Vocational Education
Some years ago it was the rage to
raise children with the idea that
manual labor was beneath them. that
only the white collar Job, as it was
described, should engage their at-
tention. -
This was Just as true in Norwaik
as anywhere else in the country. it
was the tad of the period.
This unfortunate state of mind
now is disappearing. We are slowly
redeallzing that there is Just as
much dignity in telling with brawn
as there is in toiling with brain. in
fact. many city workers are gladly
' relinquishing the questionable joys of
the big cities to return to the health-
ier life of tpii in the open.
In connection lvlzh this, it is in-
thrusting to note the remarks of
Louis Gustafson, Superintendent of
a trade wheel in St. Louis. He told
delegates to a convention for Voca-
tional Education in Chicago yester-
day that the old ideas of culture
have vanished and rapidly are being
replaced with a new idea based on
the practical needs of .ihc present
mechanical age.
While we agree with this. we do
hope that all the old ideas do no:
vanish. because as much as we may
be enamored with present day ideals.
there is much in the old Which we
cannot afford to lose.
"We live in a great industrial and
mechanical ago." said Mr. Guslafsou
to the delegates. "Labor With the
hands no longer is looked down up-
on. There has been a stampede from
the white collar to the overalls. liven
the school teacher has become a
carpenter and the preacher has left
the pulpit lor the plastercr’s trowel
at $1.75 an hour. The automobile
has made greasy hands the fashion.
The war had its usefll.ness in this
and the aeroplane has helped."
Discussing the possibilities of
manual training education from a
cultural. pre~¥0cailonai and voca-
tional standpoint. Gustalsou express-
ed the bciici‘ that every boy should
be taught at least the rudimentary
use of tools as a necessary part of
his ’general education because it
equips him to deal with the problem
of life. no matter in what l’icld his
Work may lay.
Here is an excellent suggestion
and one we recommend for the con-
sideration of our schol ofilcials.
Gypsy Dictum

And yet. perhaps it isn‘t neceal
my to pity him so much!
There is a new King in Gypsyiand
and his name is Frank. His coron-
; ation has received considerable no-
tice in the press.
~ Norwalk knows the wandering
' gypsy band. We secretly admire its
members or fear them.
And now comes a dictum from
the king that wandering must cease
and also that fortune telling must
' stop.
‘ Woo and wailing!
But the new king is a moat mod-
ern gent and we predict his ruling.

King Frank. according to an As-
laciated Press Dispatch. has an-
? nJunoed as the keynote of his pol-
thy the decree that his subjects
Zmust stop fortune tolling. He also
ladvocates that his people settle
' down. vote and send their children
i to school.
Thus the king. whole title and
jurisdiction are based on customs
and laws extending back to the
middle ages. advocates the abolish-
ment of customs that the gypsies
have followed for centuries.
The king himself is quite a mod—
, ern person. who wears long trousers
fan'd a crown. and is known_ln pri-
“me as Frank Mitchell. His sym-
bols of sovereignty are a ball and
operates and a gold plated round hat.

CHAPTER xu.
The lawyer arrived promptly at
eight o'clock. Thurber was a small.
loan individual in his sixties. weak
in ‘eApX-USSOH. who wris the ‘Menlow

father, hllnio.f :. lllzln of slight

"Good evening. Michael. 1 hope
,v0u are well." Mr. Thurber began.
in his thin voice.
Miclulcl uttered the conventional
answer and offered the lawyer a
chair. They got down to business
immediately. Michael suspected
that Sally was listening from some
hidden point of vantage, and had
no impulse to call out. "Quit snoop-
ing. Sully!" but contented himself
with glancing sl-zlrcillnmy and ac.

.N'o. the idea that she would leave
money in a chest, when it could
have been devised more safely oth-
crwlac, was absurd. “(but then?
“have you any idea of what the

The lawyer smiled bolaboredly. "l
was Just going to ask you that."
They stared at each other for a
moment. Then Michael shrugged.
“i supposed the chest is in the keep-

"Yes." He paused. “You aren't

eyes were studying the‘ youth.
"Oh. no: i just " Michael rc-

"Well," Thurber proceeded. obli-
vious or the offense he had given.
"the estate is. I know, in pretty good
condition. and it. won't be long be-
fore it is turned over to you. Your
mother was a pretty sensible woman.
and didn't allow her affairs to get
tangled up." He pronounced pretty
as if spelled party.
"She was fortunate in having good
counsellors. Mr. Thurber." Michael,
though he did not like Thurber. felt
that he owed him this tribute.
"Thank you. Michael. thank you.
It makes me feel mighty good to
hear you say that. And i hope that
i can help you over any, sun-Cs that
you encounter. An old head and a
young head go mighty wen togeth-
er."
Michael did not commit himself
regarding this matter. He already
had in mind turning over most of his
legal affairs to a younger man. He
felt about old lawyers as he regard-
ed old physicians: Their heads are
in the past. so how can, their feet
walk in the present?

vantages in buying low coupon rate
bonds which the inexperienced in.
veator is apt to overlook. He only
seen that the current return is lower
than he could obtain from a bond

what is Cflllt'd the "maturity return."

coupon rain but upon the amount

upon the length of time to matur-

For illustration. :1 e per cent. bond

per ccnt.. or the same as 6 per cent.
bond selling at par maturing at any
time. For the man who can afford
to sacrifice something in annual in-

preciation in capital these low rate
coupon bonds should not be ignor-
ed. For one thing. nearly all of
them were issuod'before the great

low rate coupon bonds are a lien.

and for labor were far below those

instance. if this mileagle were to be
put down at present it could only be
at a greatly increased cost.
Banks and insurance companies
recognise these facts and are steady
purchasers of these seasoned rall-
way bonds. The private investor
might do worse than follow the ex-
ample of strong financial institutions
in this respect.
