The Value of Technical Schools By DR. FRANK W. GUNSAULUS, President of Armour Institute. our statesmen have overestimated the fact fc.. l ' tlic position of America in the markets of tlie world is not a mat s' ter so much of wheat as of steel. W* Agricultural America is always likely to Iglf v v/ dominate over agricultural Germany, and " France, and England. „• jk Now, take these nations in the same or der, and their importance to us as competi tors f«>r tlie marketing of a national product are first, second, and third, not so much bc cause of the relation of either one of them to the harvests from the soil, as because of their relation to what may he made by the investment of educated brains through trained hands, which deal with the single fact of iron ore. This solitary fact called iron ore has been chosen from the company of many others, not because it is unlike them. It is the one upon which the Amer ican artisan is most likely to manifest his character. 1 eehnical education has everywhere touched some substance or set of forces and almost magically made its importance transcendent. For example, it is technical education which lias entered the slaughter house and oil refineries and made the by-products of more importance as to pioportional profit than anything else. The chemical engineer comes to the mining engineer of to-day and helps him to find in the dump as valuable a gold mine as was the original discovery. THE WASTES OF YESTERDAY ARE ALL TO BE RE DEEMED TO-MORROW BY A FIXER HAND, RULED AND GUIDED BY A FINER BRAIN. I lie foresight, therefore, of 15 years ago which made wise men prophcc} that technical education in America would open the most ex pansive doorway into European and .Asiatic markets was true. Predic tion has been made a brilliant reality. The American workman in the >!iop to-day either a technically educated man, or he does his work under the well ascertained methods and leadership which modern tech nical education furnishes. ' Hll wheat has had its market of unique size not so much because it was better wheat as because there was more of it, and the world of the- east was hungry. Take a piece of iron and let a trained American make it into steel, and out of that let him make the best thing he can by the investment of his educated power, and the result is something that does not make its way so much by quantity as by quality. Education is that training which enables a man to produce quality. Qu.ditj means less of the thing and more thinking in the product. Wheat cannot be improved so much by educating the wheat producer as stici. lor example, can be improved and the man himself improved by adding ideas to it, or multiplying it bv ideas. England lost her place and the English workman lost his position in the world because manual training and engineering education have been of less importance to that country than wars in South Africa. If the attention paid to intrenching the church and toryism through an absurd system of priestly education had been paid to the training of English brains and English hands in technical pursuits, the case of Eng land in the markets of the world would have been different. in the long run, the best will be both the cheapest and the easiest to sell. Prance has passed England in the race. Germany has passed I'iance. 1 lie invasion of Europe by American manufactures is the in vasion of uneducated and untrained territory by the technically equipped. Psychology a Cure for Divorce By MISS ADA C. SWEET, Dean of KusUin University. E s "™*LAk\ to know your husband or the man whom vou I intend to make your husband, is the motto which we I would seek to have the women of this country adopt. Psychology has its place in the domestic economy, and & °i l ' 1C slll, '- v branch of learning should be made a K l"' 'minent feature of every young woman's education. Many, if not the majority, of divorces arc the result of the failure of women to understand their husbands. '1 hey do not know how to cater to their wants or understand their moods. They are out of sympathy with them and the husbands, under standing that, seek solace and comfort elsewhere. Psychological studies would help to do away with these deplorable conditions. If the course of study we propose to establish at Ruskin university were taught in women's institutions generally, we believe that it would tend to decrease the number of divorces, and there would not be 500,000 divorces granted every year. A new kind of "new woman" is needed, one who has been taught how to be a wife and mother. What is needed to-day is a de crease in the number of business women as well as the number of divorces and an increase in the women who will be model wives instead of intellectual giants. Special courses in "housewifery" should be taught similar in many respects to the one taught in French schools. Domestic arts, the study of the properties of various foods, and their scientific value, domestic bookkeeping and cookery should be taught, and the study of stenography and other subjects that tend to lead a woman into a business career should be discouraged. And when our young wo men are educated along these lines divorces will rapidly decrease. Public Iligh Schools in the I Vest By PROF. ANDREW S. DRAPER, President of the University of Illinois. | |N E great side to the marvelous civilization of the west, and I I ont ' which is either forgotten or ignored, is the exalted place which the public high school and its feeder, the common school, hold in the esteem and love of the people of that l%#Pa r mit section * Ihc east ,UIS liltl ° conception of the feeling, i I ' Public high school building is the most prominent of BP4 5 bl,il<linsrs in a ucsUrn vi »age or city. In all moderation it m:iy Sai<J l ' iat a ucs,crr, er has a far more general and a wanner idling towards all kinds of educational work than i.-> the case in the east. The east cannot appreciate the feeling# of the western people for their -drools. for the reason that in the east the good old "common soli io] has ceased to be what it once was, "common" to all, and is not now g< od enough for the eastern man of wealth, and he educates his chiklreu el ..where. It is nog so in the west. There is no public #chool qiM-sti. 1 there. The mass. , () f the people of the west support the public h h hod. The educational entiment of the west lead# also to the w ling :pport of the college, and universities for all the people. The uuiver ■ticj ct tlu- wot arc the pride 01 the masses. CAMERON COUNTY PKKSS, THURSDAY, JUI«Y 23. I9o^ MANY BROKEN HEADS. Ttvn Untile* llctwceii Clilrnifn lllu*" roau nii<l I'rlcntl* of Mrllwra. Chicago, July Hi. Desperate fight ing between the police til id the strik ers of tlu- Kellogg Switchboard Co. took place Wednesday afternoon and evening, when the company attempt ed to send freight to some of the railroad depots. In one instance the police opened lire with revolvers, and although the fusillade was continued for several minutes nobody was in jured. Later there was a fight in which no revolvers were used, and the police laid out a number of men, some of whom were left in the street until their friends came back and picked them up. The first light occurred when a truck loaded with freight escorted liy police bound for the Hurlington de pot was passing an unfinished build ing at the corner of Harrison and I'eoria streets. \ howling mob of :i thousand men and boys was follow ing close upon the police and pelting them with stones and sticks. Team sters who sympathized with Ihe strikers managed to get their wagons into the way of the Kellogg Co.'s wagon as it reached I'eoria street and occasioned a blockade. The po-, lice were endeavoring to clear the street when the workmen on the un finished building showered them with bricks. The oflieers drew their revol vers and fired at the workmen, who lied to the interior of tlie building. The second fight occurred when the police were escorting a wagon load of freight to the warehouse of the Terminal Transfer Co. at Ogden ave nue and Twelfth street. A mob fully 3,000 strong 1 followed the wagon and although the police were outnumber ed one hundred to one, they took the wagon safely to the depot. The mob had greatly increased by the time the wagon was ready to make the return trip. The mob pelted tlicm with stones and hurled vile epithets at them. The climax came at Congress street and Ogden avenue, when a pri vate watchman who had no particu lar call to mix in the trouble on either side, fired at one of the mob. The shot went wild, but it inflamed the mob to the highest degree and they charged down on the police. The latter were waiting for the crowd and when it arrived the oflieers went at it with fisfs and clubs, do/en men with broken heads were left lying in the streets where they had been knocked by the ollieers. Twenty arrests were made. Chicago, July IS —The riotous eon duet of the strikers of the Kellogg Switchboard Co. and their sympa thizers during the last four days im pelled Mayor Harrison to issue a proclamation last night urging all people to remain away from the scene of the trouble and calling upon the rioters to cease from their work. The proclamation insists that all people must keep off the streets near to and refrain from gathering in crowds around the Kellogg plant, and declares that all persons who do this, or in any other way interfere with the police by the forming of block ades. would promptly be arrested and punished. A White Nan I* l.viiclif <l. . Maysville, Ky., July 10.—Enraged at the tardiness of the courts, a mob broke into the Fleiuingslmrg jail yes terday and hanged William Thacker, a white man, who had been given a life sentence for the murder of John (Jordon two years ago. Thacker in a quarrel with Cordon, at Foxport, shot and killed him and then sat on the body, Winchester in hand, while lie smoked his pipe and dared any fine to attempt to arrest him. At the time Thacker escaped, but was later arrested and lodged in jail at Fleniingsburg. He was f*ivi>ii two trials and finally got a life sentence. B'uiiic on a Stcuiiiliont. Clayton, X.

V., July 17. —Presi- dent Itoosevelt is deeply interested in the financial legislation. Asa stu dent of affairs lie hud noted for a long time the necessity of financial legislation of a remedial character and yesterday he expressed to Sena tor Lodge, of Massachusetts, liis de sire that early action upon the sub ject should lie taken by congress along the lines of his recent message and speeches. Indeed, it can be said he hopes action ill be inifiated at the extra session of congress which he will call on Monday, November Senator Lodge arrived here Thurs day morning and passed the day with the president at Sagamore Hill, lie is a member of the Alaskan boundary commission, which is to begin its ses sions in London in September. lie fore sailing for Kngland today he came to Oyster Hay to consider with i the president, among other things, the work of the commission. before his departure Senator Lodge gave to the press a statement con cerning his conference with the pres ident. In this statement the presi dent's hopes regarding financial leg islation are reflected. "Yes," the senator continued, in response to an inquiry whether he had discussed with President Roose velt the proposed extra session of congress, "we considered it. at some length. "You know, of course, that an ex tra session is to be called to meet on Monday, November !), immediately following the fall elections. The ses sion will lie called primarily for the purpose of enacting legislation ap provingl the Cuban treaty which was ratified by the senate last spring. The president hopes, however, as I do, that we shall be able to take up for early consideration financial legisla tion along the lines of his message and speeches since he became presi dent. In this legislation the presi dent takes the deepest interest." COAL MINERS' GRIEVANCES. Conciliation Hoard Kemlers Decisions on Three Complaints.

The real heroines of every clay are in our homes. Frequently, how ever, it is a mistaken and useless heroism. Women seem to listen to every call of duty except the supremo one that tells them to guard their health. How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement painful and keeps the nervous system unstrung? Irritability takes the place of happiness and amiability: and weakness and suffering takes the place of health and strength. As long as they can drag themselves around, women continue to woik and perform their household duties. They have been led to believe that suffering is necessary because they are women. What a mistake! The use of Lydia 11. Pinltham's Vegetable Compound will banish pain and restore happiness. Don't resort to strong stimulants or nar cotics when this great strengthening, healing remedy for women u always within reach. FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO V.'OMEX.

My trouble was female weakness in its worst form and I was in a very bad condition. I could not perform my household duties, my back ached, I was extremely nervous, and I could n<>t eat or sleep, and the bearing-down pains were terrible. My husband spent hundreds of dollars to get me well, and all the medicine that the doctors prescribed failed to do mo any pood ; I resorted to an operation which the physician said was necessary to restore me to health, but I suffered more after it than I did before ; I had hemorrhages of the womb that nothing could seem to stop. " I noticed one of your advertisements and wrote you for advice, I re ceived your reply and carefully followed all instructions. I immediately began to get stronger, and in two weeks was about the house. I took eight bottles of Eydia E. Piukliam's Vegetable Compound and continued following your advice, and to-day I am a well woman.

I doctored for years with doetors'and other remedies but received only temporary relief. " I began taking your medicine, and had not taken it lonp before I was feeling better. My husband said that I should keep right on taking it as long, as it gave me relief from my suffering, as I could not expect to be cured by one or two bottles. I did so and am now able to be on my feet and work hard all day, and goto bed and rest at night. Thanks to your Vegetable Com pound I ain certainly grateful for the relief it gave me. It is the mother's greiit friend. I would not be without it in my house, for when 1 feel tired or out of sorts 1 take«a few doses and feel all right.
