"LET ME QUIT"

The Boston Vocation Bureau had grave time
determining the future vocation of one boy. The
decision hinged upon the boys favorite exhibit and
title of a book. The exhibit proved to be in Ma
chinery Hall, St. Louis and the book was "A Trip
to the Moon" As these two confessions denoted
love of mechanics and rowing disposition, they made
engineer of him.
Now, will anyone show normal boy who, if
left to his own sweet WILL would not show symptoms
of mechanics and a rowing disposition? Or a clinic
of surgeons, school of lawyers, convention OF
ministers and bishops, colony of deep-sea fisher
men or land-lubbers whose primal impulse was not
toward things with wheels and rowing? We can
name at least one lawyer whose early selection of
vocations included consecutively bear tanning, clock
mending, ranching,. pitching" on baseball team
and the study of medicine. We heard one spinster
remark with sweet dignity Had | not been Miss
Blank, should have been rowing blade!'
Youths normal impulse cries. like Sternes star
ling Let me out! Let me OUT" and it is the par
ents most perplexing problem to perceive how far
conditions and discipline should let it out or bring
it under control. But bureau of vocation is per-
fectly safe in hitting upon mechanics and rowing

and impulse of ninetynine boys out of one hundred

AMERICAN WASTE FROM FIRES.

Last year the fire loss in this nation was approx-
mately S2500000O0, or $3.50 per capita for men,
women, and children. The loss in the cities was pro-
portonatey larger The greater part of this loss
either to criminal careIessness or to
systematzed arson which is in turn, due to the a.t
tude of fire insurance companies.
Compare this loss of nearly S2.5O per capita with
the losses in Europe, where the buildings older
and more congested the population denser the
narrower, the frefghting forces and equipment Far
less efficient. England's annual fire loss was 81
cents per capita France and Russia led the Continent
last year with per capita loss of "a cents which
was more than quarered by Germany with per
capita loss of only 20 cents Dresden, Germany with
a population of sol 900, had fire loss in 1912 of
81 800 or 3 cents per capita.
There is only one way to explain this great differ
ence between the United States and the countries of
Europe 1t is the difference between carelessness
and great caution; between utter disregard of prop
erty and life and the most stringent laws safeguard
ing both-laws that are enforced TO the point of
severity in the Old World
Our carelessness in this respect is costing this
nation not less than S15OO0OO0O a year-at least
that much Of the $4,000 900 fire loss of 1912 was
preventabe. The cost is divided among so many
that it causes none to rebel, and yet if Congress
should increase the expenses of the Government
that much in one year it would mean suicide for tine
party in power 1t would furnish theme for everv
orator and every editor of the opposition that would
literally overwhelm the party that added such bur-
den to all the people,
But so long as the waste occurs in way familiar
to us ALL and practced by most of us, we are not
aroused In fact, we rather regard the agitation in
favor of fire prevention as fad.

WHAT CAUSES DIVORCES.

The convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church will discuss the divorce problem, and il is
predicted, take steps to commit that great denomina
ton to policy that will make it very difficult for
Divorces to be remarked by any minister of that
faith
The discussion is to bring nany interesting
facts to prominence, and may, it is hoped, furnish
an explanation of some of them.
Why are divorces more frequent in rural districts
than in cities? Washington State leads the list in
divorces granted in proportion to number of mar
riages while New York State stands third from the
bottom of the list. The first eight States in percentage
of divorces granted agricultural States while
States having the largest cities within their borders
are well down the list. Illinois, for example, is twen
y-thrd
report just issued by Ohio shows that one mar
cared failure while in Philadelphia only one mar
riage in twenty-seven eliminates in divorce
Continuing the analysis still further, it is found
that not only do the cities furnish fewer divorces in
proportion to marriages than do the rural districts
but in the cities the American born and American an
cestored furnish the bulk of divorces The foreign
born or foreign descendants of the first or second
generation marry young raise large families and
live happily, far the divorce court records show
Of course all Of these facts at variance with
popular fancy, which teaches that the free and easy
life of cities the myriad of diversions the lack Of
neighborhood life, the petty vices and bright lights
are destructive of morals and home life, while the
simplicity and solitude and purity of the country make
for permanent homes and happy ones
they also furnish quite commentary upon the
Americans boast that this nation has higher moral

CANADA OUT FOR GRAIN TRADE.

Canada is to build new canal at Sault Ste.
Marie, new Welland canal, and is to deepen the
St Lawrence canals so that each Of these artificial
maritime connections will allow the passage of ships
with thirtyve feet draft which is about the average
draft of the ships running from Liverpool to the
Montreal docks. This will enable ocean going ships
to steam as far inland as Fort William and obviatc
the necessity of breaking cargo in Montreal, Kings
ton, and Port Coborne. With the improvements low
under way in Toronto harbor and the completion of
the new Welland canal each of which contracts is 70
be finished within four years, the Dominion of Can
ada will be in such position to compete for the
graln-carrying trade will make New Yorks efforts
in the way of barge canal seem puerile.
The waterways of Canada are the Dominion S
greatest geographic wonder, natural resource that
its people and its government never have been slow
TO utilize and improve to the fullest extent of their
financial resources. Compared to the spectacle pre-
sented by the canals of the Empire State the artificial
waterways of Ontario and Quebec carving ocean
going ships around the rapids of the ST. Lawrence
and the falls of Niagara, are monumental And they
