pills completing the course be offered
positions attractive enough in salary
and possibility of promotion to encour-
age others to take the same course.
Retailers and store superintendent
who have studied the new plan are en-
thusiastic over it, and believe it can be
made to work out to the advantage of
all concerned. Some of the largest
stores in the city are ready to do what
they can to make the course a success,
if the school board deems it advisable
to establish such a course. 1t would be
an experiment for the first two wears,
but those who have investigated the
project believe that improvements could
be made from time to time, and that at
the end of two years a satisfactory
course would have been developed

chants Want It.


PROVIDENCE, r. l., Aug. 9.-Rec-
concentrations have been made to the
Providence school board for the adop-
tion in the public schools of a course in
retail selling unlike those given else
where. The committee of department
stores of the Retail Merchants Division
of the Providence Chamber of Com
merce which advocates the plan, finds
that the method used III Boston is faul-
ty, in a lack of cooperation between
the retail stores and the public schools.
The Providence committee has there
fore mapped out an entirely new plan,
which, it is hoped, will benefit both the
retail stores and the women who wish to
learn retail selling. 1t is proposed that
interested students of the junior and
senior classes of the high schools be Civ
en- the opportunity to utilize the morn
ing for study of retail selling, and aft
ernoons for actual practice in retail
stores. The course would call for unit
ed action by retail merchants to make
the work, hours, remuneration, and
means of promotion such as to compete
favorably with other lines open to high
school graduates.
Under the proposed plan, course in
craftsmanship would be given, running
one double period each school day, and
supplemented by four hours each after
noon of actual practice in the various
stores of the city. Students would also
be sent through departments of the
! store considered essential for broad,
all-round training, but those who de-
sired to take the courses would first
have to obtain the agreement of retail
merchants to employ them at part time.
| When the pupils are graduated from
the retail selling course of the high
| school. they will be given credit for two
! years service in the store, and their
salary will be fixed accordingly.
Such plan it is said, would satisfy
most of the objections to the Boston
| plan, providing certain conditions nee
essary for success were met by the re-
| tail merchants of Providence The
! hours of work would eventually have to
be made as attractive in retail store
work as in Office work, for which pupils
have hitherto been prepared, and the re-
Enumeration would also have to be as
good as that of Office work The com
mittee remarks that opportunities for
regular advancement would have to be
open to all pupils who show ability in
the work for which they have been
trained.
The committee recommends an initial
wage of Sc for the first six months
$3.50 for the second six months, So foi
the next six, and $3.50 for the last halt
year. This weekly pay is figured for 9

PARIS, Aug. 9.-The presence. of
Premier Clemenceau at the first gem
eral assembly of the league of nations
at Washington is strongly urged in
American quarters, according to Mar

says his informant is French states
man.
NJ Hutin adds that, while, of course,
the premier "cannot bind himself to
go to America at the time when his
presence in France is particularly nee

things, and NJ Clemenceau will be I'M

As to the date of the assembly. it
IS said, an exchange of views between
the allied governments is now going
on. In some quarters there is some
sentiment in favor of q delaying the
meeting until well-arranged program
is drawn up, but Others, notably the
French express the opinion the gather
ing should be held this fall, so that a
program of guiding principles could be

the Negro would emerge from the ser

have simply been strengthened and
only the black soldiers health has
been broken down.
