publicans, representing every part
Of the county, were present when
Chairman Ferris called the mass
meeting to order at the opera house
last Tuesday afternoon, 1t truly
represented an old time republican
meeting.
DIR. F. W. Burke was chairman
and after a few remarks took up
the order of business as formed by
the county committee.
Judge Seldom P. Spencer of st.
Louis, candidate for the republican
nomination for United States SEN
ator, not being able to be present,
was represented by his law partner
Hon. Morris G. Donnell, who de-
livered an eloquent address that
was Hooper cent American from
start to finish and was enthusias-
ticaIly received.
The report of the committee on
resolutions was called for and
Chairman Geo. W. Martin of that
committee, read the following re.
port which was unanimously
adopted:
We. Republicans of Linn county,
gathered together here at the boy
hood homo of the commander OF a
million American soldiers, who
are on the battle line across the
sea; to the end that not only in
our own country but to the
liberty loving people of all nations,
the right of life, liberty and the
pnrsnit of happiness" shall be as
sured for all time to come; we
here solemnly pledge our loyal
support-even to the last man and
to the last dollar if needs be-for
every measure of the war against
autocratic rule.
While party ties, party as
sociation, party issues now con-
fronting this nation, and the
nations of the world, sink into
utter insignificance, we do not for
get that the Republican party has
at all times and under all circum-
stances been an American party,
standing for America first,
American rights, American in
terests and American prosperity.
The nation has need OF the
Republican party. 1t has needed
it in the past, it needs it now. 1t
will need it in the future when
peace shall come, and changed
economic and commercial con-
ditions will require wise, far-seeing
craftsmanship in dealing with the
new problems that will arise.
For these reasons and through
no spirit of partisanship we meet
today as Republicans and as one
hundred per cent Americans, and
do our part in helping to maintain
the organization of the Republican
party by placing a Republican
ticket for the county Offices in the
field.
We condemn the veiled effort of
the state authorities to increase
the burdens Of the Taxpayers
under the specious plea of equal
izing the valuations Of taxable
property. and we doubt if the
performances Of the promise Of
reducing rates of taxation will be
equal to the promise.
We are unalterabIy opposed to
the adoption Of that abOminatiOn,

ment to the State Constitution, 90

might be the business of a lawyer, doctor, a preacher, a business an unsked laborer
 It is said that only ten per cent of the pupils who pass through the grammar grades the high school small percentage of that number finish the high school course and large majority of them enter the ranks of unskilled labor Of those who go to college comparatively few with defi- nite purpose, and broadly, it may be said, of them, with training in any direction. At the best they have laid only a general foundation and the foundation is not always good frequently is never built upon and could not be built upon. Many a good carpenter farmer blacksmith has been spoiled.
 Nothing herein is to be construed word against college training, the high school course We mean only that college training is often wasted when little investigation such vocational train ing affords would have been warning against years of wasted effort and would have guided the pupil into early usefulness.

Vocational Training

It has not been an easy matter to apply the Smith Hughes bill to the schools of Arizona. The Smith Hughes bill provides vocational training in the public schools that is, high schools normal schools and colleges On the basis of the population of 1910 it appropriates to such states will appro priate equal for the same purpose, a cer- tain The allotment for Arizona on this basis s15.oOO and the legislature at the last session appropriated that amount. All the states believe, except Rhode Island, have availed themselves of this act
 The state board of education some months ago created organization to put this act into sffect.. The act provides for vocational edu- cation in the subjects of agriculture, manual training and domestic science The law imposes cer- tain conditions with which the schools desiring to participate in this fund must comply. They must have prescribed of study, certain equipment and minimum classes in the vocational branches that is, classes of not less than six pupils.
 The law further divides the amount to be expended in vocational training, that is the amount allotted by the federal government and that appropriated by the legislature, the branches, again based on tho Under this division. for instance, only sieo00 be applied to the teaching of agriculture in this state this year. and every year until 1920, when the will disclose the growing prepon- dersnce of that industry since 1910.
 Tn order that a school may participate in the allotment for agricultural education it have has been stated, class of at least six, taking that subject Tn a school week of thirty hours, fifteen hours must be devoted to this subject and hours to related subjects such applied chemistry, etc. other subjects coming under the law are disposed of in like manner. It is stated that present of the twenty eight high schools in the state prepared 10 avail themselves of the act though Of them may be in better position next year.
 The Smith-Hughes law passed in 1910 was the elimination of movement which educators had advo- csted for ten years. though the laity taken little interest in it. Though enacted seven years before we went to it has became really war measure designed to condition brought upon us by the war. There never great need, and a need which will steadily increase, for specially trained and women when they come out of the schools.
 We may get an idea of the old theory of educa- ton from the single word commencement" which signifed the deliverance of high school pupil college It meant that only foundation had been laid upon which any sort of a structu suitable not, might be built. The graduate how ready o commence learn the real business of life; that
