PRACTICAL TRAINING.

Dr. Books visit gave to vocational
training in South Bend the impulse
IL needed. Progress had been made
and the local school city was ready for
the more advanced step. DR. Book
clearly pointed the way under the yo-
cational law passed two years ago, AS
assistant state superintendent OF pub
lie instruction DR.. Book is giving
Industrial training special attention
with view to elevating the standards
OF efficiency.
This law takes the broad. modern
view Of public school education. con-
ceiving the purpose Of these schools
TO be the preparation Of the young to
become self-sustaining or laying the
foundation for higher education. and
since with the majority schooling ends
with the high school or earlier the
practical training has acquired new
Importance. 1t is recognized now that
girls and boys should be taught how
to do things as we'll as how TO think
logically, how to calculate arithmetic
ally. how 10 construct sentences in
their own language and how to asso-
ciate the events of the past with those
OF the present.
Failing in this particular school
ceases to interest many pupils and
they drop out OF schools before the
fundamentals have been acquired, and
go through life mentally and manual
~ unprepared. The effect is degen-
Grating and lowers the standard Of
citizenship. II gives society incompe-
tent men and women, and to that
source may be traced most Of the evils
complained Of. Under the circum-
stances the skillful use Of the hands is
ss important as mental facility, and
the modern idea is that the two facul-
and symmetrically.
The United States is essentially in
dustrial and agricultural in it's char
acteristics. From these spring our
commercial and financial enterprises.
They are the base on the wool of the
great fabric of our business life Con-
sidering this, the Importance of train
ing the young for the basic work is
apparent. And so our educators and
legislators have worked together to
give the state a law which will place
within reach Of school boys and girls
the facilities for a liberal education in
the essentials, and 1t only remains for
each community in the state TO take
advantge OF it.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
CANALS IN GERMANY.

The emperor If Germany had a lit
tie canal celebration of his own the
other day. The canal which he start
ed by opening the locks at Eberswalde
is nothing like the one which we open
soon at Panama But it is important
as showing the policy of Germany
with regard TO a subject in which this
country has been singularly neglect
full.
The canal is the Berlin-Stetten wa
terway. an enlargement of ar old ca
nal to carry 600-ton bargeS. 1t is the
first link of a system which will fur
niSh transportation not only from Ber-
lin TO Stetten, but from Berlin to the
Rhine, passing through some of the
most important manufacturing dis
tricts of Germany. The German prin
ciple in this case is shown to regard
waterway capable of accommodating
600-ton barges as valuable. Our eco
nomic masters have developed a the
DRY which we heard J. ]. Hill an
nOunce. that $500 tons is the lowest
cargo that a water carrier can carry
to compete with the railroads.
The German use of waterways is an
example to the whole world. We may
be sure if the German rule was in
force in this country the Lake Erie
and Ohio river canal would be in OPP
Grafton. BY the use OF her canals,
among other things. Germany has es-
tablished the cheapest industrial sys-
tenn among civilized nations. We may
be certain that there the railroads are
not permitted TO maintain practices
that freeze out river transportation,
even in ATTITUDES where the natural
freezing never occurs-Pittsburg Dis

ANOTHER ONE on THE COLONEL

Surely you would say. Col. Roose-
welt las been accused of every crime
m the great catalogue of crimes-Of
every offense against society and the
moral law from lifting dOormats 10
sprinkling glass in the food of enc
mics and rivals.
Your mind conned the list of things
awful and horrible and deserving of
electrocUtion and could discover not
one with which, at some time or an
other in his political career, ii had
not occurred to the unfriendly to at
tach his name. The colonel aroused
that in the soul of opponents which
meant apopleXy unless a cuss word,
vicious and scorching, could be flung,
charge, damning and crHcifying,
could be fired
But the catalogue of crimes is not
confined 10 one volume. II is a pro-
gressive institution and, from time TO
| time, additional volumes are issued,
as in the case of the Century diction-
airy nd the foremost encyclopedias.

| pendix, an antagonist of the colonel S
| opened the work and read of the new

cried. That's Roosevelt" So he took

THE COIONEL's PLAN.

The Roosevelt plan of campaign
for 1914 is to kill off the bosses. If
these obstacles are removed the pre-
sumption is that the rank and file of
the republican party will flock to the
Roosevelt standard.
With Barnes defeated in New York
and PenrOse in Pennsylvania the
chief leaders of the opposition will
be removed and, the colonel believes
a political situation will be created
which will make Roosevelt the logic
al candidate for the presidency in
1915. With Roosevelt. the sanguine,
to hope is to believe and he is en-
tering upon his campaign with his
usual optimism. but the probability
is that this time his anticipation OF
success will not be realized.
Col. Roosevelt is counting on the
rank and file having the incapacity
for self-guidance, and indecison of a
flock of sheep which. deprived of one
leader. turns helplessly TO another,
but in this he is reckoning on a false
basis. The people are doing their
own thinking and following their own
conclusions TO a greater extent than
the colonel allows for. The repub-
licans may follow Barnes i'm New
York or Penrose in PENNSYLVANIA be-
cause il is a matter of state politics
and good policy to do so. but the
defeat of these leaders to serve
ROOsevelt's ends in 1916 may have
anticipated.
New York and Pennsylvania re-
publicans may relish having their
plans upset by the progressive leader
but If so it would be an unaccount-
able freak of human nature.
