Work for Money but
Stay in School

They do not allow working to inter-
fere with going TO school in Ham,
mond Ind. Special arrangements are
made whereby boys and girls may
work half a day in certain commercial
establishments and attend school the
balance of the day. Hammond is a
manufacturing community, where the
temptation to boys and girls is strong
to leave school and earn a living.
Superintendent McDaniels plan makes
Is possible for boys and girls to earn
money, remain in school. and also

The plan at Hammond is based on a
full realization of modern social and
industrial conditions. Superintendent

while there are certain general prin-
ciples underlying all education. each
community has it's own special prob
lens that are too often disregarded
in the making Of the schools Besides
the cooperative school and shop ar

are of value in determining choice

grade the teacher tests the childs
interest and ability In various forms
of elementary industrial work, so that
he may come to have some idea OF
future vocation. The school authori'
ties also maintain an employment bu-

Foreigners Are Interested
In American Education

Canadian educators are impressed
with the facilities for educational in
formation In the United States. Dr.
David Soloan, principal OF the Nova
Scotia Normal school. considers the
federal bureau Of education at WASH
ington one of the best and readiest
scources of information about the
schools of Canada.
DR.. Soloan Is not the first educator
who has paid tribute to the wisdom
of congress in providing central bu'
reau for the diffusion Of educational
information. but as an expert on ed
ucation his opinion deserves to be
quoted After speaking Of the history
of education in the United States as
"illustrious" and describing the part
the government, through its bureau OF
education, has played, he says: 1T
has saved uncaiculated millions to ed
vocational effort merely through its
punctual record Of each and every
educational enterprise, every attempt
ed reform, every individual Initiative.
1t has prevented duplication OF ex
pertinent, reported educational prog
ress in foreign countries, sifted sta
tistics. and from conflicting reports

ucation in America needed to be GER
tilted Of
Education is international. No mat
ter how local and national certain OF
it's problems may be, the funda-
mentals of education are identical in
all civilized countries; and it is sure
ly worth knowing that in this inter-
national exchange of ideas the United
States bears no small part.

Opinion Of High Court

No matter how much loss person
suffers because letter carrier delays
delivery of mail, policeman fails to
walk his beat, a fireman neglects an
alarm or a water company omits to IN
stall fire plugs, the sufferer cannot re-
cover damages.
Such is the statement of Justice La
mar of the Supreme court in an Off
cial opinion filed the other day among
the records Of the court.
This utterance was made in arriv-
ing at the conclusion that an individ-
ual inhabitant of city cannot sue
water company for failure to install
plugs and mains 1t had contracted
with a city to install. The case arose
in Spartansburg, 8. c. The opinion is
contrary to the law in Kentucky,

PROUD OF HER LITTLE SON
Eskimo Mother Cared Little for
Obedience, but Much for Promis-
Ina Qualities In Her Boy.

There il no such thing as punish
ment in an Eskimo household, writes
DR.. s. X Hutton in Among the Eski-
mos OF Labrador" And by way OF H.
lrstration he tells of small boy
whom he met one day clambering
down among the rocks and hummocks
that strewed the beach, In open de-
fiance of parental commands.
He was sturdy little fellow, and
quite a baby. judged him to be
about two years old, certainly not
more than three, but as he was clad
in the dignity Of ridiculous little trou-
sers, l must speak Of him as a boy.
He seemed to have escaped from his
mother, and to making for the beach
on an adventure CT his own; and when
I looked toward the line of houses, I
saw a young woman standing at one
OF the doors and calling to him.
"Kaigit! kaigit!" (Come backD she
shouted
The child took no notice at all.
"Kaigit, ernera!" (Come back, my
sonD cried the mother.
This time the child looked round.
but he went steadily on. barking his
little knees against the sharp rock
points, and tumbling into holes in his
hurry. MIA! MAJ" he screamed.
l half expected the mother to come
and fetch him after that, for Mai is
anything but polite; it was the equal
of very defiant "Sha'n't" that the
child shouted at his mother. She took
no notice; she wac beaten and ac-
cepted the situation, and turned back
into the house to go on with her
work.
Meanwhile / was interested in the
doings of the small Eskimo boy; there
was some grim purpose in his little
mind, and l stayed to see the finish
of the play He scrambled on until
he came to a dog that lay stunning
itself behind a stone. Very likely 1t
was one of his fathers sledge dogs
against which he had grievance, for
he caught it fearlessly by the scruff
of the neck and beat II with his tiny
fists. The dog, great, powerful brute,
could have eaten the boy whole; but
It made no resistance, simply cover
ing and whining under the little pat
ting blows. Having fulfilled his pur-
pose, the boy administered a last
parting smack, and started on his
Journey homeward.
| followed the little fellow to his
home. and found his mother busily
brushing the snow of him, and sm'l-
ing with pride in her hardy little son.
He was disobedient, but what cared
she? He was growing strong and
fearless; some day he would be able
to drive a team of dogs and paddle a
kaiak. and hunt the deer and seals
and walrus. He was proper Eskimo
boy.-Youth's Companion.
