Women Required in Industrial Field.
Glasgow, Scotland.—The Glasgow
Advisory Committee is now busy with
the task of ‘extending the scope of
women’s work, as the necessity for
keeping the industries of the country
going so that exports may be main-
tained is becoming more and more
pressing. The ranks of the industrial,
commercial and professional classes
have been greatly depleted owing to
the war, and the forthcoming with-
drawal of many more men in the near
future has rendered it necessary that
measures be taken to meet the situa-
tion by the extension of the em-
ployment of women. Women are
now to be found in occupations
which two years ago would have
been considered quite unsuitable.
They are now familiar figures
as car conductors, and as muni-
tion workers. But the need for work-
ers is equally urgent in the ordinary
industries of the country. The Board
of Trade has therefore appointed lo-
cal advisory committees on women’s
employment. Statistics compiled
from the national register show that
there is still a very large number of
unemployed women, not only in the
leisured classes but in the middle and
respectable working classes. The ad-
visory committees, formed all over
the country, aim not so much at find-
ing labor for munition works or as-
sisting to transfer women from one
industry to another, as at discovering
and inducing into the ranks of labor
those who are not employed. It will
be the duty of the committees to dis-
cover the labor, and acting with em-
ployers and labor exchanges to allot
the women to the employment
most suitable for them. Married
women who have previously been
trained in industrial work will be
asked to return to it. The difficulty
of taking a full day’s work is being
met by some firms, who instead of a
ten or twelve hours’ day, allow a six
or eight hours’ spell in cases where it
is desired, so that some time may be
available for attending to the family.
The committee met in Glasgow City
Chambers to discuss the work to be
done under the scheme. Subcommit-
tees were appointed, one to deal with
the demand for labor, one with sup-
ply, and a third to look after the wel-
fare of the women by dealing with the
question of insufficient traveling facil-
ities to and from their work, and by
seeing to their proper lodging. De-
tails of the scheme can be had from
the secretary of the Labor Advisory
Committee, 104 West George street.
. An Exception.
“Complaining never gets you any-
thing,” said the man who has a fond-
ness for trite maxims. :
“Oh, I don’t know about that,”
answered the leap-year husband. “I
complained of being lonely once and;
got a wife.”—Birmingham Age-Her-
ald. ;
A Different View.
“I saw you at the circus, Dobbins.”
“Yes, the children—"
“Oh, don’t give us the old excuse!”
“The children were all away in the
country, and I had a chance to take in
the show and enjoy myself.”—Brown-
ing’s Magazine.
Sarcasm.
“What is meant by charging an ac-
count to profit and loss?”
“The word profit in that phrase,”
said the head bookkeeper, “is sar-
casm.”—Detroit Free Press.
“320 Acres a Misfortune—640 Acres a
Calamity.
In the “American Magazine” is an
article on Arnold Martin whose farm-
ing system is being investigated by
the Government and who is consider-
ed the best intensive farmer in Amer-
ica.
“The intensive methods pursued by
him are of particular interest,” we
read. “The land is kept busy from
spring until fall. At the last cultiva-
tion of potatoes corn is planted be-
tween the rows. A full crop of pota-
toes and a fair crop of corn is produc-
ed from the same ground. As many
as seven hundred bushels of potatoes
and seventy-five bushels of corn are
produced from each acre planted in
this way.
“After the potatoes ripen the corn
keeps the weeds down. By the time |
the corn needs the ground, the pota-
toes are ripe and the corn is in the
shock before it is time to dig the pota-
toes. Some parts of the potato patch
are sown with millet and sorghum
Just before the last cultivation. This
makes a good crop of feed and does
not hurt the potatoes. Squashes are
sometimes planted in the same way.
The onion patches grow corn and mel-
ons, which are planted in ‘rows be-
tween the onions.
“Part of the orchard is set with !
small fruit and part is planted with !
potatoes and truck. In dry spells all |
the water that the windmill will pump |
is used for irrigation, and it is here |
that the intensive farming reaches its
height. 'the water from the well
flows directly to the ditches as pump-
ed. A little manure is scattered in the
ditches to prevent washing. The orch-
ard at one time contained 900 pear,
200 cherry, 800 peach and a few apple
trees. The trees are planted in
straight rows, and between the trees
are raspberry bushes, tomatoes, cab-
bage and sweet potatoes, with beets
close by.
“Mr. Martin has said: ‘Twenty
acre is all I want to farm. That's
enough land for any man; 320 acres
is a misfortune, and 640 acres is a ca-
lamity.
A Queer Japanese Method of Teach-
ing Morals.
In the “American Magazine” Ray
Stannard Baker gives the following
account of a curious feature of Japan-
ese school instruction:
“Visiting the Japanese schools in
Hawaii several years ago I was im-
pressed with one featurc unknown to
American schools. This was an inter-
esting series of colored pictures with
texts in the Japanese language, illus-
trating the model conduct expected of
Japanese children upon a great varie-
ty of occasions. These were distribut-
ed about on the walls of the school-
rooms and frequently changed. When
I expressed my appreciation of this
work one of the teachers said: “How
shall a child know how to act unless

he is taught? which seemed tobe a
soundly sensible remark. And yet in
America (until recently,) while relig-
ious teaching has been barred
from the public schools, no substitute
involving thorough instruction or
morals has been developed. The up-
building of moral ideals, upon which
character rests, has been left to such
incidental and indirect instructions as
might come out of the school work.
The result is that large numbers of
American children—not only those
whose home life is poor or whose
church connecticns are weak, but
thousands of others—leave school
with only the haziest ideas of what is
right and what is wrong.”
Right in Line.
“I heard you got badly bitten in
that transaction.”
“Yes, I think it must have been by
a land shark.”—Baltimore American.
