1t is interesting to note that industrial
development; has created in Switzerland
also a need for the importation OF la
boz. The regularity Of employment ard
the higher wages IN industry have luTed
many peasants from farm work to fac
tories. and as a result Swiss farmers are
now Obliged to employ foreign labor,
mostly Tyroleans. Italians and Slays.

pations the majority uf the workingmen
are aliens. In 1915 80 per cent. Of the
Swiss building trades unions consisted
OF foreigners. who are employed also IN
great numbers In the textile industries
md in the breweries.
A contributory cause OF the immigrant
invasion ot the Sw SO labor market is
the aversion OF the Swiss to coarse

OF the highly developed Swiss educa-

PARENTS ATTENTION

The attention of patents is directed
TO the fact that each pupil in the public
schools of Alma above the kindergar-
ter is given a report Of his school
work at the close Of each school month.
At the time the report is handed to
the pupil, he is directed to present it to
his parent or guardian, who is re-
ouested to carefully examine and then
sign it. The signature of the parent
or guardian is the only evidence the
instructor has that the report card
has been duly examined. After OBJ
tanning the signature of his parent,
the pupil should Immediately return
the card TO his instructor.
Ii is a direct violation of an estab-
lshed rule for a pupil to write the
signature Of his parent on the card
Parents are urgently requested to
carefully examine these reports and II
found unsatisfactory, consult teach
ers, in order that there may be an
improvement in the school work
