Ms, it HtIltli CHAUTAUQUA Beginning only a few days ago on the banks of Lake Chautauqua, one of the foremost forces in modern American life has spread Quickly over the land. In recent years the Chautauqua movement has grown apace until it stands preeminent as a means of relaxation and intellectual regeneration. In some states particularly the western ones, there are hundreds of assemblies. In Iowa alone there are said to be over four hundred of them. It is interesting to see that Just about the time that the newspapers had practically surplanted the orator and his place seemed relegated to the limbo of the Dodo the Chautauqua arose and brought back his power. Of late years we have had no stirring questions like those which moved and brought forth Webster Channing and the other men of power. We have lost to some extent the old Roman Idea of the value of oratory, but it seems probable that should any question arise which is of a critical nature threatening the foundation of the republic that the Chautauqua would play its part in the struggle. This Is hinted at in the recent use of the assembly by 6uch men as Beveridge , and , Bryan and for that matter the other men in congress who have to stand for re-election. It is thought in some quarters that Governor Hughes owes his present place to the fact that the people had been influenced by the Chautauqua. But leaving aside all these things the relaxation of camping, and the many features for the enjoyment of all the members of the family have been at the bottom of the success of the Chautauqua lda. Working on this plan the Chautauqua although apparently of a mushroom growth would seem to be a. fairly permanent idea. This is the basic principle of all success in all departments of life usefulness. Items Gathered in From Far and Near ' Disappearance of Poets. , From the Philadelphia Ledger. Midsummer consideration of the poetical situation by various journals has not elicited the most astonishing fact. One critic examines a certain versifier and tells wherein he is delinquent. Another reviewer shows how another bard is woefully in the wrong atmosphere, using a wrons method and so on. Apparently none of the critics and students of contemporary verse has noticed the really astonishing fact that at last we have reached the era of the total disappearance of American poets and poetasters. Not only have we no poets who achieve the high poetical result, but we apparently lack poetical enthus iasm and aspiration, and a class who merely aim to interpret life, describe manners and enforce great truths and noble philosophies in beautiful and ar tistic form under . the impulse of fecund and aroused imagination.

FEAR!

Do yon have any idea why the Richmond City Water Works made the preposterous schedule of water rates at this time? No rational person looking over that Joker laden document can fail to notice , that great stress is made on the rate' proposition. It filled every-" man with alarm when be saw that $9.00 minimum rate staring him in the face with all its sinister .portent. v r i- ,.u Why did the Richmond City Water Works submit such a propositlon? ..: - " Did, they think that anyone in Richmond would stand for that for a minute? They did not. '., ,., . But the mental caliber of the directors of the Water Works and the two prime movers ia the preparation of this document is so great from previous experience their attorneys are so astute by dint of great familiarity with the subject that there must have been some reason. And this is the reason. - ,

FEARl

They are afraid of the growing sentiment for city control of the water works situation. They are afraid of municipal ownership. They are afraid that the people will insist that the Water Works Company lias been making a good thing out of the water works too long. They do not like to have their net earnings discussed. They are afraid that if all these things are known that the citizens would never grant another contract or not one which does not eventually turn the Water Works over to tre city.

FOR THE TIME IS SURELY COMING WHEN THE CITY WILL OWN THE WATER WORKS. AND THE PEOPLE WILL NO " ALLOW ANYTHING TO BE DONE UNTIL EVERY POSSIBILITY PJR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP HAS BEEN EXAMINED INTO.

FEAR.

That is the reason that shortly after this paper raised the question of municipal ownership of the Water Works and the question of the net earnings of the company, that they took especial pains to raise another question in the minds of the people, in the hope that they would forget the question which will ultimately solve the question of water rates for all time to the satisfaction of the citizens of Richmond.

THAT IS MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

The people cannot be blinded by the Water Works into a discussion of preposterous rates while there is hope of municipal ownership. And as we said when we raised the question the Palladium will use its every effort to secure the Water Works for the citizens of Richmond so that a perpetual franchise, the question of rates and the danger of syndicate oprsjession shall forever be removed from the minds of the citizens and their children and the city of Richmond can stand free of all trouble with one more so-called 'public service corporation.' The people will not therefore be misled by the streaa laid on the rates even if the company should reduce them to one third their present offer. . That this is their intention seems probable in the hope that the citizens minds shall, be appeased and diverted from the thought of -municipal ownership.

THE REASON IS FEAR. Hon. John D. Rockefeller, the heraids' colleges are divided. Get at the Facts.

E A BOY ffl GET A CHffiE

Workshops Open Again on Sept. 1 at Winona Technical Institute, Indianapolis, For Training Boys. When Winona Technical Institnte,' at Indianapolis, "the school that gives the boy a chance," opens Its new year on Sept. 1 it will have seven departments in operation, with the eighth well on the way. Boys who have been taking instruction in practical trades which require two or three years will be back in the Winona workshops and it is expected that a much larger number of new boys than usual will help to send the total enrollment over the highest point the Institute has known since It began In 1905. During the summer the workshops undergo a general overhauling. Machinery is set to rights, material with which the boys work is replenished, and through the coming winter these Bhops, each one a factory in itself, will hum with Industry. The Institute's official "family" has been organized for the year with these officers: President, S. C. Dickey, who is also general manager of Winona Assembly and schools; president of the-board of trustees, Hugh H. Hanna, ; president of. the Atlas Engine Works, Indianapolis; vice-presidents, H. J. Heinz, Pittsburg capitalist; Alexander McDonald, vicepresident of the Standard oil company of Kentucky; John M. Studebaker, of Studebaker Brothers, South Bend; treasurer,' W. J, Richards, of the Union National Bank, Indianapolis; general director,. W. C. Smith; dean.' John H. Gertler. The executive committee Is: H. H. Hanna, Chairman; John H. Hollldayj president of the Union Trust Companyt vice-chairman; W. J. Richards, secretary; H. C. Atkins, of the Atkins Saw Works ; A. A. Barnes, president of the . Udell Works ; S. C. Dickey; M. X Haines, pastor of the First Presbyterian church ; W. H. Hubbard, realestate and insurance; ,T. C. Day of the T. C. Day & Company, realestate; Arthur Jordan, president Meridian Life Insurance Company; J. I Ketcham, ; of the Brown & Ketcham iron works. The oldest and one of the most successful of the Institute's departments is the school of Pharmacy, Although only entering its sixth year, it is the largest school of its kind In Indiana in point of students enrolled, and It is the seventh largest in the United States. The present laws in Indiana has made It necessary for pharmacists and chemists to become educated before thej; . can practice their calling' They must be able as a dispenser of medicines to meet a practicing physician on hjs own grounds,' and ' tinder the law an. apprenticeship? is a dmg; store as a washer of bottles and a dia pensef of soda water will not qualify a ycung man to do pharmacutical. and c'iemical work for the public. The laws are, so rigidly enforced that a druggist I no longer permitted to be Che teacher of bis clerk, and this alone has made it necessary for young' men to turn to schools of pharmacy. The Winona School prepares a young man for work along scientific lines in pharmacies, sugar , refineries, foundaries, tanneries, steel mills, packing houses, and for many lines of business in which a few years ago chemists were unheard of. The Winona School of Lithography, I the only one in North America, which draws Its students from foreign countries as well as from over the United States, has graduated a number of joung men who have since become foremen and superintendents of commercial plants. . Its methods of instruction have succeeded the old way of teaching apprentices in shops. The School has a very extensive equipment, given over entirely to the use of the students, and the instruction carries the young men through every detail of the trade, not only how to perform the work, but why certain effects are. produced. The chemistry of lithography, something never learned by the old lithographer In his apprenticshlp days, has a cocspicious place in the school's Instruction. The preparation of stones, drawing," engraving, transferring, presswork, all necessary steps in lithography, are a part of the schooling. The Institute's School of Printing graduated 83 students last year, a number of them young women who learned machine type-setting. The school gives a student a thorough training all along the line of printing, or a student who has this general knowledge is developed into a specialist as a compositor, pressman, or some other line. The School of Printing has since it was founded kept a waiting list of young men and women who desired to learn the operations of a linotype, not only how to set type by machinery, but also how to repair and take care of this Intricate machine. It Is difficult to find enough good operators to run the machines in the commercial printing plants, as the owners of the machines are too intent In getting finished products from them to give them over to those who desire to learn how to operate them. It Is this limited opportunity in the commercial plants that has caused young men and women to turn to the Winona School in large numbers for the instruction. The School of Tila and Mantel Setting teaches a boy In six months what required four years under the old apprenticeship. iethcd. It carries a student thrrugh all lines of tile work, from the- history and manufacture of tile to the most intricate forms and patterns of construction. Shop lectures) mechanical drawing, estimating on Apntract work are dwelt upon. The loys from, this school have never had 4ny difficulty In finding employment rith the largest tile-making concerns, ( and several of them have become Contractors on their own account. . , TbASchopL of Pjicklaylnc.U to ha

Druggists Forced Into Pharmacy Schools by Indiana Laws Where Various Trades Are Taught. rargtlyexpandeu to'incluue' all of the important building trades, including carpentry, plumbing, painting, and others. The school will train young men that they may follow any one of these trades, or, where they desire, will give them instruction in all that they may become contractors or building superintendents. Not only will they do practical work in the school, but. will earn their way in large part by work done on homes and buildings In Indianapolis. Much preparation has been made for opening the School for Machinists, the equipment given by members of the National Metal Trades - Association making a very large and complete workshop. It will give Instruction In machine, . floor and vise work. In die and tool making. An arrangement has been made under which the work of the students will be done for commercial concerns, and the boys will earn enough almost to pay their own way. : The School for Iron Moulders, established by the National Founders' Association to make up the shortage of 25 to K0 per cent in skilled workmen In the foundries of the country, has been high! successful. The school plant Is a big foundry in itself, where the boys not. only learn the trade, but make good wage while doing so. The instruction begins at the beginning of the tradey and when a student finishes the schooling, he is ready for a permanent place in a commercial foundry, with .many pUces of employment open to him. '; The' school occupies a 110,000 building of brick and steel, which was built for the; purposes of the department, J ' - " A department of the Institute that is in immediate prospect is a school for training hotel stewards and chefs, and it. is, being promoted by the National Stewards'. Association. :This organization' Is -.raising a fund of 1200,000 with which' to erect and equip a large building on the Institute grounds, where It will train stewards and other heads of departments for the hotels of - the United States.' " "Good progress has been made with this project and the cornerstone of the building will probably be laid this fall. The Institute is broadly philanthropic It was not founded for, the purpose Qf paying dividends to the men who have pushed its cause, but it is doing a unique work, one that is far-reaching in its effects. ;.It is. more kn the order of a' T."

Since it is a pioneer in this 'field of educa tion setting .an example for similar schools to follow, the ' signs indicate that coming years will develop tne Winona Institute into one of the wonders of the industrial life in this country.
