"Fitter racking Hetter Marking and Star l.xi .roes Shipments Hlsht." In Fpe.iklm: about the efforts blnK mad" by th compinv at present to 1 Ur shipping conditions-, Mr. E1 r r Haid: "The pre-." comyany h as furiously applied it.df to the task of improving th express .tvire. A mt.on-ub'e campaign b bein InuncJiHl with this end in view, and the first subject to receive attention that of claims." "On the thory that the best way to treat a 1 aim is to prevent it, tho company hopes to Jc a ?re.it tleal in this direction, first by considerable work in the internal optratir.tr o: ' i ni.ation of the .service and. eco' d!;.'. by th- cooperation of ship- ! r-. If rl.a!ii., whith r-salt from i:iiproper or lusuffpjlent wrappin'-T of cxr :''.'' v-i ohipmrnts. are elirninatei, both th- express service and the lib!!- ;s:n it will ' b benr-fited.

They must travel with mls'-eilaneobs collections of article of all Mzis and weights and must ! a'de to stand lor tha-.nselves." The p-.iker 1 ; ou i a rt 1 the nro of old or s- ()hd hand containers :.inl iirtred the necer-sxty of shippers i : : k i ii c their packages ckarly and (oin-ctlv. always jutting the naiin-s ani (blrtses of both the shipper and (onsii;n(e on the outside, while in the cae of bau'ar.e, to place similar information inside of the shipments. "All old marks on pack

ages should be removed," said Mr. Iederer. Many 'o Mark' lMckaw. In referrir.i; to the "No Mirk" evil, the speaker said: "It is an evil that culls for diastic .action not only from us but by the. shinning public. From July 1 to Nov. 30 o? last year the "No Mark" bureaus of the compuny received 127, packages, an nveratre of over 2S.O00 a month which could net be delivered owin? to the fact that they were entirely without identification marks of any sort. The larper percent of thefe comprise hardware, automobile tires and rersonal baggage. In this cam -

I aipn it i-- proposed that all express 'xployes rt reiving shipments from

the t i.eral public will be required to exercise proier care, in the interest of the hipper as well as of thu service. This means that In the future the drivers and receiving clerks will more closely examine all articles rect-ive-d for shipment. "We urre the executives of business housed to take a personal interest in their shij ping departments, t ree that they are usinjr the bet methods in this respect. One reason why express claims should be reduced is that a shipment i.s never n ode for the purpose v having it result in a claim. The prudent shipper with an eye to future business wants to oehver the property to the coi siJiee and the consismei wants the same property intact." The auent told of the part the company was playing in the campaign by addressing all of its employes.

"Four Minute" talks are being made to the employes and the merv are urged to seek the cooperation of the shippers In bettering conditions. Meetings of thi nature among the employes of the cernpany are being held throuphout the entire country to aid in this work. A second of tho meetings anions the employes will b held by the local office next week. A meeting of the committeo apjKdnted to investigate the conditions in South Bend will be held In he very near futur. Among the many things to be investigated by the committee is the question of whether the local office is larpe enough to handle the large amount of shipments from South liend.

The work being done by the Chi- j

by Prof. Fred K. Smith of that school at a meeting of the Social Service council held in the Jefferson hotel last evening. Prior to coming to the parental school, Prof. Smith was principal of the largest grammar school In Chicago. He has devoted 2 3 years to the control of boys and gave a very interesting talk to 45 members of the council. Dinner was served at 6:15 o'clock, which was followed by three songs by Mrs. Holverschied, accompanied by Mrs. Jame-1 Cover. In speaking of the school In Chicago. Prof. Smith said: "All the boys received at the school are sent

there by the juvenile court on either of three charges truancy, delinquency and incorrigibility. They are kept in this institution four months and then paroled as they show merit. At present there arc 320 boys enrolled in the school. The yearly enrollment amounts to 8 00 boys. Ninety percent of the boys come from the slum district of the city. No expense is spared in conducting this school, and its 'yearly maintenance amounts to $1(0.0!jO. This school has the highest paid instructors of any school in the United States, as each man is a specialist in his elepartmemt. "Only a very small percentage of the boys graduating from this institution ever return. We rely entirely upon the boys' honor an1 develop the best instincts which eliminate bad qualities." Preceding Prof. Smith's addres?, Rev. A. M. Eells. D. D., gave a short talk during which he outlined tho aims of the Social Service council in a comprehensive way. V. K. Miller, president of the council, presided at tho meeting.

Two courses will be taught, "Technique of Trade Training," and "Observation and Practice Teaching." The first is a CO hour course and the second a 60 hour course.

To qualify for the school one must furnish proof that they have had at least two years.' successful trade experience beyond the apprenticeship stage, or beyond the time they began to draw a journeyman's wage.

Stu- ! dents taking trade and industrial teacher training courses and not becoming teachers In public vocational ! schools may find peveral important

uses in Industrial plants for such j

preparation as they have made. Among these opportunities may b mentioned the training of workers entering industrial employment in factory training schools and the directing of courses for the advancement of workers already employed.

Other opportunities include the work of teaching the foreman, shop superintendent and the employment manager.
