HELPING BOYS TO
HELP THEMSELVES
Success Attending Local Drafting
Schools, That at Pusry 8
Jones in Particular.

Probably few Wilmington citizens are
aware of the excellence Of the work being
done by the cooperative evening school
conducted by the Board al Education at
the Pusey 4 Jones plant. These classes,
which have been conducted for several
winters. are under the Immediate super
vision of the Supervisor for Industrial
Education, A. Edward Rhodes, but have
been possible only through the generous
policy of the Pussy q Jones Co, not only
in the education of its own employees
but in furnishing the room and equipment
for public instruction TO which any of the
city's boys and men have been eligible.
For many years it bad been the practice
of the management OF this firm to give
substantial assistance to such of its appre-
tees as were willing 10 make an invest
ment in education by attending the avail
able evening technical schools. In order
10 make such work as valuable TO the boys
MS it should be, 1T was decided few years
ago to open the large drafting room for
evening classes and to buy the necessary
equipment 50 that the boys would not
need TO furnish their own. Since this WAS
Just the kind of work which the State
Board for Vocational Education is trying
to promote, il was taken under the control
of the Wilmington School Department and
became entitled TO State aid for the teach
ers salaries.
Since there have been no public funds
available except for salaries, the entire
expense OF equipment housing and materi-
ais has been borne by the Pussy 4 Jones
Co The best equipment obtainable has
been purchased at cost of upwards of
81 900 and reserved entirely for the use
OF the evening school, no employee having
a. ~ .,r tn, gf.InrI,I
manner in which this has all been brought
about is due To tho untiring efforts OF
the man who is responsible for all the
educational advantages enjoyed by the
boys in this plant, g.. l.. Coppage, tho
production manager and supervisor OF
apprentices
While this il only one of the evening
drafting classes conducted by the city.
the bows who have been registered here
have cnjoVcd several disrinct advantages.
10 which they were fully entitled he-
cause this has always been school pri-
MARTY for the training OF craftsmen, where
as the other classes have contained for
the most part groups OF Young men en-.
gagged IN mechanical trades and taking
drafting and mathematics IS related IN a
way TO the learning of
the trade OF these ad vsntages pcrhap
the greatest has been the nature not only
of the equipment provid ed. but the very
of the room in which the class
meets Surrounded bv all the engineering
data Of this department OF large plan
and taught by the men who IN the day
time are responsible for the getting out
OF the designs and estimates. the boys
have had instruction conditions which
very few communities have found il
possible to offer.

The Bureau Of Vocational Education
believes that Wilmington should be proud
of what has been done in this school. "a
in the other evening schools, but the full
value Of this work will be evident only
when it helps to show what can he done
by the cooperation of the manufactures
and the public school when both have n

that sooner or later an organization will be
effected to bring about such cooperation
to large degree and To establish per

THE FRENCH INVASION OF GER
MANY.

While too much significance should
not be attached to the French military
movement in western Germany at the
present time, it is undoubtedly true
that the occupation of more German
cities and the thrusting of the allied
wedge further into Germany is an
event of considerable Importance. The
German government maintains control
of the territory east of the Rhine river
and believes that territory just as
much a part of its domain as Prussia
itself. hence for foreign foe to enter
upon that territory and virtually dom
mate the government is in itself
| matter of national humiliation and dis
grace, There might, indeed, be a very
strong spirit of resentment over inva-
sion by armed forces of nation, which
was so recently at war with Germany
The army of occupation would. per-
haps, be looked upon with hatred just
/ as we Americans Woulu cOHSlVSA az
army of invasion on our own soil II we
should happen to be conquered ma
ton. So the action of France under
direction of the government and under
leadership of Marshal Foch on the held
OF activity is rather bold stroke.
Yet bold as is that stroke and preg-
nant of serious consequences, there can
not help being feeling of satisfaction
throughout most of the allied world
that the stage of action has come IN
forcing Germany to respect the terms
Of the treaty of Versailles. For a year
and half it has been stage OF note
writing, arguing and persuading in an
effort to get Germany to live up to the
agreement signed at Versailles; and no
great deal of good seems to have been
accomplished by those methods, Ger
many continuing about as arrogant to-
ward the allies as formerly. Now the
sword shakes in the scabbard. Pos
sibly Germany will recognize the sound.

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
Another for Hoover.

Editor, Times: | am another hearty
believer in Herbert Hoover; he is not a
snowy fellow; we are told that he is
rather unpretentious and unimpressive
in his manner and speech, man OF few
words, a good listener but when the
time comes to act there is no hesitation
whatever.
Ex-Gov. Mccall has pointed out in
words something like this, I'VE have
had in this country too many men gift
ed in the ignoble art Of high-sounding
speech. What we need to-day is man
who saws little and does something.
We need men of action, men who are
not eternally waiting, like our good
friend, Micswber, for something to
turn up"
When we consider the present state
of social, political and economic chaos
that is spreading over the nations OF
Europe and parts of our own country
as well. is il any wonder that the PEG
pie are crying out for leadership! What
Is the outcome to be- Where are WI
drifting!
Mr.. Hoover has the vision, the organ
izing ability, the tact and the decision
in fact he seems supremely fitted e
lead us in this great crisis in our his
tory, crisis which may bid good Of
evil for our future peace and prosper
ity.

That is the least that we can do, il

wiki are OF the ripping, tearing sort,
striking terror into the hearts OF their
opponents and winning victories IN
mart because of their sheer braggado-
clio; but when they go up against a
determined foe, trained in military
maneuvers and conscious OF certain
superiority gained through victory IN
great clash between the two peoples,
the bolsheyiki are inclined to lay down
their fighting playthings and make the
best terms possible. The encounter be-
tween Japanese and bolsheviki forces
in Vladivostok shows that the bolshe-
wiki military terror is more or less
imaginary and could be put down by a
real movement providing there was
plenty of money available for cam
paign of such futility.

Germany has turned over 1888 loco
motives to France in accordance with
the terms of the treaty. Such items
as this are interesting now and then
to drive away the suspicion that Ger
many is repudiating the various obliga-
tions of the treaty. No statement has
been made up to the present time in
the United States as to the extent
with which Germany has complied with
the demands of the allies; but there is
strong belief that Germany is yet
holden for the completion of the great
er part of the contract, by far the
greater part. Such action as surren-
lering 1858 locomotives is but a very
small percentage of the obligation,
However, there is some reinsurance in
The information that Germany is doing
that much toward living up to her OBJ
