By Mrs. Walter Ferguson.

There seems to be general
agreement that we are educating too
many of our children for white col
lar jobs.
This is the reason why the voca-
tional training school is so popular.
In this age Of specialization, We have
come to realize that each student
should have some sort of a trade,
and so we talk great deal about
our excellent educational system and
the marvellous opportunities that are
open to American boys and girls and
go right on doing our best to make
this vocational education failure.
We know that the man who fash
ions lovely pottery or makes from
fine grained wood, beautiful pieces of
furniture, is doing a creative bit of
work that is more valuable to the
country and to himself than the
labors of another who merrily per-
forms automatic tasks which have
been originated by another.
Yet, knowing this, we fail entire
ly to give this creative worker the
proper appreciation. We theorize
about this thing, but when it comes
to practical demonstration. we eat
our words.
For we shall never be able to
teach our children that vocational
education is desirable thing until
we change our mental outlook.
So long as we honor the man who
has smattering of legal knowledge
more than we do the carpenter who
fashions symmetrical and individual
homes, or the brick mason who
erects skyscrapers which dot our
great cities, just so long will the idea
prevail that the white collar man is
the one to emulate.
So long as we accord more social
prestige to the bank teller than we
give to the landscape gardener, or
the chemist. or the farmer, we must

DON'T RAISE YOUR SON
FOR WHITE COLLAR JOB,
Give Creative Workers the Proper Appreciation Says
Mrs. Ferguson.

expect to have our sons choose
something other than creative work.
For in this land of intensive and
noisy democracy there still fingers
the breath of that air which blew
over kingdoms.
We make wide gestures and speak
innumerable words to each other
and expound high-sounding phrases
about the dignity of labor, but the
fact remains that we do not accord
to the man who works one-half the
smirks and the bows which we give
to the stockbroker who creates moth
ing except money for himself.
The worker in America, the
creator of all the beauties which we
so proudly boast. in our social scale
comes far beneath the writer who
spins our drivel for our diversion or
the financier who lends us money at
a high rate of interest.

Sundays pageantry was the an
nual try-out before the real parades
of Palm Sunday and Easter, and it
had all the grimly serious aspects
of dawn before Derby Day at, Louis

Railbirds from the style houses
shivered against the iron fence that
separates the boardwalk from
Europe and confined their suspicious

which had been upsetting the cloak
and suit business all winter.
Plenty of Color
One of the big, sweeping points
set led by the practice parade was
about color-all kinds of color. The
Easter parade will be Kaleidoscope

introduced rather hesitantly by the
early arrivals, looks like it will be

as the Atlantic City Chamber Of

OBSERVES METHODS HERE
Vocational Education in Wisconsin Found to be Valuable by Observer From England.

New York. May 26 (UP)-What England might learn from America and the state of Wisconsin in the field of vocational education was told by John Whitley of Oxford uni versity, first Irving T. Bush research scholar to visit America, before re- turning to England on the Maure- tania.
 Embarrassed by library of books and manuscripts donated by Ameri- can educators in their enthusiasm, Whitley said he would give the books to Oxford because he would not have time to read them all in his lifetime.
 "One of the most outstanding pieces of work 1 have been able to inspect and one which may contrl- bute a great deal to England if ever she puts into practice the clauses of the Fisher act of 1918 is the devel- opment of the continuation school throughout the United States" he said.
 AS an agency for up-grading the whole of Americas juvenile employees socially and vocationally. it is unique. Up to date. the social side has been developed rather at the ex- pense of the vocational, but where industry has been able to realize the potential advantages of the contin- uation school, as in Wisconsin, some most effective vocational work is be- ing done."
