New York. Feb. 15.-The tomb of
Pharaoh Tutcnkhamun. opened by ex-

Tombs of practically all the early
rulers of Egypt have been accounted

by native grave robbers, said Mr..
Lansing.

the eyes of the Egyptologists-bits of

itself have been translated.
One of the most fascinating the

SCHOOLS A FAILURE, SAYS
 TRADE PAPER

Chicago, June 8-The American Contractor scores the present policy of vocational schools, which expect boys to develop into skilled craftsmen with a few months training and a beautifully engraved diploma.
 With the habits of scholastic train ing still dominant in the direction of the vocational school, the idea is up permost that the schools business is to teach, let the students fall where they may" this student with his few months training, and "the unions have refused to interest themselves in the product of the public school training classes, and have insisted that an apprentice must serve his full time on the job, whether he has preliminary training or not" says this publication.
