Miss Sanger's work is not confined to
her duties in connection with the
Postal Guide, and in another branch
she might be termed the official reader
of the Post Office Department, as part
of her work is along the line Of read
ing to effect saving of the time Of
the officials. For some years past she
has made a digest each day of the
Congressional Record of the preceding
day for the use of the Postmaster Gen
era1, the assistant postmasters general,
chief clerk, bureau chiefs and others
Coming early to her work, the Con-
gressional Record is upon her desk,
and time has made her proficient in
running through it's columns and pre-
pairing brief summary of all matters
relative to the work of the department
and service. Beside making this con-
densation, she gives the page of the
Record from which 1t is taken, so that
if the official who receives it wishes
further information upon the subject
he can Immediately turn to the COM
plete report.
Miss Sanger's many-sided duties for
the Post Office Department also cover
the indexing Of the annual reports Of
the department, the distributing OF it's
advertising among the various publica-
tions, attending to the contract for

Promotion Of Industrial Education. the
National Education Association and
many less important bodies have inde-
pendently and collectively advocated
the proposed legislation. Secretary Of
Commerce William c. Redfield is presf-
dent of the National Society for the
Promotion of Industrial Education.
In his last annual message to Con-
gress. read in person to joint assem-
bly, of the Senate and the House OF
Representatives, President Wilson said:
What is more important is that the
industries and resources of the country
should be available and ready for mob
ilization. 1t is more imperatively nec-
essary, therefore. that we should prop
erly devise means for doing what we
have not yet done: that we should give
intelligent federal aid and stimulation
to Industrial and vocational education,
as we have long done in the large field
of our agricultural industry.
The subject, however. was one that
Congress treated in a purely non-par-
tisan manner and although the passage
or the measure was directed, of ne
cessity, by democratic committee chair
men. one of it's most active advocates
was Senator Carroll S. Page of YER
mont. republican member of the COM
mittee of education of the Senate.
~
In explaining the fundamental pur-
pose outlining the measure Senator
Page said that 'ft designs. through
federal effort, to blaze a trail which the
several states may follow toward
greater industrial efficiency and better
citizenship for our young men and
women. Its purpose is to stimulate and
encourage stronger state action along
educational lines. with the central idea
Of promoting that equality of opportu-
nifty which this country owes to all,
rich and poor alike"

ITO meet the public demand for the
Postal Guide, which will give the peo-
pie the information regarding postal
matters they ought to have. the de-
partment is issuing convenient paper
bound volume. This may be purchased
from the department. through the dis
bursting clerk. at minimum cost, which
merely covers issue and handling. With
the great and growing use Of the par
eel post and other branches of the serv-
ice this volume should be of great
value.
NO" said Miss Sanger in answer to
a question. 'I do not write the matter
contained in the Guide, nor do / pre-
pare the lists of post offices by counties
and states. The various bureaus of the
department supply the data relative to
their respective branches of the serv-
ice. 1t is then sent to the Office of the
chief clerk, under whose supervision 1t
is arranged, compiled and fndexed by
me for incorporation in the volume
The work of the various bureaus OF
the department in connection with the
annual publication of the Postal Guide
has to be carried on simultaneously, be-
cause the volume must be got together
in the space of little more than month
for its issue on July l of each year.
From the middle of May until the mid
die of June those of us who handle the
book are a busy company. for matter
must of necessity be assembled as late
as possible to bring 1t up to date. The
printers who have the work in hand
must be kept supplied with steady
stream of material and we must read
proof and return 1t promptly. To keep
all running rapidly. steadily, smoothly
and with absolute accuracy requires
our best efforts.
'The work is kept up to date by the
monthly supplements, which give the
latest word in postal news These are
sent to all postmasters, railway postal
clerks and others. also to all sub
scribers therefor. These monthly sup
, plements are compiled from the daily
bulletins published by the Post Office
Department. and chronicle every item
of informant pertinent to the con-
duct of the service.

other. through the operations of

the federal department. Uncle Sam is
preparing to increase his activities in
educational lines in each of the forty
eight states and prepare workers for
the more common occupations in which
the great mass Of American people t1hd
useful employment.
He plans to do this through the opera
lions Of the vocational education bill
which is scheduled to soon become a
law. the measure having already passed
the Senate of the United States by
unanimous vote. The proposed law
has also been favorably reported to the
House Of Representatives by the COM
mittee on education. 1t is scheduled to
come up for immediate and final action
when the short session Of Congress
convenes in December.

The proposed legislation is of q kind
that will be felt practically in every

Of the land. 1t is based upon the theory
that every occupation may be SO filled

. The plan of the bill is to promote,
through capable national leadership
and federal appropriation, vocational
education throughout the states. The
appropriations are divided into four
heads:
First. For the salaries of teachers.
supervisors and directors of agricul-
ture.
Second. For the salaries of teachers
of trade and industrial subjects.
Third. For the training of teachers of
agricultural, trade aand industrial and
home economics subjects.
Fourth For the work Of the federal
board for vocational education.
The funds are to be used by the fed
eral board for vocational education. to
administer the grants to the states and
to furnish information and to give stimu-
lus to vocational education.
The appropriation carried by the bill for
the salaries of teachers, supervisors and
directors of agriculture is, for the first
year., 100000, to be increased S250,000
each year until the total reaches S2,000.-
900, and then to be increased 100000
each year for two years until the appro-
priation reaches 100000, which will
probably be in 1924 and 1925. and annually
thereafter the sum Of 100000.
The appropriations for the salaries of
teachers of trade and industrial subjects
is the same as that for agriculture.
The appropriation for the training of
teachers of agriculture. trade, industrial
and home economics subjects is to be for
the first year 100000, and to increase

She seized his hands and put them
against hot cheek and held them there.
II wonder if you've considered my posi-
ton as much as your own?' she asked,
with nervous smile.
"He's twisted you around his little fin-
ger, Lou-the way he wants to twist me-"
replied Eadbrook. II tell you, he's
cruel, unprincipled man, Lou. You can't

You can't understand. It's matter Of

playing you against me-

Eadbrook took up his hat. But he
stood irresolutely for moment, and so
fell victim to the temptation to force the
issue.
"Im going he said. "But I'm not
going to play the coward, Lou. Joel and
Henry and Starr have started things by
now. By tonight everybodyll know
that there's going to be new kind of
Boxton. If you love me you'll stand
with me. Good-by."
He left the room without another word.
The tears stood in her eyes as she watched
him go. She felt powerful impulse to
call him back, but she disobeyed it. A
little tinge of bitterness, unlike anything
she had ever felt in her life, came into her
heart. "He wouldn't want to give up a
bit to me- she thought Then she WON
dered if she had been unreasonable. She
heard his voice at the door outside, and
she ran quickly to the dining-room door
and listened. Aunt Lyddy was saying:
"Please don't do anything to cross him,
Walter. He's good man at heart. Peo-
pie are terribly wrong about him. They
don't understand him. Only you mustn't
cross him."
The girls heart beat fast as she heard
the reply:
"Why do you let him tread on you,
Aunt Lyddy? He simply rides rough

Nobody treads on me, Walter" was
the reply, with a patient little remon-

pressionOf soberness that matched his own.
3Trouble?" she repeated after him.
"You make me frightened, Walter. Tell
me, quick"
"Do you know why your-why Ezra

measuring his words carefully.
"Why-I don't know whether do or
not" she replied, looking into his eyes.

"That is, you don't know all. He wants

1t would be money in his pocket. l guess
it's just sheer cussedness; and that's what
everybody else thinks. But you see what
he wanted Of me, anyway. l told him l
wouldn't consider it-not for anything"
"What did he say to that?' she asked
breathlessly.
"He didn't say much, but he limited
something that made my blood run cold,"
was the reply. @He limited that he'd
stand in our way-that he would can't
tell you, Louise! It's too outrageous. He
has no right to consider you as something
to offer and refuse like that. l told him
so. Wasn't right. Would you have had
me say anything else? Would you have me
go back on my friends? Tell me- dear"
TT was clear that Eadbrook in his soar
ing idealsm of the moment, was expect
ing from the girl nothing less than
complete vindication of the position he
had taken. He looked for a reward for
his uprightness; he wanted to hear that
he was wholly and praiseworthily right.
That was why the girls reply shocked
him. She looked at him with clear, APP
praising eyes and said:
"But is it worth making such fuss
over, Walter? After all, may not dad be
right and your friends wrong? Have you
tried to understand dads point of view?"
Eadbrook gazed at her, stupefed. @You
don't understand" he told her.
4Why, of course may not understand
it ALL" she admitted. "But it seems to
me that dad thinks one thing and your
friends think another, and they can't
agree. Dad wants you to consider his
side little. He's angry, no doubt, just
as you would be if some stranger came to
town when you were as old as dad is, and
wanted to impose his ideas on you. You
think he's terribly mean old man, and
so do most other people; but l never
knew him to do single dishonest thing,
Walter, never. He's very stern, and very
set in his ways, but
ooh, you simply couldn't understand"
interrupted Eadbrook II don't expect
you to, little girl. Women don't see the
things we do"
Il wonder if you understand some of
the things women do?" replied the girl
gently. II know that dad and Aunt
Lyddy have always been very good to
me- They brought me up, and educated
me, and have always done everything for
me, and they have right to expect that

The Home news., 1916-10-13

A little girl described this man as "The fellow who is lots of folks. It was so apt that it is used here to introduce MT. Plum stead as man capable of delin- eating character. When he leaves the platform one feels that he has been in the presence of a group of people all different, but each perfectly represented by the many sided genius of Plumstead. He is from Detroit, Mich, and has been on the plat form for many years always in demand and always satisfactory. In the afternoon he gives some humorous sketches of people we have either met or read about, such as the boy and the buck wheat cakes" The English dude," and 'the fellow and the girl who compells her sweetheart to wait while she puts up her hair At night his program is given in costume when he tells about Uncle Ezra singing bass in the church choir. He gives a thrilling representation of J. T. Trowbridge ''The Vagabond" or describes the worn out actor on Broadway and his observations on his triumps in the past. His sketches of the silly boy are hu- morous in the extreme. In fact, Mir. Plumstead can't help being funny. He looks on the bright side of life, and leaves his audi ence in a happy mood. In addi- tion to this gift, he is an artist in his portrayal of human eccen- tricities. See him tomorrow, Saturday, at the Chautauqua.
