You are? Why? Isn't he well?"
Pretty we'll, but he amt strong, and
he gets too excited over things like

me that the doctor says he must be

about him ever since"

look to you?"

GLYNV TELLS ABOUT
TRADE SCHOOL ARTS
w. R. Hodges Heads Depart
ment of School Admin
istration.

Frank l.. Glynn, director Of the trad
instruction department of the cit.
schools Of New Haven, Conn. was prin
cipal speaker at the closing session o
the department OF school administra
tion held yesterday forenoon, His sui
ject was ''Trade Schools.
Officers were chosen at the meetin
for the department for the ensuing
year as follows; w. r. Hodges, pres
dent CT the board Of education q
Sleepy Eye, Mimi, president; Jose +
tion at Santa Fc. n NJ. vice president
and Frank NJ, Bruce, publisher of th
American School Board Journal, Mil
waul1ee, Wis, secretary.
Mr.. Glynn said in part:
Recently there has been great
deal of discussion as to the why's
and wherefores of the teaching Of
manual arts, home making and vo-
cational pursuits of an industrial
nature in our public school sys
TENS. For any reality of worth
or effectiveness it has mainly end
ed with more discussion when con
sidered from the point of view of
specific trade training for indus
trial purposes.
The state Of Connecticut stands
as leader in this field, having
passed over the discussion stage
and dealt with immediately the &c
tual solution. It's beginning was
through the efforts of Charles D.
Hine, the commissioner of educa
ton for the state, through whose
investi cations the state legislature
made special appropriation for
the establishment of experimental
schools, his idea being that the
best method of working out sys
TEN was by actually attempting 1T
rather than to merely analyZe
from A purely theoretical point of
view. There were two experimen-
tai schools established in the state
little over three years ago, one
in New Britain and the other at
Bridgeport, Both of these schools
have been operating under the
same general plan, with the pur-
pose in view Of offering specific
training in selected trades, cover
ing in so far as possible the equiv
olent of the old apprenticeship,
which has of late years been en-
tirely lost. The course for this in
struction covers q period of 1900
ol6Iy 'liIihubC hplllS " dpPlONCu
training. The time devoted covers
an eight to niue-hour day, FIVE and
one-hat days a week, hfty-two
weeks a year, allowing two weeks
each year of vacation for appren-
tices, foremen and other teachers,
known to us by the factory term
of employees.
The ideals Of the schools are to
maintain complete factory organ
ization, engaging men who are prl-
marily skilled mechanics, rather
than certifcated graduates from
pedagogical or other training
schools, Not that the teachers
training is of no value by any
means, but that primarily the pref
erence should always be made to
the man who has an accurate and
skilled working knowledge of his
trade, rather than to one who has
smattering of it with a broad ed
ucational appreciation. In order to
have a man or woman teach to ad
vantage, he or she must have a work
ing knowledge of the trade to be
taught,

PENROSE WILL
DIRECT FIGHT
FOR MINORITY
Democrats to Launch Their
Tariff Bill in Senate We'd
nesday, When Battle Over
Rates Will Begin.
DEBATE EXPECTED
TO LAST FIVE WEEKS
Republicans Prepare Two Re-
ports, Five Senators Joining
in One and La Toilette
Responsible for Other.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Discus-
sion of the Underwood Simmons tariff
revision bill, with its lengthy free list,
greatly reduced rates on all commodi-
ties and its new system of ad valorem
instead of specific rates, will actually
begin in the senate next Wednesday at
noon. On Monday, however, the open
ing assault upon the Democratic meas
ure will be made by Senator McCum-
her Of North Dakota, who will speak
on the agricultural schedule. The fl
nance committee agreed that he should
be given the floor ahead of the formal
opening because he is obliged to leave
Washington Monday night.
Chairman Simmons, speaking for the
Democrats at the finance committee
meeting today, said he thought the de-
bate on the bill should be concluded in
five weeks, and Senator Smoot of the
minority agreed with hlmN declaring
that the Republicans had no intention
of purposely prolonging the discussion.
Two Minority Reports.
After the committee, early in the
day, had ordered the bill reported
Wednesday, minority members began
TO plan their reports. There probably
will be two by Senators Penrose,
Smoot. McCumber, Gallinger and Clark,
aud separate report by Senator La
Toilette, who has had corps of ex-
perts al work on the bill, and who will
have amendments that will constitute
practically new measure.
Senator Smoot has in preparation a
new wool schedule which he intends to
submit as an amendment Monday. Sen
ator Simmons will file the majority re-
port and make the opening arguments
for the Democrats and the administra-
ton. During consideration of the meas
ure, Senator Simmons will have general
charge of the debate for the Demo
Gratis, and Senator Penrose for the Re
publicans.
Senator Simmons, however, will par
eel out the bill to the various members
of the finance committee majority, fol.
lowing the plan adopted by Mr.. Under
wood in the house.
AS reported TO the senate the bill
contained comparatively few changes
from that which was reported three
weeks ago to the Democratic caucus by
the finance committee majority. Among
these were a few changes in rates and

kets costing less than 40 cents a pound,

PROGRESS IS MADE
ON CURRENCY BILL

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE ad-
ministration plan for government
controlled federal reserve board to ad
minister the entire banking system,
provided for in the Glass currency
bill was endorsed today practically
without amendment by the Democratic
members of the house banking and cur
rency committee.
After some discussion they agreed on
the proposed salary of 900 year
for each member of the board. The
bill was amended, however, TO provide
that the four members of the board
to be appointed by the president should
be distributed geographically through
out the country and to require that
they should devote all Of their time to
their duties on the board.
Well satisfied with their work OF
the conference during the last two days
on the bill the Democrats of the com
mittee adjourned today until Monday.
The conference considered the terms
on which state banks may become mem
bcrs of the regional reserve banks and
the division Of earnings. The provision
limiting shareholders to an annual
cumulative dividend Of five per cent
was approved,
1t was agreed that all OF the net
earnings of the reserve banks above
the five per cent cumulative dividends
to the stockholders should be paid to
the United States government, the
20 per cent surplus Of each bank re-
naming the property of the govern.
ment so as TO put the stockholding
banks at all times on an equal basis.
The currency and banking committee
of The Cha mber OF Commerce of the
Upjted States. which has been in spe-
ciaI session here for several .]a-s to-
night telegraphed d 1000 word report on
the administration currency bill TO San
francisco for the meeting there next
Monday OF the chambers board of dircc-
tors
The committee approved the essential
principles OF the bill but suggested sew
eral amendments TO Improve and
strengthen" II is recommended that the
federal reserve board. which would con-
troll the system OF reserve banks pro-
yided for in the bill. be increas sed from
seven TO nine. the original seven choos-
ing the additional members; tbat the
governor and that the directors of fed
eral reserve banks be empowered TO elect
a federal advisory counsel TO sit In con-
ference at stated intervals with the
board. That reserve banks be at least
equal TO private banking esta blishments
was urged in the report as essential in
order that they may have the desired
potency in the foreign exchange move
ments.' In this connection IL is Sug-
gested that the creation of reserve banks
begin Monday in the present central re-
serve cities
The committee also urged that the
limitation OF $500, COO. 600 on issues of fed
eral reserve notes was unnecessary and
undesirable and that the assumption of
an obligation by the government TO re-
deem the reserve notes was unnecessary
and might in critical times seriously en-
barrass the treasury
