cessfully.
NO school system is successful
the superintendent concluded. (Which
deos not associate itself with civic

Specific vocational education needs
of Washington were discussed by
stephen T.. Kramer, assistant super

Vocational education must embrace
the whole of the school system, SAID
Mr.. Kramer, land must not be con-
fined to a specific group Of schools
which usually take the discard from
the other schools.

Here in Washington our first need
which children under sixteen either
must be in school or at work. At
present those between fourteen and
sixteen are freed from school attend
ance. but they may be idling away
their time"
The Capitals next need. Mr.. Kramer
said. is simple, sane survey to show
what workers are needed and what
opportunities may be fostered.
Third, we need a campaign for ed
ucation among employers" the speak
cr said. There always will be blind
alley jobs. but these can be so modi-
fed that paths of opportunity will
lead out from them.
"Perhaps should have put first
the need for an insistent, sympathetic
and cooperative demand for voca-
tional education among the public
Mr.. Kramer mentioned some Of the
things that would be demanded of
the schools of the future. Among

DIVIDE DEPARTMENT FORCES.
A Plan Proposed to Relieve the
Rush Hours of Traffic.

To the Editor OF The Star:
The subject of passengers standing in
open cars is so frequently discussed by
the local press that I wish to ask con-
sideration of a plan which I have in
mind and which seems to be one along
the lines the government departments
will sooner or later be obliged to adopt
Each department should divide it's force
into two sections. numerically equal as
near as may be, one-half the force to
begin work thirty minutes before the
other half, and, correspondingly, be
dismissed thirty minutes ahead of the
other force. To avoid confusion, all
those employed on certain floors of each
building, or all employed in certain
rooms. or all employed in certain divi-
sions should have the same commence
the earlier or later hour of commence
ment were preferable. then the desig-
nations could be shifted every three
four. six or twelve months, as desired
BY this plan 80 per cent of the force
would be at work when the, other so
per cent would be starting to their
work, presuming, of course that the
great majority Of employees do not re-
quire more than thirty minutes to get
to their place of employment. The
same law would govern the distribution
at closing time. This would relieve the
public carriers. the patrons, the public
utilities commission and the elevator
service in the several department build
lngs, and would dismiss the whole trou-
blesome question without friction. cost
for additional equipment or men to OBJ
crate it. 1t would eliminate the dread
ed rush hour E. T. SEMANS.

ages, When Working Around
Dangerous Wires, Sues Both.

On the theory that the Potoamc Elec-
trio POWER Company is a branch or de-
partment of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. Frederick Por-
ter. an electrician formerly employed
by the power company, today filed suit
in the District Supreme Court to re-
cover $4,000 damages for alleged per-
sonal injury from both corporations
He invokes the employers liability law
and claims the power company is a
common carrier by being a subsidiary
Of the railway company.
Through attorney Alvin L. Newmyer,
the plaintiff says he was employed in
connection with the installation Of
certain electrical machinery in a build
ing of the Washington Steel and Ord
nance Company at Giesboro point. Octo-
Der 81 last. While he was accustomed
only to work about electric currents Of
$500 voltage. he was required to ad-
just some iron brackets and switches,
in close proximity to wires carrying
1920 volts. He says the company
failed properly to protect and safe
guard these heavily charged wires. and
coming in contact with one, he de-
clares. he received shock, which
hurled him for some distance to the
cement floor. He sustained, he asserts.
a fractured skull and has been disa bled
