Efficient trade schools for the edu-
cation of printers apprentices yes
terday was advocated in the report
issued by the committee on appren-
ticeship appointed by the United ~
pothetae of America,
The committee scouts the idea that
efficient printers can be developed by
the snattering of the trade to be
gained in public school instruction.
The report says:
Public school trade training of i'm
mature youths will simply result in
turning loose a horde of cheap, IN
experienced young workmen, who
must unlearn under practical shop
conditions many of the things they
supposedly learned instead of giving
to the employer a well-deyeloped'
mentally alert youth, all ready for
serious trade study.
The reason given for this is that
the equipment in the ordinary public
school never can be complete enough
to give a satisfactory result and that
the great diversity of subjects
taught in the public schools does
away with the necessary concentra-
ton.

Lincoln knew that Mr.. WelIes had
been an old-time states rights Demo-
crat. He had, however differed with
the Democracy upon the slavery
question, or at least. upon the ques-
ton of permitting slavery to be es-
tablished in the territories.
"As an editor he had written very
strong and earnest articles in which
he supported the free-soil doctrine of
the Republican party. He was in
perfect accord with Lincoln on this
policy. Mr.. Lincoln reasoned that
the appointment to his cabinet of a
man who had been a Democrat but
who had parted with his party upon
the free-soil issue was a very eX-
pedient thing to do. / think Mr.. Lin

In the November American Maya

entitled. ANDY Reagan, Successful
Failure" in which he makes the fol-
lowing comment on the romance of
making money:
Year by year, the romance Of max
ing money in America is creeping far
ther west. Already it has crossed the
Mississippi, and wealth-corralling in
the East is a coldly analytical game
of cost systems, efficiency experts,
advertising campaigns and the charts
of business forecasts.
but the search for romance in
business has developed the typical
American-a rowing entrepreneur.
Time was when a hundred-mile trip
meant county gossip; but now a
coast to-coast jaunt occasions mere
elevating of the brows and request
for picture postals.

ROCKEFELLER'S GIFTS ALL
MAKE HIS HEIRS RICHER
BY HERBERT QUICK

| Copyright, 1913, by the Newspaper
Enterprise Association.)
John D. Rockefeller is sure to die
the worlds greatest philanthropist.
He has given q hundred millions to
the Rockefeller Foundation. One of
the tasks of this foundation is to
find a cure for cancer. There is
scarcely a disease on the trail OF
which the Rockefeller researchers
are not camping. Men like Carrel and
Flexner march in this war under
Rockefeller's banner.
The work of this great foundation
in combating the hookworm is of
itself the greatest of all philanthro-
pies judged by its results.
Hookworn is probably mans worst
enemy. Few will believe this on the
first statement, but a survey of the
world shows that from the latitude
1872 degrees north to 80 degrees south
all the world is infected with the
hookworm.
Hooliworm is nearly third of the
America.
Hookworm in nine-tenths of South
America, all of Africa, the most popu-
lous part of Asia and three-fourths
of Australia.
Hookwor,,, in practically al the rich
islands of the South Seas and in the
West Indies.
Hool1worn, in short, in four-fifths
of the habitable world. And note
this: Read the list of infested coun-
tries and you will call the roll of the
backward, debilitated, benighted, in
dolent, inefficient peoples.
Rockefeller's money has already
cured scores of thousands of hook
worm victims in the United States
The medicine costs less than ten cents
a cure. and never fails. To the extent
that the unprogressiveness Incidence
and inefficiency of the tropical peoples
are owing to hookworm infection,
Rockefeller's money can redeem these
millions from the curse of tropical
Iinferiority. l have no doubt that this
inferiority is owing, not to the heat
of those climes. but to infestations
of hookworm, malaria, yellow fever
and few other plaques of less con-
sequence. Rockefeller with his mill
ions is on the trail of them all.
And yet so miserable was the plight
of Midas that even his most sacred
aspirations served his pocketbook ana
turned everything to gold-the How-
ers when he tried to smell them, the
food that entered his lips, the very
