us, MUST BE ALIVE

The strong opinion of thinking men is that the United States of America has one or two alternatives facing it either have a war on it's hands or at this stage of the worlds proceed ings, be thoroughly equipped with a magnificent overwhelming army and navy. The general trend of events do not look like it was possible to have a peaceable settlement of interna- tional questions. The strong point of the question is that lives are of more value than money. Adequate arma- ment will be the greatest protection against a possible war--it will cost money, but see what war costs. Be- ing prepared on one side and not be- ing prepared on the other side brings war, where an equal strength will bring mediation and settlement. What are a few millions, compared to the billions now being spent in Europe, and, think of the millions of lives plotted out like fys and the more billions of dollars that must be spent in reconstruction. But, the lives are gone forever. There may be some political agrandizement, but the world is none the better off.

The administration budget Upon which the house is working amounts to $5,1S6,225.SO an increase of $1,27O,- S55.sO over the last appropriation. The senate bill makes cut of $1,125,- 162.70 on the house bill. Considerable argument is made against the high per capita cost of our state schools over the cost in other states. This can in great part be accounted for by the rapid growth of these institutions and the consequent increase demanded for room and equipment. It is an easy matter to run up per capita cost under such conditions, when in reality the cost is for permanent improve mentS.

IT COULD BE WORSE

The Arizona Taxpayers Magazine is advocating the consolidation of the two normal schools at Flagstaff and converting the normal at Tempe into a State Agricultural College, remov- ing thereto the agricultural branch of the University of Arizona at Tucson. It need hardly be said that the editor of the magazine is resident of the Salt River Valley. This is just an- other one of those clever schemes to divide the University.-Tucson Git izen.

During President McKinley's admi nistration democratic papers called him a coward because he did not de- clare war the morning after the Maine was blown up. President Taft was treated likewise and worse called big bail of hay, etc., because he did not declare war in Mexico. The papers all over the Union, regardless of politics, today are advising the people to wait until the facts are known and properly digested. This is no time to throw bricks, but it is a reminder of bricks thrown with 8 vengance by democrats under very similar circumstances.

The torpedoing of the Lusitania by German submarines and the loss of over l,200 lives, among them many Americans has created deep feeling all over the United States. As the Lusitania was carrying contraband there Is no question but Germany had a right to sink the boat, but was not justified in drowning men, women and children many of whom were citizens of neutral countries. The boat was flying the English flag and it's de- struction was only the fortune of war.

Plans VOCATION
SURVEY OF CITY
Supt. Ihurston Seeks Perma-
nent System of Manual
Training in District.
COMMITTEE TO GETDATA
Will Recommend to Board of Eduea-
ton What Changes Should Be
Made in Teaching.

To introduce a permanent. compre-
hensive system Of vocational training
in District schools is the plan Of Su-
perintendent Ernest L. Thurston.
He has almost completed his pro-
gram for introducing the plan to the
Board Of Education. The plan calls
for a survey committee to look over
the field. go back into the past life OF
students and reduce their observations
to a formula for education.
The committee has been appointed
and its personnel will be announced
| shortly. 1t is composed Of teachers
principals and officers in the public
schools. They will be commissioned
to inspect schools and school methods
in other cities, to find out what oppor-
tunities Washington has for school
pupils. how they are prepared to grasp
those opportunities. and in what way
they may be better prepared
Subcommittee At Work.
The work of a subcommittee of this
committee will be to look over the rec
ords of school pupils for about hve
years back and find out what they
have done and are doing.
The plan calls for extension Of all
vocational curricula now employed in
the schools. principally that program
of study which fits the student for ex-
pert trades. Salesmanship is to be
one study which the student may
choose. Later he may be taught how
to manage a store according to bust
tically, and how to advertise wares.
Accountancy probably will be one
study.
The Mckinley Manual Training School
may be changed from a preparatory to
a technical institute. from which the stu
dent will graduate with his degree in
electricity. electrical engineering, draft
ing Or patent attorney.
The student will be given opportunities
to prove whether he is best fitted for
classical or manual vocations. Girls are
included in this idea. they being offered
the choice of domestic science or careers
in business.
At the Lenox School this fall eighth
grade pupils will be given more manual
work than is given in other eighth
grades. Their careers in the high schools
then will be watched to see what effect
this increased work will have on them.
While many of the details of the plan
will require additional appropriations
from Congress. it is thought the accept
ance and Endorsement by the Board of
Education may result in the proper
financing.
Supt. Thurston says:
The time has come when We should
extend the benefits of those experiments
which have proved a success to every
pupil in the city who wants them. 1t is
no use going on with experiments unless
We formulate some plan for engrafting
those features which we have foV7d
helpful to our school system in general.
Many of the members Of the commit
tee already have gone to other cities and
have inspected vocational and trade work
being done there. have asked all
teachers to lay special stress on such
work, as It is the problem on which We
shall be working for the next three or
four years"
