a Leading Expert on Nation’s + Commerce, After a Tour of { Country, Paints Glowing | Picture of Our Financial and , Industrial Condition — Vir- ginia Schools, Since War, Are Growing. By Roger Batchelder. Ansel R. Clark, Commercial Agent @t Large for the United States Bu- eau of Foreign and Domestic Com- merce, is at the Commodore after a tour of the principal cities of the ‘United states. His statement regard- ing the present situation is as follows: “While both our export and import trade has decidedly fallen off we are till: “The greatest export nation In the world, “The greatest import nation in the world. “Tie greatest manufacturing Ration in the world. “The greatest producer of raw materials in the , world. And we have to-day: “The greatest army of trained personnel in production and marketing of any nation on earth. “The second largest merchant marine and facilities for develop- ing this into first place if we wish. “Over one-third of the world's gold. "During, the past seven years of phenomenal developinent we have had sion of our banking | ansportation facilities and associations. But little has trade been said regarding the educational side. Educators are poor publicity agents and the activity of firms has necessitated the use of every avail- able man to ‘carry on’ and supply the world’s goods. The outstanding fea- ture of the foreign trade situation ts tts’ educational phase. American busi- ness must meet its adversaries on even ground, and universities and business should each lend every effort to fit Americans for this great and growing development of the United States.” WHERE 18 THE TALL LID? “T wonder if the stove-pipe hat has gone out of business," pon- dered George 8. Burrell, house manager of the Commodore. “Not so long ago nearly all ‘New York- ers For a Day or Two’ came to town with a hat-box as a part of their luggage. Those who were to attend banquets regarded them a- Indispensable, and not a_ fe brought them along for the the- atre. Incidentally, they usualiy forgot to take them home, and we jad to forward them later. But to-day not three guests a week i have hat-boxes. The old standby has gone into the discard.” VIRGINIA, SCHOOLS SOOMING. “Although the population of my city has decreased since the war, there has been an increase of nearly 35 per cent. In the attendance at our schools, Miss M. 8. Howison, Assistant Princl- pal of the High School at Newport News, Va. Miss Howison, who ts at the Majestic, has been attending the International Congress of Eugenics for the purpose of ge ng data con- cerning the problem of juventle de- linquency. ’ “Phe jaw in Virginia permits one more than fourteen years of to work, ‘Therefore, during the v period the shipyards were full of chil. dren who ought to have been in schoo Our schoo re fling up now former w orkers, and an entir different scholastic atmosphere bh been created. “The serious y 1. b "ea much more their work al, fer as A result of titeir ployment they realize the value of knowledge, particularly of vocational training.
