w Boston, founded for the pur-
pose of furnishing education in the
mechanical arts" is recognized all
over the country as fine technical
school, although it grants no
ACADEMIC degrees. A high school
diploma is requisite.
This school was incorporated
under the laws of Massachusetts in
1904 and endowned by Arioch Went
worth with sum now amounting to
over S5,0O0,000. The cost of the
courses to the school is $4O0 per
student yearly, but due to the large
endowment the tuition is only 5000.
Mr.. Wentworth, who was himself
a mechanic, believed from his own
experience that the surest road to
prosperity lay in knowing HOW TO
USE ONES HANDS.
"The career of Benjamin Frank
lin, who began life as a tallOw-
chandler and later took up the bust
ness of setting type, fired him with
enthusiasm for manual labor" the
school catalog says.
The founder used to boast that
some day Wentworth Institute would
prove of greater value than any
school which sought to teach its
students SOLELY BY THE USE
OF BOOKS.
THE graduates of this school and
i others like it are ALWAYS IN
DEMAND among employers and
seldom lack employment, but they
are still not considered educated"
since the educational system in this
country does not recognize TECH
NICAL SKILL OR TRAINING AS
EDUCATION.
Wentworth Institute has it's own
complete shops, where students work
under the same conditions as they
will in actual technical jobs in
industry.
Courses in this school are inten-
sive, and are of two years duration.
Despite the fact that there is no
credit towards an academic degree,
the PRACTICAL VALUE of the
training has proved so great that the
school, before the Dar, accepted only
one-fourth of the applicants.
Courses include machine con-
struction and tool design, aircraft
construction and design, electrical
construction, building construction,
pattern-making and machine design,
electrical installations and mainte-
nance, and printing.

Technical Training Urged
AS Vital Education Factor

THE school is now entirely given
i over to the training of navy per-
sonnet. The service flag in the main
building shows that more than 1000
graduates are in the armed forces,
and that % have given their lives in
World War III.
Frederick E. Dobbs, principal, be-
lieves that there will be an even
greater demand for this kind of edu-
cation after the war.
81 think we will see some kind of
shift towards RECOGNIZING
SKILLS which require high de-
gree of intelligence and knowledge
of mathematics and applied science
as education" he said.
A FTER this war college women
"A will "quite properly" insist on
preparation for EARNING A LIVE
LIHOOD, as well as preparation for
living, President Bancroft Beatley of
Simmons College in Boston asserted.
Colleges will not be the same
after the war, we may be sure" he
said. In the postwar world, he stated,
colleges must bury the versus be-
tween liberal and vocational educa-
ton"
THE issue should no longer be
merely discipline of mind and will.
nor culture with a capital C. nor art
. for arts sake"
The questions we must ask Of our
educational content must be:
rs it relevant?
Does it promise to function?
rs it the best content we can
find to serve directly these four areas
of wOmen's life-hOme and family,
civic, occupational and personal?
"Since many college women will
engage in OccupatiOnal pursuits
only for a RELATIVELY BRIEF
PERIOD between graduation and
marriage, a prolonged period of pro-
fessional preparation is not ecOnomi-
cally or sociOlogically justified, in
most instances.
Yet college women who desire
professional career, whether or not
combined with marriage, MUST
HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.

tons that challenge the abilities and
interests of women are those in

Jap Treachery at Work

TAPAN'S menace does not consist
u entirely of guns and bullets fash
toned from the scrap metal which
gullible Americans supplied her in
the decade before Pearl Harbor.
In greater measure Japan's men
ace consists of her ability to prey
continuously on the RIGHTEOUSNESS of
gullible Americans.
With the same audacity by which
she obtained Americas kitchen
stoves to convert into weapons for
the slaughter of Americas sons,
Japan is now attempting to beguile
and befuddle Americas mind with
the bait of a negotiated peace.
Her propaganda line is as bold as
1t is insidious.
Japan, it says, will represent no
danger to the world if she is permit
tod REASONABLY" expansion.
Moreover the emperor is safe
hgurehead for a more democratic
Japan of the future, wherein Japa-
nese and Christian religious princi-
pies might be reconciled.
This is calculated to attract well
meaning American groups which
habitually think on humanitarian
levels.
And it is especially tailored for
pacjfist elements whose thought pro
cesses ARE more: apt to be emotional
thantfactual' I'll.
THE propaganda line does not say
i that any negotiated peace which
would permit Japan to keep even
fraction of the territories she has
wrenched from other peoples would
be victory for her.
Having benefited tremendously
by American gullibility in the past
the Japanese do not expect the in
tended victims of their deceit to look
80 far ahead.
But in this expectation the Japa
nese have made the mistake of falling
into the depths of their own credu-
lousness. There are Americans who
think. There are Americans who can
and do look ahead.
One of them is Adm. William F.
Halsey Jr, who as head of the Allied
forces in the south Pacific, knows and
fully appreciates the menace of
Japan.
Another is Rep. Harry R. Shep-
pard of California, and another is
Rep. Lowell Stockman of Oregon.
Attacking the japanese propa-
ganda line on the home front with
the grim determination with which
he had broken the japanese invasion
lines on the war front, Adm. Halsey
once warned:
There's one definite place that

- warning few days later in
Washington, Rep. Sheppard said:
"Halsey is suprenely confident
of an eventual Uictory oUer Japan,
and is auOare that Japan has built
part of her Dar precautions on the
possibility of persuading the United
States into the concessions that
negotiated peace would entail.
"Halsey doubtless also realizes
that if this happens, the complete
military Uictory he anticipates in this
rDar wiH be Dasted, and the present
conflict will BE BUT THE START
OF OUR TROUBLE WITH
JAPAN"
Even more critical of Americans
who allow themselves to be lulled
into ruinous complacency by lying
propaganda, Rep. Stockman con-
tinued:
at is absurd to suppose that
Japan in this war actually hoped to
occupy the Whole of the United
States and uDrite the peace terms in
the White House. Japan plans to
build her empire gradually,
"The Japanese intended to seize
exactly ,Ohat they already haue
taken, defend ii bitterly to Ueary
us, and keep all of it by defeating us
or part of it by negotiation.
"Oficial japanese documents and
the public writings of Japanese lead
ers shoD that Japan sees this war
merely as a campaign in century
of World conquest. If Ue are to halt
this oDer-aH plan, Japan's defeat
must be made crushing IN THE
FIRST ROUND.
This current defense of the en-
peror and Shintoisr is preposterous.
The emperor is Shintoist and Shinto-
ism, is the emperor, and both are
Japanese n,iiifarisn,."
OTTER American experience, not
- the least of which was the
treacherous stab in the nations back
on Dec. 7, 1941, proves that Adm.
Halsey and the two congressman
who have joined him in his timely
warning are as obviously right and
the easy mark purveyors of japanese
propaganda are tragically wrong.
Now is the time to face the whole,
stark truth that Japan is waging this
war for sufficient gain to permit
preparations for greater war in the
future.
Tomorrow may be too late.
