CONSERVATION OF THE

Vocational guidance does not mean
mind-reading, If it did start in Bos-
toni It does not mean deciding for
child what he is going to be. That
is the duty Of the parents of the chill
dren, the natural protectors of the
children. Vocational guidance does
not mean job-finding, any more than
vocational education means training
the children to serve single employ
er. Both are social propositions. It
means taking the child at the most
suggestive period Of his life, opening
the child's eyes to what the world has
in store for those who will pay the
price in the way of training and
growth, and then following the child
through its career. The school will
follow the child into industry; the
school viii make an appraisal Of the
occupation. We have no right to per-
NIT stagnation of mind and soul, even
though the child is already in employ
ment. There is no period of life when
education can safely cease, At the
adolescent period, which is the work
ing period Of most of our children
then, more than ever, we need social
protection, so that all that the child
has in him for a contribution to the
community may be saved.
Therefore, we are viewing children
IN the school from a new viewpoint
Instead of looking upon the child al
headed for work or for college, we
look upon him as becoming servant
to society. These agencies which seel

school to work, these agencies which
follow up the consequences of earl!

mission to Dismiss Local
Merchants Complaint.
NO WATER COMPETITION
Brief Cites Reasons Why Higher
Charges Should Be
Allowed.

Asserting that higher commodity rates
TO washington than to Richmond, Peters
burg. and Fredericksburg. Va, are justi
ned. for the reason that Washington
rates are not. water competitive rates.
counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio
PENNSYLVANIA, and other railroads serv-
ing Washington from North and East
yesterday filed brief with the Interstate
Commerce Commission in which they
ASKED that the complaint brought by the
Washington Chamber OF Commerce. the
Retail Merchants Association. and many
business men and firms be dismissed.
The brief holds that Washington. nat
urally and by custom, belongs to the
Northern group of cities, with Baltimore
as chief competitor. and it is alleged that
Washington Is in reality seeking to gain
advantage over Baltimore. 1t is further
stated In the brief that the rates to Rich
mond, Petersburg. and Fredericksburg
are based on the Norfolk rate. which il
Is stated. was made low for the purpose
OF meeting direct competition by water.
City Not In "Low" Group.
Washington. 1t is declared. has no place
in this group. 1t also is stated that the
Interstate Commerce Commission in the
Norfolk" case, when all rail rates were
reduced to the water rate. authorized vio-
lation OF the fourth section of the Inter
state Commerce act in lower rates to
Norfoik and other Virginia cities than
apply to shorter hauls to Washington
1t Is asserted that water competition to
virginia cities IL to some extent offset
by the greater rapidly of railway serv-
ICE. and that the faster railroad service
to Washington offsets the effect of water
rates. II Is pointed out that from New
York to Richmond Is Al miles by water
and 343 by rail and to Washington 524
miles by water and only 227 by rail.
The brief. attacking the right of the
complainants to bring up the case declares
that all the issues involved were decided
In the store-door and other Chamber OF
Commerce cases. when the Interstate
Commerce Commission found that class
rates to Washington were reasonab bic.
1t is maintained by counsel for the rail-
roads that while the present case Is
aimed ut commodity rates. the complaint
In reality attacks the rate relationship
between II Virginia cities and the
commission declined to consider this rate
relationship when II refused a rehearng
OF the store-door cases.
The bref asks the commission to con-
slider that. while nominal compliments
were named in the case it seemed that
the Freight Audit and Adjustment Com
pany was the real complainant The
The railroad attorneys say the complain
ants produced only two witnesses beside
the Freight and Adjustment Company
men. and that these witnesses testified
to practically nothing. except as to fig
ures to serve as a basis for reparation

A Tip to the Hotel McAlpin.

| The increase in English visitors TO
the United States through the long
continuance of the war in Europe may
have the effect of forcing New York
hotel men to do a considerable amount
| of rebuilding and reorganization of
| their systems as we'll training and
employing a large extra force of at
| tendents, both male and female.
A proprietor and manager of one Of
London's leading hotels was recently
a guest at the McAlpin, his first visit
to the States" and before leaving for
"a Western trip sought out Mr.. l.. NJ.
Boomer. managing director of the
hotel, and made himself known.
II have found much to admire in
the appointments of your splendid big
house." said the Londoner to Mr..
Boomer. after telling of his trip and
the dull season which the English
men are experiencing. But there is
one grave fault in the construction.
or, rather, in the service. which | am
afraid the English will note with re-
gret: and l think you will agree with
me instantly when I tell you how ~
will add to the peace of mind of the
guest"
Mr.. Boomer was interested immedi-
ately, and asked enlightenment.
why. there is no call in the bath"
said the Eng!ishman.
NO CALI l just don't see the
point" parted Mr.. Boomer.
"Yes-the call, So that one may
fetch an attendant Immediately when
one faints in the tub
But do Englishmen always faint IN
the bath-and. then, too. could you
make use of a calling device while in
such "a condition." demanded the sur
prised New Yorker.
.yUhy nj cOurSP" renlied the WIS.,
itor. we often have occasion to use
them. When you feel yourself about
to faint you simply press the button
red for male and blue for the maid
and the attendant quickly comes TO
YOUR aid. No frst-class London hotel
is without them" he concluded,
proudly.
