BRITISH BAN ON MILK
FOR GERMANY LIKELY
Red Cross Plans to Get Safe
Conduct for Cargo to Feed
Babies Threatened.

Plans of the American Red Cross TO
obtain safe conduct for a cargo OF milk
to aid the starving babies of Germany
and Austria haVe encountered q wall
OF British opposition that threatens to
defeat that proposed mission OF mercy.
The State Department has taken no
steps toward obtaining assurances from
the British government or safe conduct
for the milk shipment. although the re-
quest was made by the Red Cross sew
eral days ago. This relay Is under
stood to be due TO a desire to sound out
the British embassy informally before
official action is taken.
1t Is authoritatively stated. however.
that the British embassy has shown
frank disapproval OF the plan and sus-
picion of the intentions Of the Citizens
Committee for Food Shipments. which
urged the Red Cross to take UP this
movement.
The British view Is said to be that
Germany has no need of calling on the
United states for a milk supply when
there is a supply available in the Scan
dinaVian countries. The movement Is
characterized in British embassy sources
as one designed to influence public SEN
timent in this country in favor OF the
central powers.
Secretary Lansing said today the re
quest OF the Red Cross for safe conduc
for this shipment had not reached him
IL was impossible to locate the red1es
in any other State Department quarter
1t was evident there was desire OF
the part of officials to refuse to ak,
official cognizance of the request unit
Great Britain is sounded out TIT
United States will not submit the re
quest to the British government. It II
understood. unless assured it will b
granted.

MISS CAYARD'S ESSAY.

The following essay, How Indus
trial Education EQuips is for Home
and the World" was written by Miss
Thclma Louise Cayard and read by
her at the graduation exercises of the
Francis T. Nichols Industrial School
for Girls:
The term industrial education" has
come to be used as denOting that field
of vocational training aimed to meet
the needs OF the manual worker in
the trades and Industries.
An industrial education serves as
industry. The two years from four
teen to sixteen are of vital impOr-
lance in educational development. but
are wasted years for the immature
girl who leaves school to enter work
in the store or factory. She does not
earn enough for Self-SUppOrt, and the
enthusiasm for work which might
have made her capable is exhausted
by dfscouraging results before she at
tains sufficient strength and skill
Without vocational training she has
only herself to offer to the business
world, and she is worth so little to
industry in her first years OF service
that she is not raid living wage.
These unskilled workers are like
the sands of the sea for number, and
very few occupations, and those re.
curing little skill or experience, are
open to them. The competition which
results cuts down their wages to the
lowest figure, barely sufficient to al
ford living. The semi-skilled, or
those who are prepared to do some
one thing, are not so numerous, there
fore their field of labor is somewhat
larger and more attractive. The
skilled workers are very few in num-
Der and they have wide choice of
work to select from in both the COM
mercial and professional world.
Among unframed women workers
there are many who would rank
among the highly skilled had they had
the opportunity to secure a vocational
education.
This industrial training gives the
girl chance to discover what she is
capable of doing, guides her toward
an intelligent choice of an occupation
and puts to use that knowledge which
would otherwise be lost.
1t leads the girl to selfmastery and
develops character. 1t prepares her
to face difficulties and to demand bet
ter conditions of work, arouses her
ambition to succeed and offers her a
more definite and selG-respecting
place in life.
Records prove that girls with voca-
tional training can command the
wage at entrance into industry that
the unframed can command only aft
er several years of toll. In after years
lhOg bC-
cause the faculties, concentration and
application, which are so essential to
business career, have been devel-
oped early in youth
The mind trained by study is al
ways quick, active and alert 1t will
help to wisely meet responsibilities,
conquer difficulties and face undaunt- |
ed many unexpected emergencies.
To the girl who never intends to |
enter the industrial world vocation
al training also offers vast opportuni- |
. ties.
Many of the crafts which used to !
be taught to our grandmothers can |
no longer be learned in the home. Be ,
fore the day of the modern manufac- |
tory women reigned supreme in the !
home, doing the various kinds of |
work then attendant upon home life. |
