WANT FEDERAL AID TO
TRAIN BOYS FOR WORK

At the last annual meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States, in Washington, Secretary OF
Commerce VIM. c.. Redfeld delivered
an address on EDUCATIONAL Education
and Indutrial Efficiency" in which he
said:
'We used to take into our shops
men of 80 or more who were still
what we call "handy" men. They
never had a chance to learn how in
America. We have got some schools
such as they are, good, many of them,
all too few, and we have the things
we call manual training schools,
manual training is not what we want
in lot of things. We want our
boys. our artisans sons, to come into
our shops at IL or 10 years trained
journeymen. We want to cut out of
our factories the fearful waste of
keeping kindergarten therein. There
is hardly one of you familiar with
industry who does not know that
your foreman and superintendent
spend lot of time in what is after
all, simply pure process of educa-
ton, for which they never were train
ed and for which they are very large
ly unfit"
The National Association of Manu-
facturers, the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor have united
in an effort to attain the very end that
Secretary Redfield argued for-the
vocational training Of boys who must
go out into the world to gain a livli-
hood. and perhaps support others al
so. These various organizations, and
number of others, are urging the
passage of bill by the national con-
gress, for federal aid in vocational
training, a number of such bills now
being under consideration in Wash
ington.
1t is urged that the plans for voca.
tional education be laid TO give in
struction to the great number of chill
dren who now leave school between
the ages of fourteen and sixteenr
These children now have to put in
number of years as apprentices, at
low wages. Moreover, as Secretary
Redfield points out. foreman and SUI
perintendents must waste a lot of
time trying to teach them-and the
teachers are frequently unfit for the
job of teaching. Here then is a great
economic waste that vocational educa-
ton in the public schools, aided by
federal appropriations, certainly
would eliminate.
Vocational education must be made
compulsory, if it is to serve the pur-
pose that congress intends that it
shall. This is well urged by many
educators. notably H. F. Miles. presi-
dent of the Wisconsin State Board of
Education and chairman of the COM
mittee on Industrial Education of the
National Association Of Manufacture
ers.
Compulsory part time school at
tendance for young workers during
working hours is, in fact, only broad
social recognition of the right of the
child to efficient vital training in the
PATHWAYS of life which each must
tread. Without compulsion there has
been no measurable success anywhere.
Children come to these schools in

VOTE FOR THE BONDS

The qualified electors of Montpe
lier Independent School district
should go to the polls at the high
school building next Monday after
noon and vote to authorize the board
Of education to issue bonds in the
sum of $4,000.
The situation in the school district
is simply this: The floating indebt-
edness of the district at this time is
something over $4,000, which was
caused by the new Lincoln school
building costing about that much in
excess of the $4,000 bond issue
voted last year. Then it requires
about $4,000 to conduct the schools
from September until January, the
time when the first tax money is re-
ceived The district is now pay
ing interest at the rate of 10 per
cent on this $4,000 Indebtedness.
Now if the sale of bonds is au-
thorized next Monday the districts
interest charge will be cut down just
one half; and the district will be
placed ON practically a cash basis.
1t is simply sound business propo-
sition for the people to vote in favor
of this bond issue. For instance,
suppose you were in business, and
conditions should require that you
go in debt to the amount of SIP 900,
and that you could borrow this sum
from two different banks, one of
which would charge you 10 per cent
interest and the other one would let
you have the money at per cent
You would, of course, take the per
cent loan.
That Is Just what the school trust
ees want to do. They can borrow the
money here, but they have to pay
10 per cent for it. However, IL
isn't good business policy for them
to do that, when they can get the
money at per cent. But in order to
get $4,000 at the latter rate, the
trustees must issue bonds, but they
cannot do this unless they are sc
authorized by two-thirds of the
qualified electors of the district
who vote upon the question. The
issuance of these bonds will mean 9
saving of at least 5000 year to the
district 1t is therefore essential
that every citizen of Montpelier, who
is entitled to vote, should go to the
pools next Monday afternoon ant
vote bonds yes"

DEMOCRAT PLEDGES

President Wilson was nominated
at Baltimore four years ago and the
platform adopted there in the light
of history is proven piece of patch
work, pieced together to make a
universal appeal based upon clap
trap. Let us see.
The Baltimore platform started
out with denial of the right to levy
a protective tariff-and the protect
i've tariff on sugar was preserved
by vote Of this congress.
A reduction of the high cost of
living through tariff laws and break
ing up of commercial conspiraeies"
was pledged. Has anyone noted any
decrease in the cost of living?
The Baltimore platform declared:
"A private monopoly is indefensi-
bile and intolerable. We therefore
favor the vigorous enforcement of
the criminal as we'll as the civil law
against trusts and trust officials"
All that has been done is to drop
both criminal and civil actions
against trusts. Can anyone name a
single prosecution which has been
commenced since the days of Attor-
ney General Wickersham?
The Baltimore platform declared
dBdl1Sl the tHCIOdCHunSII Vi lnS tx
ecutive upon the legislative branch
of the government, and President
Wilson has ruled congress as no pres
ident in history has done.
It declared for presidential pri-
maries. Nothing done

tial term. Has anyone heard of an
attempt to carry this into effect?
