VOCATIONAL COURSES.

Uncle Sam will put vocational
course Of training in every high
school in the country if a bill that
has just passed the senate also passes
the house of representative, accord
ing to a report from Washington. In
dications are that the bill will be-
come5a law soon.
The bill was introduced simulta-
neously in both houses by Senator
Hoke Smith and Representative
Hughes, both of Georgia. It is an
elaboration of the federal aid system
by which the United States govern
ment annually contributes 100000
to each state for the maintenance of
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations, as we'll as four million, one
hundred thousand dollars to carry
on the rural extension system of vo-
cational instruction for farmers
throughout the. country.
The proposed law is the result of
steadily growing conviction that
the prospective farmer, or, n nowadays,
scientific .agriculturist, should be ex-
tended the opportunities of an agri-
cultural schooling at an early age
and not be compelled to attend the
agricultural college = for the rudi-
ments Of his trade.
It has been felt that large pro-
portion of boys destined to make
their living from the soil are unable
to afford a college education and need
high school credits for college en-
trance anyhow.
Fifteen states now extend aid to
their high schools for courses in ag-
ricultural, the mechanic arts and
home economics. Minnesota annu-
ally appropriates 100000 for this
work.
To standardize and nationalize the
high school aid work the Smith
Hughes bill provides that the United
States shall share in the payment Of
salaries to state teachers, inspectors
and directors in state high schools.
1t also provides for a Federal Board
of Vocational Education.
This board, which would consist of
the commissioner of education of the
United States as chairman, and four
members to be appointed, (not more
than two from ANY political party),
by the president. This board and
state educational authorities would
cooperate in. outlining courses.
The states relations service of the
Department of Agriculture has pur
sued the system still further by pre-
pairing a comprehensive system Of
courses in agriculture. These have
been offered to the states for use in
their grammar schools, in the rural
districts.
Alabama, Mississippi, Wisconsin,
MARYLAND, and Vermont; have installed
the course in all their, elemental
schools since the initiation of the
plan a year or so ago.: -, -. .. 3. -....

WANTED TIE CHANGE.

Two gallant privates in a High
land regiment, on a few days leave
in Paris, went into cafe and had
some light refreshment. The bill
came to two francs, and one of them,
Jock McTavish, handed the waitress
a five-franc piece. With charming
smile the girl slipped the coin into
her pocket, but did not give any
change.
Now, to a Scotsman a fye-franc
piece is exactly five francs, and no
smile, however, delightful, could
make up for its loss. So Jock turned
to his mate. "Here, TAM" said he;

AS aDmlREa SEES RUSSIA
New and Greater Empire to Be the
Result Of the Present Euro
pean Conflict.

For long enough Russia has been
the pupil of western Europe. She
has outgrown that phase, and in the
full enjoyment Of her majority may
'worthily play hostess to her guests
from other lands.
Wars Of aggression have been for
eign to her. She has only fought
when forced by imperative necessity
or by the alien-bred ambition of
her bureaucracy.
Her dreams are rather of the spir-
itual, of the betterment of her poor,
of the development of her own.
Russia in herself is invincible, and
the temporary occupation of her
frontier provinces means nothing.
And the magnitude of her suffer
ings will, to some extent, be as
suaged by the greatness of the boon
she will receive.
URwittingly, Germany has been
the creator of new Russia, Of a
united people bound together as
never before by the tie of blood, by
the purity of its aims and by the
memory of its past slavery.-New
