The back aches at times with dull,
indescribable feeling, making yeu~eary

VOCATION SCHOOLS
PUZZLE TEACHERS
Indiana Educator Declares No
One Knows How to Intro
duce New Methods.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Dec. i.-The
tremendous problems for teachers, pu-
pills, and patrons involved il. the intro
auction of vocational education, which
IS sweeping over the United States, was
touched upon by Prof. W. f. Book, dl-
rector Of vocational education in lndi-
ana, in his prel .minary report just pre-
serted 10 the State board of education.
The last State legislature provided for
the Introduction OF vocational educa-
ton in Indiana's public schools.
That 1t amounts TO revolutio= in
educational methods; that present
teachers and school authorities haven /
the slightest conception of how to in
stitGte and organize the new education,
and that survey of the State must be
made to find out what work can profit
ably be taught to pupils, were some Of
the points Prof Book made. In order
not to throw aside the years of work
that went to build up the present edu-
cational system, Prof. Book recon-
mended that commission be appointed
to correfate the vocational courses with
the present system of teaching English.
arithmetic, geography, etc. The feature
that is likely to redeem the situation
from failure. or at best carry it to {
costly success, according to Prof. Book,
10 that everybody is interested and
willing to make an earnest effort to oe-
gin and prosecute the work
1T seems at this time absolutely nee
ssaTry to help the teachers to teach
the new education said Prof. Book,
and to help superintendents, school
boards, and those interested in making
the adjustments for our vocational etiu-
catioeal problem. Investigations into
professions, salaries, chances for promo
uons, necessary preparation, require
ments for success, and into new voca-
tions opening up should be made
An expert should also be employed
to devise and stanardize tests that
might be used by school authorities to
detect marked ability in our super

SENATORS STATUS
DEFINED BY BACON
Makes Formal Statement to
Offset Effort to Snub Them
in Social Matters.

Arguing that 'the creature cannot be
greater than his creator" Senator Ba-
con of Georgia, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, an au'
thoritv on all questions of precedence
has given out a statement which defines
clearly the social rank of Senators. The
question has become of moment because
there is an effort or to snub Senators
socially.
Senator Racon argues that the Con-
stitution creates no offices except those
Of President and Vice President, the
Supreme Court and the Congress, COM
posed of the Senate and the House. All
other offices have been created by act
OF Congress, and are necessarily infer
ior to the offices created by the Con-
stitution.
Senator Bacon says the President and
the Vice President stand first without
question. Formerly there was a contro:
versy between the Supreme Court and
the Senste. but the Senate "courteously
Welded the right of precedence to tn;
Supreme Court" More that this the
Senate has always refused to concede
For other reasons, which Senator Ba
con enumera tes. the rank of the Sen
ate Is established.
The only exception which Senators
make in refusing to take back seal
for statutory officers is in the case o.
Secretary of State. BY reason of his
relations with foreign governments, the
late Senator Allison established the Gus
tom of allowing him precedence over
Senators. but was willing to go no fur
ther
The other reasons enumerated by
Senator Bacon for the rank of the Sen
ate include its permanency, the fact
that Senators represent sovereign
States. and its power az to treaties and
nominations.

Only few employees of the Pennsyl-

passes before the clase of the year, the
announcement being made that the year

until after January ! and perhaps as
late as January 10.
In explanation Of the delay it was
stated that the Pennsylvania railroad
is anxious for the Pennsylvania Public
Utilities Commissioners to hand ovel
a decision as body, which is out OF
the question until after the new board
meets January I. Furthermore, be
cause OF recent decisions, several revi

opinion prevails at division headquar

FIRE APPARATUS AND SPEED.

e>HE old idea that fre-hghtng apparatus must be
a rushed to the Of conhagration at the
highest possible speed almost regardless Of the dam
age that may be done by it and to it the way is
losing favor in cities since automobile engines
and other appliances have come into use. For in
stance, the city OF Providence, r. l., has established
rule which limits motor-dryen fire apparatus
TO maximum speed Of twenty-five miles hour. The
rule is rigid Under circumstances, the
Board of Fire Commissioners has decreod, that
speed be exceeded IL has decided that the public in
terest demands that reckless driving by nremen shall
be stopped and that there shall be negligent dis
regard Of existing conditions and the rights Of
others in the Another provision the rule
that cen adopted Providence is that when such
motor-driyen apparatus is its way back from fire.
or when it merely is out for practice it shall com
ply in all respects with the tra6hc ordinances
city and with all other rules and regulations which
have to do with the use OF streets by vehicles
Our Wilmington fire companies, which in the past
have made such splendid record for efficient work,
equipping themselves rapidly with automobile ap-
paratus Some OF those new hre-hghting appliances
have maximum speed Of from fifty to sixty miles an
hour It is estimated that in instances they actually
have been rushed through streets At a speed OF
at least forty miles hour The question naturally
arises whether it would be wise for our city Off
cialG to follow the example of those in Providence
and establish maximum, not only for the protection
OF general traffic but also for the protection Of the
hremen and their expensive apparatus against reckless
drivers.
No questions, OF coarse the loyalty OF the hre
men to public interest. Nor there any desire &c
impose restrictions which will impair the eficency
of force. In city like this however where tn,
districts are well established and the runs are com
paratisely short it would seem that q reasonabl,
maximum Of speed might be established which woulC
be Of great hsaeht both to the public and the FIRE
men.
