Choosing a lifework is one of the
most difficult as well as one Of the
most important things in life. Ninety
per cent of our young people start
out without chart or compass ana
without having taken serious ana
careful thought of the direction in
which they should go. Two million
American hoboes and many million
American misfits measure a loss 10
the nation in efficiency beside which
the expenditure for a larger navy Is
paltry. There should be some better
more efficient way Of guiding the
young people in the choice Of Vo-
cation than the blind alley job plan.
Beniamin Franklin's father took his
son to visit joiners, bricklayers, turn
ers, braziers, etc, in order that ne
might observe his inclination and en-
deavor to fix it on some trade. his
action was most commcndable but 1t
would be impossible in these days
Of specialized industry for a father
to give his son very wide range oil
choice ever if he had the time and the
inclination to do so.
There is need for vocational infor-
nation, or helpful guidance, and for
stimulation Of interest in this vital
problem and there is no agency bet
ter equipped than the public schools
to cooperate with parents, pupils and
business men in collecting and in dis
seminating the information necessary
to make the entire community IN
terested and helpful in the problem
of the choice of vocation Of It's young
people.
The Opportunity School
This is the purpose in mind in es-
tablishing in the local schools a spec
ial program to be known as the "Op-
portunity School" 1t is first to be
offered to the boys of the seventh,
eighth, and ninth grades, which will
insure two years of vocational study
before the grades are completed and
one year following, which will tend to
bridge the gap between the grades
and the high school and will lead to
better choice of high school work.
This will be known as the Junior
Opportunity School and will rot pre-
elude the organization of a senior
school of older school boys and young
men about town If interest is shown
in such organization.
The school will meet once or twice
. month in the high school building
Meetings will be on two or three

Board of Education Will Establish
Unique School

evening. Parents are especially in
vited to attend with the boys. The
first part of each session will consist
of talks on some particular vocation,
or group of vocations, the opportuni-
ties offered, advantages and disad-
vantages, training required, natural
ability needed, etc. These talks may
be made by men who are actually
engaged in the vocations discussed.
This will require cooperation on the
part of business and professional men
and it is believed that this will be
gladly given. The second hour of the
session will be given over to moving
pictures featuring the same vocation
or group of vocations studied during
the first hour. In the study of cleo
trical engineering, for example, it
will be possible to follow up the talks
with trip through the works of the
General Electric Co. Films ON Cen
Grafton of Power, Power Transmits
sion, Industrial Control by Electricity,
Panama Canal and its Electrical
Equipment, ELECTRICITY in the Mine,
Electric Heating, etc, will be avail
able for use. Similar programs will
be given probably twice each month
until the close Of school. No tut
ton will be charged. The United
States government provides the films
through the State Agricultural Col
lege and the service is free, except
for express on the films:
In addition to The vocational in
formation school described it is pro-
posed to foster an extension coopera-
tive school among local industries.
Most of these boys have had little
experience in connection with bust
ness, professional, or industrial lif,
and a little experimentation of a
practical kind and a little association
with competent men who would take
an interest in them would be very
valuable in connection with their en-
rollment i'll the opportunity school.

Twelve Year-Old Boy Wins the First
Prize in Feeding Contest at Inter
national Livestock Exposition

A prominent Chicago newspaper,
in commenting upon the recent In
ternational Live Stock Exposition,
called attention to the fact that the
hero of the stock show was a boy
twelve years old. Ralph Peak, of
Winchester, Illinois, won the first an
nual interstate boys and girls feed
ing contest. No one could dispute the
wisdom of the judges when the boy
led forth the sleek baby steer which
was adorned with the blue ribbons.
The second place in the contest was
taken by boy from Iowa, the seventh
place by a girl from Iowa, whose
handled calf was a credit to the care
of his small mistress. The youngest
contestant was George Peak, the tiny
six-year-old brother of the blue rib

WAR BOARD STIR'S RAILROADS
TO GREATER EFFORT

Washington, November %: The
Railroads War Board today took
vigorous action to spur the railroads
to redoubled effort to increase their
efficiency in order to m ct the extra
ordinary demands for transportation
this winter. Fourteen specific in
structions as to additional methods
for increasing the capacity of their
equipment and facilities were issued
to the railroads of the country by
the War Board.
The War Board gives credit for a
great increase in traffic in the second
quarter of 1917 over the same per-
lod in 1916, thru cooperation OF
Government agencies, shippers and
the general public but considers it
necessary to direct attention to the
extraordinary additional amount of
transportation that the carriers will
be called on to supply this winter
through the operation of conditions
that have developed since our entry
into the War, the pressure from
which is constantly and rapidly in
creasing in intensity. The command
eering of ships engaged in Atlantic
and Pacific coastwise trade, and of
seagoing tugs plying between New
port News and New England points
throws on the railroads the burden
OF transportation of much of the
New England coal and cotton supply
that formerly moved by water.
Many more troops, in addition to the
100000 already moved will have
to be transported, and at least $500
carloads of supplies for their use
The Monte Vista journal., 1917-12-01

must be handled daily this winter
Proper response to these demands,
and to the almost unlimited calls for
fuel from all parts of our country,
will require unremitting effort on the
part of the carriers.
The railroads generally are very
shorthanded, some of them report
.ng a net shortage of twelve and one
half per cent in the number, and a
much larger percentage of loss in the
efficiency of its employees because of
The necessity of filling vacancies with
ulskilled and inexperienced men.
