| the Methodist Church entertained
the young ladies Of the church Al
the hospitable home Of Mrs. William

ladies. After short devotional
service, Mrs. J. NJ. Bradley gave an
interesting account of the organiza-
ton and growth of the Missionary
Society in the North Mississippi
conference.
Mrs. Woodie Baker next gave a
splendid talk on The Place of the
Young People in the Church. and
made an appeal to the girls to help
those girls who haven't had a
chance" When the invitation to
join was given twenty-five girls gave
their names.
The society was organized and the
following officers were elected: Pres
ident, Miss Helen Shell; First vice
president, Miss Corinne Walker;
second vice-president, Miss jamie
Maier; corresponding secretary, Miss
Ina Belle Bradley; recording secre-
tary, Miss Bessie Mae Drake; treas
urer. miss Valma Brasfield; super
intendent of study and publicity,
Miss Vera Mae Wood; superinsend-
ent of social service, Miss Alma
Lake; superintendent of supplies,
Miss Maude Strong.
1t was decided to meet again the
second Thursday in April. at the
Methodist Church.
After the business came the fun.
Since this was st. Patrick's birth
day, Irish songs. jokes and readings
were the order of the evening. Misses
Maier. Therrel and Shell, with their
accompanies, Misses Bradley,
Smith and Walker, rendered charm
ing Irish songs. The readings by
Misses Ina Belle Bradley, Hattie
Jones and Alma Lake were thorough
ly enjoyed by all.
While refreshments appropriate
to the day were being served. many
a story of Pat and Mike passed from
lip to lip.

announcement of Hon. James A..

a candidate for Congress from the

While his candidacy was an
nounced only a few days ago, it is
already an assured fact that he has
behind him practically unanimity
of support from all the business and

generally of this section.
This remarkable following is not

unquestionable ability to do things
and his devotion to the best interests
of the masses of people.

Plan of Vocational Training.

This vocational training would be in
the government shops. in which the
implements and munitions of war
would be- in the largest measure con-
structed. The army should be self-sus-
tanning through its own manufactures
in its own shops but none of the arti
cles so made should be sold at amy
time i'll competition with private manu-
facture We think of government array
shops as merely engaged in turning
out guns. This is not 50; in the army
upkeep there is and would be every
activity drawn upon that is called INTO
play in civil society. In gunmaklnS
there is the finest kind Of training Tor
mechanics; range finders and the m
struments of precision call for the
higher mechanical skill in the natural
ly talented: garrisons must be kept up
in their plant - masonry, carpentry,
plumbing the quartermaster
department, with its transportation
equipment alone. is an enormous held
for the acquiring of trades used in civil
society The list is limitless.
The adoption by the government of
these functions would serve double
purpose-it would furnish the oppor-
tunity for widespread industrial
training that would react directly IN
the economic advantages of this coun-
try, with population of highly SkllIed
men constantly created, and IT would
eliminate the commercial interest that
thrives best on war ScareS and war.
The Ubiquitous krupp scandals are too
recent to permit US to overlook the
warning they conveyed and to take
preventive measures lest We. too. be
kruppized. Moreover, war and all per
tanning to il are matters of so great
national and individual sacrifice that it
is intolerable that any class of army
contractors should alone be protected
in the profits that to all the rest of US
smell restitution and death.

Retains His Equipment.

During this period of vocational
training the young man would keep
with him his uniform and equipment in
a locker of his shop and be responsible
for the condition thereof-much the
same as in Switzerland. In the event
of war he could be modified by chang
ing from his shop clothes to his uni
form-a matter of fifteen minutes or
less
During the first year Of such voca-
tional apprenticeship there would be
two months field service with the
colors.
be six weeks field service with the
colors.
And during the third and final year
of apprenticeship he would serve one
month of field service. This would
crystallize the military training of his
first and preliminary military service.
There would be a certain percentage
of these young men--just as there are
now-to whom the military life would
appeal. These would, in place of the
trade apprenticeship, pass into a spe
cial military school that would train
them up to the degree required of the
highest grade of on-commissioned Of
ficer-a sergeant From this school
they would then pass back into the
regular permanent military or army
I establishment. A man would pass
back with the rank of a private and

plan that is taken care of. Under it

ard of efficiency for all is the same :;
for. as Mr. Post provides. no man can

no confusion between these two
periods, and II is necessary that they
should be kept as distinct periods.
even under the term of the single en-
listment.
In brief, Mr.. Posts plan proposes TO
give an opportunity to considerable
portions of men under training as SOL
diers to secure, during the course Of
that training, an increase in their
wage-earning capacity. so that they
are sent back to society and civil life
not only ready as a soldier. but pre-
pared for a higher degree of economic
citizenship. This Is a good idea if IL
can be put into operation without un-
duly extending the period of military
service.

Those Trained as Soldiers.

And this takes no count OF those
men. first class privates and trade ap-
prentices. who are trained as soldiers
ranks.
There is one other phase of the mat
fer that needs attention. Into the
army would come men of the capacity
of professional men, and with the am
bition to achieve such rank. The trade
school would limit their usefulness
not only to society, but to the army
establishment. There would also be
men of the capacity of officers. At the
present we regard the latter capacity
a S the only one to be encouraged, so
We have West Point But if it is sound
in principle to educate American cit-
zenS for certain governmental de-
partment it is equally sound to train
them for other needed governmental
service.
West Point should be more than a
local academy ON the Hudson. 1t should
be a great federal university. open to
all who can pass the necessary require
ments. There should be military train
ing sufficient to qualify a man for
commission for all who entered-an OBJ
ligatory course. For those training for
officers in the regular, permanent eS-
Enlistment it should be most extern
sive. Every department under each
cabinet officer has need Of men with
college training and technical degrees
and il is here that the graduates should
he dra fled for certain period. There
cannot be too much education among Il
people, nor can too many people have
too much of it. This plan would abol-
ish those stories of men struggling
through college on peanuts and pop
corn as a steady four-year diet. But
that loss would be only of a mass of
pathetic anecdotes and in no way re-
fected in the economic ability that
