TEACHERS PREPARE FDR FUTURE WORK Vocational Training to Be Discussed at Bankers Conference.

Both town and rural school teachers are awakening to the fact that if they are to hold their positions they must acquire some new qualifications, for lines of work which are entirely new to them must be taken up in the schools next fall when the vocational law goes intot operation. This fact, too, is causing the township trustees, county superintendents and other school authorities a good deal of concern. All over Indiana the public and the school officials are much interested in giving the schools a good start under the new law, but it is evident that the teachers will, during the coming summer, have to make diligent preparations for It if this kind of start is made. Since the law requires industrial trades to be taught in town schools

and agriculture is to become a part of the regular instruction in rural schools, teachers will find that much more will be .required v of them. In many city schools women will have to become teachers In the use of the handsaw and other, mechanical tools, and young men and women teachers who 'hold places in the rural schools will find that they must teach treat-, ment of soils, seed testing and other farming subjects. Under the new law, too, men teachars in rural schools will have to teach domestic science and home economics, unless the school authorities make provision for special teachers who are especially trained in the subjects. Altogether, the new law Is going to upset old traditions in Indiana schools. : The new law, too, which provides for the appointment of expert farming agents In each county, is expected to turn country school houses into real social centers, for among the many duties of these agents will be to organize boys' and gir)s clubs, farmers' institutes, give lectures on agricultural and country life topics, and all of these affairs will' be held at the rural school houses. , School officials and teachers over Indiana are now considerably in the dark as to how to proceed under the vocational law. This ll"We of the reasons why the Indiana Bankers'-Association has called a state conference on agriculture and country life in Indiana, for June 3 and 4 at Indianapolis. The con

ference will, through many speakers attempt to give the men and women in charge of the schools information on how to make the new law successful in its operations. It is expected that the conference will be largely attended by school officers and teachers.

CLEARED AWAY Proper Food Put the Troubles Away.

t Our own troubles always seem more severe than any others. But when a man is unable to eat even a light 'breakfast, for years, without sever distress, he has trouble enough. It Is Bmall wonder he likes to tell ,of food which cleared away the troubles. . "I am glad of the opportunity to tell of the good Grape-Nuts has done for me," writes a N. H. man. "For many years I was unable to eat even a light breakfast without great suffering. "After eating I would suddenly be seized "with an" attack of colic and vomiting. This would be followed by headache and jnlaery that would sometimes last a week or more, leaving me so weak I could hardly sit up or walk. "'"Since I began to eat Grape-Nuts I have been free from the old troubles. I usually eat Grape-Nuts one or more tiroes a day, taking it at the beginning of the meal. Now I can eat almost any thing I want without trouble. "When I began to iise Grape-Nuts I was way under my usual weight, now I weigh 30 pounds more than I ever weighed in my life, and I am glad to speak of the food that has worked tr.; change."

The case , will be heard during the October term of court.

Enjoyd What He Paid Fop. It is interesting to note the effect that reputation has on those who are not good critics of the efforts of public performers, as a clerk In a downtown bank was telling. I happen to know a celebrated concert artist," he said. "One evening she was in the city and had nothing to do, so she came up to our very humble flat in Harlem to spend a qniet, homelike hour or two. The night was warm, and the windows were open. After dinner she sat down at the piano and sang several songs for us. The next day I heard that one of our neighbors complained loudly about the 'yelling' in our flat and said that such nui sances ought to be prohibited. Two nights later that same neighbor paid $2 a seat for himself, his wife and bis daughter to hear our friend sing at a concert." New York Sun.

Ptolemy's Big Boat. Ptolemy (Philopator) was fond of building big boats. One of these is said to have been 420 feet long. 57 feet broad and 72 feet deep from the highest point of the stern. This vessel had four rudders or what some would call steering oars, as they were not fastened, each forty-five feet long. She carried 4.000 rowers, besides 3.000 marines, a large body of servants under her decks and stores and provisions. Her oars were fifty-seven feet long, and the handles were weighted with lead. There were 2.000 rowers on a side, and it is supposed that these were divided into five banks. That this ex traordinary vessel ever put to sea is doubted, but that she was launched and used at times, if only for display, several historians are agreed.

A Case In Arithmetic The teacher was hearing her class of small boys in mathematics. "Edgar," she said, "if your father can do a piece of work in seven days and your Uncle William can do it in nine days, how long would it take both of them to do it?" ; "They would never get it done." answered the boy earnestly.

PRESSURE USED TO " BOOST THE RATES Special Interests Are Making Strong Attack Upon the Senate Now.

(National Nws Association) WASHINGTON. May 15. More than L500 briefs have been filed with the senate finance committee on items affected by the Underwood tariff bill since that measure has reached the senate. Personal Interviews have been granted to more than 500 persons interested In manufacturing and im

porting during the last ten days, and countless letters and messages have been received and read. This is the answer of the members of the finance committee to the criticism directed against them by Republicans because they have not granted public hearings. Chairman Simmons of the finance committee declared that hearings were not necessary because men . were constantly being heard and no Interest was being denied an opportunity of laying its case before the committee. The members of the sub committee have promised personal interviews to scores of business men and at least 100 men interested in the income tax have sought appointments.

GIVES HIS APPROVAL. WASHINGTON, May 15 President Wilson has given his approval to Rep. Carter Glass' currency reform bill as to the principal features, it was learned today. The president is In doubt, however, as to whether the bill should be strictly a party measure. Majority Leader Underwood and Rep. Glass believe it should be made a distinctly Democratic bill, ,whlle many other Democrats in the house think that the approval of the house Republicans should be obtained. Underwood will select the Democratic members of the committee next week and then they will be let into the secret of the bill's provisions. Minority Leader Mann today declared he will be ready to name the Republican members of the committee whenever the Democrats call for the list. It is certain the Democratic leaders will declare against the insertion in the bill of any proposition to reform Wall street along the lines suggested in the report of the money lnestigating committee.

EASTERN STAR TO HOLD INITIATION

READING THE ENVELOPES.

They Tell More Than the Nam. and Address to the Postman. Envelopes often tell me more about a man's financial standing than could the best "private Inquiry agency." You can't "swank" a postman. And when I deliver on a certain day every month an official envelope with the relief stamp of a furniture firm on the back of it I know pretty well that the envelope contains the receipt for an installment on the furniture. When that envelope fails to turn up I keep an eye open for the other signs of impending bankruptcy. An envelope with a crease down the middle has obviously been inclosed in another envelope. This tells me the handwriting of the householder and the kind of stationery he uses. When I deliver one of these day after day at the same house I know that the occupant is out of work and is answering advertisements. But when the envelopes stop coming 1 am left to wonder whether the applicant has been successful or can afford no more stamps. Sometimes there is tragedy In envelopes. There was a young fellow who used to stare down at me from bohind the window curtain so anxious to see what I'd got in my hand that he wouldn't wait till I'd pulled the bell. I soon tumbled to his job, for by nearly every post there would be a long envelope creased down the middle, showing it was a return. A writer he was. Pearson's Weekly.
