Edison says there are or could be
plenty OF $4,000 jobs in this country
but there is great scarcity OF men
of sufficient caliber to fill such
penings. The main quality for success
in his estimation is ambition and a
will to work.
Nobody Blamed
! Suits Tor 81 100000 against the city
of Chicago have been eliminated by
late decision in the case Of one
administrator for one of the victims of
that terrible disaster OF the East and
which SO suddenly and so strangely
listed and sank right at the wharf !
years ago and drowned 700 passengers.
| The suit was brought against the city
as blamable for distractions in the
| Chicago River which it is said might
have been the cause of the accident
though at the time there was much
speculation regarding it and also why
rescue work was not more complete.

The Scout Master
The best movement we have yet
seen regarding Boy Scout enterprises
is the program just announced for
opening four big national centres for
the expert training OF scout executives
if it will include some special train
ing for the volunteer scout leader
too, who comes in such close touch
with the boys at their most impress
sionable age and in affairs so vital
to their ambitions and their pleas
ures. at that time. The scout master
has tremendous influence and his
character and his standards for the
boys should be most carefully consid-
cred and results most carefully watch
ed that the boy scouts should be in
practice what they are in theory which
is too often not the case.

Visual Education
With automobile accidents on a
startling increase all over the coun-
try the plan of one city Judge might
well be followed generally and this
is to let the speeders have as part
of their penalty a visit to the hospital
where dozens of little children MAIN
ed for life by other speed fiends will
be shown them as visual lesson and
warning. This judge announces that
the next bunch of speed vioIators will
be taken to the morgue also that the
grim tragedy of accident may be pic
tured in their minds when they go to
jail with time to reflect upon their
folly. Surely no longer will anv
court or judge consider the ends OF
justice met with fine no matter how
large. Here if ever should punishment
be retributive.
