boys five hours of manual training,
or as much thereof as they desire,
daily. This will include work in
the shops and the storing up of
knowledge that will enable them to
secure positions the moment they
leave school.
All the pupils will not enter
college. All will not take book
keeping or stenographic courses.
Many will become electricians,
carpenters and mechanics. They
have been neglected in the past.
They have not been given the
knowledge they will need when
they leave school. They have been
given the theoretical instead of the
practical work. 1t is for this reason
that vocational education is being
advocated all over the country

before the judge and fined IS and
costs. In this count ry he would
have sued the compa ny for about
IS, 900.

To equip the pupils with a
practical knowledge of the everyday
things of life, to the end that when
they are compelled to get out in
the world and shift for themselves
they will not be handicapped--this
is the aim of the modern school
system of today.
This is the answer R. E. Den
field, superintendent of the Duluth
schools, gave when he was asked
concerning the vocational guidance
movement that is being taken up
all over the United States.
A plan is being fostered in Du-
luth (its Inauguration will depend
on the viewpoint taken by the
parents, to devote half the school
day to manual training, domestic
science and the many other practical
departments of school life. The
manual training will include trips
to the shops, where the youngsters
will be given a chance to work
under skilled guidance and where
they will pick up the practical
knowledge that can only be secured
through actual contact and on a
dollars and cents basis.
If this plan meets with the ap-
prevail of the parents, all pupils
who desire to receive practical in
struction will be given this OPP
portunity.
French, Latin, German, physics
and the like are all very we'll in
their way, the opinion of Mr.. Den
field, but they will not give young
man the means of stepping from
school into the shop and earn a
wage that will properly provide
him with food and clothes. These
branches are more for the pupils
who intend to carry their studies to

higher degree of perfection.
Bread and butter" said Mr..
Denfeld, should be the comparison
used to determine the valuation of
an education. If the school does
not fit the pupil so that he will
have to unlearn all the knowledge
he stored up during his school
years before he can get down to a
level where he can really become of
value to his employer, then that
school is not a success. The
methods employed are wrong. Edu-
Gators are beginning to realize this
and are seeking to correct them.
Vocational education means
giving the pupil the instruction
that will best fit him to fight life
battle. We may decide to give the

town grasp him by the hand and
tell him what bright prospects the
town has. Don't stand up like a

clothing store and wear long faces
with gloomy looks that see only
the dark side of things. Above
all. don't go whining around and
make shadow on the bluest sky.

THIS year every citizen should
take deep interest in the welfare
of the city. If you sincerely be-
lieve that conditions are prevalent
that need changing, don't be afraid
to start something. This year the
very best effort that is in every
citizen should assert itself to the
end that this towns advancement
is sure and safe. The fellow who
kicks is often the man who does
his community the real service.
There is a difference between a
crouch and a good healthy kicker.

Wonderful Depot in Paris Removed to
Larger Quarters-100,O00 Pieces
Await Owners.

Paris.-The wonderful depot of lost
articles, which for thirty years had
it's temporary headquarters at the Pre-
lecture Of Police, is about to be re-
moved to the Caserne de la Cite, with
it's stocks of 100000 heterogeneous arti-
cles. According to these figures, one
out of thirty adult Parisians loses
something every day, and the ponce
depot was really growing too small.
There is story of one particularly
oblivious lady who lost the same UNI
brella twenty-three times. She went
twenty-third time she was too much
ashamed to redeem it. However, a
few days later she thought she would
just go out of curiosity and see if her
umbrella was there. Sure enough 1t
was, and as all the employees by that
time knew her, one of them said to
her with a smile: Madame, will you
not come and take your UMBRELLA
She had to take it the twenty-thlrd
time, even against her desire. we
are not told how many times she lost
it after that
Other stories which the police have
to tell are scarcely less amusing.
Loads of lost articles find their way
to the depot after some great celeDra-
ton. The day after the departure OF
the king of Spain the most astounding
finds were made. The depot received
two swords with damask blades and
handles of solid gold, neck chain OF

Arkansan Appeals to U. S. Court
in Breach of Promise Case.
Girl Given Verdict of 100000 by Jury
That Was Out Thirty Minutes In
Federal Court at Little
Rock, Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark.-The Supreme
court of the United States is to have
the unusual experience of reviewing a
breach of promise case which, in the
federal circuit court here, was com
pared to the play "Everywoman," by
the attorney for the plaintiff.
William G. Faucette has appealed to
that tribunal the judgment of 100000

Uses to marry her.
Miss Anderson told the jury that
Faucette came into her life when she
was but fifteen years old. At that
time he frequently met her as she
left her mothers boarding house on
errands and always talked to her
complimenting her beauty and com
nenting on what fine clothing would
do for her.
Jan. 1, 1911, she testified, she went
to his Office at his invitation. Soon
after that, she told the jury, he sent
her to Central college at Conway,
Ark, to fit her to become his wife.
She said that there was not any time
