ton schools, or, as it viii be known in
the future, the National Association of
Corporation training, has l54 members,
some of the largest concerns
in the country. F. G. Henderschott, man
aging director of the association, places
the combined capital of the membership
at close to $4,000, 100000 and the number
of employees at between 100000 and
100000. There are approximately 100000
employed in the steel business; the
American Telephone and Telegraph Co..
employs about 100000, and the Interna
tional Harvester Co. has about 10000.
The formation of the American Insti-
tuition of Industry and Commerce will
represent the first long step taken by a
group of employers to improve their re-
lations with the workers, according to
Mr. Henderschott. The association has
undertaken no definite stand on relations
between capital and labor, but has sought
to place in the hands of its members all
the information necessary for the deter
mination of a policy. As developments
of its work, the organization will estab-
Ilish a laboratory in which men may be
trained as personnel and employment
managers, a training which has not been
furnished hitherto by the colleges and
universities.
-Four sites are now being considered for
the new institute: Buffalo, Niagara
Falls, Pittsburgh and New York. More
than so per cent of the plants of mem
bers are north of the Potomac and east
/ of the Mississippi. The program calls
for the expenditure of at least 100000
a year for the next three years, and it
may be found desirable to add millions
to this sum, depending upon the value of
the work accomplished.
| In the articles of incorporation the fol-
! lowing objects of the institution are set
forth:
THE particular object of the institu-
ton is the founding of an organization
that shall contribute in every way posi-
bic to the mutual benefits of all con-
cerned in industrial and commercial en-
terprises; to develop the efficiency of the
individual employee and to coordinate his
best interests with those of employers
to develop the highest standards of eff.
cheney in industrial operations; to have
courses in established educational insti
buttons expanded to meet more fully tbs
needs of industry and commerce, and tc
encourage all branches of literature, sci
enee and art or any of them that pertain
to industry and commerce"
The institution also proposes to con
duct and endow investigation in matter:
relating to commerce and industry, to the
! personnel relations of industry, and te
contribute to the economic and socia
peace and happiness and welfare of those
engaged in industry.

SUSPEND 81 AUTO LICENSES.
Secretary of State Has Restored So
No Crossing Fatalities.

MONTPELIER, Aug. 20. = Ninety
seven motor licenses were suspended for
cause by Secretary of State Harry A.
Black for the year up to yesterday. OF
his number 80 have been restored, leav-
ing a balance of 81 who have been wholly
deprived of the privilege of operating
car.
This number is believed to be about
The same as last year at the corresponds
ing period. For the entire year of 1919,
100 licenses were suspended
Perhaps no state in the Union makes
as many suspensions according TO the
number of licenses in operation as does
Vermont. This is not for the reason
there are more accidents in Vermont
than elsewhere but closer attention is
given to the subject, and suspension OF
licenses is believed to have a greater
influence for good than penalties and
fines which are inflicted also in many
| necessary cases.
Up to the present time there have
no fatalities on railroad crossings Last
year FIVE had been killed on crossings
to August 10, and ten for the year.
The total of deaths in motor accidents
to date is II in Vermont and two in
Vermont cars outside the state. The
record for last year was %.
Cars are being registered at the rate
Of 60 day. There are 26,663 pleasure
and 1926 commercial cars registered. SO.
255 operators licenses and S524,7l9 has
been collected in fees.

SCHOOL HEADS GET
SET FOR The GONG

Although 90 days remain until
school begins in Richmond, school
principals, the chool board and super
intendents Of schools are feverishbly
working to have things in readiness.
N. c. Heironimus, of Garfield Junior
high school, is perplexed as to how to
handle the expected large increase In
enrolment. Heironimus is expecting
800 this fall. The 1919 enrolment, the
largest in history Of the school, was
615.
There are no more available rooms
to increase the number of classes.
The only alternative, he says, is to in
crease the size OF classes.
Although technically the ninth year
Of school will be senior year for the
Junior high school, the grade will be
quartered in high school building un-
til completion of the new junior high
school building. It will be in charge
Of Principal Bate, Of high school.
