ROWDOIN'S INSTITUTE OF HIS.
TORY

The evidence of interest in the In
stitute Of Modern History to be held
at Bowdoin College April 1928 Is
gratifying and assures the success Of
the Institute.
There are several reasons for this.
In the first place 1t has been possible
to obtain the services Of. those emf
nent in work intimately associated
with the subjects upon which they
will speak.
Another reason is the awakening
consciousness of the American people
OF the need Of clearer information
respecting foreign affairs. Those who
follow the reports of reputable news
papers respecting conditions in the
Ruhr, for instance, notice that they
differ very materially. The need OF
some dependable source of informa-
ton is apparent. This may be met in
some degree by institutes in history
addressed by authorities who have
had opportunity for intimate ac-
Quaintance with the subjects on
which they speak. who have no inter-
est In anything but the truth and
who may be depended upon to speak
1t. To such valuable undertaking
Bowdoin College is making a notable
contribution.

NEED OF MORE APPRENTICES

There Is an alarming scarcity of
apprentices in most trades. This is
due to several causes among which
may be mentioned the ability of the
youth to obtain employment at odd
jobs and make more money for the
time being than he could earn while
learning a trade. 1t Is understood
many instances encourage appren-
ticeship. that not all who might wish
to learn a trade and would make
good workmen at that trade are per-
mitted to do so in this land Of the
free.
Once the skilled workman was
proud Of his trade. of the skill it re-
quired. Youth were willing to make
sacrifices for Chance to learn a
trade. Undoubtedly the installation
OF so much machinery. the use Of
skill on the part OF the machine
maker rather than by the machine
tender, has had serious effect on
the apprentice situation.
A growing shortage of competent
workmen in 1.-The building industry
has caused alarm in New York city.
1t Is estimated that in that city alone
10000 boys and girls leave school,
have no trade or means Of getting
one and so drift into drudgery.
Definite programs are now being
worked out in several Of the large
cities with a view to relieving the
present discouraging conditions Of

STERN METHODS IN IRELAND

Every report from Ireland indi-
Gates weakening among the force Of
the rebels. In the, past few weeks
they have been unable to accomplish
the destruction of property which
has appeared to be one of their spe-
cial endeavors. Their ablest leaders
are dead, last among them Liam
Lynch. before whom were Rory
O'Cannor Childers, and Burgess. 1t
Is said that ten thousand of the
rebels are now in Irish jails. that
of their leaders 81 have been eX-
ecuted. that DeNalera is on the run.
But as yet no consent of the
governed has been obtained from
the 'IrreSulars." Many of them
would scarcely know how to live up
to 1t If they gave it. Rebellion is
bred in them. They have been fer
tile soil for the teaching Of tyranny
in the past and may hardly be
trusted to forget it in one genera
ton.
The struggle has resulted in
stability and determination in the
Free State Government. 1t now has
an army disciplined and Injured to
obeGiance. True. foundations of the
new government had to be laid in
bloody soil. the rebels would have it
so. and the seeds Of future hatreds
have been planted. But there was
no alternative. The rebels were
given opportunity to lay down their
arms and would not. Those in
charge Of the affairs of the Free
State mus. either permit frenzied
few to paralyze all the agencies Of
civilization or control them with a
ruthless hand. They chose the lat
ter, wisely we believe, as there did
not appear to be any other way in
which 1t might be done, but Of
course there is no assurance in one
man sitting on a PROSTATE fellow
that the latter will behave when let
up.
