DENY THAT TIVE BRITISH VOTING SECTION DOOMED Vice President is Called Back for First Real Treaty
 Vote.
MILD RESERVATIONISTS
 CLAIM POWER BALANCE
Hitchcock Says Effort Will Be Made To Hasten Treaty Because of Demand from Business
 People.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Democra- tic leaders in the senate challenged today the claim of republican oppon- ents of the League of Nations GOV enant that enough pledges had been obtained to secure adoption of Sen ator Johnson's amendment designed to equalize British and American voting power in the League assem- ply. While they expressed supreme fifty votes against the amendment enought to defeat it these senators finally got in touch with Vice-P Pre- sident Marshall insisting that he re- turn in time for the first real vote on the treaty expected next week.
 The message to the vice president was sent after Senators Hitchcock, :, Swanson, of Virginia, Walsh of Montana, and other democrats, had discussed the situation at length. They agreed, it was said, that while the vice-president might not need to exercise his right of voting to break tie, it would not hurt to have him in the chair.
 Mild" reservationists, some of whom claimed to hold the balance of power, were active, conferring and counting noses to see how many of their number would vote against the Johnson amendment. Some of their claims ran as hish as eight.
 Both sides were expecting help from this group, but there was no certainty as to how the majority( might line up.
 Senator Hitchcock said today that every effort would be made to has ten consideration 1of the treaty be- cause of the "insistent demand" from business people for final set clement. There was no indication, however, as to how soon a vote might be called for on the Johnson amendment, which will be the first test of strength. This may be ex- pected just as soon as one side or the other figures that the time is ripe from its: standpoint.

A WORTHY INSTITUTION

Like the night schools that recently closed for the season, the
county vocational school in Bertrand avenue has been little heard of
until the exercises that were held there a few nights ago called public
attention to the institution and gave a number Of people an opportun-
ity to inspect the plant (or it is really more of an industrial plant
than it is a school) 4
Few people have any idea of the equipment at this vocational
school, and the character of work turned out by the students amazed
those who saw it for the first time.
Training the hands as well as the brain, or, better still, training
the hands to work with the brain, is a most important development in
the matter Of education. The success Of these vocational schools
wherever they have been established has proven their worth thous-
ands of American youth have gone out into the world prepared to play
an important part along lines best adapted for them whereas, before
the days of vocational training, they were turned adrift for themselves
without knowledge Of what they were best fitted to do and so often
they failed to find their proper sphere until it was too late for them to
attain the position that otherwise would have been theirs.
The boy who likes to work with tools rather than stuff his brain
with learning that is essential only to a man who expects to follow one
or the other of the professions or who is going into business is given
an equal chance to make good, and the man who makes good in the
trades is not only a decided success himself, but becomes a most use
full citizen.
Perth Amboy Is fortunate in having such an institution as the
vocational school where boys, not only from this city but from all sur
rounding towns, may go and receive a training that will send them
forth into the world fully equipped to make a reputation for them
selves. 1t would be well worth the while of the parents of this section
TO visit the school in Bertrand avenue and get acquainted with the
work that Is being doe thera
