VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE.

Probably no phase Of the move
ment for vocational education ex-
hibits clearer evidence Of the rapid
evolution in thought and practice that
is taking place than vocational guild
ance," says W. T. Bawden. specialist
in industrial education of the United
States Bureau of Education, IN his
annual review Of progress for the year
1915 made to the secretary Of the in
terror.
Only a few short months ago voca-
tional guidance was conceived Of
chiefly a matter of giving to boys
and girls advice in the choosing Of a
life work and assisting in the secur-
ing of positions. In view OF the am
bilious attempts made in a few quar-
tiers. and especially the claims OF a
few quarters, and especially the
claims Of a few concerns that have
investigated the commercial possible
ties Of vocational guidance, extrava-
giant expectations have been raised In
the popular mind that have not been
realized.
This conception is rapidly passing
however, and among the leaders OF
the vocational guidance movement the
chief function Of their work is now
regarded as the study Of vocational
conditions and opportunities, and the
making Of the resulting information
available 20 boys and girls.
THE most important service that

Probably the most serious obstacle
to progress in vocational guidance is
the aloofness of the school teacher,

difficulties in the way OF his knowing

. CASES OF CATARRH
Think "Hyomei the Most Wonderful
Treatment for Catarrh Ever

Do not try to cure catarrh by using
sprays Or lotions; 1t cannot be cured
in that manner. The only way In
which this too common disease can
be fully relieved is through direct
application to the affected parts that
will kill the bacilli Of catarrh and
prevent their growth.
Breathing the air of Hyomei Is the
only known method OF treatment. that
can really accomplish this. It is the
simplest, most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatment for ca
tarrh that has ever been discovered.
Numerous unsolicited testimonials
have been received from prominent
men and women who have been helped
by this remarkable remedy. Ministers,
bankers, lawyers, even eminent physi-
clans have given strong testimony as
to the powers of Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit Is inex-
pensive and consists of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This Will effect IN
slant relief in ordinary cases, but for
chronic and deep-seated cases of ca
tarrh, longer use may be necessary,
and then an extra bottle OF Hyomei
can be obtained for trif1ing sum. It
is not alone the best ct might be cali
ed the only method of treating ca
tarrh, but 1t is also the most economi-

Wilkinson & Co. have SO much con-

With all children there are times

THE FAREWELL PLACE.

THE FAREWELL PLACE.
It's the same old world, in shine and
shade,
That God in the first, sweet morning
made;
Same sweet stars in the sky above,
With light like the light in the eyes
you love:
Same old round o. the rosy years;
Same old sorrows you see through
tears;
Same old road, and same old race
TO run with a dream Of the Farewell
Place.
o the wraith-folk rise and dare the
skies
To match their fire where the light
ming flies;
And you hear the loud war-thunders
beat
Till they shake the graves at a war
kings feet;
And the paths of human life are
crossed
Where the Rache1s weep for their
children lost;
Same old road where the burdened
race
Take tears and dreams to the Fare
well Place.
And with right and wrong we press
along
From night to the dream Of a morn
ing song;
Same sad story of sorrows old;
Same sweet joys that the heart would
hold;
And the wounded breast still signs
for rest
And rest comes sweet when God
thinks best:
And we glimpse the light OF the morn
ing's face
At the shining gates of the Farewell
Place.

the first stages of the March or YER
nal equinox Of the earth, by the open
ing of the Mercury equinox, and by the
moons opposition to earth and sun,
near the celestial equator. Our old
readers will remember that the Vernal
equinox is often felt in violent West

February and those who are exposed
to the fury of such storms, along the
south Atlantic and Gulf regions es-
pecially should, not be unmindful OF
possible danger at the hours of sunset
on the 18th. Rain may be expected
during the opening stage of this
period, or along the eastern rim Of the
advancing low barometer; but rain
will turn to snow, over central to
northern sections, in the general
swing eastward of the storm center,
causing snow and sleet. as the rising

Weather Predictions for Month Of
Groundhogs, Holidays and Extra
Day Not Very
Pleasing.
SURE TO BE STRENUOUS
Storms and Earthquakes Even, Are
Included on This Menu
Gard For Month
Of February.

The Rev. Irl Hicks was at his best
or at his worst when he framed, his
program for February. There is plen-
ty OF it, and it is hum-dinger. There
is something doing every minute, and
it includes blizzar-s and earthquakes.
The professor says:
The regular storm period Is central
on January 80, extending from Janu-
airy 2S to February 4. Astronomical
causes and things to expect:
The moon is farthest south on Janu-
airy 80, it is in perigee, or nearest the
earth. on February. /. and in conjunc-
moon, on the Bird. The moon will he
in eclipse with the sun on the Bird.
This indicates violent electric actlvi-
ties. These things call for active to
dangerous storms, during the last two
days of January, and up to the 4th of
February. BY the 29th of January, a
low and rapidly falling barometer will
be noted in western extremes, and
storms Of rain and thunder will or
ganize in western and southern direc-
tions, and during the last two days of
January, and up to February 4, storms
Of wide sweep and marked violence
will pass from western parts of the
country over the entire continent.
These storms Will be over the central
Mississippi valley by February 1. with
rising barometer, northwest gales and
a cold wave starting from the north
west. BY the list to Bird, the actual
storms of rain and snow will reach
the eastern states and the Atlantic
seaboard, and the high barometer and
blizzardous snow and winds VIII be
close on their heels rushing eastward
and southwark Keep these general
facts in mind, and as the period comes
on, consult your barometer. note the
temperature, the direction OF the
winds, and the formation and move
ment Of clouds and you will not be
overtaken or surprised by any kind of
storms or extreme weather changes.
Tropical or West India hurricanes,
with possible tornadoes in the extreme
gulf states, would not be unnatural,
any time during the last two days of
January, and the first three to four
days Of severe cold, generally over
the country, will attend and follow
after the storms of this period. If you
will give the least intelligent attention
to the matter, you may know in ad-
vance just when the storms and
changes reach your locality, and
whether or not they promise to be vio-
lent mr. DANGEROUS sis.i'@

Another Storm Period.


trail on Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
the 4th, 5th and 9th. The moon is on
the celestial equator on the 9Th. Mer-
curry is at inferior conjunction with
earth and sun the 5th, and Uranus is
also in conjunction with sun and
earth on the 5th. From these and
other astrononic causes that might be
mentioned, it is safe to say that many
disturbances in the way of storms and
erratic changes are probable at this
time sudden rise of temperature
on and touching the 9Th, with squalls
and thunder gusts in many isolated To-
calities, would be in conformity to the
existing astronomic conditions at the
time. See February earthquake fore
casts. A reactionary to cold, fair
weather will follow from about the
9th to the 9Th. 3i}sGr
on the 10TH covering Tuesday the Stl,,
to Sunday the 18th. Disturbing causes
and things to expect:
The moon is in quadrature, or at
first quarter on the 10th and at ex-
treme north declination on the 18th.
The planet Mars is in opposition, or
nearest the earth for this year on the
10th. The regular Vulcan period. is,
Of course, the foundation Of this
period, accumulated, perhaps by a
solSt:ce excitement OF the planet
Venus, in very close conjunction with
the great planet Jupiter. AS we enter
this period we are. to expect decided
change to warmer weather, beginning
in the west and attended by falling
barometer and growing cloudiness.
During the 9th to about the 18th, these
conditions will advance into the great
, central valleys, breaking into storms
of wind and rain. From about the
18th to 18th. the storm center will pass
from central regions to the Atlantic
seaboard, with high barometer, snow
and change to mt h colder following
the storms into the extreme east and
south. Thus, during the same storn,
period, we have the three phases of
storm and weather, passing in rota-
tional order from west to east across
the continent: First, warmer, threat
ening weather, with falling barometer.
