Street Commissioner and Engineer
Varney is taking time by the forelock
in getting ready for the spring work on
the highways and is already hauling
gravel and getting ready for repairing
Riverside Drive. The gravel is secured
at the f. d. McDavid bank on the west
side Of the river above the Augusta dam
and is hauled across the river on the
ice and stacked on the east side from
Pettengilrs Corner to the Dorsey farm
on Riverside Drive. The amount OF road
to be re-surfaced between these two
points 10 about 5000 feet and work will
be commenced as soon as the snow is
gone. The work Of getting the gravel
across the river on the ice saves quite
an item in the way of expense and does
away with a lot of long hauling which
would have to be done were the work
until after the ice goes out.

Austen Alden, the manual training
teacher at Cony, who is advocating and
has prepared an industrial course for
high school pupils. says in regard to
the value of such a course to the av
erage pupil: AN industrial high
school course means that boy can
earn s721 more a week after he has
graduated" according to Prof. F. G.
Bonser of Columbia University, who
lectured on Vocational Guidance" re-
Gently before the department Of edu-
cation at Boston University. A boy
can earn S2.9S more week If he fin
ishes the Sth grade than if he leaves
school earlier, according TO Prof. Bon
ser. The figures are based upon the
wages and salaries earned by a repre-
sentative group of Pittsburg young
men. Those who left school before
completing the sth grade are now earn
ing an average salary Of 1925 week
Those who finished the Sth grade and
then left are getting s16.22 week. The
few who continued to the end of the
high school course are averaging S23.41
per week Algebra and geometry are
very little use after leaving school.
except to boys who are going into pro-
LESSONS where these branches Of math-
ematics are distinctly involved, Prof.
Bonser declared. He said that he would
substitute for algebra and geometry
the study Of inventions and the lives
Of the inventors. He based his critf-
cism upon the result of inquiries made
of 19t Young mer who had studied al
cobra and geometry 1T school Only
