FOR PRACTICAL TRAINING.

In the course Of her testimony
before the Illinois senate vice COM
mission, which is seeking to find a
connecting link between poor wages
and vice, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, SUI
perintendent of Chicagos great
school system said: "The time is
not far distant when training in the
schools will be the training Of the
student as tool for carving out his
existence rather than to train his ca
pacity for storing up knowledge Of
what men have done in the past. 1t
is our idea to change the common
ambition of every boy to be president.
to an ambition to be master in that
line Of activity for which he finds
himself best fitted. Empty stomachs
mean lessened ambitions, blunted
hopes and inadequate efforts. Voca-
tional schools not only train the
youth how to do, but they educate
him to direct the doing with quick.
an active and appreciative brain.
They mean less loafers, less lazy
children, less human inefficiency.'
There is wisdom in what Mrs.
Young says. Any school which does
not teach practical training of some
sort among it's courses, has not
grasped the idea that education is
for use and not merely for culture.

Sidewalk Sketches
~ Howard L. Ram
THE JUNE BUG.

The June bug is a small, high-temp-
cred bird of prey which sleeps all day
and sallies forth at night, seeking
whom he may devour. A successful
sally on the part Of an incensed June
bug will discourage spooning at the
garden gate quicker than the unlocked
for appearance of father with snake
wood cane. ..4s.
The June bug is degenerate son Of
the Egyptian beetle and has no sense
of etiquette whatever. His favorite &C.
cupation is to break through screen
ed in porch and assault fond lovers
who would, rather not be interrupted.
Thousands of men have attempted to
propose in few. we'll chosen words,
only to be cut short in the middle of a
rhapsody and have to disentangle a
June bug from their
fiancees back hair. Nothing will take
the pulsating romance out Of warm
summer night quicker than to have a
prying June bug land on somebody's
left ear while he is explaining the
beauties of platonic friendship.
The June bug is equipped in child
hood with a suit of armor plate, which
makes him impervious to attack with
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1913-06-12

palm leaf fan or anything short of a
wash tub. Some people fight the June
bug by going in the house and closing
all the windows in rapid staccato.
while others remain at their post and
subdue him with a flat iron. AS re-
suit of this habit, most June bugs die
a violent death and are inferred the
next morning in vacuum cleaner.
Unlike the ta1antula and his neph-
ew, the bump-raising mosquito, the
June bug has no bite or stinger. His
chief weapon is pair of high powered
pinchers which scatter terror and
deep blue dents in their pathway. The
first thing June bug does when he
sits down on anybody IL to- see how
good hold he can get without com
hitting murder. AS rule, his first
hold is sufficient to make the front
porch look like busy day on the
board of trade.
II It were not for the fact that the
June bug always sounds his horn be-
fore coming to full stop against
some invited guest, more people would
stay in doors on hot nights and
swelter in pious accents.

The public is slow to anger, but it
does seem that the people of Iowa are
getting UP their mad a little faster
every day over the trick that the last
legislature played to voting debt of
100000 on the taxpayers to buy a
fifty acre park about the state capitol
at Des Moines. Newspapers all over
the state are rejecting an adverse
public opinion on the capitol grab" as
it is becoming known and citizens in
both public and private walks of life
are expressing themselves against the
outlay of such an enormous amount of
good money for "a silk hat for bare
foot man."

protested against It In vain. With the
"stuff' that makes men" however they
are going right ahead with their cam
paign of education and are making
Roadway In spite of the naihtants' cam

Woman suffrage will come when the

not be due to the outrages perpetrated
by the insane and misguided anarchis-
tic, criminally inclined mtlftants.
No, Miss Dawson, is not martyr.

MAY Apply Learning,

Burlington Hawk.Eye: 1t Is said
that President Wilson will shape the
new currency legislation so far as the
house Is concerned. Another report
has it that the Aldrich investigation Of
the currency question will form the
foundation on which the democratic
bill will rest. There ls nothing sur
prising about that because the investf-
cation was made by over 100 experts
besides the members Of the senate
committee, and it is probably one Of
the most exhaustive studies OF the
money question ever undertaken.

USING THE TELEPHONE.

Have you ever mad occasion to use
the telephone in q hurry and upon
taking down the receiver found tina.
two parties-usually members OF the
fair sex-were busily engaged In ex-
changing bits Of gossip? And after
waiting patiently, or impatiently, as
the case may be, for what you con-
sidered a reasonable length OF time,
have you taken down the receiver
again and found that the pair were
not only still at it but were incensed
at the fact that "some one is evident
" trying to interrupt our conversa-
ton" It is safe bet that you have
been up against this proposition IT
you have ever had occasion to use
a telephone.
Gossipping over the telephone is q
deplorable practice. Telephones are
q modern business institution, wheth-
er they are in a public store or a pri-
vate residence. 1t makes no Differ
ence whether the line Is a separate
one or whether there are four or
more other parties on it. The line
should be kept clear when not &C
tually needed for some legitimate
purpose and 1t is doubtful If even
those who. are given to gossiping
would assert that their practice Is
legitimate one. At any minute OF the
day or might you may want to- put
In an urgent call tor doctor OF
aome one may have u message to
give you, and only q few minutes TO

q few minutes may be fatal But
few minutes would occasion few
kicks if that was as long as the Cos
Slippers kept line tied up: Occas-
ions are not rare when hne has
been kept busy for an hour.
That is most unfair to the public

MARTYR oR-WHAT?

Radical suffTagettes and opponents
of the militant methods being employ
ed by British women in their endeavor
to win what they call their rights, !"
are calling Miss Emily Dawson q
martyr to the cause. Miss Dawson
felt herself a martyr as she realized
she was dying from the injuries she
received when she jumped IN front or
a race horse belonging to the English
ruler and attempted to prevent It's
participation in the annual derby race.
Just wherein she is to be praised
for such an act is hard for the average
man or woman to see. What she
gained by her act is question. Just
what the ttcause" gained is still more
|of mystery. The suffragettes say
that she attracted attention to the
cause" and that her act of bravery
will win friends for it and aid them in
their battle against the oppression Of
man.
Conservative people the world over
are calling Miss DAWSON not martyr,
but misguided individual afflicted
with form Of insanity.
Women are going to get what they
want. but not until they want 1t. The
women Of the world as yet do not care
for the privilege Of voting, for as a
matter of fact that is all that the
equal rights" of the militant suf-
fragettes encompass. Whenever a
majority of the women of country, or
of a state for that matter, ask for the
right to exercise the ballot. they will
get it. The militants are attempting
to make it seem that all the worlds
women feel oppressed and are down.
trodden, when as matter of fact, the
majority Of women are content to let
the ballot and the nasty petty politics
which go with it, remain in the hands
of the male portion of the population.
The militants are not causing q
revolutfon-it is merely a crime wave.
They are not convincing sane minded
men of the desire of the ability Of
women to vote. On the contrary they
are furnishing some most conclusive
evidence to the opponents of equal suf-
frage, that women should not be al
lowed to vote.
The cause Of women suffrage is NOV
ing right along every day and the time
is not far distant when women will
have the right to vote If they want to.
1t will not be due to the militant suf-
|fragettes of England however. 1t will
be due to the efforts of real women
who are working towards the ballot as
a right, not as a concession. These
real women are being impeded more

HAVE NO ARGUMENT.

The Des Mo1nes papers that are &C.
cusing everyone not In favor OF the
capitol grounds purchase with jealousy
of Des Moines are simply calling at
tention to their narrow view point.
The idea that Gay one is jealous OF
Des Moines is ridiculous. People in
charge of the papers at the capital
ought not to have to resort to such
charges as jealousy, which is merely
q negative charge and has no force IN
convincing anyone that the opposition
is not based on facts. AS matter or
fact 1t seems that such a charge could
BIZ, made for but one purpose-to cover
up the fact that they have no logical
argument to support the act of the
recent legislature.
II there Is any good reason for pur-
chasing this ground around the capt.
toll, we have failed to sec it printed in
any paper, Not one publication has
undertaken to advance real reasons in
support of the act On the other hand
there are plenty of reasons against
such an enormous outlay. TO. begin
with it would be hard to conceive of
a way in which 100000 could be
spent that would do the people of the
whole state of Iowa, less good.
It would not add one cent to the
wealth Of the state.
It would not add one citizen to the
state unless we i'm ported some ground
keepers. &
It will be an endless expense to the
taxpayers to maintain.
It will use money in a way that is
not needed and keep the state for
years from accomplishing things that
are needed.
We need good roads built. We need
q legislature that is mentally resource
full enough to devise plans to build
them.
We need the water power of the
state developed. We can conserve our
coal supply by using water power.
We need legislature that is able
to take up such matters for the states
development, and work out a plan for
the state to do this work or that will
interest private capital to the extent
that it will be done under state super
vision. It is not a federal job, it is a
state duty.
We need agricultural courses in
every county, every year.
We need reclamation project in
continuous operation in Iowa-food
prevention is a part of this work. We
may not need it this year but floods are
sure to come and don't you forget it..

Marshalltown Times-Republican
The farms In the districts ov6rhowed
in Indiana and Ohio by the recent
foods are reported to have been vast
" fertilized with the deposits left by
the reoeding waters. Nothing ap-
preaching the remarkable growth of
vegetation along the Ohio river can
be- recalled by the oldest residents.
The flood probably added $40 an acre
to the value of the farms 1t covered.
But the cities destroyed, the destruc-
tion Of life marked great disaster.
And It is also to be considered that
every ounce Of fertilizer which Is push
ing the crops along the Ohio to m-
eQualed thrift came from some other
farm somewhere.
