rlon or skill ana Intelligence focused
on the pupil to interest him in his
work and draw the best there is in him
to the subject taught The teacher
who is able to do this is the one who
has gained his knowledge in the prac-
tical school of exrerience-the work
shop-the man who has thoroughly
mastered his trade.
DR.. Upton, principal of the state nor
NAL school at Buffalo, says that the
man who is a thorough master of his
trade will prove a successful teacher
of that trade or of the book subjects
connected with it. He appreciates that
ordinarily such a man is employed as
q wage Garner during the day. and If
he is ambitious to take advantage OF
the schools course Of instruction it
must be done as continuation work.
Therefore, the Buffalo Normal school
conducts vocational classes for these
groups In evening schools. The term
runs from September until June.
Before student in the vocational
classes Is eligible for a diploma he
must furnish satisfactory evidence
that he has completed an apprentice
ship considered adequate by the mem
bers of his specific trade, and also that
he has been recognized as a Journey
man In his trade for at least four years.
A vocational training diploma from
the New York State Normal school is
a life license to teach any class In the
trade for which the certificate is grant
ed. 1t is accepted in any public voca-
tional or trade school in the state. The
diploma is recognized In most other
states and holders are allowed to teach
without further examination.

CONEY ISLAND

Coney Island has once more
proved itself the foremost aviation
ground in this section of the coun-
try by reason of the great Ruth
Law and Happy the Human Fly,
biplane combination of aerial dare
deviltry. No more thrilling drama
of the earth and sky was ever pro-
duced the world over. Similiar
sensational features are to be put
on at Coney Island before the sum
mer wanes. Among these will be
the military encampment of more
than 1000 soldieas which will have
as one Of its attractions a mighty
sham battle, played with all the
strategy of war. Coney Island is
now walking hand in hand with its
playfellow Sumner, and Broadway
leading to the wharfboat Of the Is
land Queen and Princess seems a
great parade-way these days for the
merrymskers. The dancing cabins
are net only gay with festive youth
and beauty bat seem a strong at
traction for the fathers and mothers
age is not barrier in the present
dance fad. Probably there is no
livelier throughfare In the West
than the promenade of JOY at Coney
The Coney cabaret is the best in
this section of the country.

further, that in our humble opinion

international officers could make no

that if they promised to pursue or
to refrain from pursuing any par

demonstrate their uphtness for the

conclusion he was told that neither

sire any litigation with his clients

will follow such course as we be-

we will see to it that the co lrse is
