All rights of publication of special Learners“ for the Build- ing Trades A conference was held at Cleveland, 0.. some days ago, primarily to discuss plans for se- ouring apprentices in the brick- laving trade. It was predicted that an effort would be made-to trv again the old time apprentice sv-stcm, by which boys used to be bound out to learn a trade. . There has been much complaint of lack of workers in the building and other mechanical trades, and there has been a decided prefer- ence by young men for “white collar jobs." It would seem as if Something ought to be done, by the old time apprentice system or otherwzse, to give boys a better knowledge of the building trades, and equip them to start out as master work- men if they desire to. If this were done. average young fellows Would probably find that these trades could give them just as good chance for advancement as they get, in white collar jobs. There is such a demand for new houses, that it would seem as if many capable workmen could start out building them on their own account, without needing much capital to start with. in many towns. if a complete list could be made of. those who had recently erected dwellings and other buildings, it would be found that a considerable number of fel- lows who previously were only hired workmen, were starting one ‘or two dwellings on their own ac count. If such a fellow does well with his first efforts, he is likely to branch out, and before many years be conducting construction operations on a considerable scale. But to accomplish such a result, a fellow must be an all round craftsman with a general know- ledge of mechanical tools and sim- ple construction principles. Some better training is needed to make these trades more attractive to young 111011. Late Hours Two parents who recently vis- ited the universities where their boys are studying, were compar- ing notes the other day. It ap- peared that both these boys have acquired the habit, both at college and while at home on vacation, of .staying up very .late at night. .They will sit up and read until ,midnight or later, and then lie nbed until nine or 10 in the morn- ing- If reproached with this eccen- tric habit, these boys claim that the majority of the students in their institutions are doing about the same thing. « . - The old timers had a penetrat- ing philosophy, and they knew by instinct and experience that early rising is a good thing. “Early to bed and early to rise,”.they said, “makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” “If yen would thrive you must rise at five, iI‘you have thrivenn you may rise at elven," etc. Man was made to do.his work in the sunlight. The bright rays of 91d Sol have a health and life giving quality. Diseases are cur- ed Just by sunshine. It is the great emy of germs. Some must work at night, but few people do it except through the neéessitics of the case, as in the matter of -mormng newspaper work. ' Furthermore, there is no light equal .to daylight for reading. 'Bxcessive use of e eyes under artificial light, particularly where such lighting is in some way in- : adequate. has been the cause why may people ’s eyesight has gone Many people seem to think they can read. think and study better ,iate at night 'than at other times.

GAINING More Americans on being born than are dying. Census figures show that close to as babies were born last year for each 100 population. with only 12 deaths. That gives us an excess of 11 births a year for each 1000 population.’ It in numbers nearly 1.300.000 s year without the aid or immigration. At that rate. it won't be many centuries until we have as many people as China. Nature will kill all the surplus by wars and disease it we get too many. Increasing population. when it reaches a certain point. breeds its own destruc- on. fl DEATH About 1.800.000 Americans will make the journey into the grave and beyond. this year. according to latest census bureau mortality figures. It's our annual death rate. . That's quite an army. Few of us realize. how many funerals_thero are. it‘s the end of the road. is death. and we're all traveling twoard it inst. Why be as greedy and thoughtless to otin rs as it we were going to be here for all eternity? This would be a better world it we gave more thought to that supposedly unpleasant change called death. HERFAFI‘ER Where are the souls of the 1.800.000 Americans who died last year? No doubt about their destination in the minds of millions of good Christlons. But the unbelievers are in doubt. troubled as well as uncertain. After nll's said and done. faith is the greatest thing in lite—as a general force. whether faith in our loved ones. In ourselves. or in a lite utter death. The doubters wil not have many years until they k ow for certain. And. in eternity. they will find There years shorter than one drop of water com- pared with the wholc ocean. Time is a delusion. and that's why the years slip by faster' ihe older we become. CROPS These few lines from the depart- ment of agricultuure are very im- portant to farmers: "All European crops are in generally good condition." It the crops harvest big. Europe will be another step nearer calm and stability. It's difficult to be radical or highly emotional when the stomach is filled. Did you ever see a rat agittetor.

Editor of South Norwalk Sentinel: A thousand congratulations to your Ku Klux Klan editorial in this eve- ning‘s paper. The Sentinel shows it has both grit and moral backbone in taking its stand against this hideous old negro-burner trom the Solid South. Its presence in the North is an outrage on Northern citiaepship. It wag born amid the cotton planta- tions right otter the Civil War. mak- ing an applied science. of terrorism and a line art at skulklng cowardice. to trighten the negro' book into a worse slavery than that. from which Lincoln emancipated him, to give the cotton planters still unpaid labor in their cotton fields in order that they might keep on with their world- m-.nopoly in cotton growing. in spite of coolie labor in India and other parts or the world. And it succeeded by terrorism. Negroes who raised their heads and proclaimed thelr freedom were shot. hung or burned at the stake on the spot. often under trumped up charges (or misdemeanors which committed by white men on negroes were not so much as noticed. For a. long time it was. and in many pars o: the south it stil is no crime to murder a. negro. especially it he dares to clnim any right whatever under the constitution which a white man is bound to respect. , The Ku Klux Klan was. is not! ever will be until its stamping to death by public opinion. an insurrecto-revolu- ttonary body whose ultimate purpose is the reversal ot‘the decision at Appo- matm Court House. Virginia. on Palm Sunday. 1805. when Lee sur- rendered' to Grant. Under whatever guise it comes in the Northern coun- try. it is the same old negro-burning orgnnisation. bent one day upon restor- ing slavery, destroying civic liberty. supplanting the courts by lynch rule and n; n terrible vengeance upon the rib tor "Appomattox."

State Comments A Caterpillar Year i (Providence Journal) The tent caterpillars have wrought havoc along the New England road- sides. They have spread their tents on every wild cherry tree and are a threat to the farmers’ orchsrds. Some systematic attempt should be made to destroy them. either by cutting the infested branches or by burning the nests with kerosene torches. Here is a good work tor the Boy Scouts. The farmers themselves. moreover. might devote some portion or their energies to the task. though just now they an. or course. in the midst of other en- grossing labors. . It seems to be a great caterillar year. In Oregon the Southern Pacific railroad is having a hard time with an army of the pests that has been seriously interfering with trut- tic on the Albany-Newport branch. The army is a mile ion: and has moved live miles in a. few. days. stripping trees and bushes in 'its progrem. The railroad is' using crude oil in combatting the worms. and everybody will hope that it will literally wipe them, out l-otoro they get much tarthcr in their ruinous ad- vance. Woe-k in Vacation (Ansonla Sentinel) The Connecticut board or educa- tion. division of employment and at» tendance. reports that there is this summer a vacation job (or every school pupil between the ages of tour- teen and sixteen. who wants to use it. There are 25.000 such pupils. Maybe they will promptly form in line and get their Jobs. but it they do. it will prove that a great change has suddenly come over the spirit of the dresms o! the youth 0! Connecticut as to the proper use of. a long vaca- tion. ‘This isn't saying that they have heretotore had the most accurate of ideas as to the best use 0! a long va- cation. But (or some time there have been signs that this idea was break- ing down. Younger pupils. formerly supposed to need all the vacation they could possibly get just to ion! in. have eagerly accepted opportunity to attend summer school. , Older pu~ pile—too old for school—here have opportunity to think at whether they wouldn't be glad to use the vacation in earning some money. or at least to contribute something to the support or industry. ‘ All this doesn‘t prove that the long vacation which has become a custom is in the least a mistake. But it does seem to ‘ e that it is high time we heeded th hints that tbero is a"bet~ tor. use to make or it than that which has been customary. Teachers need it (or study. pupils need it for in- struction—all need it for "a change ot’work."
