glove making, if possible.
Well, there are three answers
which you can pick up in Glovers-
vile.
Here is the first one-from
Supt. James A. Estee, who repre-
sents the viewpoint of the public
schools in this amazing situation,
where public schools are training
pupils to enter one trade, and are
teaching no other trades.
we have established our Vo-
cational school" says Supt. Estee
in his report, because, as Gov.
Foss of Massachusetts, has said,
in the lack of such training we
find one fruitful cause of many
ainless careers which can lead to
nothing that is good and must
tend to swell the number of our
ineffectives.'
Here is answer No. 2.
This is from Lucius N. Littauer,
head of the glove business in
Gloversville. Littauer, who was
once a congressman and is mil
lionaire, appeared not long ago
before the national ways and
means committee with arguments
which persuaded that committee
to increase the tax on women's
and children's gloves.
"Of course the manufacturers
association is for such training"
says Littauer. eve aid it all we
can. We need helpers and the
pupils need work when they get
out of school"
And here is answer No. 3.

course in the public schools be-
cause they want to get the cheap,
efficient help of the very young
and they do not want to bear the
expense of maintaining an APP
prentice school for those who are
DESTROYS of entering the glove
trade"
GrinneIl was elected to the
board of education for two pur-
poses-to work for the introduce
ton of free text books in the
schools and for abolishing the
teaching of glove making to
pupils.
"Before 1 said anything about
it at the board meeting" says
Grinnell, 81 made personal in
vestigation and found that of the
$50 pupils who had elected to take
this tWo-year trade course, but
very few took it because they
wanted it. Nevertheless, they
were all learning glove making.
81 found that the great need
here is the installation in the
schools of real vocational course
where such things as carpentry,
machine shop work, dressmaking
and domestic science can be
taught. The pupils who have
technical bents long for such
things.
They say to me:
we don't want to learn glove

Some of the records for the Armory
track are apt to fall in several of the
events which will be held tonight in the
National Guard meet. 1t is questionable
if the guardsmen have ever held set of
games in which there were as many
classy performers as will be evident this
evening.
In the hurdles it Is certain that there
have never been two men competing on
that track who are as fast as Bob FL
Ter Of Georgetown and McDonough of the
Baltimore Cross Country Club. The races
run by the two men in the trial Wednes-
day evening proved them to be above the
class of the others who will. compete in
the event. There is no doubt but that the
fastest time ever made on the Armory
track will be recorded at the end of the
timber-topping race tonight.
Also in the dashes there are several men

exceptionally well. Brewer of George

ALL BUT TWO FOOT
BALL DATES FILLED
Georgetown EIeven'S Sched-
uIe Is Practically Completed
for Next Fall.

With the time for the completion of
collegiate foot ball schedules for next
season gradually drawing to a close,
Georgetown University has all but COM
pleted it's list Of games for the coming
gridiron campaign, as there are but two
open dates. and these are pending with
northern colleges. Two Of the teams that
played a very important part in the foot
ball schedule Of the West Enders last
season will not meet the Hilltop institu-
ton during the coming season, as the
Blue and Gray management has not ar
ranged games with either the Army or
Lehigh. The reason for these two teams
being absent from the Georgetown sched-
ule during the coming season is that the
local management was unable to arrange
a satisfactory date with the Army, and
Lehigh University was unwilling to play
the West Enders Thanksgiving day. as
the date comes within the week of the
Lehigh-Lafayette game.
The Thanksgiving date has been filled
this season by the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute, which team will in all proba-
bility be much stronger opponent than
Lehigh proved to be during the last two
years. The Polytechnic Institute of Vir-
ginia has been consistent In putting out
good teams on the gridirOn for several
years, and considering the rivalry be-
tween the local university and the south
ern school, the game should be one OF
greatest interest and command attention
not only in this vicinity, but throughout
the entire south, as it will no doubt have
an important bearing on the south At
lan,ic championship.
The complete schedule for next season
will in ali probability be announced by
Manager Loichot some time during the
week, as the games that are now pend
ing will no doubt be finally settled by
that time. That Georgetown should have
schedule that will prove as great
financial success as it will from the view
point of the sport itself is almost GER
tain, as all the elevens that have been
booked to appear in this city next fan
have a very strong backing in both
alumni and followers in this city.
The schedule is as follows:
September ., Randolph-Macon.
October D. Mt. st. Marys College.
October II, Washington and Lee.
October 10, Agricultural and Mechanical
College of North Carolina, at Raleigh.
October g. Carlisle.
