became head of the Wisconsin voca-
tiOnal school system, Miles remark
ed that the American public school
system was about the worst in the
world In this he complained that
the school children are learning too
much politics and social problems
and deVOting too much time to read
ing the penny press.
I'm other words" said Olander,
''the pupils are taking a wholesome,
active interest in political questions,
are delving into serious social prob
lens and are keeping well-informed
through the press. Such avenues of
thought lead to rebellion against be-
coming a mere cog in the industrial
machine and are not conducive to the
best interests of the employer who
desires only that his workmen shall
attain the highest degree of efficiency
at the lowest possible wage.
Working men, as these men see
us, are but parts of a great industrial
machine. They have learned that
machinery lasts longest and works
best when it is well grOomed and
oiled. Some of them are applying
this logic to the wOrkmen. They are
oiling and grooming them, simply to
make them work more smoothly in
the big machine. The Cooley plan is
years and train him at the expense
of the state to become a cog in the
machine. 1t assures the employer
two additional years of the cheap
labor of youth, saves the cost of
training and lays him helpless in the
hands of the employer"

BIG BUSINESS FIGHTS HARD
FOR DUAL SCHOOL SYSTEM
Again is it evidenced that the Ma
tional Manufacturers Assn, arch foe
of the unions and of the working
man, is guiding the destinies of the
Cooley dual education measure,
whose fate is soon to be decided at
Springfield.
H. E. Miles, president of the Wis
consin board of vocational education
and recognized as the handmade" of
the National Manufacturers Assn,
has interested himself in the Illinois
campaign. He has just returned to
Milwaukee after a Chicago trip, the
object of which seemed to be to pull
wool over the eyes of Victor A. GLAND
er, secretary of the Illinois Fedora
ton of Labor, who is leading the fight
of the union men against the Cooley
bill.
Miles was head of the educational
division of the National ManUfactur-
ers' Assn before he accepted the
school position in Wisconsin It is
said by some that the N. M. A. has al
ready selected a man to head the I'LL
nois system, in case the Cooley bill
is passed.
Miles called on OlandeT in an en-
deavor to get him to retract some
statements, but Olander was the vic
tor.
Olander pulled on Miles treatises
written by the latter, which clearly
showed his position in regard to
union labor and the public schools.

Aduice to Girls
By Betty BroDn

Dear Betty Brown am a young
girl OF sixteen years, and have been
keeping company with young man
of eighteen. / had an engagement
with him for one evening this week
and made another engagement for the
same evening with another man. The
first man found it out, and did not
keep his engagement with me, and
the Second man disappointed me also.
What worries me now is the fact that
the first man is angry with me- I
like him very much, and wrote him to
call the next evening, but he neither
answered my letter nor called. Please
advise me what to do. Louise.
You surely must have known that
YOU would have to break the engage
ment with one and thereby offend the
other. OF course, you are sorry now
but why didn't you think first. instead
OF regretting afterward? It is clearly
your fault that he is angry, so why not
acknowledge that you are in the wrong
and apOlogize? If he is really your
friend, he will readily forgive you and
let the matter drop. However, if he
pays no attention to your apology. just
make up your mind to forget the whole
incident-yOur friend included

Dear Betty Brown am a young
girl, fourteen years old. and am going
with boy four years older than | am.
At first my parents said that l was
too young to go with him. He is very
nice, and has taken me out quite a
lot. He has also given me some very
nice times, and told me that he loved
me. He also kisses me when we say
goodnight and at other times. Do you
think this is right? E. c.
| suppose that when your parents
told YOU that you were too young
10 be goins with boys you stormed and
Headed until, like the loving. indul-
gent people they were, they gave in
at last. l would have been far better
FOR. you, little girl, if they had been
stricter, as long as you don't know
better than to allow a boy-and-girl
friendship to develop into something
more serious.
True love doesn't come at your age.
Love in all its fuIlness of joy can
never come to YOU if you trine with
it now. Remember that, E. G., next
time the boy tries to kiss you good
night. It's late for you to make a
refusal, but better late than never
always.

Dear Betty Brown am a young
girl Of eighteen years-and am very
much in love with a young man by the
name of --. So many people have
leased me about his name that it has
sort Of dishcartened me. But really
love him dearly, and ! want you to
advise me as to how l should treat
the situation. S. /. s.
My dear little girl, if you really love
the boy so very much, it seems to me
that you are making much ado about
nothing. What possible difference
could a name make to you if you real
~ loved him? The real trouble, I'm
afraid, is that you don't like to be
leased, and, unfortunately, the very
people that dislike it are usually the
ones that receive the most teasing.
Give the impression, when your friends
continue to teas you, that it doesn't
annoy you in the least and you will
find that it will soon stop. Then when
the teasing stops | am sure you will
forget all about ii.
