BOY WITH MATCHES
PROBABLY STARTED FIRE.
Shed Was Burned on HuntIey Property
on Elizabeth Street.

At 1890 o'clock Thursday noon an
alarm from box 7, corner of Mt. Pleas
ant and Elizabeth streets, called out
the fire department for a fire in a
small shed at No. Sc Elizabeth street.
The shed was practically destroyed, as
only the frame remains standing. Mrs
Albert Huntley owns the premises,
which are occupied by Mr.. and Mrs
Oscar D. Bjork. A boy playing with
matches is supposed to have caused the
fire.
Chemical company No. 2, Chemical
company 3 and the truck and engine
companies from the Central station re-
sponded to the call.
The stem of the single butt hydrant
on Elizabeth street was broken, and
this prevented the shutting off of the
water. A 50-foot length Of hose was
left attached to the hydrant to pre-
vent the water from running to waste,
until a new hydrant could be installed.
The hydrant was of old style pattern.

They were:
The renewal Of allegiance 10 the

fight 10 maintain that doctrine at
the close of the European war.
The announcement of the deter

conspiring against the government.
The new Monroe doctrine with its
promise OF a great entente cordiale

signed TO prevent any foreign ag-
gression in the western hemisphere

big issues Of national and interna-

PRAISE FOR CURTIS
EDUCATION SYSTEM
Vocational Training Expert
Declares Method Will In
fuence the Schools.

Praise for the Curtis system of voca-
tional education for the $4,000 boys who
sell the publications of the Curtis Pub
fishing Company was given by Meyer
Bloomfield, director of the Bureau of Vo-
cational Education, Boston, at the after
noon session Of the convention Of circula-
tion agents now being held in the Curtis
Building, More than 200 delegates were
present.
After discussing the beginning of mod
ern vocational training, when business
men in Germany turned their thoughts In
the direction of more efficient messenger
boy service, Mr.. Bloomfield said.
I'VE are now conscious of two great
wastes: First, one-half of the American
school children do not complete their
courses second, there is a great turn
over of employees in the course of n
single year. Parents are not inclined to
investigate properly, in order to learn
which trade or profession their children
should enter, nor have the schools been
able, up to the present Time to solve the
problem. In the Middle Ages the guilds
took care Of the problem by assuming
apprenticeship relations which are Inn
possible at the present time.
The Curtis system will influence the
school system in every town where IL is
properly carried out and It will influence
avery big corporation. Your system will
go far beyond the confines of your orig
inal plan"
