surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit.

our people can properly function

EMBARGO REMOVED
Ship Aryan To Sail From Sydney With
10000 Bales of Wool For Boston.

Ship Aryan To Sail From Sydney With
10000 Bales of Wool For Boston.
The trouble over the British embargo
on the Boston-owned clipper ship Aryan,
now at Sydney, Australia. has been sat-
isfactorily adjusted and Carver, Ward
ner & Cavanaugh, attorneys for the
ships owners, received word from Wash
ington, Jan. 18th that the British Gov
eminent, through it's Ambassador, ac-
copied the assurances of the Boston at
torneys as to the cargo of the Aryan,
and that no further objection would be
made by the English authorities to the
sailing of the vessel with 10, 900 bales of
merino wool for Boston.
The Aryan, the last of the so-cal!ed
American clipper ships, arrived on Nov.
% at Sydney, where she had been ORDER
ed by her owner, Eugene P Carver of
Brookline, to get 10, 600 bales of merlno
wool, consigned to New England mills.
But the embargo kept the ship from
sailing.
Mr.. Carver vigorously protested
against the action of the Australian Gov
eminent and for nearly two months
the status of the ship and her freight
was the subject of correspondence be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
The owners contended that England
had no right under existing commercial
treaties to establish against citizens of
the United States an embargo of any
Australian product which was not in eff
feet against all other Nations.
lnasmuch as the Aryan's cargo was
bought by American citizens prior to the
declaration Of the embargo, for use in
American mills in the manufacture of
cloth for American citizens, it was con-
tended that any interference was in
specific violation of the letter and spirit
of our commercial conventions with Great
Britain.

courses OHef some evidence upon tnlS
point. Comparing the English, or gen.
eral, course enrolment with that of five
years ago, there is gain of 536 pupils
while the number of pupils enrolled in
college preparatory courses has fallen
from 6,409 in 1910 to 6,267, loss of l42.
In courses which may be said to have
some trace of vocational tendency, in
GLIDING commercial, mechanic arts, do
nestle science, training for teaching and
agriculture, the increase in enrolment
was 1881 or 108 per cent. This gain
may be compared with the gam of 73
per cent in the English course and loss
of l. II per cent. in the college prepare
tory course. This significant showing
for vocational courses would doubtless be
further augmented if the data on COM
mercial courses in academies were avail
able. In other words, while five years
ago the courses with more or less d.
rect bearing upon vocational interests
enrolled nine per cent of the students,
similar courses for last year enrolled
twenty one per cent.
Some further analysis of the special
courses in industrial education may be of
interest. Five years ago no High schools
reported pupils in household arts or agri-
culture while 289 were in manual train
ing courses. In the academies at that
tine, pupils were enrolled in household
arts, los in manual training and "a in
agriculture. For the year ending July
/, 1914, there were 429 students in me-
chanic arts courses, 189 in domestic
science and 361 were studying agricul-
ture. These courses are subsidized by
the State, are under specially trained
teachers and are required to have full

dlcated by gain of 1892 in the High
