Washington's Home Life. In an account of Washington's home Mtfe, Mr. Proctor said the former always arose at 4 o'clock and that his hreakfast invariably consisted of In- ‘dfan cakes, honey and tea. At 3 o'clock he dined again, eating heartily | of most evervthing. However, he par- 100k sparingly of dessert, but drank = homemade beverage and from four 10 five glasses of madeira wine. He ate no supper. satistving himself with | just a cup of tea at about 9| oclock he retired. continued Mr Proctor. The speaker told of Washington's valor in battle and recounted various nts in the life of the great patriot “When you feel vour confidence in the American Republic siipping, may T suggest that you take a_trip to Mount Vernon, visit the tomb of the Founder of Freedom. look through the ‘bars where lies all that is mortal of this illustrjous man and 1 am_ sure your soul will be illed with re mewed patriotism and you will g thome proud that you are a bette American than you ever were before,’ zald the speaker § Lincoln Sold Liquor.

If a man. after he gets into the 20’s und begins to assume a few re- ponsibilities, did not lose all sym- pathy with youth and all understand- act there would be far fewer obstacles in the way of bringing them together. C. Robinson. member of the a- tional Council of the Y. M. C. A. and an expert in boys’ work, told 175 boys and men at the annual father-and-son banquet given by the Y. M. C.

Mr. Robinson concluded by saving that the enduring desire of man fur omething better has brought him to his present footing with his children, and this desire will bring about a still better understanding in the future.

CLASSIFICATION AGT CALLED GREAT AID U. S. Official Says Much Benefit Has Been Derived From System. The personal classification uct should be the first step in & great re. organization in the methods of deal- ing with employes in the Government service, F. H. Hughes, employment manager of the United States Bureau of Agriculture Iiconomics, declared today in an addfess before the Na- tional Vocational Guidance Assocta- tion, in session at the Hotel Wash. ington. While asserting his belief that ihe classification act was ot perfect, Mr. Hughes said it had been of great vialue to the Government employes in that it forced them to analyze their abilities and specifications of the jobs they were holding. “In reviewing all employes of my depurtment regurding their alloca- tions 1 found that but a very few of them had analyzed their dutfes or their capabllities to fill their jobs,” he said. The results of the classifi- cation act enforcement, while causing much discussion and dissatisfaction, are the basis of optimistic outlook and show the need of further modifica- tion of the government's employment system,” he asserted The American school system out- strips anything to be found in Europe, Pierre Bevet, prominent educator of | Geneva.

The United States has sean this more clearly than any other nation.” Miss Abbott Speaks. “We are in just the beginning of an industrial revolution,” Miss Grace Ab- bott, chief of the Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor, declared in an address on compulsory education legislation and its relation to voca- tional guidance, Develpoment of vocational training and placement in conjunction with a tremendous increase in the number of the population of this country who will receive higher education will bring inevitable revolutionary changes in in- dustry, she belleves. Vocational train- ing and guidance already has become a vital consideration to industries as well as to educators, she said. Misa Abbott upheld compulsory edu- cation laws as a great impetus to fn- crease in public education, and traced the development of compulsory schools from 30 years ago, when advocacy of such laws was denounced as ‘‘un. American, soclulistic and destructive of family life and parental preroga- tives,” to the present time, when as- certainuble facts show such laws have caused tremendous gains in schoo! at- tendance, not so much through com- pulsion as education. Attendance at colleges in this country has jumped from 200,000 in 1916 to more than 500,000 in 1925, she said. Ballou Loses Way. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintend- ent of the Washington schools, who was to be the honor host at the ban- quet as well as one to deliver the wel- coming address afterwards. got lost from the vocational guidance and dined with another group of educators at the Washington, he told the con- vention later. “I've always believed in vocational guidance.” he said jovial- ly, “but now I believe not As the center of Wash- ington’s gay night life, Le Paradis is constantly presenting greater fun fea- tures—for instance Vivian Loomis Marinelli Twins WasMngton's Tonight's the Dancing Dar- last night's en- tng.

By mis-guidance, 1 was led into the wrong hanquet.” Dr. Ballou lauded the teaching pro- fession for the high plane of efficien: and ideals to which it has been raised. “The time will come, probably within the present .generation, when the opinion of the educator will be just as readily accepted by the public as the Judgment of a member of the medi- cal or legal profession is today.” Mrs. Lilllan M. Gilbreth, mother of a large family and a highly specialized consulting Industrial _engineer, of Montclaire, N. J., who has achieved a nation-wide reputation for her work in elimtnation of inefficlency and waste in industrial employment, spoke on causes of fatigue among industrial workers. Employes Block Plan. The greatest difficulty in eliminating fatigue is that workers have no ap- preciation of the importance of work, she declared. “Employes have the feel- ":f that work s not desirable; they fall to understand that people are born Into this world to work. They muet be taught to love to work from childhood in" order to give them a background upon which they can bulld successful careers,” she said. Monotony is one of the greatest in mediate causes of fatigue, she said, and lack of interest in an occupation germinates monotony Thus, fatigue often is a mere psychological stats, she concluded. The banquet was presided over by Miss Mary Stewart, director of the junior division of the United States Employment Service. Miss Stewart read a paper yester- day afterncon on the need for public bureaus to co-operate with schools and industries in the training and place- ment of students. “We can no longer turn school children loose after ele- mentary school training and try to shift from the shoulders the respon- SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1926. sibility for what becomes of them. Tt i3 the duty of the Federal or local governmentg to fit the child in a vo- cation.” Labor Official Speaks. Fdgar Wallace, representing the American Federation of Labor, said his organization often looked with fear on the movement to train school chil- dren for vocations because that meant the younger workers would take the jobs of their parents. He urged co- operation between organized labor, in- dustrial managers, Federal agencies and schools in training children for vocations where there was a need for workers. Other addresses were made by Susan J. Ginn, director of vocational guld- ance of the Boston public schools; Dr. Elizabeth Kemper Adams, educational secretary of the Girl Scouts of New York; Mary Tolman of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union of Boston, and Jessie Adams of the Man- hattan Trade School for Girls.

Her husband, Fdward H. Lam- bert, former policeman and at pres- ent a foreman in the Street Cleaning Department, cut her with a razor. Mrs. Lambert charged.

The Secretary of State would be dl- rected to furnish the House foreign affairs committee with all information avallable regarding expulsion from Mexico of American citizens because of their religious bellefs under a reso- lution introduced vesterday by Rep resentative Falrchild, Republican, New York. Representative Boylan, Demo crat, New York, also has interested himself in the situation. ““The resolution,” Mr. Falrchild said “is directed toward a fundamental con- sideration and treatment of the Mexi can problem. Expalsion of Americans because of religious beliefs is a recent repetition of similar outrages in the past against religious and educations institutions.
