Good Reason for
Objections Says
J. P. Schumacher
Former Redwood Student Sees Why
Certain Employers Don't Want
High School Boys
SCHOOLS TO TRAIN MINDS
Students Should Not Be Expected To
Be Finished Specialists; Must
Learn Own Value

]. P. Schumacher, formerly North
Redwood boy and student at the
Redwood Falls high school, and now
Superintendent of Schools at North
st. Paul, writes the following strong
reply to the school discussion started
by Mr.. Hills radical statement re-
garding the worthlessness of the
school of today.
To the Editor of the Dispatch
Mr.. z. Reiff and Mr.. W. r. Cockey,
who had letters in the Mail Bag, are
both managers of manufacturing es-
adjustments. Both have indicated that
for their business they would rather
have boys from the grade schools Of
Europe than high school graduates of
America.
/ can readily see how these boys
from Europe might suit their purpose
better than would our high school
graduates. Our graduates are likely
to be less meek and docile. They are
less likely to be content with routine
duties and minimum wages. Instead
Of doing their work automatically,
they will often want to know the rea-
son why. They may even venture to
make suggestions, and of course that
is q nuisance. They are apt to be alert,
t,ambitious, inquisitive, imaginative and
impatient for results. or advance
ment. For these very reason they
will be looked upon with disfavor by
some employers. But notice, these
same qualities, which make them APP
pear less desirable to some employers,
are the very quality that hold out the
greatest promise Of usefulness and ac-
complishment to the boys themselves.

all kinds of repair work, and with a
late type Of turning lathe they will
be able to meet the demands Of their
trade, no matter what it is. They
will carry full line Of accessories

+. 6. Kumm Has
Eye Badly Injured
Eyeball Penetrated by Steel Silver
Was Removed; Patient Is
Now Recovering

F. G.. Kumm sustained severe in
jury to his eye while at work in his
smithy last Tuesday. A. piece of steel
penetrated the eyeball, injuring the
membranes and pupil to such an ex-
tent that it was found necessary to
remove the eye.
Accompanied by his wife, Mr.. Kumm
went to Mankato where the operation
was performed by specialist. Latest
reports state that Mr.. Kumm is re-
covering very well from the shock
and the effects of the operation. So
far the sight of the uninjured eye
has not been seriously effected and
physicians believe it will not be.

HALE AND HEARTY AT 1O4
John Durant, Sailor Boy Of Ninety
Years Ago, Celebrates His
Birthday.

London.-John Durant entered the
British navy years ago. He was four
teen then. but he is still enjoying life
at Weybridge, where he entered upon
his one hundred and fifth year.
During the winter he spends most
of the time in his bedroom, but in the
summer he walks abroad for consid-
cradle distances. He is a very hearty
eater and smokes three ounces Of to-
bacco regularly every week. Special
fare was provided for HIS delectation
to mark the great occasion of his one
hundred and fourth birthday.
When the news came that Franklin
was lost in the Arctic circle in 1885
Durant volunteered for the search ex-
petition, but he did not sail on the IL
fated Terror; ne withdrew and went
to the West Indies instead. In 1s42
he entered the service of the South
Metropolitan Gas company as a barge
man, and after 40 years of work re-
tired on a pension, which he has now
enjoyed for 80 years.
