college. ] mean this: The conser
+, vative, cultural colleges, such as
Amherst, Yale and Princeton will
not admit a high school graduate
/ if, say, four of the sixteen credits
necessary for high school diploma
are credits made in vocational
subject such as agriculture, manuel
training or domestic science. This
is a very regretable state Of affairs
and has much of injustice in it to
the boy and girl who enters high
school. and. having no hope Of 60
ing on to college. elects to take, say
for the girl, domestic science. If,
in the latter part of the four year
preparatory course, the way opens
for this girl to go to some college
perhaps her credits made in domes-
tic science will not be accepted by
the college, in the particular de-
partment she wishes to enter and so
a strong, capable student will be
barred from preparation for the
work she wishes and will lose per-
haps her only opportunity for high
or PREPARATION
The injustice of this ruling Of the
college against vocational work
will, ! think, soon become appar-
ent to the colleges themselves. In
fact, Oregon University, Chicago
University and several other west
crn schools are beginning to accept
a certain number of vocational
credits. In time the other schools
will do this too.
But this fact doesn't lessen the
difficulty the l,ig1, school faces now
i'll its effort to prepare its students
to meet college entrance require
ments and to give them practical
training for work immediately up
on leaving school Hence the high
school authorities request the par
ents to cooperate in the selection of
the high school course for the STU
dent. 1t is important that the pu
|pil and parent decide immediately
whether college preparatory orr
vocational course be chosen. If
there is doubt as to which, it would
be wise to choose college prepare
tory. Since a given preparation
will not prepare for all colleges or
for all courses in the same college,
it is well, whenever possible. to,
'choose what college will be attended
and what course will be pursued
when the pupil enters high school,
This wise planning on the part of !
parents, teachers and students is
the only way to prevent complica
tons arising when the student is !
ready to enter college. The STU
dent may ascertain the specific en-
trance requirements of various col ;
leges by inquiring at the office Of,
the superintendent.
Valley City high school is an ac-
Icredited school. Her courses pre-
pare the student for any course in
amy college in the country. How
ever many colleges accept only
such work as is preparatory to the
particular department the applicant
wishes to enter. In other words, |
they do not accept vocational ere
dts for classical course.
Let lis hope that it will not be
long before all colleges will open
their doors to all high school grad
yates, whether tllier work has been
vocational or college preparatory!
In the meantime, NAV we have the
earnest cooperation of everv par
ent in the choosing of the child's
course, so as little harm as possible
NAV result from this discrimination
against vocational work BY some
colleges:

EFFECTIVE FRIDAY
New Parcel Post Ruling Will
Include Shipments to
Chicago.

That local merchants will be able
to send merchandise up to 20 pounds
in weight to Chicago under the new
parcel post regulations in effect FRI
day, was the statement made today
by Postmaster Macdonald.
While Chicago lies outside of the
$50 mile radius it is nevertheless in
Guided in the section bordering the
zone and for that reason parcels may
be sent TO and from that place. The
same ruling will, of course, apply to
Davenport and Moline also.

weight limit from II to 20 pounds, was
received with enthusiasm by mer

will become more extensive as the

valued at not more than S14 and 20

at more than s14.

Senator Gronna sought to increase
the rate on horses and mules, but this
was rejected 80 to 40 Senator Thorn
Ton still voted with the minority. Sen

which was rejected.

bacco manufactures was asserted in
the senate yesterday by Senator
of Nebraska, in discussing
the tobacco schedule of the tariff bill.
Announcing that he intended later
TO press his amendments to the tariff
bill which would place a graduated
income tax on tobacco production,
Senator Hitchcock, who bolted the
democratic party caucus on the tariff.
said he also intended TO discuss the
propriety of that caucus in restrain
ing its members from supporting his
amendment.
Il propose to show" the senator
said, that four great concerns, divid-
ed by the decree of the supreme court,
now owned by the same stockholders
and operating in close accord, exer-
else a greater monopoly in tobacco
trade than ever before"
Reading from statistics furnished
by the secretary of the treasury he de-
clared that these four concerns manu-
featured last year II 3-5 per cent of
all tobacco manufactured in the Unit
ed States.
IF the United States senate is in
earnest" he added, lit ought not TO
permit any rule of a party caucus to
restrain a senator from voting for a
measure that would put q stop to the
defiance of a judicial decree and re
store e condition of competition in the
world OF tobacco manufacturers"
The tobacco schedule was approved
by the senate without amendment, the
metal schedule was completed with
the exception OF some paragraphs and

Is Statement.
RAPS LIVING CONDITIONS

Rock Island has 1t on Baltimore so
far as living conditions are concerned
in so many ways that a comparison
between the two cities is a joke" de-
clared B. F. Knox, who returned last
evening in company with Fred Empke
and Frank Wick from that city where
the three were in attendance at the
annual convention of the order Of
Eagles.
while the new side Of Baltimore
contains some beautiful residences
and some excellent modern business
buildings, the city is in the main far
behind any western city in other re-
spects.
Miserable novels, cobble streets
and the worst possible sewer condi-
lions prevail in most of the city. In
stead Of underground sewer connec-
lions to which we OF the west are &C
customed, the people dump their dirty
water into a drain which carries 1t TO
the streets and there it is permitted
10 run down alongside of the curb,
frequently for blocks, until it can be
carried away underground.
PEOPLE ARE SLOW.
"Then, too, the people themselves
are not nearly so energetic as the
people of the west. Everybody moves
rs II they had all the time in the
world at their disposal.
you enter a store or cafe and the
attendants take plenty of time for de-
liberation before they finally deci1s
that probably you might wish some
thing AS far as that is concerned,
though. it really appears to the strang-
er as II they are far more interested
IN the success of the business than
the proprietor himself He you will
generally find carelessly perusing a
newspaper off in some corner as If he
had nothing else in the world to do.
SLOWLY AWAKENING.
due to the influx of westerners
rather than to any particular effort
on the part Of the citizens themselves,
believe, the city is slowly awakening
from it's lethargy and will probably
some day assume the rank and energy
betting a place of it's size and popula-
ton. Extensive improvements are be-

THE best thing about the city is
the courtesy OF the people. The citi.
sens joined with the local order OF

It was not because of any lack Of ef-

ful. II was estimated that in the

ripple. do look for a change in the
national body within the next few
years, however. 1t is said that some
dissatisfaction is being caused by the
attempt of Ohio. California and a few
other states to control the annual con
