STONE FOR EARLY
BILL ON SHIPPING

That some kind of a shipping bill
should be passed at this session OF
Congress is the view expressed by
Senator Stone OF Misorui. chairman Of
the Foreign Relations Committee.
Senator Stone of Missouri. chairman of
gent matter before Congress. and if
American export trade is to be re-
neved It Is important to act. II neces-
sary, Senator Stone would have the
Government buy feet of vessels. In
any event. he would have the
merchant marine built up. and he says
the question of how to do it will have
70 be considered carefully.
Senator Stone Is one of the Admin
list alton leaders IN the Senate. and his
declaration for shipping legislation IS
taken as rejecting the feeling OF most
of the Democratic Senators that the
wishes of the President i'm reference to
4 snip purchase law should be car
ried out.

IL anyone were to ask you what two
industries had taken the greatest strides
in the United states during the past
decade. would YOU dream that the an
swer to the question is-education and
automobiles? And yet certain statistics
which the experts of the Bureau of
Education have been busily compiling
for the past two months, convince
them, they say, that this is the actual
truth
They will present their statistics and
conclusions at the Panama Pacific inter

is an oft-repeated fallacy-that the

still are working toward that end with
surprising rapidity.
Great Growth Recorded.
In support Of this they cite the fact
that in 1890 there were AS secondary,

greatest progress over other individ-
tai types OF schools. This progress is
principally to he found in the rails
ing OF standards for entry which has
been instituted by many of the med
zeal schoo' $ Of the country.
In the case of the medical schools,
however. their progress must be
reckOned by the fact that they are
graduating men of greater general
qualifications than ever before, al
though the number of medical
SCHOOLS in the country has decreased.
In lSN9 there were 100 such institu-
lions: in 1904 there We're Ice bat
To-Day that number has dwindled rC
lGl. On the other hand. however, the
nrmber requiring two years Of col
lege work before entry has increased
from two to thirty-nine in thlt same
period. and the number of schools
requiring one year of college wors
mas increased from zero to fifty.
Education is unquestionably upon
the increase. but what Is really
needed is the application of such
standards as most of the medical
schools now require TO colleges Of
law, pharmacy. and dentistry.
False Vocational Training.
There is room. l think. also for
great improvement in vocational
training courses in the United States.
So-callcd vocational training" is to
be found in some form or another in
almost every school. both graded
and secondary. But true vocational
training is absent from the vast Ina

specialize in manual training, do

difference between the so-Called ''yo-
