No. 7. Vocational Education.

By A. M Jordan, Assistant Professor

 Arkansas
 The democratic spirit which has at last reached education says that there must be equality of opportunity in scAool work as well as in any other work. What does this meant if means that all people must have that preparation to live life socially of. ncient. To be socially efficient a man must be able first of all to make hving; second, he must have prepara. ion 10 fulhll his civic obligations. ana finally must be able to enjoy his leisure time Note that sx khis phIlo- sopny economic efficiency comes first. And indeed why should it not7 man who is unable to make A living cannot be good citizen. Poverty is oiectiy responsible for a third of the crime In our land. In fact, of the in- mates Of the prisons of the United states as a whole, 76 per cent have no definite occupation. On the other nana' those of us who have followed the great reformatories of our land Anow that when these young crimt- nais are taught vocation along with some other thing of lesser importance that sometimes over s3 Der cent Ro out into the world and make good citizens. Nor is that all. There are ten million people in the United states who have not enough to eat, nor enough to wear, nor a respectable place to live in for all the year. This IS directly attributable to 8 lack of training along lines that are neces- sary Now turning for a minute or two to the second phase of the oues- tlon' that of good citizenship. we find snat there is little done in the school Eooklng directly to the meeting of this oemand.

had ceased to count The milestones had disappeared. Their memories were blank. Mechanically as each dis tance of ten kilometers was forced be- hind them they dropped stupidly into the burning sand and five minutes later mechanically rose and went on again. At night their white camps stretched like a string of pearls into the darkness. and the bivouac fires shone brightly, but they did not sleep. They sat, huddled together for shelter against the blasting cold of the des- ert night, and stared in front of them. or at one another Before the dawn broke they marched on again. Their eyes were red-rimmed and bloodshot with the sand and the glare of the sun. But they neither cursed nor com plained Only from time to time they glanced at one another, and always with that smoldering, searching inter- rogation, 'Is it yet?"
 The day was cloudless. Since dawn no shadow had crossed the brazen monotony of withered azure. Yet there was darkness in the air as though light had burned up light itself, and the great ball of the sun had sunk behind yellow, transparent veil of smolder- ing, scorching ruin. Suddenly to the southeast the darkness gathered; the formless gloom lowering above the slow-moving line swept together in one stupendous shadow which rushed down upon them. Colonel Destinn gal loped furiously along the wavering, stricken line of men.
 "Campez! campezl Each man for himselfr
 Then it was upon them. The sun was plotted out. The sand was every where. It came like a blast out of helI's furnace and crept into their eyes. their mouths, their lungs, their very hearts. It eddied round their feet, mounting steadily to their knees. and around them there shrieked the hurri- cane itself. an awful army of articu- late, destroying myrlads.
 Tn that first moment Farquhar reeIed forward, instinctively fighting the gall ing storm with the fierce physical mad ness of body goaded by intolerable torture, then he dropped quietly to his knees and waited for the end. He heard the scream of horse in terror, and a thud as of something falling close beside him. but he remained in different. Stubbornly. doggedly, he awaited the final consummation of his release.
 Then something touched him. He awoke with a curse of resentful agony A hand had groped through the dark ness. It gripped him, and he dragged himself to his feet, lifting the heavy, invisible body with him. The sand beat down upon them. He turned his back to the storm. He stamped the shifting, whirling mass under his feet. and with a woman's generous tender ness sheltered the motionless unknown man against his shoulders. No word was spoken. Eternities of suffering.

 American Refugees Say.

Nogales, Ariz., June 2S.-Fifteen American refugees, including three women and several children. arrived today from Magdalena, Hermosillo and Empalme by train reporting civil treatment by Mexieans enroute in spite of preparations for war.

They had neither as they came. Circulars spread broadcast from Hermosillo by recruiting ofll- cers and brought here by refugees yesterday contain a Aanboyant call to arms.

Why They Loved Him.

He didn't have a fortune of swollen
stocks and bonds; he never was
plutocrat of which the land abounds;
he never set the world on fire with
eIoquence or wit, for as public
speaker he never made a hit; he
couldn't give a library or hospital to
the poor; he hadn't change for things
like that to help his fame of soar;
ne was but an humble citizen, the
of the lot, who never stole
a single cent or growled at what he
got. He passed away the other day
and left to those behind no fortune
great to speak of, to thrill the public
mind. But when they held his funeral

again, Mr.. Hughes inconsistency
is abused because he declined to make
any announcement of his position be-
fore re received the nomination. His
conduct was unimpeachably correct.
What would have been said by these
critics if he had done otherwise?
With taunt and innuendO, by every
trick and device of politics, by every
dexterOus temptation that could be
placed in his way, by an unremitting
and united effort to induce him to
lose his head and his temper, his fu-
ture democratic opponents and those
republicans and progressives who did
not desire his nomination, failed to
draw him.
"Mr. Hughes enters the fight con
sistently, with a clean record and an
unassailable position as the unani-
nous candidate of his party. He has
disposed forever Of the favorite dem
ocvratic charge of the past few months
that Mr.. Roosevelt was to be nominal
ed, as the result of a corrupt bargain
with Wall street. Mr.. Hughes record
with Wall Street can be traced from
his uncompromising handling Of the
life insurance investigation in 1905
He learned then that the greater and
better part of Wall Street is not cor
rupt.

country. 1t is likely to be cast for a

Seriously as it seems to have taken
Seriously it seems to have taken
itself in the past, the progressive
party is not likely to run a presiden-
tial candidate, however much it may
resent the nomination OF Mr.. Hughes
and the refusal of Mr.. Roosevelt to
lead the party he created" says the
Wall Street Journal. THAT refusal
was an act not merely Of patriotism,
but of common sense. Mr.. Roosevelt
is in some ways the most accomplished
politician in the country, and he
knew that the last thing which would
commend him to patriotism would be
to insure the reelection of Mr.. Will

what the battered remains Of the
progressive party may do in states
where it considers itself powerful
enough to run local candidates, it is
impossible to fOresee. That absurd
collection of faddists, sentimentalists
(sincere enough, no doubt, cranks,
quacks, and gulls, has no doubt still
some nuisance value But it has
completely lost cohesion and leader

er.
Argument against Justice Hughes,
offered by such newspapers as the
Times, and the World, on the ground
that he created a new precedent for
the supreme court bench, in accept
ance of a nomination he had not
sought, is ridiculous. The precedent
was established by large number Of
his fellow citizens, whose right to
establish precedents is stated in the

Postal Savings
Maximum Raised
to $1,000 Recently
POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSITOR MAY
NOW HAVE AN ACCOUNT OF
$1,000 At INTEREST.

Larger postal savings deposits Will
now be accepted at the pOstOfice. This
is made possible by an important
amendment OF the postal savings act
just approved by President Wilson.
A postal savings depOsitOr may
have an account amounting to $1,000
upon which interest will be paid. For
merly $500 was the maximum amount
he could have to his credit. This en-
largement of postal savings facilities
will be very gratifying to thousands
of depOsitOrs who have already reach
ed the $500 limit, and are anxious to
entrust more of their savings to Uncle
Sam Another feature of the amend
ment and will further avoid embarass-
ment to the public and postal officials
is the doing away with the limit on
the amount that could be accepted
from a deposition monthly.
Under the old law only 500 could
be deposited in a calendar month.
The amendment abolishes this res
friction. While the postal savings
system has already proved a signal
success, as is shown by the fact that
more than half a million depositors
have over eighty million dollars stand
ing to their credit, still it has fallen
short of meeting the full demands of
the public, because of the restrictions
which have now been eliminated. Post
master General Burleson and Third
Asst Postmaster General Dockery
have been tireless in their efforts to
secure a modification of the limita-
tions, and the new liberalizing legis-
1ation is particularly gratifying to
them.

Sunlight Is Great
Germicide," Says
the Wayside Sage
(Salt Lake City Telegram.)


Sunlight is a great germicide. Our
pioneer grandmothers did not know
much about germs, but they acted on
modern principles, when they hung
their milk pals and strainers in the
sun ''to sweeten," as they said.
Sunlight, as well as fresh air,
should be used as a part of the gen
eral processes of housekeeping. The
thrifty habit of shutting out the sun
in order to keep carpets and draper
les from fading indicates a large de-
gree of ignorance of modern methods
of sanitation.
The airing and summing Of bedding
every week, all the year round, is a
most important part Of good house
keeping, but one which is much neg
1ected, especially by women who live
in flats, where science is very often
sacrificed to esthetics.
Therefore it becomes imperative
that at housekeeping time the under
side of rugs, carpets, mattresses and
cushions should be exposed to the sun
and air for as long a period as posi-
BILE.

Plants will not thrive without it.
Animals love to bask in it.
Only man shuns it and by so doing
he incurs unnecessary danger from
tuberculosis and many other diseases.

Have Aim In Life
That Requires
Constant Effort
(Necedah Republican.l


Have a real aim in life. Don't be
content just to glide aIong from day
to day as the impulse happens to
seize you Look ahead; plan for the
future. Have an ideal, something for
you to grow to, something to attain.
The man who drifts goes down stream.
If you are not growing, progressing,
you are falling behind. The world
moves on; move with it. If you have
a business to follow, bend your ener-
gies and your mind to seeing that the
business is done in the very best way
that you can do it.
If you would be an artist, think
what is the finest work that can re-
suit from your efforts and aim for
that ideal. Do not be satisfied with
inferior work. If you are a laborer,
have something to look ahead to- more
nearly perfect your present ability.
The man who cleans the streets may
have ideally per+ect and satisfactory
street is in mini to inspire him to his
best endeayors. All honest work is
honorable if done with honor. Doing
Cne's best, whatever the work, gives
seIf-respect and wins respect of 9TH
ers. The wider usefulness a work
has the greater the satisfaction in haV-
ing done it well. The highest ideal
brings most satisfactory results. A
man without ideals, without aims, is
not living up to the best that is in
him.
