unpleasant experience of seeing the
lights turned out before l reached the

The above exposition will doubtless
lead you to think that I live in a city

Perth Ambov is a city Of about 3d.

l hope most sincerely that you will
not think that l am ~endeavoring to
take advantage of my long and pleas
ant acquaintance with you to obtain
for my home city an advantage from
your honorable board, which I could
not otherwise fairly obtain. If you do
not find upon investigation that the
conditions warrant your interference,
l do not want you to take any action.
Briefly: our request is as follows:

My Dear Mr.. La Roe:-
Your letter in regard to lack OF

hands of the Chief Inspector of
Railroads yesterday for ~investiga-
ton. am in hopes that an infor-
NAL suggestion may suffice to pro
cure the desired improvement. !

situation, and hope you will let me
know anything additional that may
bear upon the matter. Frequently
inadequate service is replaced with
adequate service upon the Boards
recommendation, when based on in.
vestigation. I hope this may be the
result here. If not, upon forma
complaint made, a hearing can bt
had; and In case inadequate Of ser
vice is demonstrated, an order car
be issued requiring the needed bet
terment.
With best regards, I am,

Following are two interesting
communications which the EVEN

in its editorial columns, regarding
more light at the Central railroad
station here. The letter written by
Wilbur La Roe. Jr., to Prof. w. M.

member of the Public Utility Com
mission, sizes I'D the situation ex-
actly. That It has duly impressed
Prof. Daniels is evident from the
commissioners reply.
Such work as this counts. If ev-
eryone would do their part in the
agitation the railroad company
would soon have to take notice.

LEARNING THAT
PAYS OWN WAY
Interesting Work at the
Schools Of Gary, Indiana.

Industrial work in the schools
of Gary, Indiana, made money IN
stead of costing money during the
past year." says DR.. P. P. Claxton,
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation. when the school author
tiles in Gary came to sum up the
results of the work in the trade
courses. they found that the three
departments of printing, cabinet
work, and painting had to their
credit a profit of SS75.4S. This is
real value, too; the pupils made
articles that were needed in the
school; If they had not made them
in the school shops the authorities
would have had to purchase them
in the open market at a total price
of seven or eight thousand dollars
The Commissioner then gives the
figures for each OF the trade classes
In the Gary schools, as reported by
G. e. Wulfng, In charge of the in
dustrial instruction. In the print
ing department the value Of the
work produced was S1,972.92. The
salary expense was s1,4S3.49 and
supplies cost 1914, leaving a net

$175.43. There were thirty-five in
the printing class. so instead of fig

wealth OF the community.

DR.. Claxton, "the product was
valued at s~3,60s.s5, and the ex-
pense was k~3,l55.37, leaving a bal

penters. Similarly, the painting de-
partment OF the scholo showed a
business Of S1,591.25 and an ex-
p~enseof $1.344.7S, OF a clear profit
OF s246.52.
Gary's conspicuous success with
industrial training is ar If terestino
indication OF the spread OF the mod
ern movement for vocational educa'

to teaching the recognized branches
