VOCATIONAL TRAINING.

Spencer's doctrine that science was
the knowledge Of greatest worth. and
that skill in the arts by which the in
dividual and the community live
should be q prime object in all sorts
OF education, gained scanty accept
ance in the generation to which he be-
longed, and even now is not the cause
Of the present movement toward the
sciences and the useful arts as means.
or staple, of education, writes DR..
Charles w. Eliot of Harvard. univer-
sity. in School and Society,". The real
cause of the present American ten
denotes in education is the new and
complete dependence of modern in
dustries. commerce and government
on applied science working through
mechanical power, machinery, the
wiser utilization of natural resources.
and the varied skills which human be-
ings must possess in order. to direct
these new agencies. The first duty
in the education OF the young is to
prepare them. effectively, for useful
ness and a fruitful life in the actual
world into which they are soon going
out-a world very different from the
world of 1850, and even Of 1880. This
is the justification Of the popular de-
mand for vocational training. The de-
mand is of course too narrow; it
should cover the whole period Of edu-
cation and apply to all educational
means and methods.

Euening Chat
Pretty. Plus.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

IT is oil or ouirk of the human
brain that though we expect to find
a nice package in a pretty wrapper,
yet if a girl is pretty there seems to
be a popular prejudice against the
likelihood Of her being clever or OF a
sweet disposition.
Which is by way Of prelude to a
few words about ono of the prett1est
girls 1 ever met who proved, in one
way at least, the sweetest.
came to know her because we
both ate at the same little boarding
house. She and her mother and nus
band occupied the table behind ours.
She was without question one of the
most satisfying pretty girls I ever saw.
She had beautiful chestnut hair. big
brown eyes, a wonderful, clear skin,
good features and a lovely slim fig
ure. She looked as good at break
fast as she did in the shaded light
of the cand1e- at dinner. She was, in
short. the kind of girl who was alto
gether too pretty according to the
popular mind) to have any other vir-
tues or recommendations.
A Daughter Worth Having.
And now for the recommendation
which she emphatica1ly did have. As
I said before, her mother lived with
her and thereby hangs this tale. For,
whereas, the daughter appeared well
educated, spoke good English and had
rather nice manners, the mother,
though a good soul, was what SUI
perior folks call common" She broke
every rule Lindsey ever made. She
talked too loud. she tucked her nap
kin under her chin and-well, you
know the general type.
Yet never in all the months in
which I was In daily contact with
them did I ever hear the daughter re-
buke her mother or show In any way
that she felt superior to her. Now,
when you think. how freely daughters
who are not in any way superior to
their mothers show their sense OF SUI
periority, doesn't it make the sweet
humility Of this daughter stand out
as pretty fine?
Whenever see a pert, ill-bred chit
of a girh correcting or sQuelching q
sweet little mother whose only fault
is that she is bit old-fashioned. I
think Of that young woman who was
too fine to say a single ungracious
word to a distinctly trying mother.
How Patience Pays.
If young girls only realized how
their attitude of criticism and correc-
ton reacted on other peoples opin-
ions of them. they would learn to con-
troll their impatience even with the
most ld-fashioned mother. Even
when the daughter ts right and the
mother wrong. sympathy naturally
flows toward the Older woman.
And then, too. it's SO 'tacky''; it's
only among common" people that you
see such manifestations in public. The
mother and daughters Of breeding
may have their difficulties in private,
but the daughter never rebukes her
mother in public She knows it's just
as i'll bred as eating out of the end of
her spoon, and II she hasn't kindliness
enough to refrain for her mothers
sake. she does 50 for her own.

The main fault with the hair restorer
is that it doesn't.
1t Is hard to convince Topeka that it

The gold fish has also been with us
quite awhile without furnishing an ade-
Quate excuse.
Short jerks: IT believe I would be a
religious man II people wouldn't call me
Brother"
Another trouble with the gent who has
seen better days ia his disposition to tell
about them.
The young man who doesn't 20 home
un1i morning, usually shows 1t in the
next days work.
Every man is entitled to a little recrea-
ton, but few are rich enough to go into
law suit In search OF 1t.
Occasionally there is an unusual man
who will say good word for a public
service corporation, but he's q rare bird.

SAFETY IN MINING INDUSTRY.

SAFETY IN MINING INDUSTRY.
The report of the director of the bu-
reau Of mines for the year ended June
30 1914. which has just appeared. shows
a constant increase in the safety OF
workmen engaged in mining. though
the loss Of life is still great. During
the year more than $500 men were
killed and more than 100000 injured In
this industry. 1t IL believed that one
half Of the fatalities and three-Quartere
of the injuries were easily preventable.
and much of the estimated twelve mil
lions OF money loss ultimately paid by
the consumers should have been saved.
Among the causes assigned for these
casualties are mine explosions and
mine fires. many Of which were caused
indirectly by electrical apparatus; the
improper use Of explosives and the use
Of improper explosives, directly or In
directly the cause Of q large proportion
Of the fatal accidents. among which are
accidents to shot firers; and injury to
the health Of the miners from poisonous
gases given OF by improper explosives.
and from generally poor ventilation OF
the mines. The last is said to be
true particularly Of the metal mines.
statutory provisions in regard to
ventilation in the metal mining
states being incomplete and made
quate, with no efncient System of VEN
tilation generally in force. Although
improvement has been made. there is
still necessity for more extensive use
of safety appliances. 1t is said that
during the past five years through lack
of such appliances more than $500 men
have been killed and 10000 seriously in
jured. To prevent injury to shot firers
it is recommended that shots be fired
by electricity from the outside of the
mine and not in the present careless
manner. The bureau has not only at
tempted to prevent coal-dust explosions,
but also has devised means in the form
of barriers loaded with stone dust for
stopping such explosions after they
have started. localizing them to the
part Of the mine in which they originate
and thus saving miners in other parts.
improvements IN explosives have also
been made through the Introduction OF
new types Of low-temperature, quick
flame powders which may be used in
the more dangerous mines. 1nstruc-
ton in mine safety and mine rescue
work has continued, and the total num-
Der Of miners trained by the bureau has
now reached $4,000. First-aid stations
have been established at hundreds of
mines. The report says the states spend
more money than the government for
improvement in mining conditions, and
the bureau complains that its work is
handicapped by insufficient funds.

THINK AND THANK.

Success comes to every one in the
same way, writes John A. Sleicher in
Leslie's. Exceptions are SO rare that
they are negligible. The envious. the
GROWERS, the disturbers, who are perpe-
tually denouncing the prosperous and
clamoring to break down business be-
cause it is too big have not a foot to
stand upon. They overlook the funda-
mentals of success.
You can't stifle a mans initiative.
You can't Lut all men on the same level.
Men are not born that way. It was not
the design of the Creator.
Diversity is the rule in all forms of
life from the lowest to the highest. If
everything were the same. it would be
an unlivable world, with no premium on
ambition. aspiration or hope. The the
DRY may be beautiful but it is not prac-
teal. 1t would prove an utter failure.
There is scarcely a captain OF indus
try who did not start in the ranks of
poverty, who did not earn his bread by
the sweat Of his brow, and who did not
achieve success by diligence, industry
and integrity.
In no other way can one establish his
credit and without credit no man ever
became a captain of industry. without
a good reputation the humblest business
man must meet failure. One Of the
worst calamities that has befallen this
country is the persistent preaching of
q doctrine to the contrary
The business man who would seek to
crush his rival by foul means, by un-
dermining his business and crowding
him out Of the avenues Of trade. would
be put in the class with one who dealt
with false weights and measures. He
would deserve and receive the contempt
OF the community. His short would be
short.
Does anyone think that the road to
prosperity lies along a highway OF ini-
guilty? How many business men ever
prosper by wrongdoing? How many
achieve success without a reputation for
fairness and honesty?
College professors filled with vision
airy theories vie with cheap and mouthy
