HIGH SCHOOL AND RAILROAD
COOPERATE

Boys IN the high school at Nc
Comb City, Miss, earns from $12
to $18 a month regularly while at
tending school. 4 plan of co-opera-
ton has been drawn up between the
high school and the Illinois Central
Railroad. whereby the boys attend
school one day and work in the rail-
road shops the next, according to In
formation received at the United
States Bureau Of Education. The
"student-apprentices." as they are
called. T paid for their work in
the shops, the minimum wage being
IL cents an hour. After four years
Of combined high school attendance
and shop work the boy is prepared
to enter college or draw a mans pay
at his trade.
Railroad and school authorities
both agree that the plan works well.
The railroad officials in charge of
the boys said: After actual tests 1t
is shown that the plan of Corpora
ton between the Illinois Central
shops and the McComb City High
School is not only feasible but that
it is working out in a manner en-

Superintendent Hughes, of the
school system Is equally enthusiastic
over results from the schools point
of view. He believes the plan offers
one solution of the problem of keep
ing boys in school; that it fosters a
boys spirit OF independence and sat-
isles his commendable ambition to
get into the game Of life.
The McComb City plan is another
indication of the strength of the
present movement for systematic
vocational education in connection
with the public schools. 1t is note
worthy in that 1t does not lose sight
Of the need for continued cultural
training for the boy who may want
to earn his living In the shops.

THE CIVIC

There Is q new official in American
| city life-the "civic secretary" He
! represents the link between educa-
| ton and life In the big cities. For
a number of years American educa-
tors have been striving to bridge the
chasm that seemed to exist between
educational influences and the every
| day lives Of the people. By means
of evening schools, libraries, extern
sion lectures, and more recently civ
ic, social, and recreational centers,
much has been done. 1t has remain
ed to combine these connecting edu-
cational forces under one active Off
Ger, and this has been accomplished
by the new position Of civic secre-
tary.
The "civic secretary" at Duluth,
Mimi, Is appointed by the board of
public welfare of that city, according
to information received at the United
States Bureau Of Education. He has
charge of all the local social-center
work. Plans to secure the same sort
Of officer are reported to be under
way In several other cities Of the
middle west. The official may not
always be called the ''civic secre-

ly the same. He organizes educa-
tional extension work; gives intelli-
gent and sympathetic aid to play and
recreation: stimulates discussion of
public problems; in short. he con-
solidates and directs the civic agen-
cies Of the community for the bene-
fit Of all the citizens.
In Superior, Wis, a "city exposi-
ton" is planned by the civic secre-
tary. who is here called director of
the civic center department" In
this city exposition not only the local
Industries but the educational and
municipal institutions will have an
opportunity to exhibit their methods
and results. The exposition idea is
only a single item in a large pro-
gram mapped out by the director.
There will be various social and re-
creational activities, lecture courses
civic and ward improvement clubs,
and a clipping bureau will be estab-
lished to collect information on So
cial, civic, and municipal matters.

Repeated tests Of the water from the
city mains III all sections Of the city
since the installation Of the chlorina-
tion plant have shown steady I'M
provement in the condition Of the
water supply, The tests show that
the water is now absolutely safe and
the constant tetsing of the samples of
water from all of the mains in the city
Laboratories will enable the health de-
partment to give timely warning of
any change in the condition of the
water due to the failure of the ehlori-
nation plant to work properly or to
any other cause. It is certain that the
water now being delivered through the
mains would pass the state test and
that it s practically free from disease
germs and fit for use for all purposes.
This has been accomplished at cost
of less than a thousand dollars and if
the water can be kept in its present
condition through the whole year, es-
pecially through the seasonal storms Of
the spring and fall, the city will get
greater benefits for the money it ex-
pended on the chlcrination plant than
it ever got for any other thousand it
ever spent.

THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1918.

The supreme court Of Alabama has
decided to reverse no more decisions
on grounds purely technical. The su-
preme court there has the right under
the basic law to adopt such rule and
to make it binding on other courts
Of appeal within the commonwealth,
and when the proposal was put to vote
IL won by four to three. Accordingly
after September l next, no case will
BE reversed for technical error I'm
less it can be shown afirmatively that
the whole cause Of the appellant has
been injured thereby.
Thus the fact that an "a' happens
to have been substituted for the !"
in an indictment, or that a comma
which should be present is mysterious
~ and ominously absent, will no long
e. be permitted to keep litigants in
court. The court is evidently trying
fhe rare experiment Of putting the
spirit Of justice above the letter.

Man Slips Out of the Jail at
Zion City and Makes
Good His Escape.
MAKES GOOD HIS PROMISE

Circus Solly is not in it when it comes
to a sensational escape made from the
Zion City Jail, Sunday night. Clark
Brooks, young man about Fl years
of age, residing in Chicago, was ar
rested at nine o clock Sunday night,
for smoking on the North Western de-
pot platform. He was wroth at being
thrust into cell and locked up and
swore he would never stay there till
morning.
George Stried, fireman and special
policeman was on duty at the fire sta
tion Sunday night and saw Brooks
safely behind the bars, but he reports
that later he visited the prisoner and
he found the iron bars of the cell had
been slightly bent. He reported the
matter to Captain Walker but it was
thought impossible for a man to es-
cape. Later Stried went to see the
prisoner again and the bars had been
Strengthened again.
About midnight, Jack Wallace, a
night Waterman, was on his beat
when he spied a man jump from the
roof of the fire station and run. Wal
lace did not know who the man was,
so did not attempt pursuit. Inquiry,
however, was made at the station
and it was found that Brooks had
somehow pried the bars open and
crawled through. Just how he got
through is a mystery to the police,
for OH measuring the bent bars this
morning there was only a space Of Ga
inches between them. The prisoner had
somehow pried them open and by some
miraculous contortions had crawled
through. He then opened a window
and jumped on the roof and made his
escape.
Brooks made good his threat to es-
cape, but evidently he has missed his
vocation for the world s greatest
showmen are no doubt on the hunt
for men who could bend an iron bar
IL in. thick and wiggle through 6A
in. space.

of the action. Officials of the club de-
clare that they will make it business
to see that every person throwing glass
into the street is arrested and fined.

Loss FROM FLIES.
government Report Shows Big Econo-


mic Loss to Nation in Dollars.
Figured out in money, to say nothing
of the loss in human life, the cost to
the United States annually of support
ing its fly population amounts to $751;
500, 900, say government experts, who
have been making a study of the re-
suits Of the germ-spreading activities
of those insects.
1t is estimated that the fly is re-
sponsible for an expenditure of $780,
100000 for the handling of tuberculosis
cases, attributable to germs spread by
the pests, while $7o,ooo,OoO represents
the cost of typhoid fever cases orig
mating in the same way.
As a carrier of intestinal fever AMI
summer diseases, and Transporting
agency of dysentery, the fly. scientist
say, must be charged with an expendl-
ture Of $37 100000 for the cure of these
diseases.
Satisfactory results are reported in
nearly every city where anti-hy cam
paigns are in progress. In Washington
there has been a noticeable falling Oft

Methods of lighting the fly which
have been followed in the national
capital this Summer are Endorsed in
a bulletin just issued from the office
of the state entomologist of Minnesota.
The Washington plan was inaugural
ed with a cleanup campaign. Since
then the method has consisted prinei-
pally of bringing to the attention of
citizens, by means of educational pos
tiers, letters and newspaper articles,
suggestions for fly eradication that
have been tried out with success in
various cities.
The situation has aroused health Of
ficials generally and the health depart
ments of practically every municipal

tance of keeping the pests away from

aTART ANTI-NoIsE CRUSADE.
Mayor Head APP Jals to North Western
to Suppress Railway Whistles Here.


Mayor Dan. o. Head has sent let
ter to the officials of the North Western
Railway Company demanding the sup
preston of some of the whistles on
North Western engines. 1t is claimed
that the engineers pull the whistle cord
when the train strikes the limits of the
city and keep up the screech until the
train is nearly at the Kenosha station.
The mayor is not of the opinion that
this sort of noise is necessary 10 give
warning of the approach of a train and
he has demanded that the unnecessary
sounding Of the whistles be eliminated.
Orders have been issued to the police
to suppress the automobile and motor
cycle cut out fiends. Men who are ae-
cushioned to run the length of the
street with the cut out open will be
forced to appear in court and defend
their actions. Kenosha is going to have
a little less noise if few judicious ar
rests will bring this result.

verse report, and was killed in flash
on the assembly floor. Then Nordman
introduced resolution for an investiga-
ton of conditions in northern Wiscon-
sin, by committee to report a remedy.
This went to the committee on state
affairs. Assemblyman Vint stood by it,
but it was likewise brought out and
slain.
Meanwhile Mr.. Gulickson, republican,
had introduced a resolution to increase
the powers of the legislature in taxa
ton matters. 1t was decided to substi-
tute for it the Workman resolution, so
the amendment finally came out, faith
cred from the republican side, but with
two committeeman, T. A. Stewart, and
Chinook, dissenting.
Meanwhile the single tax idea had
been gaining strength. The Nordmau
substitute was adopted, 43 te so. The
vote took another jump upward, and OPP
position waned few days later when
the assembly passed the resolution, 6S
to 20. A large part Of the gain came
from Workman s own party Only nine
democrats voted for the substitute at
first; nineteen voted for it on passage.
In the senate it struck another snag.

went down to defeat on tie vote, Is
to Is. BY the next morning five sena-
tors had been converted. One who vot-
ed against it moved reconsideration,
and it was adopted, 20 to TO-
This is the story of an amendment
which promises to be an issue in the
next campaign. Single taxes are dis
cussing an organization to work for it,
and there is no doubt that candidates
for the legislature will be Intercepted
on their position, for it must run the
gauntlet of second session. 1t is re-
ported that its adoption has already
had an effect on land speculation in the
north, where big holders. are less eager
to "hold for a raise and more ready
to sell to settlers.
Nordman will be candidate for re
election on the issue Of ratification of
the amendment by the next legislature
