AUTOMOBILES AND HIGH SCHOOL

Wiseacres declare that the auto
mobile industry needs skilled work
ers, and boys who are interested in
being skilled automobile workers
need the high school.
That is the basis of the school
and shop system onw in effect in
Lansing, Mich, as reported to the
United States Bureau of Education.
In Lansing the high school and the
automobile industries of the city CO.
operate in educating boys who wish
to go beyond the eighth grade in
school but need something different
from the usual academic curriculum
oBys in the industrial-eo-operat
course spend the first year wholly in
school. After that they divide their
time equally between school and
shop, working one week at school
and the next week in the automobile
or gas engine shop, or wherever they
are employed. Thus the present be-
ginning class of twenty, when they
finish the preliminary year this June
will go to work as apprentices In
Lansing manufacturing plants. The,
will have two weeks vacation durin}
the summer and in the fall they will

Chicago. In Hammond there are
of family earns only 50 to $3.50
day but whose numerous children add
to the income until it reaches as
as 5000 month or more.
There children are healthy. their
minds are occupied and hence they
have little time for the vices and
lfrivolities. They are provided with
good homes and honor their parents
The daughters dress well. are
virtuous. marry good husbands and
raise fine families. This is especially
true of the German element of the
population.
Usually the children of family
| like this are given a common school
education. Then they go to work
and give good accounts of themselves.
| The foundation of many small
family fortune is laid in this way.
OF course there are SOME instances
where the provident German carries
matters to an extreme. He compels
his children to go to work as soon as
the law will let them, often sooner by
making false representations as to
their ages.
He insists ON these children giving
| him most or all of thier wages with
the result that frequently there is a
rebellion against parental restraints
and the boys and girls either &c
| wrong or they cut loose from the
family and strike out for themselves
! But these are comparatively rare
instances. There are many happy
families in this region where thu
family homestead is paid for ant
where the luxurfes as well as the
necessities of life are common. II
those cases the minimum wage be-

HE WANTS TO KNOW.

Editor TIMES: l see by your paper of
the Goth inst. that the city council of
Gary is thinking of purchasing two
more automobiles at the expense of the
taxpayers. Has the council the power
to spend public money in this way for
unnecessary things? Were they chosen
for a bunch of spendthrifts or to pro-
tect the public from unjust things? A
city council is paid by the public and
are servants of the citizens, and /
think 1t is up to the mayor to rule
against such things instead of sane
tioning them. If they have no legal
power to spend money in this way it
is up to the citizens to call halt on
such even if they have to go to court
and get an injunction restraining such
actions. If they are compelled to show
cause where it is necessary to have
these motors they will have to go some,
for j do not believe they have any more
use for two more autos than a wagon
has for five wheels.
