That's What DIR. Schaeffer Tells
Vocational Instructors.
LEARNS TO SPEED UP
War Has Made LabOrerS More
Up to the Minute.
Competition Will Be Keen
When Peace Comes.

The time has passed when Ameri-
can workmen can safely be put into
competition with those of England
and the continent, according to Nathan
c. Schaeffer, state superintendent of
public instruction for Pennsylvania,
who spoke this afternoon at the man
ual arts round table on Vocational
Education
The war has brought about a
change, MIR. Schaeffer believes, and
under the stress of necessity the Euro
pean has learned to work at a maxi
mum of speed and efficiency.
The Smith Hughes bill which APP
propriates large sums of money for
vocational education shows that the
federal government realizes the kind
of competition by which we shall be
confronted when this war comes to
an end.
Within the past year the govern
is the most efficient agency for reach
ing the American people.
The census lists 522 different oc-
equations by which our people man
age to earn a livelihood. Sometimes
several allied occupations are given
under one caption. If all the different
trades were counted separately, we
would get about 800 different voca-
tions for which the school is asked to
prepare its pupils.
Aim of Schools.
It has been well said that the school
which does not put a larger loaf upon
the family table, is from one point of
view 4 failure. The school should aim
to fit for life as well as to earn a live
lihood. Indirectly the school achieves
this end when it instills the school

a job or act his part in the social and
industrial world.

| and handicrafts: The fundamental
tools in woodworking and other indus
tries may be- brought to the attention
of the pupil SO that he can learn how
to use them. He can be taught to
put brains into the hands by which he
earns his livelihood.
The school should be so organized
as not to become a funnel, gathering
the boys and girls from a wide area
and shooting them into two or three
! occupations. Nor is it worth while to
train for the unskilled vocations
These the boy leaves as soon as an
other is ready to take his place The
industrial school should furnish him
guidance and vision so that he may

superintendent of the Kansas State
Agricultural college poultry plant.
The goose especially is easily fat
tened. The old-time method was to
tie several geese to a stake in some
quiet shady place and give all the
finely ground grains they would eat
readily. In from one week to ten days
the birds would put on large amounts
of fat at a small outlay for grain. In
recent years it has been the custom to
place few geese in a small yard with
ample shade. A wet mash composed
of go per cent finely ground corn
meal, 80 per cent shorts, and IL per

President Wilson favors immediate

administration. Confused interests
arising from lack of proper co-ordina-

Americas hands-off policy with re-

demands of the various allies have
added to unfortunate conditions and
delays. Grim necessity, however, has
forced a change, and America, in the
future, while not bound by any al
lance with her co-belligerents, will
work in closer unison toward a more
rapid overthrow of German militar
ism. Americas part in the general
program will be clearly defined at the
conference, so this government can
