the existence of fallen women in
Tacoma during Pettit's former
administration.
This letter, written May 8,
1912, 8nd addressed to Capt. j.
e. Darnell, declared that a care
full investigation of the city had
brought to light only IA prosti-
tutes, and that none of the form
er tenderloin district resorts were
In operation. This was at the
end of Pettit's administration.
These detectives have been
members of the Tacoma police
department for many years.
Another letter, from Mayor w.
w. Seymour, was read: Some
of the things that people COM
plain of l realize are impossible
to clean up, but have never
known a city more orderly than
Tacoma has been this last year,
and I want at this time especially
to express my congratulation of
the way you handled the l. w. w.
troubles, for | believe this city
came through that period better
than any other city of the state. +"

WOODS ANXIOUS

Because Stoever supporters are
advising their friends to vote for
Stoever alone, the same advice
that is being given by supporters
of Owen Woods, the latter has
begun to show considerable anX-
iety during the past two days over
the Stoever campaign.
Woods Is becoming fearful lest
Stoever will be second high man
at Tuesdays election. Woods
followers have already conceded
that Petit would receive the high
vote, but until the past few days
they have kept up brave front
and assured everyone that Woods
would have an easy time running
second.
With the Stoever bugaboo
looming up stronger every day,
Woods is becoming desperate.
There is a continuous throng in
the Woods headquarters at the
California building. A string of
persons keeps filing into the priv
ate office of Frank Wilson, vet
eran campaign manager, and slip
piyg out through another door
after a brief interview is finish
ed.
Woods is making a desperate
fight, but most of his supporters
were today fearing that he had
gotten tnto the race too late to
have a chance for election.

School, Students Aided
In Choosing Life Work

SPOKANE, WASH, April IL
Helping the student choose the
life career for which he is best
fitted physically and mentally is
the system in voguue in the North
Central high school here.
The idea of vocational selec-
ton and training in high school
is proving an immense aid in
keeping both boys and girls in
terested In their work.
The new department-unique
in the history of public school
routine-takes advantage of a
wide variety Of aids In steering
Spokane youths into the channels
suitable for their talents and ac-
complishments.
Give Good Advice.
BY kindly advice, by suggesting
careful investigation into books
and industries locally available
and interviews with leading citi-
zens, the boy or girl is early in
formed as to his chosen life works
possibilities, the sacrifices success
in it entails, the steps that lead
up to its top.
1--WE had printed last year a rec
ord card for every student enter
ing out high school," explained
Ida May Wilson, who is the head
of the vocational department.
This card is filled out by the
- ,tInnf'a atnhth N 20 nl,nr
who knows the child's home life,
neighborhood influences, his par
ents ambition for him and his
aptitudes and abilities.
Best Qualities Developed.
1--WE begin our private confer
ences with students in the first
year of high school because then
there is a chance to advise as to
courses and electives and the de-
velopment of personal qualities.
Last year We had put into the
school library books giving excel
lent summaries of vocations that
high school students are likely to
enter.
These summaries tell the ma
ture of the work, the personal
qualities, ability and education
necessary, and the average earn
ings.
THE personal conferences are
invaluable. They give students
the opportunity to confide and ask
questions about themselves.
n They know that | will not
quote them and for that reason
talk quite freely.
Defects Pointed Out.
''In these confidential talks OBJ
vious defects in the way of ad-
vancement are pointed out. The
student with an unpleasant voice,
the one who is careless in dress
or over fastidious, the boy or girl
who has sinking or a swagger-l
ing walk and those with various
other faults are told of them In
the kindliest manner.
I'VE try to impress on them
that these faults will stand In the |
way in advancing In their work |

Because of their distance from
downtown, Mrs. Steen has been
unable to rent them, she says, and
now she has adopted the novel
plan of offering them to who
