STORE SCHOOLS, GRADUATES.

Some months ago The Gate City made edi-
torial reference to the celebration OF the fifty
fifth anniversary Of the establishment of the
vocational school for employees founded by John
Wanamaker in the interest of his Philadelphia
store employees. New York City emporiums OF
trade were not slow in visioning the advan-
tages to be derived in following in the footsteps
of the Philadelphia merchant, and some time
ago educational facilities were offered along
similar lines. Within week there have been
graduated from large department stores in
Manhattan three classes of young men and
women who have been specially trained
in things helpful to craftsmanship. Work be-
hind the counter is by so much brought toward
the standing of a learned profession. But the
processes involved are symptomatic in one di
rection of general movement of the times to-
ward the cultivation of high efficiency in chosen
lines of work The 'shigher education idea
is no longer confined to purely scholastic
courses; it reaches into trade and industry.
In at least one of these store schools, arithme-
tic, English, geography and hygiene are taught
to the Younger pupils. In all of them the value
of quick thinking and the way as well as The
need of concentration are subjects of special
note. The idea is to produce graduates fit for
advancement in the interests both of the work
ers and their employers.
These store schools are, of course, legiti-
mate and logical outcome of the 'sbig business"
development. Big business could never endure if
it had to depend ever on an accidental man at
the top. It's structure is imperilled to greater
or less degree by every dull slothful, tactless,
needless scatterbrained person who drifts upon
it's rolls It needs brightness, quickness, intell-
gence, diligence and minds for affairs in its ev-
cry department. Seeking to cultivate these, it
meets its student employees a basis of mutual
self interest.

foyer a few late stayers were wait

bers Of the Blithers party grouped
themselves near the big doors, impa-

"Now for it. Bedelia." he whispered
eXcitedly.
Bedelia gazed calmly at Mr.. Blith-

at the Prince of Graustark. Then the
great financier bowed very deeply
and called out:
"Good evening, prince."

"Where are we. Hobbs?''
"We are just getting back to the

wife raked him over the Goals for
what she was pleased to call his
senseless persistence in the face of
what she regarded as unalterable op-
position on the part of the cabinet
and house of mobiles.
And so it was that Mr.. Blithers,
feeling in need of cheer, arranged a
little dinner for that evening at the
Inn Of the Stars. He invited his prin-
cipal London lawyer and his wife,
| also his secondary London lawyer,
his French lawyer and two attractive
young women who it appears were
related to the latter. although at

"I didn't think 1t of Pericault."
Mrs. Blithers relented. She went to
the dinner. and so did Lady Simpson,
despite Pericault's cousins. and the
only ones in the party who appeared
to be uneasy were the cousins them
selves.
The millionaires table was placed
in the very center of the dining room
and plates were laid for eight. At

the number increased to nine.
