VOCATIONAL scHoola

The question of vocational training is one which is interesting the entire country because of it's growing i'm portance in the line of educational work. There are different methods adopted for putting such a system in operation by the various states and cities. Just now the city of Richmond is making an exhaustive study of it's requirements for the solution of it's own particular problems. 1t has a commission of experts at work uak- ing an industrial and educational sur vey to get an answer to such import ant questions as: To what extent can the worker "get on'' in his job? To what extent can the city's industries give special training which they do not now provide? To what extent can the schools be a factor in preparing for vacations? ' -4
 Following the conclusion of the sur vey this month the findings and the recommendatio tions are then to form the topic. of discussion for the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education when it convenes in that city. Thus. Richmond should be in a position 70 adopt a practical system ideally arranged for the needs of that city, but at the same time most val uable suggestions are bound to result for the aid of other communities and their special problems.
 Norwich has made a start towards such an end by the investigation and report which have been, made regard ing vocational schools. That favor able action has been postponed does not mean ar end to the idea, but per mits time for further consideration and more favorable opportunity for its adoption.

"Naturally," said the young woman with the green beads. T am shocked at the war abroad and anxious to do my share towards making the burdens of others lighter. l am willing to sing or whistle or take part in an amateur play or help pass resolutions, but if what you propose is any sort of a bazaar you may count me out. I had a sad experience with bazaars last spring.
 You see, parts of my costume at that time were a fiy-away jacket. very quaint and impracticable. My own grandrnother in her most frivolous antebellum finery couldn't have pre- sented a more fascinating array of fussy ruffies and useless inery. I had made these articles myself, and, properly, was proud of them. The foolish little jacket was the crowning touch.

That Is a rough and in many ways faulty piece of mechanism, to be sure; but 1t has the supreme advantage Of bringing public sentiment to focus at the erit- ical moment. and of making possible alignments of Kindred clements which, in the scattered movements of na- tion- wide primary, would Be working at random and without substantial re- suit"
 It is certain at this time that the state primaries have not been perfect ed They are not able to overcome cer- tain features which should not exist in the ideal primary. The use of large sums of money has not been eliYni- mated, confusion still exists and it has been revealed that it Is as susceptible to control as the convention. Until 1t can be made to overcome these han dicaps it is no time to adopt 1t na- tionally.

onIrHoLoels1 JOB.

Those who are interested in the pro- lection of wild iifeSand the propaga- ton Of game can perhaps best Fea1aze the significance of the resignation of Herbert K. Job, the state ornithelogIst. 1t is an office which calls for the possession of the proper amount of interest in order to bring to 1t the right kind of service and this MT. Job possessed to an extensive degree. The service which he has rendered 10 the state for the past four years without pay has been that which only a deeply interested oficial could do.
 That he has been called upon to render a national instead of state service is by no means surprising, however much his announced with drawa1 means to Connecticut. His work has been such as to call for such rec ognition ard 1t is but the natural out come that his devotion should result in his advancement in the line for which he Is so admirably fitted With out the encouragement of hnapc1al recompense he has done an unknown amount of work in creating a new attitude towards the wild bird life and even to the encouragement of Its raising as a profitable investment for the farm owner, 1abored and lectured for the conservation of many birds which are fast becoming exter1ninated and aroused much greater interest n wild birds in general His plans nave also included the replacing of those birds which have disappeared or are fast going, with others which he has proved will become acclimated here. It can only be felt in his change that Connecticut,s loss is the country's gain.

THE BILLIARD SUIT.

Iii more than one way it Is appar- ent that there has been a change in the management of the New Haven road. Not only by the new officials, but through the directorate and other designations has it been noted tho. tn" old methods are being abolished Changes have come gradually, but none the less certain and how thor oughly past methods are discounten- anced is disclosed by the suit which has been brought by the road for the recovery of the $3,900, ,000 gained through the Billiard deal
 I The transaction whereby the Boston 6 Maine stock control was handled has been brought to light, through different investigations, and the dis closure made that as the result of the scheme the systems assets and funds we're utilized for making handsome profit for the Billiard company. That there should be restitution of such gain has been urged, but aside from the uncertainty of such an accomplish ment it is well to determine what sort of a standing such a deal has in the eyes of the law. If such a transaction can be carried out with impunity. it should be known and if it is viola ton of the existing law that fact de- serves to be established, and such is not tc be obtained except, through a test of the law.
 It is well that there should be a legal determination of the element of fraud, both for the restitution or ex- oneration which should follow and for the Encouragement and prevention of such performances henceforth. Such ic not likely to occur with that com pany again, but there is no telling where it might be practiced next if allowed to go unchecked

 The person who suggested that declaration of war should be made in this country only by vote of the people put the case very clearly. His idea is that such question be referred directly to the voters and that every ballot for '.yes" shall be considered an anlistment. That would at least put the responsibility where it belonged and leave the fighting to those who lemand it. It would also be a reversal # existing conditions. Now most of -he patriots" who urge war are the
 ast ones to think of fighting them selves. Under such a reasonable ar
 angement war as proposed wou never become popular.--Bristol Press.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Moutfaucor-A town of northern France, 13 miles northwest of Verdun, half way between the valleys of the Mouse and Aire. 23 miles from the Belgian border and but few miles east of the Areonne Forest. It was here. that the body of Admiral Col Iigny, "the noblest victim" of the mas sacre of St. Bartholomew. was hung up by the heels on the gibbet. The body was secretly taken from here to Chan tilly and buried in the parish church without the head. which was conveyed had incurred the wrath of Catherine by endeavoring to draw the king, Charles TX, into a war with Spain. Her attempt to have him assassinated infuriated the Huguenots. and Gather inc conceived the idea of killing their ty. It is estimated 50,00o were mas sacred in the whole of France.
 clernont de POise A town of northern France, with about 1000 pop ulation IS miles west of Compiegne, on the Breche. a tributary of the OIse. It's ancient castle is now used as a prison for women. In the Middle Ages, so the legend goes. two Irish girls, Maura and Bridget, suffered martyr dom near by. and were buried in the cemetery of Nogent, in Clermont. Tow ard the end of the 18th century a peasant lost black COW that passed the night lying on the tomb of the virgins. When the COW was found one side had turned white. Some time later the cow again slept on the tomb and it's other side was turned white The fame of the miracle spread through all France and thousands of people came to see the COW and be cured. NoRent became henceforth Mo- -Vierges and the relics of the two virgin n-saints were placed in a shrine within the church, where they may be seen to this day.
 creey on Ponthieu-A town of north ern France. 12 miles north of Abbey vile. famous for the victory of Edwar1 III of England over Philip, King of France. in 1346. The English forces were estimated at 25,00O, while the French army was about 100, GOO. The first division of the former army was commanded by the Prince of Wales, and during the fighting he was hard pressed. A message was sent to Ed ward III asking for help. 'Ts my son hurt, or dead, or on the earth felled ?" asked the king. "No, sire, but he has need of your aid," was the reply. Tell them that sent you," replied Edward, that they send no more to me for any adventure that falleth, as long as my son is alive; and also that they suffer him this day to win his spurs" The French finally gave way and fled A tradition, probably erroneous, says that this was the first battle in which cannons were used Con the side of the Englisl).

NO EXCEPTION FOR MONTICELLO.

The new movement which is being made for the purchase SC by the soy ernment of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, takes on 8 new phase when it is declared by Secre- tary Bryan that 1t is desired to com memorate the great democratic ad- ministration," and MT, Levy refers to 'sbowing to the wishes of the Amer ican people,
 In the first place there has appear ed no expression of the American peo- pie for or against the purchase of the estate so greatly cherished by Con- gressman Levy. The nearest approach to it is the attitude which has been manifested by congress relative to the movement which has been underway for 8 long time in behalf of it's pur- chase, and such has not been enthu- siastic as it's retention by MT. Levy shows.
 That MT. Bryan should wish to cona- nemorate the democratic administra- tion is perhaps natural, but it is es- tablishing dangerous precedent in such a proposed expenditure of a halt mil dollars. If the wishes of the American people were known there can be no doubt but what they would demand the paying of proper respect to ecoronv. 4 ha1f ro.llior d-1'ere could be used in a much better way for national benefit. If it is desir, d by MT. Bryan to erect a. monument to the memory of the administration, aside from it's tariff and other work, it Is but proper that Monticello should be procured as Mount Vernon and the homes. of other presidents have Teen by associations and not by the goy- erE-nent. It affords chance for dera- ocratic and other subscriptions. but congress should, and it is believed will leave 1t severely alone.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES.

It cannot help being felt, even by the advocates of the legislation. that the plan to postpone action upon such an important matter as presidential primaries Is a wise one. Neither is there time Tor giving 1t proper con. sideration at this or the short session which win follow. If such a plan is over put into operation 1t means a decided change and it must be done with full knowledge of what Is being undertaken and what the results are likely to be.
