VOCATIONAL TRAINING.

Charles II. Huntington, of the
Curtis Publishing company, of Phila-
delphia, gave an interesting illustra-
tion in an address before the Public
Education association of that city the
other day of the way the problem of
vocational education" comes home
to the employer.
I'VE had vacancy recently in our
force of typists,' he told the audi
ence, "and we had to interview 10
individuals before we found COM
petent person. Fifty of the candi-
dates were obviously untitled and
about 25 were tested before one COM
petent worker was secured
This and similar experiences had
led somebody in the company to make
a special study of the amount OF
effort it required to get competent
help Mr.. Huntington described
the situation thus:
ITO fill the position of correspond
emit it is necessary for the Curtis Pub
fishing company to interview from e

SYMPATHETIC VIBRATION.

This is the name given by William
Hawley Smith to simple and there
fore remarkable theory of the mind s
action
Its principle is that of the wireless
telegraph
Strike a tuning-fork in one end of
room, and if fork in the othe>
end is of the same pitch it will re-
spond instantly-but not unless it is
of the same pitch
Start magnetic vibration in a
Marconi wireless apparatus, and an
other apparatus a thousand miles
way, will catch the vibrations and
report them.
You may pound upon a wireless
till you burst the atmosphere and you
will get no vibration unless cor
responding instrument is in exist
ence; but if it does you are as GER
tain to get a thrilling response as
though the two machines were
friends speaking in the same room.
The selection of an occupation in
| life is not hard when common sense
| is used in selection one to which you
vibrate.
| If you sound a tuning-fork thai
has the pitch of A, and get no re
Spouse, try B and C and D, and 81
on until the tremble of a vital inter
est and thrills you through anC
through. Then stop, you are on hol.
ground. You have found what yot
can do.
All of which is fully set forth il
the most wonderful educational booI
of the century-"All the Children o
All the People" by the philosophe
and teacher VIM. Hawley Smith.

than an hour before General Reynolds,
one of the ablest and bravest of the
northern leaders lay dead on the field
with a sharpshooter's bullet in his
brain. But the battle continued with
undated fury. Both sides were great
ly REINFORCED, and the battle line ex-
tended north of the town from Semi
nary Ridge to the bank Of Rock Creek,
which flowed a mile and a half to the
south of Gettysburg. The carnage was
appalling. Finally, about the middle
of the afternoon, General Carl Schurz
who succeeded General Reynolds in
command, retreated toward Cemetery
Hill. just west of Gettysburg, leaving
nearly half of his men dead or wound
ed on the field. In passing through the
town. the Confederates pursued and
captured a large number of the re-
mainder. The left wing. now unable
to hold it's position owing to the re-
treat of the right. was also forced
back. and it too, took refuge on Gene
. terry HILL The first days fight was
over.
The Federelas had lost 10000 men
and were disorganized and discour-
aged. Had this been known to the
confederates. they might have pur-
sued and captured large part of the
Union army.
Between three and four o'clock in
| the afternoon, however, General Han
| cock arrived. His presence inspired
| confidence and renewed hope in the
| ranks of the Federals. Meade reached
| the scene late at night, and chose to
make the field the place of general
engagement. Lee had come to the
same decision and was calling all his
iegions to come with all possible speed
| to Gettysburg.
Every one realized that the decisive
| battle Of the civil war was in progress.
| The people of the north and south
waited with breathless eagerness for
| its outcome.

This was the situation in June, 1868,
when Lee with a splendid army of So
600 veterans crossed the Potomac. His
digestive point was Harrisburg. Pa.
His army was organized in three corps
under the respective commands of
Longstreet Ewell and A. P. HILL He
had planned on dividing his army so
as to approach Harrisburg by different
routes and assess all the towns along
the way for large sums of money. This
plan. however, was abandoned when he
learned that the Army of the Potomac
under General Hooker, was in hot pur-
suit.
1t soon became evident that the
greatest battle of the civil war was at
hand. Hooker, with a force of 1900
men, was determined to crush Lee,
who led the finest army of the south.
On the 2sth of June. Hooker, after a
dispute with Haneck, resigned his
| leadership and General George Gordon
Meade, the strongest OF the corps COM
| manders. assumed command. At this
time the northern and southern armies
| were scattered over large part OF
| southern Pennsylvania and Maryland.
| The new commander of the Army of
the Potomac kept his forces interposed
| between Lee and the Federal capital
| On June 80 General Buford with four
| thousand cavalry was sent to intercept
| the Confederate advance guard in the
! vicinity of Gettysburg, a quiet little
| village in southeastern Pennsylvania
| On the morning of July i the two
| armies were still scattered. the ex-
| tremes being forty miles apart. But
General Reynolds, with two corps OF
the Union army, was but few miles
away to the east and Fastening toward
Gettysburg. From the opposite direc-
ton came Longstreet and Hill with
their forces. Three hours before moor
