MANUAL OR COLLEGE TRAINING. ACTOSS was, Preenenenenene-one-e-ene gp Charles M. Schwab, Trust, told the boys of the million-dollar President of the Steel St. George's Evening Trade School that manual training is better than college training for boys who have their own way to make in the world. But “what's the matter” with having both? If a boy goes to the Brooklyn Polytechnic, or the Stevens Institute, or the Boston Institute of ‘Technol S oenenenenenepeneneines Y, he gets the benefits wm ESOTIA of both college and manual training. He EDUGA TIONS learns to use his hands as well as his head, his ere 9 nd his judgment as well as his memory -He is taught the use of tools and machinery. He learns to draw @nd to plan. Are not all these things useful to a voung man? Science is simply knowing. The boy who knows t elcetricity, or engincer- g, or nining, or architecture certainly has an advantage in the race of life. If in addition he has learned to write and to speak the English language correctly, has a reading acquaintance with Freneh and German and knows something of history and of literature, is he not better equipped than one who is ignorant of these things? Education means to “lead out—to develop faculties and to dis- cover aptitudes, refore it is a splendid idea to “put the whole hoy (or girl) to sehool.” Manual training will bring out one—elassi eal training another, But ne man really makes the most of hin asa human being without thorough education of some sort. CARNEGIE. Andrew Carnegie made a remarkable propheey a few days ago. “Hereafter,” he said, “American railway lines will be of one in- terest from Atlantic to Pacific, and one man in New York can fix through rates to meet the situation.” Now, just try and think of that coming “one man,” and what his power would be. AN ENORMOUS ThoroWace . ‘los : MGC BOMERATIIR There are now ¢ 000 miles of rail- OF POWER. road tracks in the United States. That “one toceceeeeeeee% nun in New York” would control them all. Not a train would move anywhere on that vast network of tracks that covers the continent and connects the two oceans without h sanction. The sailroad companies of this country are capitalized at over $12,000,000,000—twelve times the capitalization of Mr. Morgan's mammoth Steel Trust. Mr. Carnegie’s “one man in New York” would control and manage that ineonceivably large mass of capital— over three times the total assessed valuation of all the taxable prop erty in Greater New York. And this “one man,” Mr. Carnegie sa “will fix through rates” for freight and passengers from New York to ’Frisco and from Maine to the Gulf. In other words, he would have all the pro- ducers and all the consumers of the country at his merey. They would pay what he tells them to pay for transportation, or go with- out it. The gross revenue from all the traffic of our railroads is now 36,000,000 a vear, and they pay out in interest and dividends, weeeeeeeeeeed after first paying all their running expenses, MIGHTY Dat. about $350,000,000 a year.

AND MEN, supervise all this vast sygtem of receipts and peceeeeeeeeeee — dishursements—greater in extent than the re- ceipts and disbursements of any government in the world, not ex- cepting the Government at Washington. The employees of railroads now exceed 1,000,000 in number— us many js the standing armies of the United States, Great Britain and France put together, And Mr. Carnegie’s eoming ‘one man in New York” would be their employer—the first man in the history of the world to count his working legions as Caesar and Xerxes counted their fighting legions, by the hundreds of thousands. Until there are fewer Americans who think that they individu- ally are or ought to be “it” we guess Mr. Carnegie’s ‘coming man” will still be coming but will not “arrivi Went comfortably on to the soothing strains of tie mandolin orchestra, Mra Weston took It as a matter of course, She knew that Hartlelgh was not in Jove with her, he knew that Mart- leigh's wife her usual gently riclous air, fretting about the had thrust Mra, Weston smoothed a smile from er px with her big black fan.
