THE one incident in my
l life that was most
wildly impressed upon
my mind occurred when
l was a little girl
There was a reminiscent
light in the speakers eyes.
AS l listened the subcon-
scious thought came to
me that she was still just
that little girl, grown up.
Il can see it yet: it was
terrifying! l was clinging
frantically to my mother
standing in the cabin door
way, looking fearfully out
over the unbroken sweep
of the prairie that
stretched out and out and
ended-oh, what a men,
ory!-in a great, black,
wind-driven cloud of por-
tentous smoke. 1t was

the opportunity it gives
me to be of service in a
more extended way to
help the American boy

the boy who is really the

SORROW

IT'S not contempt nor hatred of this life
That knits the brow of yonder aged man;
Impatient he. Being weak, no longer can
He snatch shield and spear and join the strife.

wind, it was travelling faster than the fleetest
animals racing for their lives before its fiery
fury.
dOur peril lay in the fact that Father,
rushed with the seasons work, had neg
lected to pillow the customary fire burrows
about the ranch buildings, and so we were
altogether unprotected against the flaming
wall of death sweeping toward US.
@While Mother sobbed prayer for the
wind to still, Father and the men with terri
fed haste were hitching the teams to the
plows in the forlorn hope of being able to
throw enough burrows across the red de-
mons path to check its sweep over our
home 1t was an hour of terror in our lives
never forgotten.
And while the men, shouting madly at
their teams, ran furrow after furrow across
the line of approach, the ugly black cloud
rose out of the west and filled the sky.
Then came the flare of great pillars of flame
shooting out ahead of the awful murk, and
we realized that there would not be time
to pillow wide enough to stop the tongues of
fire and burning brands, swept far in advance
of the line of blazing grass, which would leap
hungrily across the narrow barrier, and 1t
seemed that for US the day was done.
But almost at that instant and all in
one breath the wind veered and came sweep
ing down from the north in gale that drove
the course of the fire far off to the south.
Nevertheless Father decided then and
there against risking another such expert
ence Tornadoes that shrieked across the
plains and sheared the grain from the fields,
leaving it miles away in great tangled bum
dies wrapped about the debris of splintered
buildings, were terrors enough, even with
the safety assured in the cyclone cellar;
but prairie fires-never again!
nd Of
and when l had reached my seventh year,
my parents gave up the hazard of Indians,
tornadoes, and prairie fires, and came back
East to pursue less perilous life on a farm
among the New England hills.
$50 you see, although l was born on the
sun-parched plains of Kansas, yet, having
left there when child, can very properly
claim to be really, truly native New

THUS it was quite by way of chance in
L cident that Miss Florence M. Marshall,
prominent today in the progress of advanced
industrial education, came from the OBJ
security of pioneers lonely frontier cabin
into the educational field of the East and
the nation. And now she is giving of her
comprehensive knowledge and broad expert
ence in movement that will make for the
betterment of boys and girls throughout
the whole country.
President Wilson recently appointed her
to be member of the newly created Fed
eral Commission on Vocational Education,
whose purpose will be to study conditions
relating to our various systems of occupa-
ticnal education and to make recommends
tons, according to the apparent need, that
will serve to promote federal aid to State
schools

night. Most girls, however, expect eventually
to take up the career of wife and home maker,
or to enter the professions or even skilled
trade, and it is not so difficult matter to pro-
vide for them, if the right course is adopted.
"The boy, however, is not only the hub,
spoke, and wheel, but very nearly the whole
machine, in the world of industry. So far
he has not been uniformly and adequately
trained to do this work efficiently or to his
best advantage That will be one of the
great problems before the commission
take the boy out of the ruck of odd-job and
blind-alley occupations and train him to be
an efficient industrial worker, a capable,
constructive force in the business of skilled
production.
MISS MARSHALL graduated from Bos-
w ton University in 1899, after which she
spent year at Barnard, covering special
course in history. From 1901 to 1908 she
was engaged in postgraduate work at the
Teachers Training College in New York
Following the completion of this work she
spent considerable time studying the prog
ress of industrial training in the South.
In 1904 she organized and opened the
Boston Trade School, private venture
supported by philanthropy. During the
five years she spent in Boston, Massachu-
sets took the lead of the country in voca-
tional education. Governor Douglas Gre
ated an advisory committee in aid of voca-
tional education in the State, of which Miss
Marshall was an active member. Later she
was appointed to supervise the work of in
dustrial education for women and girls
under the States patronage.
During the first year of this work trade
school was established by the State, and Miss
Marshall was made its director. Following
this her private trade school was taken over
by the State. The enrolment of this school
for the first year was fourteen girls. The
attendance now is more than four hundred.
In 1910 Miss Marshall was delegated to
study industrial training conditions abroad,
and she spent that year and 1911 in Eng
land and Germany, where she found much
of their vocational training methods in adj
vance of our own. When she was in Ger
many Dr. William H. Maxwell, superin-
tendent of the New York public schools,
cabled request to Miss Marshall to under
take the establishment of trade school for
girls in that city, and in the following year
the Manhattan Trade School for girls was
started by her with funds provided by pri-
vate philanthropy. This school was later
taken over by the city, and facilities for the
accommodation of upward of one thousand
girls will soon be provided.
From 1907 to the first of the present year
Miss Marshall was an active member of the
National Society for the Promotion of In
dustrial Education.-Richard NJ. Winans.
