Academic Branches Taught.

The academic branches also are taught
In this continuation school, but they are
taught in close relation to the Industrial
subjects. Arithmetic concerns the prob
lens of the shop. English consists of
practical instruction in necessary bust
ness forms: no attempt is made to teach
technical grammar. Geography and his
tory are taught from the commercial
standpoint. and local government is an
important subject.
The course is three Years. During the
first two years the teacher directs the
choice of the pupils, but for the last year
each boy is allowed to select his work
in the trade he wishes to learn. Time
Is about equally divided between indus
trial and academic branches
Educators are interested in the Lathrop
Industrial School, not because they be-
lieve in vocational training to the eX-
clusion of the fundamental subjects. bu;
because schools of this kind are designed
to fill the needs of Il large class of boys
and girls to whom sufficient attention
has not hitherto been paid: the children
whose tastes and aptitudes differ from
those presupposed by the usual school
curriculum. Work such as that done in
the I.athrop School promises to make
valuable citizens out of children WnO
might otherwise never find themselves.

Special School Organized for

There is school for disconnected

ing to information received at the United

'Lathrop Industrial School, has been
organized for the purpose OF educating
children over fourteen years old who
have reached the fifth grade and find
the work of the regular school distaste-
full
The school proceeds on the theory that
in many cases the distaste of these
children for school is due to the fact
that the ordinary studies are not adapted
to their particular needs. Such pupils
frequently appear backward" or lazy,
when in reality all they need is a differ
ent form of educational activity. Ac-

rHE PREpIcrroE PsovEn TRUE

6 Last fall. Immediately preceding elec-
ton, it was announced from Madison
with loud heralding of trumpets that
Governor McGoyern and his associate
members of the state taxing board
the secretary of state and state treas
urer-whose duty it is to levy the com
monwealth's annual tax, had RENTED
81, 000, 600 tax. By this was m. t
that the state treasury was so overflow.
ing with cash that it was possible and
permissible to take therefrom 81, OO0,-
900 and apply on the taxes that were
naturally due from the people.
Possibly the CENSOR readers will re-
member that we then expressed the be-
lief that it was political trick and a
sop to catch votes, and that the burden
would fall the heavier year following
when there was no election pending.
Now mark well the prediction. Secre-
tsry of State Donald, for publication,
recently said:
In addition to the amounts author
lied at The recent session of the legis-
isture, 1912, 900, 000,) it would be neces-
sary for him to make an addition to the
levy of 81, $3.50, 000, that part of last
years state tax that had been remit
ted TO the taxpayers by the act of the
governor. This will make the state
tax nearly 1000, 900 larger than it
would have been had there been no re-
mittances last year.

WHY 1T SUCCEEDS

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing
only.
For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is Readstown evidence of their
worth.

and got relief. / am GER, ainly glad to
recommend them. "
The above is not an isolated case.
Mr.. Hall is only one of many in this vi
einity who have gratefully endorsed
