MILLIONS FOR PUPILS
CONGRESS ASKED FOR 100000
FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING.
Commission on National Aid Calls
Trade School Greatest Need
of the Nation.

Washington, June 6.-Urging an an
nual appropriation of 100000 to the
states for promoting learning in the
trades and agriculture, the commission
on national aid to vocational educa-
ton, in report to congress Thursday
declares vocational training is the ma
tion's greatest need"
The commission recommended that
the advantages of the system be re-
stricted to persons more than fourteen
years old and asserted that the Ameri-
can people scarcely had begun the
work of providing for the practical
education of millions Of our produc-
tive workers."
The report set forth that 1,o00,000
youths must be provided by educa-
tional institutions to cover the yearly
mortality and superannuation of work
ers; that vocational education was re-
quired to develop intelligent farming,
to prevent waste of human labor, to
provide substitute for the old sys-
temlof apprenticeship, to increase the
wage earning power of the individual
and Offset the increased cost of living.
"Our national prosperity is at
stake" said the report. I'VE have be-
come great Industrial, as well as a
great agricultural. nation. Each year
shows smaller percentage of our peo-
pie on the farms and a greater in the
city.
"Our future will depend more and
more on the success of our industrial
life, as well as upon the volume and
quality Of our agricultural products.
Development our foreign trade is com.
ing to depend upon our ability to com
pete with foreign nations In the prod
ucts of skilled labor.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
GET SALARY RAISE
GENERAL INCREASE IN PAY REC
OMMENDED BY EDUCATORS
TO TEACHERS.
STATE AWARDS CONTRACTS
State Awards Contracts for Over Half
Million Dollars Road Work.
Toledo Teachers Get In
creased Salary.

Youngstown. A general increase
in salary for 1856 Youngstown school
teachers was recommended by the
board of education. The decision
was .made, according to members Of
the board, because of the agitation
among Cleveland school teachers, off,
cials seeking to ward off similar at
tempts here.
Board principal and high school
teachers will profit by the increase
from 500 to 5000 year, while under
the new schedule the maximum for
grade teachers will be $1,000 a year.

receive from $500 to $1,000 year.

Commission Considering Sites.

The state agricultural commission is,
considering three sites believed to bel
available for conversion into a state
forest and bird reservation. One site
includes about 5000 acres along the
Scioto river, starting just below Chill
licothe, Ross county, and extending
southwark almost to Portsmouth, Scio-
to county. This territory is hilly, val
ueless from an agricultural viewpoint
and is believed to be devoid of miner
ais. The ownership of considerable
portion of this region has probably re-
verted to the state by reason of delin-
quent taxes and it is thought that the
rest of the property can be purchased
by the state at not more than 81 an
acre. Another site under considera-
tion is located in Washington, Monroe,
Noble and Morgan counties. The third
site is situated in Hooking, Athens,
Vinton and Meigs counties.

Oil for Paint.

For mixing with paint linseed oil
is the one which is most commonly
used as an ingredient. Other oils
might be tried and the best way to
test their relative worth is to mix
only small quantity of paint and
test the result. Linseed oil, when
pure, is excellent. since it oxidizes and
becomes thick on exposure to the air.
1t may be considered the best of all
oils for use in paint, putty and other
similar substances.
