because he built up the steel mill on
the Lehigh. which is attracting SO
much attention in America today. as
because his personality Is Of the sort

Then Schwab took hold.
He decided that quality in the prod

stress on quantity. so he journeyed to
the older countries OF Europe, and es-
pecially to Germany. where the steel
industry was known to have reached
its highest development He went pri-
marily to study and observe. Incl

at the time when Bethlehem steel was
best able to serve the needs of the en-

were in use hero. And that fact, and
the man who had made the fact. were

time he returned with war orders

schwab's story is full Of the quality
Of romance He was born on a small
Pennsylvania farm. At the age of
three. according to current tradition,
he displayed his genius for finance by
doing amazing sums In arithmetic on
the kitchen wall. His mother spanked
him and removed the evidence of his
precocity with the scrubbins brush.
Whereupon he asserted his embryonic
but already indomitable will by doing
it all over again.
In his early teens he is discovered
driving a stage coach for SO cents
week. A few years later he has quad
rupled his income and is a clerk In
grocery store. Then he abandons COM
merce to accept position at 81 week
in the Carnegie Steel Company, Limit
ed. and his career is begun in earnest.
There follows meteoric rise through
all the grades of labor to the highest
executive position. By means of the
Carnegie profit-sharing plan he makes
an Independent fortune. Thus was the
man trained and equipped for the task
Of creating an American Krupps'.

Bethlehem firmly believes in him. They
will tell you here that the war orders
are only an incident in the rise Of
Bethlehem. Didn't Charles Schwab tell
them at the chamber of commerce sew
eral years ago that he was going to
make Bethlehem the Pittsburgh of the
east? Well. now he's doing it. A suffi-
cient statement of how Schwab stands
in Bethlehem is the fact that when tn.

versary of its Incorporation last week
Charlie Schwab was master OF cere-
monies. He made a speech in which he
painted for Bethlehem future glori
GUS and opulent beyond compare: TIL
applause was long and vociferous.
Bethlehem is for Schwab.
The effect of the growth of the steel

fact that the population of South Beth

come up from the furnaces and rolling
mills. "Gene' Grace. president of Beth

hearth for SIS a week. He was set to

no less spectacular than that of Schwab

Devoted Solely to Vacations.

These are busy days at the voca-
tional School, which is located on o
street northwest between North Capt.
toll and LIST street. Boys and girls there
have many things in course Of prep
aration, from carpentry and cabinet
making to sewing, and from printing to
cooking. This is one of the few
schools in Washington which Is devot-
ing itself solely to vocational educa-
ton.
Pupils who feel they will be unable
to go four years to the high school, yet
want to have good knowledge Of
some one thing at which they can earn
livelihood when they leave school,
and pupils who are interested in the
trades offered, make up the enrolment
at this school. Any one who has any
doubts as to just how much of the
trades offered a pupil can learn has
only to take peep into the school.
Furniture Made by Boys.
The carpenter shop probably offers
as good an example of the work being
done as does any other branch. Furni
ture is being made by the boys here for
use in the school itself which would
cost $50 or more If bought at store.
Numerous examples of finished prod
ucts are to be seen throughout the
