on Half Shell at
the 18th Street Wharf.

With good weather the oyster vessel
masters lying at 18th street wharf are
anticipating a large number of Sunday
visitors at the wharf today. after a sup
ply of salt water oysters on the half shell.
There is a good supply of all grades of
the bivalves at the wharf market, and
the oyster-hungry man can get any kind
he wants, from the ordinary Potomac
oyster to the fine stock that comes from
Pocomoke. Tangier and other points on
Chesapeake bay and its tributaries.
Oysters have not ranged as low in price
for several years as they have this sea-
son. Good Potomac stock can be bought
retail from 40 to 10 cents per bushel, and
from this price they go up to 10 and ~
cents per bushel for bay stock as fine
as can be desired. Those who do not
care 10 bring along their own knives and
shuck for themselves will find plenty of
shuckers at the wharf willing, for a con-
sideratiOn, to extract the oysters from
the shell.

authorities thought this looked too much

being built by the lighthouse authorities

Status Is Encouraging.

The present status of this measure is
most encouraging. Under unanimous
consent Il has place on the Senate cal
endar next TO the Cummins resolution,
which is now the unfinished business.
Thus. it will practically automatically
next become the unfinished business and
will go TO its passage. Ii is now in posi-
ton where ii cannot be displaced except
by a majority vote, and requires only a
majority vote for its final consideration
and passage. 1t is known that there is
easily a three-fOurths majority of the
Senate in favor of this measure.
1t is believed that when the Page bill
passes the Senate and goes to the House
IL will be received in friendly spirit by
the leaders of the House.
The Page bill would in many ways
most wonderfully emphasize and build
up the work and equipment of our state
colleges of agriculture and experiment
stations. If the ordinary state. as Ala
bama. had in each of its nine aGricul-
tUral high schools five or six hundred
students. or say 300 in all. all OF which
were in high school work, they would
annually contribute hundreds of theiI
graduates 10 the freshman classes Of the
state colleges OF agriculture and me-
chanic arts. These agricultural high
schools. if really highly equipped with
lands. materials and teachers. would set
standards for secondary course in agri-
culture which would standardize the
agricultural teaching of all the other
high schools of the state which pretend
10 teach along this line, and this would
result in other hundreds OF we'll prepared
students annually entering the state
agricultural and mechanical college. Tn
der the Page bill trade schools in the
larger cities would also standardiZe the
trades school work OF all the city schools

colleges of agricultural and mechanic

Origin of the Congress.

- Or. owen said in part:
The Southern Commercial Congress
grew out of the work of chambers of
commerce of the cities of the southern
States. AS shown in it's everyday work,
in its publications and in its great an
nlIal meetings, its work covers ali the
larger public interests of the sixteen
southern states. 1t is union of effort
on the part of ali' southern commercial
bodies and individual business inst.tU-
lions to bring two things to pass in our
day: First. to induce a proper under
standing by the people of the south re-
gardinS the significance of the physical
Resources of their states, and second, to
sweep out OF the mind OF the world all
elements of Misunderstanding regard ns
the south. its prospects. its people and
its opportunities.
pom the request of the friends of the
Movement for vocational education which
was being put forward in Congress, the
Southern Commercial Congress in lJIu
undertook To assist ny serving as an ave
nue. for publicity and also TO assist in
better decorating the many organiZa-
Hons, some of which had already APP
proved the DOlliverDavis or as ii was
later called, the Page-WNson, bill. 1t
assisted in bringing to the attention OF
these orSaniZat ons the methods and
means of aiding this movement. In the
autumn of 1911 a meeting was he'd UNI
der the auspices of the Southern Com
mercial Congress in the Senate office

manShip of Senator Duncan L. Fletcher,
president of the congress To this meet

putting this measure forward At this
meeting. under the leadership of Senator
Page. his bill was so revised az TO more
nearly meet the view of ali present. Es-
