in the lower peninsula is growing rap

TRADE SCHOOLS

Norwich has reason to be partic- ulsrly interested in the effort to se- cure trade school for this city It ts not an institution which is going se ae handed to us gratis, but if Is one which cannot help being of particular value to young people in learning trade. It fills in an import ant time between the conclusion of the grammar school days and the time for taking up daily employment in a most valuable and profitable manner F&eakttee of high order are pro- vided for those who are seeking a higher education but those who are in clined in other directions and desire instructions in the various trades are left to the cold road of experience. It ts the trade school which opens up the vocational training and provides the advantages in that direction in keeping with the opportunities pro- vided for those enthusiastically inclired.
 The trade school has passed the stage of experiment. The experience which Connecticut cities have had with them is highly pleasing. They have demonstrated their worth in many directions. been the means of overcoming much indecision as to the direction in which ones efforts should 6s turned to best advantage, and de- veioped liberal and important edu- cation in the various lines undertaken. It is direct method of reaching many and starting them in the proper di- rsctfon at a time which will be of i'm r1erAse value to the youth as well as the employer later on.

A VALUABLE TEST.

The situation which is caused by i the unemployed who figure in that class because of circumstances over which they have no control rather than by choice, calls for sober and serious consideration. They are to be easily determined from the preferentially idle by applying the test which is cohtain- ed in a legitimate offer of work. It lis this which the governor of New York state realizes when he proposes to send them to the farms of the state to meet the double need of supplying work to the unemployed and of con- tributing to the demand for labor on the farm and overcoming the existence of the abandoned farm. That 1t is a task which faces many difficulties can not be overlooked. SkiIlful tradesmen can be utterly useless on the farm, even though willing to accept such an offer of work. Others will jump at the opportunity and make good from the start, while dependent families and dislike for the country will oper- ate to cause others to wait for some thing else to turn up.
 The experiment is one which is go- ing to be followed closely. It is to be hoped that New York's governor can make a success of it.. The farming territory of the states of the east is in need of more help and greater cul- tiYation. We are getting from it only a portion of what we should. If the sending of the unemployed to the country can be made to do what is expected of it. there will be furnished one of the best object lessons possible in dealing with the immigrant ques- tion as it exists in the large centers

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
A Persistent Hunger.

One of the most persistent hungers of the raco has been the hunger for heaven.
 The more highly developed the per- sonality, the more removed it is from animality, and the more it is given to thought to letters. to art or to re- ision, the more 1t rebels against the ideas of dropping at last back into the dust.
 Over and over again the lack of sub stantial proof of immortality is brought forward; mankind stubbornly insists on dreaming of life continued, and on believing it's dreams and doubtins it's arguments.
 Nearly all religions have fed this craving by declaring some sort of heaven wherein the souls of all men, who meet the religious requirements are to abide
 Even where this hope has been "sicklied eer with the pale east of thought and philosophy or reasoning has set it aside as without enough Foundation, men have still displayed g strong taste for living forever and a revolt against ths idea of extinction.
 The artist, the author, the states man, the king, the millionaire seek that other heaven, the immortality of books statues and monuments The pyramid and ebelisk in Egypt. the palisseium in RaH7e, spring from the same longing that is found in the au- thor who hopes to erect 8 il,sayInen mt more lasting than brass.

REFORM NEEDED.

With the many instances of great delays which are constantly appearing in the courts of the country there Is nothing strange in the demand which is being made for the simplificatiOn of legal procedure. Rather is it to be wondered at that such demands have not been undertaken with greater per sistency before The recent decision in the case involving the patent rights concerning a photogra phic film, which fight has been waged in the courts for a period of twenty-seven years, dur ing which time the inventor has pass ed away without obtaining the knowl- edge to say nothing of the financial benefit that his claim has been upheld, is only one of many which show the need of a change.
 Reasonable time for the proper un- tangling of such questions must be taken but as the New York Evening Post well says such endless drawing out of the case, such intolerable piled up obstacles and difficulties in it's prosecution as are actually experienced in instance after instance, cannot be necessitated by the power of things. It must be within the power of law making man to devise a method of procedure by which a reasonable claim can be brought to a decisive test in a reasonable time"
 Such is applicable to criminal as well as civil procedure. The need for a change it so urgent as to call for no extensive campaign in its behalf. It should be obtained without the neces- sity of further exhibitions of this kind
