to strangers.
Failure under our present system is
easy. The pupil does not receive the
required mark in one or moro
branches and in either case promotion
may be refused. The parent knowing
there is no redress consoles himself
by remembering that Johnnie la
young. thinks he surely can make the
grade next year, carelessly overlook
ing the fact that Johnnie will be serv-
ing time for the lost grade when he
Is nineteen or twenty II he does not
get tired Of working at q boys job
after he becomes man. and quit
school before his course Is finished.
What an injustice to the boy, to his
parents. to society at large. Alas!
what a fitting monument to our nom
progressive system.
These conditions must be reversed,
advancement made possible and hon
orable.
On the other hand let some am
bilious youth cndcavor to advance and
see how quickly the bars OF opposition
are raised: how strong they are, how
alphabetically insurmountable, in
surmountable because they represent
the entire school system, powerful
but non-progressive.
Listen to the awed voices in which
dissatisfied patrons their name is
legion express their grievances, they
are afread to speak aloud lest their
children be driven from the schools by
well known methods.
Such an attitude might become
prisoners Of war informed in the center
OF the enemy's country. but its neces-
sity lis distressing in these United
States where justice with honor should
not be unattainable. That our child
rem may enjoy the educational prlvil-
eyes due them let us voice and vote
TO influence the honorable board OF
education to abolish system SO
decadent. On the proper education OF
the American youth. native and
naturalized. depends the future well
fare OF our country.

blind MAN IS ].
. H0USEWRECKER
Loss of Sight is Little or No
Handicaps, Thinks Resident
of California.

BERKELEY, Cal. April Blind
ness is no serious handicap to Gerald
Cloutman Of No.2207 Ellsworth street,
housewrecker, who has not seen the
bright sun since he was three years
old. He graduated from the Cali
fornia school for the blind and
started out to make his own living.
Now he daily astonishes those who
know of his affection. by climbing
steep roofs, detaching lumber from
the most precarious positions and al
ways coming back to safety I'M
scathed. He is at present wrecking
a house at Sixty-fourth street and
work himself, and even experts can
find no fault with the way the boards
are aligned on the sidewalk and waste
is neatly piled away.
Thinks Blind Can Do Anything.
To those who express their aston
ishmcnt at his skill, Cloutman replies
that blind man can do nearly as
much as anybody gifted with two
seeing eyes.
But blind people are never given
chance, he complains. III people
would interest themselves in indi-
vidual cases and use patience and
compassion, many who are now a
burden to their communities would
become useful members Of society.
More is being done now along those
lines. and the time will come when
blind man will have no more difficulty
in securing a position than any one
else. Science may help some, but
those who must grope their way
through life in darkness entirely will
be benefited more by the exercise of
sound common sense"
Wife and q Homestead.
Cloutman was married six months
ago. He is about 80 years old. For
several years he has spent the sum-
mer months in .Calaveras. county,
where he claimed homestead and
makes living selling brooms. In
winter he plies his trade as wrecker
in this city.
