Where Do the School Days Go ? Ten thousand employers of the United States look. ng to the trade schools for the skilled workmen of the future. -What the Winona Trade Schools do for young men.

The school authorities and employ ers of skilled workmen have been looking into the results of schooling in the United Staies, with some startling results. They have found that there are about 18,000.000 pupils in the public schools, and not more than 5,000,000 of them get beyond the fifth grade. Of this 5,000,000 not more than 2,500,000 get through the eighth grade. Only 650,000 get through high school, and not over 200,000 go on to college. The particular point searched for has been to learn what becomes of those who leave the public schools before their education there is finished and who do not get into the high schools and colleges. The seekers after this fact have found that half the number is boys who go into the world to work as day laborers or to gather up a smattering Of some trade. The results of this investigation has brought grave concern to the large employers of skilled workmen, who say that while on the face of the returns many thousands of boys every year begin to learn trades, there is a shortage of from 10 to 50 per cent of skilled workmen in the workshops of the United States. The employers have found that for all the hue and cry they make for more and better workmen, their forces cannot be recruited by employers teaching the boys trades in their own shops, as has been done heretofore. The strenuous competition, the unceasing demand for greater and better output of shop and factory; has resulted in such a tremendous pace in the industries of this country that there is no time to train an apprentice and give him an all'round knowledge of some trade, as was done back In early times. In a printing office, for instance, .a boy becomes a feeder of a press at a few dollars a week. So long as he is content to remain a press-feeder at low wagei he will stay at a machine year after year, and this is as far along the road to becoming a printer as he will get. Some feeders, cf course, get by this point and become pressmen at better wages. But taking the workshops of the country as a whole and they contain thousands of boys who did not finish the public schools ard who are "tied to a post" by performing one particular task in a shop, or factory, until they become as much of a machine as the one they operate. It was this condition as found by the employers which has prompted six national associations cf employers to go' Into the effort; of training boys to become skilled workmen, to give them complete knowledge of a trade, as was once done by the apprenticeship meth od. These six associations have concentrated their efforts in the trade schools of Winona Technical Institute, at Indianapolis, and they are making of the Institute "the school that gives the boy a chance." These six associations represent 10,000 industrial concerns of the United States, which have on their payrolls the great bulk of skilled workmen hundreds of thousands of them. The United Typothe tae, made up of employing printers, has given $9,000 to the institute's School .of Printing to be used as a scholarship fund, and has helped in Gathering up $60,C00 worth of equipment for the school. The National Founders' Association has given $12,000 in scholarships to the School for Iron Moulders and has gathered equipment worth many thousands for the use of the school. The Metal Trades Association has given $12,000 for scholarships in the School for. Machinists and is gathering up many thousands of dollars' worth of material for the school, which f will soon open at the institute. The National Lithographers' Association has given $28,000 in scholarships and equipment to the School of Lithography. -The tilemakers of the United States have given $5,000 for scholarships in the School of Tile-Setting. The bricklayers have given $5,000 for the School cf Bricklaying at the Institute. ; , These gifts of money are followed up by close scrutiny on the part of the associations to see that boys In-these schools get practical instruction. The associations -do . this through committees, each of which has one or more Indianapolis members, who are in constant touch with each school's affairs. These committees select the instructors, and the men chosen are known to possess two qualifications : They know thoroughly the trade they are to teach, and they also know how to impart their knowledge to boys learning the trade. The boy who goes to Winona Technical Institute gets his chance, whether he has money in his pocket or not. If he cannot pay the tuition, the amount needed, from $60 to $100 a year, is lent to him from a scholarship fund. He gives bis note for the amount, which is to run for a period of years without Interest. After finishing his schooling and going to work he begins to pay off this loan. Scores of boys have made such loans at the institute and they have returned several thousand dollars. As rapidly as the loans are repaid, they become money available t" iri. ?s!r? to boc THE SHOW IN SIGHT

row.- JIany of the boys pay" their owfi tuition when entering the institute, so there are many of these scnolarsbips untaken and are cpen to the first boys who apply for Kiem. The institute since it opened five years ago has had 1,500 students, and its graduates are now employed - all over the United States. The institute cannot produce graduates as rapidly as employers desire to give them work. With their all-'round knowledge of a trade, which they acquire in an institute workshop, many of them have quickly advanced to places as foremen and superintendents and other positions of responsibility. There have been many striking instances in the institute of boys who are determined to get on in the world. They have gone to the institute without any money, worked their way through a trade school, and gone at once into permanent employment at good wages. One of these boys is a native of Porto Rico. He sailed from his island home with only enough money to carry him to Indianapolis, and when he entered the institute's School of Lithography he had two dollars in his pocket and had borrowed $100 from the scholarship fund to pay bis tuition. He could hardly speak English, but employment as houseboy was .found for him in an Indianapolis home, where he earned his bed and ' board, going to school through the day. He finished his schooling and is now employed at good wages with an Indianapolis concern as a full-fledged lithographer. In the School for Iron Moulders there is a boy who was too ambitious to continue living in an Indiana orphans' home. He entered the School for Moulding without a cent in his pocket. He is paying his way with money he earns taking care of furnaces through the winter and with odd jobs about private homes through the summer, and he will make one of the best moulders this school has produced. A dozen jobs will be open to him as soon as he finishes his schooling. Boys who enter the institute without means resort to many ways of earning money for incidental expenses. They take care of furnaces, mow lawns, drive delivery wagons, carry newspaper routes anything that will give them an honest livelihood while they are learning a practical trade at the institute. They room and board in the private homes around the institute grounds. Many fathers who are employers of skilled workmen send their sons to the institute to learn a trade in which the father is engaged, rather than teach the son in his own workshop, the boy going home to help the father carry on the business. Many employers, too, have taken alert boys out of their shops and sent them to the institute to get a better understanding of z trade, and such a boy usually goesback to his employer to become a fore man or a superintendent. Scores of boys who have finished a trade at the institute have gone home to fire their companions with an ambition ' to become a skilled workman with his hands, and it is through this medium that the Institute has in part seen its enrollment grow from year to year. .. That the national associations of employers are realizing handsomely on their scholarship funds and gifts to the Institute is strongly Indicated by the eagerness with which these employers givo employment to the graduates as rapidly as a boy can get hia schooling. The Critic's Duty. It Is sometimes the painful duty of a Judge to order a man to be banged by Che neck till he be dead; it Is sometimes the painful duty of a critic to tell an author that his English is faulty, his arguments fallacious and his Imagination a minus quality. But It Is never the duty of a judge to mingle with the dreadful utterance of doom sarcastic remarks about the prisoner's inferior social status, nor is it ever the duty of a critic to mention an author's connection with "gallipots' or to sneer at his poverty or to insist on the fact that his work was originally printed in a journal purchasable for the sum of oae-half penny. T. P.'a Weekly.

925-927 929 WOULD YOU BE MAD? That Is If You Fell Into a Pool Of Dirty Water and Gang Smiled. ONE TRAVELING MAN DID If you were running to catch a street car and should slip and fall in a pool of dirty, muddy water, ruining a brand new suit of clothes, and everybody should laugh at your sad predicament, and besides you should miss your car wouldn't that make you real angry and wouldn't you feel like breaking the seventh commandment? Well it made a traveling man at the Pennsylvania depot mad: too, this afternoon. It is not always funny to see a man fall, but when the object of your attention is directed to a big fat, domicile looking man, why then circumstances sometimes alter cases. The atmosphere was rendered blue for a distance of several rods after the unfortunate accident and he even had to be threatened with arrest before he would desist from such abusive language. As is always the custom in such cases, there was a large crowd present. WORK WAS RESUMED (American News Service) Kenosha, Wis., July 24. Today the Allen tannery resumed operations in all departments and Chester C. Allen, one of the directors of the company, said: "Operations have been resumed in every department of the plant without an outbreak. We can not say just how many men are at work, but I should say half or . at least one-third of the men are back at their old places." Today was pay day at the tannery and all men including the strikers were paid off. DUBLIN WON GAME. Milton, InL, July 24.

CITY LEAGUE GAMES The Y. M. C. A.s defeated the Athletics yesterday afternoon 4 to 3. The batteries for the Y. M. C. ' A.s were Sanders and Myers; for the Athletics H. J. Johnson and Jones. The Starr Pianos took a fall out of the leaders at East haven this afternoon to the tune of 3, to 2. Batteries Yaagi and Snavely for Easthaven; L. Kuhlenbeck and Sullivan for the Starrs. The pitching of Kuhlenbeck was the feature of the game. Casting Metals. As is well known, some metals are unsuitable for casting, while others, like iron, can readily be cast in any desired shape. The property of casting well is said to depend upon whether the metal contracts or expands on solidifying from the liquid form. Iron, like water, expands in solidifying, and hence the solid metal may be seen floating in the liquid iron about it. The expansion causes it to fill the die into which it Is poured, and so It can be cast easily. Gold and silver contract in cooling and therefore are not suitable for casting. Exchange.
