Vocational Classes?Why Yes,
In Everything But Embalming

Walter Hough. Rene Samson and Miss
Louise Cults Powell, B. 8.
It is not the quantity of the work be-
ing done in the various vocational groups
which makes the movement particularly
noteworthy, but the intensity or quality
of 1t. For 1t must be remembered this
is entirely outside of the regular classes.
The curriculum of the school is in no
wise changed.
The lectures are given In what Is
known as a special morning study period,
while all other instruction or collateral
reading is done after school hours. Yet
this condition In no way impairs the
value OF the training. On the contrary,
the vocational work kindles renewed in
terest in the scheduled studies which the
student pursues, while on the other hand
the compulsory work is made much more
ineligible and interesting through the
injection of the vocational feature.
No Individual examinations have been
made as yet to determine what trade or
profession the pupil is most talented to
pursue. The time is not far of, however
Prof. Davis asserted, before this angle
Of the problem will be given the attention
1t deserves
Prof. Davis explained that there had
been no change In customary nomencla-
ture. That is, pupils are still pupils are
not ''vocationalettes." Also, no one as
yet has essayed to address him as the
"vocationalator."
Teachers there have qualified them
selves to teach this special work. in MANY
cases, by taking special courses during
the summer months in the subject as
signed to them to teach.
Beginning with the February term, the
pupils will have the same instructor
throughout their entire course This plan.
Prof Davis emphasized, will effect a moro
intimate understanding between the pu-
pill and his instructor and will bear real
results"
What of its future?'
Prof. Davis repeated the question.
why, bless my heart, 1t mas no past.
1t is a great movement, one which should
be investigated by every thinking man,
but as for its future I would not venture
to make prediction. This feature Of vo-
cational training is only In Its infancy.
But I might add it is proving a mighty
healthy infant"

Of the preacher to speak on all questions

Church Should Help in Fight.
The majority Of our people are strug-
Cling for the necessities of life. Every
preacher and every church in the DIS
trict should get into the arena and help
the employees of the government and the
District in their battle for higher wages.
If all our preachers, all our churches,
and all who love justice would unite In
this common cause and go to the very
door of Congress with the demand that
men be paid living wage, something
would be accomplished. A church that
will not fght for the people and preach
er who will not use his pulpit to get JUS
tice for men are not fit for a place In
the Christian world. One reason per-
haps why so many of our people are not
in the churches is that We preachers have
not inte5ested ourselves in the temporal
affairs of men.

kitchens established throughout the
German empire since the beginning Of
the war would now be able to supply
food for about one-fourth of the pop
ulation. according TO statement pub
lished by the German war Office. 1t
would appear from this statement that
there was 2,200 such establishments
in. the empire and that their ordinary
capacity amounted to the production
in a recent month of 100000 quarts
OF food.
There are in the German empire
/ 56S communes having 10000 or more
inhabitants each Only about fifty of
these now are without public kitch-
ems. The majority Of towns report
establishments providing midday din
ners only. although all the kitchens
are equipped for supplying at least
! Two meals daily.
In Berlin there are now &C public
kitchens. The number Of persons who
obtain food from them fuctuates in &
