VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE
AS SEEN BY EXPERTS
United States Bureau Of Education
Issues Report on Value of
Present Work,

How the Vocational Guidance Survey
of New York City voluntarily became
the Vocational Education Survey, be-
cause those in charge believed that the
really needful thing was to train chill
dren to be efficient rather than to find
jobs for them for which they were not
trained, is told in a document lust is
sued for free distribution by the United
States Bureau of Education.
What the children really want" says
Miss Alice B. Barrows in the Bureau
report. lis vocational training. The kerr
nel Of truth in this popular movement
for vocational guiance is the need OF
vocational training for children. Voca-
tional guidance should mean guidance for
training. not guidance for jobs. Hence.
under present conditions. the interests of
public school children can best be served.
not by the establishment of a vocation
bureau, but by the development of voca-
tional training
The survey was taken by a joint
committee of the Junior League and
the Public Education Association. 1t
was organized for the purpose Of
studying a group Of New York chill
dren leaving school to go to work, in
the hope of determining what voca-
tionul guidance should mean to the
public schools Of the city. Like all
car. full Investigations of recent times.
this survey demonstrated that eco
nomio pressure" accounts for only
small proportion of the children who
leave school to go to work.
Invc stigation of the children at work
showed that what they wanted more
than anything else was "a job where
you can learn" In most instances they
were not getting 1t. For the most part
their work meant nothing to them: they
were rapidly developing a feeling Of
protest against the lack Of individual at
tention and training; against the military
discipline and inexplicable tasks
On one point the New York report is
explicit. There are no jobs
for children under sixteen which they
ought to take" 1t declares. Furthermore.
it emphasizes the need for more infor-
nation about Industrial conditions before
to steer boys and girls into
positions.
Neither the vocational education BUR
vey nor any other organization has ade-
demand for workers or the opportunities
and conditions Of work and training m
the twenty largest industries, not to
the legion Of smaller ones"
Until more exact information Is At
hand the observation-disclosures movement,
says the report, will remain little more
than a body of good intentions without
any clarified PLAN"

New York. July 7.-President Wilson Il

men on Eastern railroads.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson has been In.
structed to watch the developments with
representatives of the Federal govern.

scene tomorrow OF the momentous con-
ference between the conference commit
tee OF managers representing the forty.
four main lines involved, and the COM
mittee Of 100 representing the conductors
and trainmen.
Should a crisis be reached. Secretary OF
Labor Wilson, acting. 1t 10 said, upon
instructions from the President. is pre-
pared to send the chief Of the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics to New York.
Through their chairman. Elisha Lee.
the railroads have stated they will not
only refuse the demand for 81. 900 900
increased pay made by the men, but they
will refuse to arbitrate under the present
Erdman act. The board OF arbitration,
under the Erdman act. would consist of
three men, one representing the railroads
one the men. and the third to be chosen
by the first two.
Is "Onc-nan Board"
This. the managers assert, is practi-
cally "one-man board" and the is
sue too momentous TO be placed in
the ha uds of one man.
1t was learned tonight that rather
than permit a tie-up of all the roads
east OF the Mississippi and north Of
the Potomac, Congress will be urged
by th. President and by the Secre-
tary OF Labor to so amend the Erd-
man act that a larger board will be
provided for arbitration. A board of
seven or more men will. 1t is believed,
prove acceptable to the railroads.
Tomorrow's conference will be attended
by the managers committee and by a
committee of fifty representatives Of the
Order of Railway Conductors. headed by
President A. B. Garretson and fifty rep
Of the Brotherhood Of Rail-

method that has succeeded elsewhere in vitaliz-

Thus frankly Fred B. Smith sets forth the
mission Of the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment in Honolulu. The opening Of the campaign
last night, at ain Introductory dinner at the Com
mcrcial club, gave Honolulu an impression Of
Mr. Smith and Raymond Robins quite different
from the shouting evangelists with which this
city has been familiar. Honolulu has already
seen and done coed deal along the line of social
welfare work and of religion that touches the
nan in the factory as well as the man in the
pew. Yet Messrs. Smith and Robins will find
3 tremendous task in their. short week here.
There is plenty of room for community extension

And the men are here to do it.

Building of Territorial Jail Must
Wait Awhile, Says Gov.
Frear

Another territorial bond issue may
be floated next fall for further public
improvements in the islands, and until
the next issue Is made, providing a
new loan fund, the construction of the
proposed new Oahu prison probably
will be held in allegiance. Such was
In all, the new penitentiary Is ex-
pected to cost approximately SO, 600,
one-haf of this amount going toward
the purchase of the ground needed as
a part of the new site. This half is
to- be raised from the sale of the pres
ent Jail site. The other half has been
authorized, an act of the legislature
of two years ago providing an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the necessary
new buildings. ...s......s
The money for this appropriation
must come from the loan fund.

improvements, on this and the other
islands. has practically exhausted the
last loan fund.-" said the governor to-
day, land leaves nothing for the new
prison. For that reason its construc-
tion probably will be held up until an
other bond issue is made. Of course,

buildings may be built by prison labor,

''The final plans for the prison have
been completed and were approved this
morning at a conference between Su-

Ripley and myself"
Asked If the construction of the
prison is likely to be delayed indefin-
itely, the governor replied:
Not indefinitely, except that the ac-
tual date for beginning work is not now
determined. 1t will begin just as soon
as the next bond issue is sold.
"How long is that likely to delay the
work."
"The bond issue may be floated next
fall" he answered.

AT MAY & co. TOMORROW

morning Mrs. West of San Francisco
will demonstrate at the store of Henry
May & Co., the Fort street grocers, the
wonderful properties of "Califene",
the new shortening. Henry May &
Co. hope that all their patrons will
call during Mrs. Vests demonstra-
ton, for it will be of great interest,
proving not only the economical value
of "Califene' but it's superiority in eV-
cry way over all other shortcomings.
Mrs. West will show that in making
cakes that would require "a of cup
of butter. two tablespoonful of Cali
fene" is all that is used, and the cakes
are far more delicious than when made
with butter. Mrs. West wants the
ladies of Honolulu to taste her cakes

advise them regarding cooking where
shortening is used. In her demOnStra-
tions Mrs. West uses a Perfection Oil
stove and also electricity.

HAWAII and TIE uTEBACY TEST

Hawaii is not very likely to secure an excep-
ton for this territory to the provisions of what
ever immigration bill passes Congress at this
session or the next. A cablegram from the Star
Bulletins Washington correspondent last Fri
slay brought the news that the Burnett bill had
been reported out of conference and that Hawaii
is not excepted from the operations of the Glitter
acy test There is a good prospect that the Bur
nett bill will pass Congress, since it has already
passed the house and now has come out of con-
ference.
Mail advices received yesterday Indicate that
there was little disagreement in the conference
committee, and it is reasonable to suppose that
the senate will accept the report and that the
Burnett bill will be passed.
For nearly twenty years attempts have been
made to incorporate a literacy test in the immi-
grafton law, and at various times both of the
great national parties have declared themselves
in favor of such a course. Moreover, the test is
not a new proposition to Congress- In the Fifty

KEEP Up TIE WORK FOR PElCE

In the plan Of organization proposed for the
Greater Honolulu Chamber Of Commerce there
Il one omission, which, we believe, needs but to
be brought to the attention of those who are in
charge of the preliminary work to be remedied.
There is DO COMMITTEES en- international peace
and arbitration in the list as made public earlier
b the week aud published IN this paper. !.
There is committed on arbitration, but a
reading Of that part Of the. laws reforming TO
the duties of the committees shows that the arbi-
tiaticn body provided is for fhe purpose of set
Ting local disputes in trade and industry.
Now there is hardly a chamber Of commerce
ID city of any size on the mainland, it is safe
to say, which has not syomlaittee on interna-
tional peace and arbitration. In fact, the in
creasing attention that commercial bodies are
burning to this great subject is onesof the fea-
lures Of chamber Of commerce work nowadays.
The success Of the Lake Mohonk conferences at
tests that fact.
The present Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
has an active and useful committee ON precisely
this subject Last year the committee conducted
strong campaign by offering prizes to pupils
IN local schools for. the best essays on interna-
tional peace Again this year the committee is
offering prizes, the announcement of the 1913
contest having been made some two weeks ago.
The peace committee of the local chamber has
developed its work through the youth and schol-
afship Of Hawaii, and intelligent and broad
minded work it is. Itwould be a pity if the new
chamber, founded on broad, progressive lines,
should not recognize the Importance of continu-
ing its membership in the nationwide cause of
International peace by continuing its construct.

cost and waste of war and the possibility of set

ment rather than by fire and the sword

between the aggressive westerners who wish to

fasteners who insist that the federal govern
ment should take and keep these resources under
it's protecting wing. 1t is this fight which is now
