Children Must Learn How to
Earn Living, Says Expert.

That greatest present need in this
country is for the continuation school,
where children who cannot go farth er
than than tho grades can learn some
useful occupation, is the view held by
Dean l.. T.. Reber of the University of
Wisconsin Extension Division, in n
bulletin just published by the Wis
consin State Board of Industrial Educa.
ton.
I'm this country. though we give
the child no vocational training in the
elementary course, we make no effort
to give him after he has left school the
chance for such further training as
would make him desirable citizen, "
writes DR.. Reber.
Three main classes of people will be
found to whose needs the continuation
school should be adapted. The first
class comprises those deficient in early
education who are anxious to make up
their deficiencies. The second class is
made up of unframed but intelligent
wage earners who will more or rea Oily
recognize the value of opportunities for
self Improvement The third class
consists of persons of retarded mental
development who have no ambition or
desire for personal improvement and no
appreciation Of tho possible value to
themselves Of training for a vocation.
For time at least, the economic
value of effort and time expended up
on this third class will not be appar-
emit. either to themselves or their EN-
ployers. But it Is this unambitious,
sometimes indolent, often illiterate and
drifting population that constitutes the
greatest menace to community
Fortunately the solution of the problem
is possible, In nine cases out of ten
this element is recruited from the ranks
of the children whose school experience
was wasted because it made no appeal
to their tastes and abilities, Direction
toward vocational lines in their school
days would have developed useful
citizens, and in vocational training now
lies a possible hope of their regenera

Two Reports In.

Washington, Aug. 2O-The investi.

Everglades drainage project ended
when the house of representatives

partment of agriculture submitted to
the house its findings in majority and
minority reports.
Calls Department Facilitating.
The committee conclusions are:
The majority report called the de-
partment vacillating and lacking con-
ception of the vast investment of mil
lions of dollars in undertaking the
reclamation of the Everglades, said it
constantly subordinated the inquiry
to other work in which members of
congress were particularly interested
and finally abandoned it after an ex
penditure of $11,107 without definite
results. Its accounting system def
cient and its discipline lacking. The
minority upheld the department,
Secretary Wilson-Falsely credited
with authorship of the circular letter
to which real estate promoters first
objected because of its cautionary ma
ture. Promptly suppressed it and re-
fused publication of revised bulletin
excerpts as a report on the Ever
glades Minority reported that he
did not abuse his legal discretion.
Majority Scores Hays.
Assistant Secretary Hays Ar
ra1gned by majority. Minority called
the criticism of Hays unfair and un-
warranted; that his interest in the
possible sale of North Carolina lake
bed to Leigh Hunt and others was
due to his well-known public interest
in the developments of community
country life.
Drainage Engineer Wright-Major-
ity said he accepted fees and COM
missions whenever offered" Minority
reported that no evidence was estab-
Hshed that any financial statement in
dicating great gains from the Malta
muskeet n, c., project were exhibit
ed by Wright to Hays. Financial
statement reaching committee was
faulty and ridiculous and would have
discredited the scheme at once"
DR.. c. G. Elliot, Chief of Drainage
and Assistant Drainage Engineer
MISUNDERSTANDING report stated
that they admitted making an ar
rangement which was regarded as a
violation of the law and of sound pub
lie policy and that there was no profit
intended in it and the department had
disciplined them too severely. The
minority agreed as to the over-disci-
plining, but added that the committee
had no oversight Of the departments

were a fixed institution the secretar-

TWO JERSEY CONVENTIONS.
Republicans and Democrats Meet at
Trenton simultaneously.

Trenton, N. J.-Republican and
Democratic state conventions al
which Presidential electors were
nominated and state platforms adopt
ed were held in Trenton the same af1
ternoon without creating even a stir
of excitement in the political atmos-
phere.
Representatives of the woman suf-
frage movement appeared at both
conventions and asked for recogni-
ton. The Republicans inserted a
plank in Their platform declaring for
woman suffrage. The Democrats
omitted such a plank on the ground
that the calling of a constitutional
convention, which their platform ad-
vocated, would sufficiently cover the
situation.
The Hudson delegation in the Re-
scribe to the planks indorsing Presi-
dent Taft and his administration. The
vote stood "a to 9 in favor of the Taft
proposition.
Governor Wilson told the delegates
at the Democratic convention that the
very crux and heart of the campaign
is the fight which that party is max
ing against ~monopolies. He urged
that this be made the theme of cam
paigners from now on.
The Democratic platform pledges
the party to retain the fundamental
principle of the Geran law, favors in
vestigation of the method of incor-
poration pursued in this state and
advocates the enactment of laws that
will "e~ffectually tend to prevent
m%onopolies."
The Republican platform favors the
adoption of the proposed amendment
to the federal constitution for popu-
lar election of United States Senators
and advocates submitting to the peo-
pie constitutional amendments pro-
viding for suffrage and bien-
NAL sessions of the legislature.
Senator Walter E. Edge of Atlantic
City was chairman of the Republican
convention and Senator James. F
Fielder of Jersey City presided at the
Democratic convention.

WAR IN BALKAN
STATES IMMINENT
Bulgaria, Servia and Greece
Now Threaten Turkey
MODELLING THEIR FORCES
Peace Has Not Yet Been Broken and
Hope Is Expressed in the Official
Quarters That War VIII Not
Be Outcome of TangIe.

Belgrade, Servia-War prepare
tons are being carried on with fever
ish haste. General mobilization of the
Servian army has been ordered and,
it is expected, will be well under way
in twenty-four hours. The publication
of news of military movements La for
hidden.
According 70 newspaper reports, the
Servian Minister to Turkey, DR.. Nena-
dovitch, has left Constantinople for
Belgrade.
Belgrade is seething with excite
ment. The streets Are full Of uni
formed reservists, and the railway
stations are crowded with men on
their way to join the colors.
The mobilization of the Bulgarian
army simultaneously with that of Ser.
via has added enthusiasm to the occa-
sion.
Athens.-The Greek government, in
agreement with other Balkan states,
ordered the mobilization of her forces
by sea and by land. The eason given
for this step is apprehension on the
part of the Balkan states that
the mobilization of the Turkish army
and the disquieting internal condition
of Turkey might induce the Porte to
seek a way out of the difficulties In
war.
Alexandria, Egypt.-The officers OF
the Greek army reserve here have re.
ceived ~telegraphic orders to join the
colors Immediately. A Co~nstantinople
dispatch says that all Greek vessels
here have received orders to leave
Turkish waters.
Constantinople.-The Servian min
lister handed a notice to the Porte and
the manner of its presentation and
the nature of its text practically
amount to an ultimatum from the
Serb country. Servia asks Turkey to
decide within forty-eight hours
whether to allow the detained wal
munitions to go to Servia or to be re
turned to the manufacturers in
France.
London.-The situation in the Bal
kans has assumed az most menacine
aspect, and in diplomatic quarters IN
London it is regarded as extremely
serious. The only hope is that the
unanimity among the powers in urg
ing a pacific attitude upon the Balkan
states may prevent hostlities.
