THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1920.

VOCATIONAL REPORT MADE OF THE CITY SCHOOLS BY H'COMB Progress and results of the TOcatlonal department of public schools of Richmond are shown In the annual re

port which H. O. McComb, Tocational bead, has Bent to the rocatlonal department of schools at Indianapolis. McComb came here In September, i 1919, and since then has caused Richmond to assume a leading part In vocational education of the country. His work has been divided into two groups, part time or continuation classes, and vocational machine shop work. In regard to the former, the report Bays the first step was to have the school board enforce the compulsory school law for children between 14 and 16 years old. Therefore all work permits issued last fall contained the clause that the children spend four hours a week in school. "Employers had to be Interviewed and the situation explained," said the report. "Cordial responses were received at the factories. The attitude of the boys and girls was less cordial. Any mention of public school brought out the fact that most of the children bad quit not because of economic necessity, but because of some real or fancied grievance against the school authorities. This prejudice had to be overcome. Assurance was given that the work would be tied as closely as possible to the Industry in which they were engaged. A program to include arithmetic, benchwork, and plays and games was planned. It was soon found that there was another group from the metal working trades and these boys were given some forging, blueprint reading, and wood turning. By this time the group bad grown so that it seemed advisable to re-divide it. A third teacher was engaged and arithmetic, English and letter writing added. The girls presented a problem of a different sort. They were employed mainly in two glove factories. In one of these there was a room set aside for a general recreation room and the manager offered this for the school work. A course was planned in which the three "Rs" were emphasized. To this was added simple hygiene and citizenship. Later the girls from a second glove factory were organized into two groups and meetings planned in the regular high school building. Once a week these girls had the use of the gymnasium. In every possible way they were given to understand that the complete facilities of the public schools were for them. During the year of 1918 and 1919 a fine high school machine shop had been equipped. Four vocational machine shop boys reported for work on the opening of school. With an average of 400 boys in the school, this seemed a . ridiculously small number. With some advertising among some dissatisfied boys both among the school and in the industry several other boys were added to the list. At the opening of the second semester two groups of vocational boys were formed and one group of high school boys. There are now 35 boys in the shop and a full time instructor has been secured. These boys work 15 hours each week in the machine shop and 15 hours divided between English, shop mathematics and mechanical drawing.

ENGLAND DISTANCING

(Continued From Page One.) sul believes it none of his business to help in securing American business. "It is different with the English diplomat. He often goes out of his

way to land an order for the English i

traveler, before it will help in, his country's prosperity. That is the way they are putting England on the map. Carelessness Criticized "The carelessness of the American manufacturer in exporting his goods to South American countries Is also one of the most serious knocks to American trade. "He does not seem to realize that if he doesn't send the goods axactly the way they were ordered that the im

porter often has to pay a heavy fine, imposed by his country. "Rules are very strict in nearly all of the South American countries, and after the importer has to pay a fine on his goods several times, he decides that he will not purchase more goods of Americans because they do not respect his wishes. "Often these wishes are trivial, and seem ridiculous to the American ex

porter, but if he realized how trans

portation facilities" in some of the countries are so bad that the merchant has to make a five-day trip on

mule to get his goods to his place of

business, they would not pack their material in 200-pound boxes when the South American importer ordered them packed in 100-pound boxes. U. S. Capital Must Step In. "It is time for American capital to step in with aid in establishing lighting power, railroads, water works and other public utilities. Approximately nine-tenths of these utilities are now financed by English capital. "One of the best things being done in those countries by Americans is the establishing of chambers of commerce.

COULDN'T BORROW SPRONG Otto H. Spronj?, charged with appropriating $4,685.84 while employed in the Richmond postoffice, said he was 49 years old and had been employed in the Richmond postoffice 15 years when arraigned in the federal court at Indianapolis Tuesday. He said the embezzlement of money had extended over a period of four years and that he did not know how much

he had taken until he saw the report of the postoffice inspector. He did not

offer any excuse for having taken the money, but said he had expected to pay it back when he could borrow the money. He said he had always been unsuccessful in his attempts to borrow. A METHODIST JOKE Methodist attending the North Indiana M. E. conference, in Richmond, were discussing what had become of a number of the old-time ministers they had known. "When the cost of living became so high," said one of the group, "our pas

tor resigned, went to live on his farm and now is In the dairy business." "And I suppose." said another, "he now sells pastorlzed milk."
