Our present system will never give
better results until we make a more care
full study Of the child. What is needed
is a course to suit the class of children Of
poor mental capacity and not as at pres
ent the same course for both the mental
" fit and the mentally urf fit.
Although it is imposs. BILE entirely to
fit a boy for his future position in life
yet it is the duty of the State as far as it
lies in its power to fit him for his future
occupation. At present we are far from
doing this.
The practical Work from the Infant
Department to the Standard Four should
be Of a general character and then the
boy with the aid Of MS parents and the
teacher could choose what trade he likes
best, If this is done we will then be able
to secure good mechanics and not Jack
of all Trades.
1t is sincerely to be hoped tbdf the
Education Board will abolish thYPresent
Examination system to that schNpl which
at present take up Hand Work Oh a large
scale will have time to carry it bn along

cd Representative g. l. Abernethy Of

II all the chewing tobacco manu-
featured IN one year In North Caro-
lima were made into one big succu-

Of Mount Mitchell bit chew from its

drop SO far that it would break the

Of Attorney General Sargent with
regard to the authority of the De
Dartment of Commerce to regulate
radio broadcasting stations is unfor
tunate. in one sense, but perhaps en-.
durable if 1t nay serve to impress our
legislators with the great need for
sound radio legislation. The radio in
dustry has knocked at the 1oor Of
Congress through the Department of
Commerce for constructive radio leg
islation for considerable time.
Will Back commeroe Policies
Failure OF the Congress in che past
to enact suitable laws has been met
by representatives of the radio indus
try in meeting in four annual confer
ences with the Secretary of Com
merce and Informally agreeing among
themselves to a temporary plan Of
wayelength ALLEGATION, station power
rating, hours of operation and other
pertinent considerations. / haven't
the slightest doubt that the fair and
responsible men who have met at
these conferences at washington will
continue to stand behind the splendid
emergency program which they and
the Department of Commerce con-
ceived and agreed upon.
1.-THE Radio Corporation Of America
win steadfastIy maintain its policy OF
strictly observing the present wave
length assignments and it Is believed
that all broadcasters who are interest
ed in furnishing the radio public with
satisfactory service will do the same.
Chaos IN the Air Possibility
I'VE should not overlook the fact
that we are all striving to serve mil
lions of radio listeners. TO arbitrarily
appropriate the wavelength of ones
broadcasting neighbor will result in
interference and chaos in the air, rem
dering reception by the listener un-
satisfactory and perhaps precipitate
a situation where the listener viii find
great difficulty in his efforts to sepa-
rate programs at the receiving end.
While this may not come to pass,
nevertheless, the possibility Of such
condition should serve to impress up
on the American public the vital need
Of radio laws and regulations.
Meanwhile, the industry should not
take Attorney Generals decision as a
signal to depart from the accepted
and eficient arrangements of the pres
emit Responsible broadcasting inter-
ests will not, am sure"

SEEKERS FOR GOLD
NEVER LOSE HOPE
Fortune EUer Just Ahead Of
Placer Miner.

Most people believe that placer
mining went out Of existence about
the time that Robert w. Service be-
gan to live on his reputation as a poet,
but many prospectors still are sluic-
Ing the yellow dust around Cariboo
way.
Many Of them are not making what
could be termed living wage when
judged by city standards, but when the
rent problem is no longer a problem
and firewood is there for the taking,
man requires but little in the wilder
ness to get by. His fare consists
largely of bacon, beans, punk" or
homemade biscuits pepper, salt and
coffee, and So or $40 worth of this
kind of fodder win last long time.
There was great excitement in one
little camp few days ago, says dis
patch from Vancouver, b. c., when the
Houser brothers uncovered a $24 mug
get. Such findings are rare in the dis
trict, which was supposed to have
been9sluiced dry several years ago, but
just such strike as this is what keeps
the gold-bitten moilers at their self
appointed task
Placer mining is at once the most
exciting and disheartening work under
fhe sun Harry Eden shoveled many
tons OF howldeB in May and the total
production of his labors for one month
was 90 cents. Such poor returns are
rare, however, and it is the eternal
IN ~
breasts of all miners which keeps
them going back day after day, conf
dent that the big strike is just ahead.
Since the diamond drills, rock crush
ers and smelters have come into vogue
the whole complexion of gold mining
has been changed. Up-to-the-minute
miners refuse to be pestered with the
antiquated methods and yearn for the
slap and dash created by modern ma
chinery.
To the old-timers. however, mining
will never be mining without the pick
and shovel and the sluice boxes. What
matter if the sun parboils their necks
and their backs break with the I'M
remitting toll Of hosting the gravel to
the surface with tiny hand wiHdlass
and then washing it in the boxes, the
while they pick the tiny gold flakes
from the riffs. Their regard Is In
finding the precious metal, no matter
how small the quantity may be.
The sentiment Of the miners OF by
gone days can best be summed up In
the words of Paddy Hodnutt. who has
shoveled gravel for more than sixty
of his eighty-ive years.
Il wudn't have anything to do with
them things" he snorted, with dep
recatory wave of his hand. "Sich
traps is not for the likes O. me, what
has seen fortunes dug out of the
ground with bare hands. When the
time comes that have to use such
as that old Paddyll give up mimi for
good"
