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.

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.

Oyster liny, Jf. 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."

them. As to the grievances of the
driver boys employed by Markle «Xr

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.

recited in the foHowing letters:
•' DEAR MRS. PISKIIAM : I wish to express to you the preat benefit I
have derived from your advice and the use of iiydia E. Pinkliani's Vege
table Compound. 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. Your remedies and
help are a Godsend to suffering women, and I cannot find words to thank
you for what you have done for me."— Ml',3. LOTTIE V. NAYLOR, 1328 N. J.

"DEAR MRS. PINKIIAM: — EycIia 50. Piukliam's Vegetable Com
pound has done a great deal for me. I suffered so much from falling of the
womb and all the troubles connected with it. 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.
'• 1 would recommend your medicine to all tired mothers, and especially
to tliose suffering as I was." MRS. R. F. CHAMBERS, Bonnet, Neb.
