WRONG IN TENDENCY


The vocational training bill which
Senator Page takes so much pride in
has passed the Senate and seems in
fair way to become a law. We know
little about this particular bin but the
general vocational education plan is
vicious and dangerous in its general
idea and never ought to have seen the
light OF day.
Under its ordinary provisions i'm
mense sums of money in the aggregate
viii be drawn from the federal treas
ury and peddled around in small sums
but the bulk OF 1t will 80 in the long
run TO the big states and the Vermont
share will be only teaspoonful
1T is enc of those things which add
to the enormously increasing expenses
OF the United States government
which is daily adding to the burdens
of the American people Not only is
it an uniustilied addition to the load
of taxation, but the purpose sought is
wrong in principle and evil in its eff
feet;
| 1t should not be COMPOUNDED with
| manual training and domestic science
which is simply teaching the boys to
be efficient with their hands, often
able to do for themselves instead OF
calling an artisan, and teaches the
girls few OF the essentials which sc
to the making of home.
Vocational training means in the fin
al analysis the teaching of trades il
the public schools and in effect fxml
the status Of persons in life while they
are yet children 1t would tend t
perpetuate classes OF people, to bull,
up an aristocracy and to keep III,
. young and ambitious from rising il
life.
We do not want boys graduates
from the public schools as black
smiths, printers, painters farmers
etc, and perhaps fixed there for life
J We do not want our girls transferred
directly from school to life jobs a
cooks, sewing women, milliners, o
stenographors. We want our boy
and girls to get as much cultural odJ
T cation as possible in school combine
with sane practical training l.
essentials. We want them to come ou
s OF school with the whole world befor
them and an ambition TO rise in it,
This particular bill Isn't big enous
in its scope to be as vicious as
might, but the trend Of the idea
wrong to the future generations Of tn
United States. 1t is a step backwar,
It's tendency would be to Prussiani2
the United Statcs-to fix the chlldre
in the same social and Industrial elias
as that of their fathers and TO hol
them there for the benefit Of the rio
\ and the lordly. Do the plain poopl
4 of Vermont want this tendency tran
Z planted here from autocratic Russ
L ana from bureaucratic Germany?

A rich strike of ore is reported on
the 200-foot level in the Maid of Sun
shine mine near Courtland.
At Oatman the Arizona Central, at
a depth of $50 feet in the shaft, struck
what is believed to be feeder to the
main vein.
The Wallapai Metals Company has
started development work on it's prop
erty about fourteen miles east of
Kingman, near the Telluride Chief,
and the Enterprise mines.
simultaneously with the installation
of centrifugal gold separator, and
the starting up of it's mill, comes the
information that the Gold Dust mine
has made big strike at Oatman.
A rich strike seems probable at the
GoldrOad Bonanza at Oatman. At
first there were few stringers in the
crosscut, but now the andesite pans
SO many colors as to classify it almost
as ore.

of ore, producing 1000 pounds of gold

An important copper strike has
been made by F. G. Smith of Ell Paso

has now face of ore eight feet wide
in the stope, about 300 feet in from
