VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

The movement for vocational edu- cation in this country is now in full swing. Six states have already more or less complete systems of vocational training and number of others are considering legislation to introduce into the public schools work that will fit boys and girls more directly for earning a living. It is being felt more and more that the state ought to make it possible for children to receive in the public schools instructions that will fit them directly for productive em ployment in useful occupations such the trades and industries, agricul- tural education for the farmers, com mercial education for the clerks, sales men and domestic science for non- wage earning occupations connected with the home.
 States have taken up this work in different directions. schools based on both the European models and others following the American type, having been ablished with excellent results. It is significant that the six states that have already set up systems of vocational education-Massachu chusetts, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Indiana-have long had excellent schools. The new education which they are introducing is not in tended to replace the old, but to sup plement it: to give training for spec flied employment in addition to the regular schooling, so that the boys and girls may be more efficient and will ing workers. as well as better educated individuals. Schools in this state show the value of the voca tional instruc- tions.

THE GOVERNMENTS SERVICE.

Taking advantage of the unsuspect- ing public has long had free rein and the greater the success the larger. the number who have been tempted to en- ter into the practice of getting some thing for nothing. The activity of the government, however, has offered the greatest check. for the gullible and easily convinced public fail to pro- fit from the lessons which are of fre- quent occurrence, when an alIuring get rich quick scheme is unfolded to them.
 Concerning the work of the govern ment in this direction the Boston Transcript says The conviction of Julian Hawthorne and two of his as sociates of fraudulent use of the mails is additional evidence if any is need ed, of the value of a statute whose worth has been often controverted. Really. the case is one of 3 series of prosecutions the government has sue cessfuily conducted, but the associa tions clustering about the name of Hawthorne have given it promi- hence to the public that preceding trials of other offenders did not at tain. The regret at the besmirching of a great name is natural to all men. It is especially keen in the present in stance, for the man who made that name illustrious was singularly free IFOIH SuIle The son, though not equal to the father inherited enough of the latters literary qualities to give fleet ing glimpses of them in his writings, and it appears to have been his and the pubic's misfortune that the re- semblance did not go further
 The sad feature is the disregard for their family names and regulations but there is good grounds for the be- lief that whatever Hawthorne and the others did, it cannot be attrabuted to their elders.

WHY A RuM7

T.

This is true of all cities. a consequence from the fact that there are loafers and tramps, men Uho seem to prefer such lives of idle ness and uncertainty to work and bet ter conditions.

Apparently buttons are to be em- ployed in unstinted quantities. Blouses. dresses, jabots coats and skirts are trimmed with them in every conceiv- able style
 The small buttons in curious shapes and very bright colors will be the most popular.
 Ball and semi ball shapes are still popular. but what is called the floral crystal button is the newest. 4 clear cup shaped crystal button, with white porcelain center, decorated with tiny floral patterns. is novelty. Pear shaped colored crystals and round crystals, small shaped. with a rose de- sign in center, are also new styles. Bulgarian effects still continue among the fads of the hour These are to be seen in crystal and in crochet. Another result of the Bulgarian craze is the re- Vival of flat metal buttons decorated in conventional Bulgarian designs. These were very popular some years ago.

FOR CHILDREN's CLOTHES.

There is no doubt that sewing but tons on the children's clothes takes a great deal of time. Shanks fastened underneath are not advisable, as they may press against the flesh and must always be removed for washing. A good plan to prevent buttons from peeling off is to run a strip of tape on the under side of a fastening to which the buttons may be SeWed. The tape will hold the buttons firm and prevent them from pulling out with bit of the material, SIS they are quite likely to do on children's clothing.
