INDUSTRIAL MOVEMENT IN SCHOOLS.

In "starting out to revolutionize the public school system" which is what the Illinois Federation of Woman' clubs is going to do, according to Mrs. George Watkins, president of the federation, the women have struck a lead which, if pursued by the same body, must win the approval of a great many of the most advanced educators as well as a large percentage of the intelligent public. There is no doubt that the day of the industrial school has come as Mrs. Watkins suggests. It has been taken up in a sort of dilettante fashion all over the country, and in some instances splendid work is being accomplished by individual schools, but an active crusade is needed to give the Industrial features, the prominence they require to make them of practical value to the children. In this country where there has been for generations a tendency to stultify that form of aptitude which in boys finds expression in work at the bench and at the forge, and in girls in cooking and sewing, in favor of clerical and professional occupations, it will require tho most vigorous of measures in order to place the industrial school where it belongs. This, albeit away from old methods and establishing new ones. The growing popularity of cabinet work and the cultivation and of what has come to bo known under the term "Arts and crafts," as a moans of recreation among men who follow far different lines of occupation for their living, may bo the result of the industrial school tendency, or tho industrial school tendency may have owed its favor to the adoption of this form of amusement among men of more or less leisure. Whatever the cause, the whole movement is for good and is bound to work wholesomo results. Once the work of the hands is re-established on its pedestal of dignity, when men and women realize that such labor is far more elevating and satisfactory than the tasks assigned to the average clerk in a big business house, who is generally to do routine work that offers little future and less present,, the country will be better off, and its individuals infinitely more happy. It is the unequal division of the forms of labor, more than organization or the lack of it, that makes the inequality of wages. At present the trades in all lines are largely in the hands of the foreigners, while the American born are to be found in a great preponderance in the offices and stores. Americans should share in the pleasure and profit of the trades. Many a good carpenter has been spoiled that he might make an indifferent clerk in the basement of some department store, or to pore over records and accounts under an electric light in some ill-ventilated railroad office. If there were more mechanics the chances are that their wages would not be decreased to the same extent that would characterize the increase of those of the horde of clerks in stores and offices. There is always work in plenty for a good mechanic and would doubtless continue to be if tho number were increased by half as many more. There is always plenty of work for good dressmakers and cooks and even if these accomplishments were never used as a means of livelihood, knowledge along these lines is a treasure which no woman who expects ever to hold the position of wife, housekeeper and home-maker, can afford to ignore. It is a deep satisfaction to note that Hammond has recognized the handwriting on the wall and is in the van in the matter of industrial progress in the

schools. The present movement to establish sewing and cooking classes and push the manual training of boys is a step in tho right direction. Superintendent McDaniel, however, will need the encouragement and support of the public in this undertaking to make his proposed departure a success. The

support must be no half hearted variety, but the wholesome and Invigorating encouragement which is needed to help all good projects along. It is all

very well to say that girls may learn to sew and to cook at home and that

hov rio not need to "waste" their time in school with such occupations. The

fact Is that few of them do learn to do these things.

Once firmly established as a part of the common, school curriculum on an

equal basis with the three r's, and it will be apparent very soon, how valuable

theso branches will become. Rut they should be given proper importance v v.em worth while. No dilletanto methods should apply. The course

should be practical and sufficient attention and time should be accorded them to make them of real value to the children and not merely a brief play-time with

no chanco of good results.

game at full back. Not until the coach had watched the pair run through signals in the final practice of the season did he decide between Loell and Watkins, and then it was to declare Loell had been beaten to it. There are no other changes in the lineup, and Allerdice will be at right half, probably during the entire game. Qunker Lineup Uncertain. Coach Torrey of the Quakers still maintains that he has not decided who will play quarter back for his team, Keinath or Reagan. -The sentiment in the Penn camp seems to be that Keinath has the job cinched, and it is more than likely that he will go in at the beglninng of the game. Fauxtis is in good shape and will be at left end. The Penn party will leave their training quarters near Mount Clemens early tomorrow morning, and will reach Ann Arbor in time for luncheon.

Original. Miss Wedgew-ood, an American girl traveling abroad, found it necessary to journey from London to Paris attended only by her maid. On reaching Calais she wa3 ushered into a compartment already occupied by two Englishmen who, from the dress and the airs they put on, might be London swells. Before the train started a third man entered, took a seat at the farther end

of the compartment from Miss Wedgewood, opposite the swells, and, taking periodicals and newspapers from his pocket, began to read. He did not even glance at Miss Wedgewood, who appreciated his not doing so inasmuch as the swells stared at her continually. No sooner had the train started than they loan to discuss her in indifferent Spanish. Miss Wedgewood spoke French. German. Spanish and Italian. This is what they said, translated into London English: "She's vewy pwetty," said one. "Il'm -awdinawy she's Amewican. 1 saw 'Cleveland' on her twunk. That's Bomewhe-re in Amewica, I believe. They haven't the generations of refinement over there to make beauty." "Look at the way she does her hair." "And the hat. It's last season's make. I fawncy she's rich, but new to fashion." Mis Wedgewood noted a lowering on the brow of the gentleman sitting opposite her critics, indicating that he not only understood Spanish, but that their criticisms annoyed him. He held a newspaper before him so that the men opposite could not see his face, though it was visible to Miss Wedgewood, occupying a different position. He glanced aside as though desiring to satisfy himself of the justice of

their strictures, but Miss Wedgewood, fortunately, she considered it, was at the time just turning her eyes from his side of the coach to her own, assuming an imperturbable countenance.

apparently unconscious of what was going on. Suddenly the gentleman who was reading lowered his paper and addressed the critics in Spanish. "Crentlemen, I am surprised that Englishmen, whom I judge by appearances to belong to the upper classes, should criticise a lady." One of the men addressed apologized, stating that they had supposed no one in the compartment understood them. The other seemed Inclined to resent the stranger's interference. "I wish you to understand, sir," he said, "that a bit of private conversation between two gentlemen is not a matter for remark by a third person. You are very impudent to object, I would have you know, elr." "Very well, sir," said the other, "proceed to make a cad of yourself, only don't go so far as to force me to take the lady under my protection." And he resumed his reading. The man who had last spoken resumed his remarks about Miss "Wedgewood. making them far broader and bolder than before. Miss Wedgewood's champion again laid down his paper and said: "The presence of the lady renders an Insult impracticable. Will you kindly

consider yourself insulted." And, first

glancing at Miss Wedgewood to see that she was not observant, he tossed his glove at the man; then, drawing a card from his pocket, handed it to him.

Before looking at it the man handed

him one of his own cards

"Count Llchtenstein!" exclaimed the

Englishman. "And you, I perceive, are Lord Batterton. I will be ready to receive any

friend your lordship may send at the Grand hotel within two hours after

our arrival in Fans." "I know you by reputation the reputation you made at your university with the small sword but as the challenged party I prefer pistols. I will teach you Germans, whose counts are as plentiful as tram drivers in London, that you can't have your own way with a British nobleman." "Any weapon you prefer, Lord Batterton." And the count resumed his reading as though nothing of consequence had happened. Batterton instructed his companion, Mr. Oldershaw, to act for him, and the count agreed to a meeting at a spot near Versailles at G o'clock on the morning after their arrival in Paris. Olderehaw was to visit the count's friend, Edward Wedgewood, an American, and with him arrange the minor details. The most astonishing part of this singular affair, every word of which Miss Wedgewood understood, was that

her defender's second was to be her own brother. When the preliminaries were all settled she turned to the par-

T1IK FOLLIF.S OF 1J07.' The new Zelgfeld revue, "The Follies of 1307," will be the attraction at the Illinois theatre, Chicago, for a limited engagement, beginning Sunday night, Nov. 17th. Described as a feast of musical spectacle and satirical delicacies served In thirteen courses by a cast of over 100 ami said to contain more genuine novelties than have ever before been seen in any one production. "The Follies of 1907" was the sensation of New York all last summer, where it played to enthusiastic audiences at the Jardin de Paris on the roof of the New York theatre. Starting on the principal that "a little

nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men," Manager Zeigfeld adjusted the form of his production from the Parisian revues, but made the matter thoroughly American in humor and spirit. Instead of travesties on plays be substituted timely take-offs on

prominent personages and current eents. The play moves like a panorama, the shifting scenes showing Jamestown Exposition grounds, the

"Weary" railroad station, a New York court-room, the shopping district of

Broadway, New York public library, the

stage door of the Broadway theatre, and so on down to the "horseshoe" of the Metropolitan opera house, where an operatic ballet is produced. Each scene serves as the setting for an appropriate skit.

lines of the play itself. In "The Virginian" there is only one great line: "I am of the west and must do its work." In "Texas" there are so many phrases so exquisite and so telling that k is impossible to particularize. To generalize however, we will say that in our opinion the beauty of "Texas" arises from the fact that Mrs. Feigel, the author of the play, has taken into this held some beauties of phrasing, the same high class work which Bret Harte carried into his California tales.
