things and although the Caledonian
has accused me OF all the capital
sins, it has never accused me of be-
ing q politician.
1t is a good thing to bring light
on every public subject, and this
reminds me of the negro who was
surprised in the woods by great
storm. He went under a tree. and
he said: God, please give us more
light and less noise;" this is the sit
uatiOn of Vermont about the New
England Telephone Co.; we want
less noise, less attacks and more
light.

The Canal Tolls Again.

Congressman Lodge of Massachu-
sets, ranking republican member of
the committee on foreign relations
brought much new light on the canal
tolls dispute in the mastery speech
he made before the senate last We'd
nesday. He maintained that the
United States has the legal right to
exempt all its shipping from paying
tolls but declared that "a decent re-
spect to the opinions of mankind"
and the "distrust and in some cases
dislike" with which the United States
is regarded abroad, demand prompt
repeal of the exemption clause of
the act Here are a few excerpts
from his address,
When the year 1909 opened, the
United States occupied a higher and
stronger position among the nations
OF the earth than at any period in
our HISTORY
A world Power we had been for many
long years, but we had at last be-
come a world power in the finer sense
a Power whose active participation
and benefcent influence were recog-
nized and desired by other nations
in those great questions which con-
cerned the welfare and happiness of
all mankind. This great position
and this commanding influence have
been largely lost.
q
1t would be an obvious improperly
to point out the specific conditions
of our present relations with the var
ious nations, both in the Old World
and in the New; it is enough to note
the fact that we are regarded by
other nations with distrust and in
some cases dislike.
Rightly or wrongly, they have
come to believe that we are not to
be trusted that we make our inter-
national relations the sport of poll
tics and treat them as if they were
in no wise different from questions
OF domestic legislation. This has
not been in accord with our history
or our tradition. Only once have we
abrogated a treaty, and then actual
II MOI declared war existed. We
have scrupulously observed our in
ternational agreements, and where
differences have arisen we have set
tied them not with the high hand OF
power, but by negotiation and arbi-
tration.

Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1914-05-07

In October, the General Education
Board generously invited one OF us
from each of the Southern states to
20 to New York City, at their ex-
pense, in order to study its school sys-
tenn and see what lessons we could
bring back for our own states. Two
schools which we visited would espe-
cially interest you, the Washington
Irving High School for girls and the
Stuyvesant High School for boys.
The Washington Irving High School
was built to hold 5000 girls; but when
1t was opened with its attractive
courses, 6, 100 girls applied. The school
had to be divided into morning sec
ton, an afternoon section, and a night
school, Even then about 1900 girls
had to be turned away.
There are three ideals. Every girl
must leave there with healthy body.
To that end, much stress is laid on
gymnastic training, and there is an
effort to free the girls from that nerv-
Gus strain and worry which / find In
inspecting many Tennessee schools,
I leave it to the mothers who may
read this article to decide whether
girls should not be free from this
strain during this period OF budding
womanhood. The school had a general
air of joyousness and easy freedom
which was surprising in a body OF
1880 pupils, Much attention was given
to singing. One did not wonder that
the girls were happy-hearted. Do you
wonder that there were surprisingly
few who wore glasses? Take trip
to your town school and see the mum
Der of sallow-faced, stoop-shouldered,
anemic girls wearing glasses and hav'
ing a general air of strain. My friend
would it not be wise for US to make
this the first plank in our platform
for girls education, that they shall
60 from school with stronger bodies!
Will you not advocate in your com
munity that we must put physical cul
ture into our Tennessee high schools
A second ideal was, that the girls
must be prepared for wifehood and
motherhood. Strong courses in cook
ing and sewing were given. We wen
into one room fitted up like laundry
What would some people say to that
Guess their textbooks in sewing? The
Delineator and Vogue. There Is
store in the school where girls may
sell their embroidery to ladies who
wish to pay high prices for hand
work. In that way the girls can ado
to their pin-money. There were some
rooms in the school fitted up like
model New York fat, and each cir
had to take her turn in planning hov
to furnish those rooms artisticall,
and economically. Guess what prob
lens their mathematics taught? Sup
pose your husband is making $1,20
year, show how much you can spen'
for food, rent, clothes, amusements

insurance and savings for old age"
You should have seen how happily
those girls were sharpening their pen
ellis and plotting against that lover
who was to come some day Do you
believe in this practical training? Our
progressive state superintendent be-
lieves in such education and, under the
law, can give money to aid county
high schools which give such training.
Our normals and the state university
at Knoxville are training teachers to
give vocational work for girls and
boys-for girls, in cooking and sew
ing and sanitation; for boys, in agri-
culture and manual training.
A third ideal was, that every girl
must be taught some trade-millinery,
bookbinding, typesetting, library train
ing, laundry, merchandising, bookkeep-
ing, stenography, etc. They reasoned
this way This girl may marry a
good husband, but suppose she be left
a widow with children to support?
Then she should be taught how to
support herself"
The equipment Of this school.was un-
usually modern. 1t contained the
alter, seating 1900 people; a. seven
room furnished apartment for home
economics classes, a model banking
institution for business students, a
garment factory of many sewing rooms
furnished with power machinery, a
bookbinding plant, miniature zoo for
the study of animal life, an imitation
department store for girls learning
business methods, and roof garden
conservatory filled with growing plants
for the botanical classes. There
were basketball courts, gymnasiums,
shower-baths, and lunch rooms.
When we came out of that building,
bewildered by all that wonderful
equipment, | looked up at that beau
tiful nine-story schoolhouse and
thought of the millions New York
spends on its education. Then |
thought of those backward counties in
Tennessee, thirty odd still left out of
the ninets-six, thirty which do not
have county high schools yet, and
| wondered how long it would be bexore
those thirty can be convinced how
they are handicapping their children

debted to our many friends here
but we are alec indebted to the
Nashville Banner for its news

and he is out of danger.
Very respectfully,
Mr.. and MRS. JOHN A. HARRIS.

into furniture. We ship the raw ma
terials to them. They manufacture
them and ship them back We pay

We are poor. Why? Because they

hard for fathers and mothers. what
about the children? The next genera
ton will probably see harder strug-
gle for existence. Demagogues Will
blame 1t on the trusts and the rail-
roads, of course; but they will prob
ably be very little to blame, because
the government Is watching them
more closely every year. The main
causes will be (D the increasing pop
ulation doubling the eaters when the
acres on which the food is raised
never can double; (2) the fact that we
are exhausting our forests, our mines
and our soil so that the next genera
ton will be poorer There is only one
remedy-a bread-and-butter education
which will make our children able to
handle skilfully the remainder OF our
rich forests and mines which we have
not thrown away.
Throwing Away Our Resources.
The United States has only 5 per
cent of the worlds population, but we
produce rs per cent of the worlds
gold, 33 per cent of its iron, AZ per
cent of its steel, 81 per cent of its
petroleum, IS per cent of its copper.
But these are all raw materials, and
when they have once been dug from
the earth they can not be replaced.
We are just that much poorer. Here
is the great trouble. We are shipping
these materials in large quantities to
Europe because we do not have skilled
labor to devlop them. Europe refnes
these materials through her skilled
labor and gets rich from our raw ma
terial, which we should be keeping al
home.
Practical Education In Europe.
Where does Europe get this skilled
labor? Through her trade high schools
Take, for instance, at Munich. The
schools give practical training fol
