Waterloo Democrat: DR.. Charles G.
Mccarthy, member Of the faculty of
the University Of Wisconsin and direct
or of the state reference library, has
Just returned from a two months tour
of Great Britain and the continent.
He made statement on his return con-
corning the English view of our new
tariff law which will startle those
who have accused tariff reforlners of
desiring to play into the hands of the
manufacturers Of foreign countries.
DR.. Mccarthy says: 1.-The American
tariff law is not hailed with joy in
England. There is fear in England
that the tariff law will build up Amer
lean shipping and that with the reviv
al Of the shipping industry American
vessels will go into the world markets
with products of the United States.
This is more likely because American
vessels can now bring something back.
! heard no other idea expressed on the
other side. There does not seem to be
any feeling that the new tariff will
make it possible to dump a lot of goods
over here.
Oconto Enterprise: Aldrich excori
ated the Wilson Currency reform bill
and says that it is not desired by the
people. The people, in this case, it is
suspected, is Me and uncle Joe.
Madison Democrat: Everybody who
is saying anything about Lieutenant
Governor Glynn's succession to the
governorship of New York is saying
good things of him. When he was
comptroller of the state Hughes was
governor and counted on Glynn for
very helpful support.
Milwaukee Free Press: While cleo
ton forecasts are always uncertain it
does look AS if the combination of forces
for better government in New York
was such as Tammany cannot hope
successfully to meet.

Vocational Training in Schools.

The Milwaukee journal; Vocational
training took IL step in new direction
in Wisconsin last summer Through the
initiative of the manual training stu
dents in the Waukesha High school,
says the November Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Sixteen of the students or
ganized themselves into CO. operative
company and turned the manual train
ing rooms of the high school into a
manufacturing plant during the sum
mer vacation. The plan was originated
and carried out by the students under
the advisory supervision of the city
superintendent of schools They furn
ished their own materials and paid rent
for the use of the manual training
quarters. Their training thus became
not only self supporting, but yielded II
small profit for the students. The
work carried on consisted in building
furniture along mission lines, doing odd
jobs as carpenters, and taking contracts
to build sheds chicken coops, farm
gates, and other small structures.
