IND. c. SCHOOLS LIKELY
Desirability Is Voiced by Education
Officials and Others at
=. Symposium.
Mrs. L. W. Prince Strongly Urges
Plan at Meeting Under Auspices
Of Retail Merchants Body.

Early establishment of a thorough
course in salesmanship in the public
schools fthe District of Columbia
seems apparent from addresses made in
a symposium held under the auspieces
of the Retail Merchants Association at
the Willard Hotel last evening. Mrs.
Lucinda W. Prince of Boston. Mass,
director of the department of education
of the National Dry Goods Associati
who told of salesmanship training
which is being carried on in other parts
of the country and who was the princi-
pal speaker of the evening, was follow
ed by DR.. John Van Schaick, president
OF the board of education and Ernest
L. Thurston, superintendent of schools,
both of whom dwelt upon the desira-
bility of such a study course for Wash
ington.
Had the Retail Merchants Associa-
tion not come to me with this PROPOSE
tion I soon would have come to the as
sociation for it's cooperation, said Mr..
Thurston. He asserted that he did not
think salesmanship course should be
limited to Business High School. but
should be extended to other high
schools and also that certain phases of
the work should be carried on in the
upper grades of the elementary schools.
DIR. Van Schaick declared he was in
great sympathy with the general pr1n-
ciples outlined by Mrs. Prince. Il be-
lievs we can tie up education with this
busy world of ours without losing the
ideals of education said DIR. Van

Several Points Emphasized.

Courses in salesmanship should en-
body not only the art of selling, but
also knowledge of merchandise, per-
sonal hygiene and color and design,
she said. and emphasized these points:
Schools teach arithmetic, grammar
and similar subjects. The purpose of
the vocationa, school is to teach the
use of those subjects.
THE knowledge displayed by sales
girl creates conf tnee in the store. If
a girl in one department makes Sill.
it affects not only that department, bu,
the entire store.
Modern business houses cannot af-
ford even the appearance of dishon-
esty on the part of their clerks.
Girls should have some6dea of what
would look good on the customer.
Fashion books have their styles de-
picted on graceful, properly propor-
toned models, but we don't always find
that type in real life.
Women are the spenders, but they
don't have the training in how to
spend. AS soon. as they learn how to
spend wisely they will learn how to
save.
An old philosopher said: knowledge
is power Were he living today he
would change it TO say, Applied knowl-
edge is power.

Criticises Eight-Hour Law.

The so-called eight-hour law, which
was jammed through Congress in the
closing hours of the last session under
threat of a nation wide railroad strike,
said Mr.. Butler. was a mistake. since
Congress was not given an opportunity
to inquire into the merits of the case
or to frame legislation it believed salu-
tary. 1t was compelled to pass the law
within given time, and in a certain
form.
Even if the administration had not
failed in it's foreign policy and its
handling of the strike situation" said Mr..
Butler, the administration would be un-
worthy of the support of all thinking and
patriotic Americans, because of the fun
damental defects Of it's economic policy"
Mr.. Butler pointed out the need of a
protective tariff TO maintain the high
standard of living and wages to which
the people of this country have become
accustomed.

including many of Washington's most
influential business and professional
men.
The foreign policy of President Will
son was vigorously attacked by Mr..
Butler He declared that its weakness
and vacillation had led to a lowering
of the respect for Americans which had
hitherto been held by the people Of
foreign nations. He said that the ad-
ministration had failed utterly in its
dealings with the belligerent nations
of Europe and lamentably in its efforts
to handle the Mexican situation. The
latter he characterized as a disgrace
to the United States.

SOCIALIST
PARTY STILL UNITED
Last Convention Fails to Bring Aobut
the Rumored Splits in
Ranks

Berlin, September "a The Socialist-Na-
without bringing the predicted split in
the party. The radical representatives
after the rejection of their resoiuuon de-
claring that the conference was not en-
titled to pass on questions of policy re-
Trained from voting on further resolu-
tons presented but did not bolt the con-
ference. The majority which was behind
the regular party organization in over
whelming strength, refrained from read
ing the protestants out of the party or
taking action which would force q rup-
ture. The relative strength of the. rae
lions was shown by the roll call on the
radical resolution, 275 members support
ing the regular organization, while the
radicals mustered 1853 votes. With the
radicals abstaining from the voting the
conference then adopted resolutions APP
proving votes on the war credits by So
cialist members of the Reichstag, and
condemning the separate action of a part
of the Reichstag group which led TO a
split of the socialist representation in the
Reichstag. The conference also passed
the so-called David peace resolution.
The Vorwaerts, discussing the confer
ence from the standpoint of the minority,
says the unity of the party is assured
through the conference, the result of
which was a compromise on the party
policy to be put off until the regular
national convention which is to be held
after the war.
