THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
l FTER about twenty-five years

~
N discussion of manual training,
vocational schools and practical
instruction the schoolroom where a
boy is taught to be his own carpenter
and girl to be her own dressmaker
or cook is part of the system devoted
to development of the youth of Penn
sylvania. Other States may have
been little earlier in putting such
schools into operation, but we have
raised them to high plane of eff
cheney and thousands of dollars are
being added annually to the school
taxes for such training, which. after
all, no one begrudges.
Thus far, it must be confessed, the
urban communities have gotten the
best of 1t. With more population,
more resources and more activity they
have brought about the creation of
some schools which are models, doing
a practical work of wonderful value
and adding to the productive capacity
of the youth. There are industrial
schools whose graduates are snapped
up and the demand for such establish
ments is naturally increasing.
In the country the vocational school
Is finding its home in the township
high school, but the funds in the rural
school districts are not adequate and
1t is going to be up to the next Legis-
lature to find some way to provide
more cash for such education. The
farmer boy has just as much right to
be taught how to mend his own wagon
and to build a silo as the city boy to
construct a window frame or to make
iron fence.
Those who toured the northern
counties with Governor Brumbaugh
last week were struck with the interest
being shown in the vocational school
idea in the country and came home
with the viewpoint of the dweller in
the fields more than they ever had
before.

Saved From the Discard
(From the Omaha Bee)

The elevation of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg to be chief of staff of
the German army Is but another step
in the remarkable progress of a man
who was slated for the discard but
a few years ago. 1t is related that
Won Hindenburg was marked for per-
manent retirement before the war
broke out. and was retained in service
only after he had made a personal
appeal to the emperor. The old gen.
eral and his East Prussian lakes were
a standing jest among the younger
members of the great war machine,
but events have proved him to be the
bulwark of Germany against the Rus
sian invasion. Without Won linden
burg and the swamps into which he
directed and the first incursion of the
Cossacks, the whole story of the pres
ent war had been different. His de-
fense of Prussia, ana his subsequent
onslaught that drove the Russians
back onto their own soil, are the most
notable achievements of Germany in
the war so far. On neither front has
another commander accomplished as
definite results as has Won Hinden-
burg. who has we'll earned his promo
tion.

the voters of Maine last Tuesday gave
