training paid them an average or
$954.00 a year; those girls doing
work in the shirt factories picked
up in the shops and factories
themselves received a yearly ave-
rage of only 1927 90. The trail-
ing here represents over SoUO.o9
a wear i'm income. At five per
cent. this is, the same as interest
on an investment Of $l2,OOO.00.
Every day ome Of these girls
spent in the vocational school
was indeed worth all Of ten dol
lars to her. Can there be any
question that vocational education
does Dot pay?
Not only does vocational edu-
cation provide for doing work
that brings in vastly more money
in the long run, but it enables one
to find out what he is best fitted
for and to choose what he really
wants and can do By recent
figures from St. Louis, based
upon over 400 children who
left school as soon as they could
get working papers, ninety per
cent. went into purely unskilled
work, seven per cent. into low
grade skilled vocations, and
three per cent. into skilled voca'
tions. Of the ninety per cent.
who went into unskilled voca-
tons, seventy per cent. did work
that was simply fetching and
: carrying in some form-blind al"
ley occupations, which lead no.
where. Those who are unframed
, for any particular kind Of work
must take what they can get.
Those who spend two years in
the vocational school for boys, or
the Trade School for Girls, IN
! New York City Immediately get
good positions as helpers or ap-
prentices in the vacations OF
their choice at much better
wages than those who have had
no such training. They also adj
vance rapidly in the work. The
work in the schools of this kind
is Of such variety that it gives
the boy and girl chance to try
out various kinds Of work and to
find for what they are best fitted
With good vocational education
courses in the public schools no
bow or girls need become mis-
fl lin the worlds work.-Taken

HABIT OF SAVING.

No young man starting out for
himself being dependent upon
his own exertions can afford un-
necessary expenses. He must
deny himself extras or always
remain poor. Even a five cent
cigar each day will amount to
$18.25 in one year; and one who
saves that sum will lbe much
ahead Of the one who spends it.
And the habit Of saving will be
worth everything. If he saves
$1S.25 each year, only putting
it at six per cent. simple inter
est, it would in twenty years
amount to $3.50. So much for one
little trife Of indulgence. He
who would in a few years be in
dependent, and not envy the
"capitalist" must start right

THE OLD MAN.

Be kind to your daddy, O

now sluggish and cold; intent on
your pleasures, you don't see the
truth, which is that your daddy's
growing old. All, once he could
whip forty bushels Of snakes, but
now he is spawned and lame;
his joints are all rusty and tor
tured with aches, weary and
worn in his frame. He tolled
and he shaved like a government
mule to see that his kids had a
chance; he fed them and clothed
them and sent them to school, re-
joiced when marked their ad-
vance. The landscape is moist
with the pillows Of sweet, he
cheerfully shed as he toiled, to
bring up his children and keep
them out Of debt, and see that the
home kettle boiled. He dressed
in old buds that Mary and Jake
might bloom like the rose in
June, and often when you swal-
lowed your porterhouse steak.

Education of this kind is an i'll
vestment, and not an expense.
With it the worker may go on
and ON from one level to a high.
er; without it he seen reaches his
limit. My good friend Willis
worked in a coal mine. He had
all Of the personal qualities OF
leadership. He was soon marked
as a man for advancement and
was later considered as good
man for pitt boss in large mine.
But it was soon shown that he
did not have the mathematics
necessary for some parts OF the
work. He had left school IN the
fifth grade with no vocational
school work whatever.
Today in the United States,
there are over 100000 boys
and girls between fourteen ana
sixteen years Of age who are out
of school and at work. TO stop
school without any vocational
training, means going into com
petition with this great army OF
the unframed. In many cases 1t
means starting with a wage that
seems large for a boy or girl OF
fourteen; but it soon reaches a
maximum which many are still
receiving at twenty-five or thirty
years of age. It is now too late
to change, and yet, these must
still compete with the boys and
girls of fourteen or fifteen, COM
ing out of the schools at the rate
of nearly million a year, all
eager for their places. No won
der many a father is seriously
| troubled about the future OF his
fourteen-year-old boy who is
restless to do things but whom
/ the school offers nothing Of voca'
! tional interests. III
For girls the problem IS MOI
| different from that Of men,
Based on six representative occu-
| pations filled by girls of from
fourteen to twenty years Of age
without training, and six girls
up to twenty, having training, IN
girls trade schools, it was found
by the Massachusetts Commission
on Industrial Education that the
average minimum wage for the
unframed was $3.50 a week, the
average maximum $500; for thu
/ trained in trade schools, an ave
rage minimum of $500 a week
and an average maximum Of
$14.OO a week. Here again the
value in money Of every day
spent in trade school is seen t.
be very large, indeed. In Other
values it means almost the dill
ference between Responsibility
and the loss of it. Mr.. E. w

Streets to be Macadamized.

Aldermen Grove, Shoemaker and
Phebus, composing the Street Committee
of the Board of Aldermen, in a special
meeting, held on Friday night. April
18th, met Mr.. Sands, of the firm of
Sands. Kline and Company, contractors
for oil laying, and S. NJ. Chnsthelf, Of
the Texas Company, makers of the
Texaco Road products, and arranged for
the oiling and healing the new streets OF
the city.
The Street Committee decided to pur
chase a car or perhaps more OF Texaco
Special Mac dam Binder, for which was
given a price of six and three -fourths
cents a square yard, laid on the streets
hot and under pressure. Over this must
go gravel or crushed stone, which will
make nearly three.fourth inch cushion
and which makes street practically
dustless and prolongs the life Of it con-
sderably The city plans to use this
material on the new streets to be macad-
amized the coming summer. The Mary
land Good Roads Commission will use
the same sort of an application on the
road from Middletown to the top of
South Mountain, stretch of more than
four miles and that will be applied by
the same men engaged Tor the work IN
Frederick.
The material contains about SO per
cent. of asphaltum and once applied it
is stated that a solid and water-shedding
surface is given road for some years.
The city will sweep the street and will
also apply the screenings or gravel.
1t is expected that for all of the street
work that is to be done in Frederick
this summer, including the resurfacing
ofthe streets and the application of the
special oil. the cost will be between
$1,000 and $4,000. The streets upon
which this money is expected to be ex-
pended, include the following: Park
avenue, Trail avenue, Washington
street, McMurray street. Center street
and Madison street, all Of which must be
macadamized.

Nearly twenty-five lots have been sold.
One square west Of Rockwell Terrace,

pany, said recently that the develop
ment of the property would be confined

Killed by Motor.

! Losing his grip on the ladder of a
freight car, FLOYD A. Cramer, a con.
ductor of freight crew Of the Hagers.
town and Frederick Railway Company
fell in front of a moving freight motor, on
FRIDAY last. April 18th, about $50
o'clock, in the Jefferson freight yards.
and was instantly killed. His left arm
was severed at the elbow and portion
OF his skull was crushed.
An inquest was held and the follow
ing verdict was rendered:
Floyd A. Cramer came TO his death
through an unavoidable accident aud we
forthwith find that the manner of placing
cars in the Jefferson yards is done in a
reckless manner, but not on this oc-
casion."
The coroner's jury was composed of
fhe following gentlemen: NJ. J. Dade,
chairman: r. C. Cutler, G.. F. Darner,
Milton G.. Rice c. E. Fry, James L.
Burrier, Emory F. Cutler S. /. Bowlus,
Henry A. Magaha. L. f. Summers, c.
E Summers and w. B. Doty.
Just how Cramer met with his death
is mystery. The members of the crew
did not see him fall, and it is thought
that he lost his grip on the moving car
which had been cut loose from the mo-
tor and fell to the tracks. The jar of the
motor when 1t passed over Cramer caus-
ed the motorman, /. Lee Willard. to ap-
plv the brakes and stop the car IN
stantly. Only the first car passed over
the man.
DR.. H. B. Gross, of Jefferson, was at
once summoned, but reported that
Cramer had been instantly killed. The
body was covered with sheeting, until
the party from Frederick arrived HIS
companions had done all that they
could.
The crew, Willard motorman; Cramer,
conductor, and Darner. brakeman, dur
ing their service with the company, won
the cognomen of "The Happy Crew"
During the recent snow storm, when the
lines Of the road were blockaded with
huge snow drifts, these men were Insep-
arabic. While they worked night and
day. without any thought of personal
comfort, they were always happy.
Cramer and Willard especially were boon
companions. They always led in the
fun and jollity that encouraged the weary
and tagged men during that period of
labor.
