The school patrons are becoming
more and more vocational education

skiing, if not actually demanding,
more facilities for the teaching of

Want Practical Training.
People everywhere are becoming
more and more convinced that our
high schools should devote more at

discontinue the college entrance cour-

IN to college-they should have the
regular classical courses, by all
means. But we should also provide the
same facilities for teaching vocation

going to insist on more and better
vocational courses in the high schools

Mr.. Browne pointed out that yoca-

parents. The records show that most
Of the unemployed are those entirely

Oh. mignonette is fragrant,
But chicory is blue;
And no four walls of garden plot
Can boast its merry hue.
For every stretch of dusty lane
Is made a lovely place,
And every patient fallow field
Is lent a tender grace
Yes, mignonette is fragrant,
And chicory is blue;
One loves a sunny garden,
And one a larger view.

Road Is >Lurinq
Jane CowI

One Of the most comprehensive
tours ever made by an American
actress, since those dim yesterdays
when there were more than 500
theatrical companies con the
road" each year, will be under
taken this coming season by Jane
Cowl, who will be seen from coast
to coast in First Lady," the
Katharine Dayton George S. Kauf-
man comedy in which she has
been appearing at the Music Box
Theater in New York since last
November.
The tour will begin in Boston
the last week in September and
will take Miss Cowl and her com.
pany into every important city OF
more than $4,000 population in the
country and into many smaller
towns. Thirty-eight States will be
visited according to present plans.
Miss Cowl is no stranger to the
"road." She is one actress who
like Katharine Cornell and Helen
Hayes, believes in giving the best
she has to offer to the entire coun'
try rather than to lat small sec.
ton which centers around Broad.
way. She brought her Romeo
and Juliet" her Road to Rome
and her "Simlin' Through" pro
auctions to all the far-flung
corners of the country with great
success.
"First Lady" is a comedy dealing
with Washington social and politi
cal life. In Lucy Chase Wayne
wife of the Secretary Of State
Miss Cowl has one of the most
brilliant high comedy roles of hel
career. It is a "secret Of Polich
inelle" that the character was al
least suggested by, If not modelled
on, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long
worth.

sumed to have retired with a colos-
sal fortune. Attorney Samuel I'm.
termeyer was paid a $1,000,000 fee
for helping Mr.. Fox through his
financial difficulties. He can still
pick up the newspapers and see
Fox pictures advertised in a dozen
Atlantic City theaters, but his
reign in Hollywood is history
though his name is retained.
MISMANAGED ENTERPRISE
The huge $17,000,O00 Atlantic
City auditorium still impresses me
as one Of the most mismanaged
enterprises I have ever encoun-
tered. Stale posters for events that
have passed adorn the eight sheet
boards and all this magnificent
structure was able to offer as an
inducement for holiday throngS
was a series Of fifth rate wrestling
matches and cheap dances. They
apparently don't make enough
money to properly light the mag
nificent esplanade.
Judged by the immense crowds
which found their way to the
shore for this weekend, Atlantic
City looks for a most prosperous
season. The most remunerative
perhaps since the depression.
Visitors to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention this month in
Philadelphia have made heavy
reservations in the first-class
hotels, with July and August
bookings the greatest in years for
such an early date.
EARLY SUMMER FINERY
1t is the same Atlantic City that
has lured millions in the past with
its main attraction-the ocean.
The cool breezes kept bathers
down to an estimated $4,000 on
Saturday and Sunday. It also
kept the boardwalk free from the
midsummer parade Of lad1es-1n-
shorts, show-off sunburns, varicose
veins and semi-nudity that char
acterizes July and August.
So I give the weather man some

of early summer finery.
