I. V. JACKSOt ing., pointing out that the former work was but vaguely understood and persistently misunderstood. Dr. IJonsers idea was that schools should get away from the discijdinary idea, suggested by ma.iual training and should take up work in practical arts of which manual training would be a by-product. He illustrated his point by saying1 that he did not believe that there should be "manual traininT" courses anymore than there she uld be "memory training" courses. The speaker held that the general education phase of school work should make way for the vocational phase in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. He outlined a plan whereby the industrial arts could be applied in the lower grades and be made to produce a more p actlcal education than is secured by means of the present curriculum of the public school. The industrial arts, he explained as being1 those which had to do with working over material so as to increase its value. Dr. lionser explained in detail how pupils could be taught concerning fod. clothing1, shelter, utensils, tools, machinery and records in such manner that their attention would -bo carried to all those thinys allied to the subjects mentioned. J 11 this manner the pupil's education would be along lines which would bnn' him in touch in a practical way witli the things of every day j lite and it would aIo be made possible for teachers to learn what each ' - 1 1. -i.--.L .1 e pupil was best baving school. adapted 4Ui after (iirls Have- Opportunity. Miss Cleo Murtland. secretary of tlie National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, in charge f women's work, spoke on "Opportunities for Women in -Salesmanship." In Miss Murtland's opinion the opportunities for women are j increasing both in the way of earnI ing a living and in being of service to society. A girl's work is no I longer looked upon as being merely j an incident in her life, said the i speaker. Mit it s considered as afJ fording her the chance of being a j (-.elf-supporting member of society. The speaker told of how the I owiu-rs of large department stores wire looking more and more tu the I high schools anil to colleges for their I sales persons and that every oppor1 unity was being given for the scientific trailing of those employed. i Kffot t is being made in the bis: stores to ha- the elerks trained in the most effeclho manner of handling merchandise and to have a thorough knowledge of the merchrt nd ise. The social standing of a girl is no b-nger lowered when she takes a position as a saleslady, according to Miss Murtland. and she no longer finds herself entering upon a monotonous career and one lacking in opportunity. The large stores are learning to solve the problem of promotion so that the time has come when the properly qualified saleslady can look ahead to securing a position of importance and one with a lare salary attached. The speaker pointed out how proper application or vocational training in the public school would be an aid in fitting girls for store positions and how. with a broad knowledge (if those thhius. handled ' iob held bv a sales- ! m a ladv store, th need not be other than a most I J it: esting and educating jot NOVELIST VISITS HERE I 'earl Holes oll spends Week l'.nd With Keluhe.

W, JACKSON NEW

D ARK BOARD HEAD Succeeds Richard Elbel Completion of Boulevard System is Urged. Irvin W. Jackson is the new head of South Bend's hoard of park commissioners, elected Friday night to succeed Richard Elbel. who relinfmished the office after holding it twice during his six years as a member of the board. Mr. Elbel starts on the serving of his seventh year as i member of the park board, and as its oldest member in point of active service. Following routine business, Mr. Elbel addressed the hoard members on the work of the past few years and made a few Suggestion as to necessary action for the coming period. He lauded the work of the board as a whole and expressed his thanks for the cooperation of its member?. "The past two years." he said, "hae seen more accomplished by the board of park cornmissionaries than ever before in the board's history.' Woultl Complete I Joule artls. The purchase of a lot in the ivar of the Cutter factory in order to complete the boulevard system was urged by Mr. Elbel. who declared it a necessity owing to provisions of a 99-year lease with the Chicago. South Bend & Northern Indiana Railway Co., whereby, unless action was taken this year, the city would lose Its leasehold on the property. A movement was made to purchase the land la.st year but was dropped owing- to remonstrance. "Th? same is true of the Kay tract, along the St. Joseph river beyond the Wood estate. The road must be built there within the next year to hold the land for the city." Iiuid Is Needed. A suggestion was made as to the securing of land adjacent to Coquillard park on the east side of the river. The need of this extra land was shown in that here are shrubs and flowers for the various parks transplanted each year. Owing to the excellent condition of the soil, this is adaptable ground for the transplanting of trees from the nursery at Studebaker park, said Mr. Elbel. He brought to the board's attention the fact that 17,000 plants had been placed in Coquillard park last year. "If we can't buy land adjacent to this park, we must make arrangements to rent a tract." he said. "One of the greatest necessities of the park system at this time," declared Mr. Elbel. "is a new conservatory and green house to replace the present structure in Howard park. The green house there is a disgrace to the city, and besides being old-fashioned and dilapidated, it is not large enough by far to accommodate the needs of the board. Some 20,000 plants were propagated there last year, and so cramped were they that little good was resultant. "The proper place for the conservatory." continued Mr. Elbel." is Eeeper park adjoining the pumping station, where steam from the exhausts can be used for heating purposes. I'xpeils Aid I'nuii Citizen. "I have taken this matter up with a private citizen, and. while nothing definite is assured, I can easily say it is highly probable he w ill donate to the city a new and modern green house at Eeeper park." Mr. Elbel could not disclose the name of the probable donor, he said, following the meeting. Following Mr. Elbel's address, the election of officers was held, with Mr. Jackson, president: Dr. E. J. Eent, vice president, and A. P. Perley again secretary of the board. He. sides acting in this capacity. Mr. Perley will have charge of the clerical work in the districting of the city for park purposes, in compliance with the recent park ordinance. It will take a year or more for this work, said Mr. Elbel. Discuss Superintendent. The matter of securing a park superintendent was broached by W. W. Hidenour. with a suggestion that a Michigan man. 1?. E. Schaefer. be appointed to the place. However, action was deferred until other applicants could be heard from. It is the desire of the hoard, if nossible. to secure an Indiana man. and Dean Coulter of Purdue universilv wili be 'ked concerning available matenal. Foremen of the parks were re-em-pU'.ved. and at a raise in .'alary from i $60 to $70 a month. The".- requested i this increase some time aeo. ' salary of common laborers The was raised from 17 1-2 to 2o cents an j hour. LODGE NOTES Plans for a hi r ve on held March 2 u."?

"THE niUTII OF A NATION". Among all the film actors playing historical characters in "The Birth of a Nation" spectacle to be ?'en at the Oliver for four days starting Sundi.y matinee. Howard Gaye and Donabl Crisp have received the most lompliments on the faithfulness of their work, the euie as (Jen. Robert E. Eee and the other as Gen. U. i Grant. The picture shows Gen. Dee surrendering to Gen. Grant in the Wilmer-McLean mansion at Appomattox Court House. Va., April Ö, 1 S 6 5. It is a most faithful reproduction of all the personages In the great historic scene and of tbe minute details of tho action. It is well known that many sup porters of tho defeated confederacy wished to prolong the struggle by means of a guerrill warfare similar to that used by the Boers towards the dose of the Anglo-Boer war. n fact! John Wilkes Booth supposed that inj killing President JJncoIn he would j have the support of the south in r new strucgle. But Gen. Eee wp.s of a' different temper. He realized that the south had been beaten in a fair struggle on the fields of battle and that prolonging the fighting would merely add to the horrors and miseries endured by his people. There-i fore, after the battle of Five Porks, be opened negotiations -with Grant . and on the morning of April 9 under! the budding apple trees of an Appo- ! matto.x orchard were eletermined the terms of pevtjee which were formally written down at the Wilmer-McLean houso in the afternoon. Lee had dressed for bis last public occasion with great care. Grant on the contrary lacked his full dress and appeared in the "fatigue" and dusty jack boots of the hard campaign. Strangely- enough Gen. Leo had no pencil to write -with. A pocket ink stand and pen were lent by an officer of the general staff, and it was with these that the historic document of surrender was written. Afterwards an effort was made to arrest and indict Ixe for treason but Grant, who knew Ivee's nobility of character and how he had fulfilled to the letter all the surrender obligations, prevented any such disgraceful sequel to the great event. high .;iNKs." "High Jinks." the musical jollity, which Arthur Ilammerstein will present at the Oliver this afternoon and tonight is the joint production of two men whose najnes are already eminent in the field of sta.ge entertainment, and who are credited with leaching their respective climaxes in the musical comedy, which ran a whole season at t he Casino in NewYork.
