VOCATION WORK

There is rising demand in this
country for vocational training in the
public schools, and If the agitation
keeps up there is liable to be a radi
cal change made in the public schools
OF the country. Whether this will be
for better or worse depends upon the
system that is adopted by the edu-
Gators OF the state and nation. No-
cational training Is a good thing II II
is carried on right, but can accom-
plish little good If 1t is only conducted
as a fad 1t would be a fine thing If
the pupils could be turned out of the
public schools with sufficient training
TO enable them to make a living from
the start, but such work must not be
done at the expense OF other branches
OF education. ON the other hand
there are great obstacles to overcome
in the way Of introducing proper
system Of vocational training, the
chief Of which would be the expense.
1t would cost vast sum TO equip
the schools with shops and laborator-
les for teaching the various trades and
professions on account OF the varying
choices that the children would make
for their life work. To equip the
schools with shops of one kind only
would be working an injustice upon
all who did not want to learn that
particular trade. In order TO be just
to the public the schools would have
to be in a position TO teach any line
of work that the pupils incline to and
are especially adapted TO do. This
would make the cost prohibitive and
result in the destruction Of the school
system There is a lot OF merit in
vocational training, but before 1t can
be put into effect generally throughout
the country definite system will
have TO be agreed upon by the edu-
Gators that will be practical and eff
fective from the start. 1t Is great
problem, the solution OF which will
have to be found within the next
few years in order TO properly meet
the demand OF the times.

functions. The mother must also
realize that rest is as important for
the child as play, and that sufficient
quiet, restful sleep does it's equal part
In storing energy and bringing about
perfect development. Children need
sunshine and fresh air, and at night
should sleep in a well-ventilated room
with the windows well down from the
top. They should be bathed regular
iy and properly clothed But no mat
ter how well fed and clothed how
clean and well nourished previous to
its admission to school, the parents
interest must follow the child to the
schoolroom and see that such environ
ment does not undermine it's health.
Herein lies the responsibility Of the
father, as a citizen and taxpayer. 1t
is his money that maintains the school
and ii iS his duty to see that his child
is not forced into an overcrowded,
poorly ventilated, over-heated class
room, compelled to breathe for five
hours day the eXpirations from forty
to fifty pair of lungs, and it's condi-
ton so weakened as to render il vul-
nerable to the attacks OF infectious
disease. Any one to attempt, on re-
Election, will be impressed with the
futility of expecting a maximum pro-
gression, physical and mental, where
children are housed in overcrowded
classrooms with little or no moisture
in the air. compelled to breathe dry,
vitiated air. tasks with suffocated
brain-cells deprived OF natures gener-

dition In a large number OF school
rooms throughout the land to-day.

Council Meeting

The City Council met in regular ses
sion at the council chambers Thursday
night. The Honorable Mayor and full
board of council. A large number of
representative citizens had collected TO
give voice to their opinion on some
question which would be considered by
the council. Before taking up the rou-
tine matters, the Mayor took up some
special matters and among the first of
these was the all absorbing question OF
the oil and dust problem. An ordinance
was adopted unanimously by the board
which is believed to be just and equit-
able to everybody, the substance OF
which is first, that oiling the streets is
compulsory. Second, all the principle
streets of the city will be oiled and such
other of the streets as the citizens re-
siding thereon may desire, and the cost
of the same will be charged against
the abutting property.
The representatives of the Associated
Charities appeared and made report
of their receipts aud expenditures,
which report as heretofore has been
published in these columns They
asked for an additional allowance of
800 which was taken under 1nsi de ra-
tion by the Council.
A communication which it is claimed
was issued by the Woman's Club was
read to the Council in which il
recon mended various matters looking
to the cleanliness of the city How
ever, the Council was under the belief
that the oil ordinance provided for
all of this and the enforcement would
render unnecessary the consideration of
the matter suggested by the good
women.
The question of the brick streets was
postponed on account ofthe absence Of
some of the interested parties, and viii
be considered al special meeting Mon
day night.
The routine business was then taken
up and number of small claims certi-
fed for payment.
stringent ordinance against the Civ
ing of immoral shows or pictures, was
passed with a penalty of s25. 90 for its
violation.
A number OF property owners were
ordered to construct cement pavements
within thirty days.
The meeting was entirely harmonious
and was characterized by the desire of
the City Council to do the best that it
could for the city of Richmond within
the limits of its financial ability.

DESTRUCTION OF
THE LUSITANIA.

The human mind can scarcely COM
prehend that in an age of christianity, a
nation can become so crazy as to COM
NIT deeds so outrageous in character as
that of the wanton destruction of the
property and lives of non-combatants
on the high seas at time and place
where they could not under any cir
cumstances be inimical to the interests
of the destroyer. Yet, toll of 1900
human lives, is the penalty exacted by
Germany for the Lusitania in a civil
way and manner, sailing on the high
seas of which God alone is the master.
America is stirred as never before. It
has been stricken by cowardly hand
in a cowardly manner and the lives of
its citizens have been snuffed out like a
candle. The heart throb is universal
sympathy for the victims, universal dis
dain for the murders.
In our hour of distress, we are mind
full that the destiny of this nation is
guided by Wilson and Bryan, two
apostles of peace, in whom the people
have unbounded confidence. Theirs
are not not minds trained to murder
They think and act in peace and in
this hour of the Nations peril, we know
that they will continue to guide and
direct us in peaceful ways. The people
must withhold their wrath and follow
the directions of these men of God.

OIL ORDINANCE.

The City Council at its last meeting,
unanimously adopted just and equi-
table ordinance requiring oil to be
spread on the streets under the supervi-
sion of the mayor, and at the cost of
the abutting property owners in pro-
portion to the assessed value of the
property. This is an excellent plan
and no better one could have been Sc
lected 1t secures at once without
quibbling, without misunderstanding
and at cost to be borne by every one
benefited thereby, the suppression of
the dust nuisance. OF course the Coun-
Gil cannot please everybody, and it is
natural to suppose there will be some
kicking at the ordinance; but when its
operation is thoroughly understood and
the city is rid of this eat nuisance,
we believe that the opposition will be
reduced to negligible quantity. That
it passed the council unanimously and
enthusiastically, is one strong argument
III ldNOT vi lllc OIuiHduCCs 1ACoC SCH-
tlemen have had the matter under con-
sideration for several years, and have
tried to adopt plans by which the peo-
pie may voluntarily have the oil put on,
but they found in every instance where
this method was tried, that it gave rise
to misunderstanding, to pickering and
censure. They also found that many
who would no contribute cent for the
purchase of the oil, became its chief
benefciaries. To avoid all questions
of this kind, the ordinance in question
was adopted. 1t bears equally and
uniformly on everyone.
The Council deserves the congratu-
lations of the people that it has adopt
ed such system.
A public servant occupies a place in
which he can be unreasonably and I'M
justly eensured, it matters not what
his vote may be. But people should
think and not be so quick to censure
those who are clothed with the admin
stration of the city affairs. An ounce
of help in the discharge of their duties
is worth pound of censure.

higher bids, coffee considerably mixed;
fresh fish active and slippery; eggs
quiet, but expected to open soon;
whiskey still going down; yeast
rising; breadstuff heavy; boots and
shoes, those on the market are soled
and constantly going up; hats and caps
not as high as last year, excepting
foOlscap, which is stationery; tobacco
very low and has downward tendency:
silver close but not close enough to get
hold of.'-Ex

s Novel Entertainment Furnished by
''Pushcart FaIr"-carts May Be
Rented for Occasion.

A pushcart fair is an amusing out
door entertainment that will be novel
to most. You can hire the carts for
small sum, and you get rid of the work
of trimming booths. Those who have
charge of the carts should wear the
costumes of different peoples-Italians,
Germans, Jews, negroes, Greeks, or
any others that fancy may select
Articles for sale are arranged on the
carts and sold from them as from ordi-
nary booths. There are pushcarts for
fancy articles, others for household
things, still others for candy, for toys.
and for lemonade and cake, ice cream,
or tea. If you can get band and
have pretzels and "sausages" sold from
the German cart so much the better.
The 'sausages" are for the grab bag
small articles rolled in long folds of
brown crepe paper, tied with fine string
at each end.
A pushcart supper will furnish much
amusement Cups and saucers, plates,
ETC.; are bargained for at the first cart,
and the supper itself is gathered piece

earts.-Youth's Companion.

OPPORTUNITY FOR POOR BOY
Career of Thomas Burt Calls Attention
to the Fact That Others May
Rise to Prominence.

The retirement of Thomas Burt,
member of parliament and privy coun-
cilor, at the age of seventy-seven, calls
attention to the fact that it is not
alone in the United States poor boys
may rise to positions of public promi-
hence and distinction.
Burt was the son of an English
miner and at ten years of age went to
work in Durham colliefy for 20 cents
afday. He had passion for study
and spent all his spare moments in
reading. At twenty-five he became an
official of his miners union and at
thirty-seven was elected to parliament
as a Liberal.
In 1892 he was made a member of
the ministry, as undersecretary for the
home Office. and in 1906 was honored
by appointment as privy councillor.
