I ALTBOFF HARDWARE lhwUm«d Property Three time* a year sales of «n* tlllmed lost property found in On of the underground railways in London, England, are held with the purchasing privilege withheld from all but the company's employees, observes the South Bend Tribune. Under a fixed scale of price^ umbrellas may be bought for 24 cents each; walking sticks, 4 to 8 cents; gloves, 6 cents a pair; books, 6 cents each, and brief cases, 20 cents each. Why are these articles not claimed by the original owners? Surely many of the pmbrejlas, walking sticks and brief cases are worth many times the sums they bring at the auctions- The same condition prevails in America. People are always losing umbrellas, bundles or other bulky articles, and most of them are lost under conditions which would insure their return if the original owner made reasonable attempts^ to get them back. In 1927 patrons loSst in the underground railways of London and failed to claim 12,000 urn-' brellas and 500 walking sticks. Those same people probably laugh heartily when they hear the story abort the man who lost the base drum. As Seen By Plaindealer fte ^porters and Handed fit - By Our Friends P. H. FREUND Two large fabric concerns in Net? Bedford have taken the unusual step of announcing that only persons who are American citizens or who have taken out their first citizenship papers will hereafter be given work, says the Springfield Republican. To assist employees to become citizens the companies will conduct noon-hour i classes at the mills and otherwise offer aid and encouragement. This effective example of .Americanization work Is presumably meant to solve a local problem peculiar to the New Bedford situation, where work has been slack and there has been a surplus of applicants for Jobs. It would be possible only where employers of labor were in.a position to adopt a highly selective policy. Americanization can be sufficiently encouraged without coercion. •», Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Wo Best of Work and Satisfaction Guaranteed Let Us Estimate Your Job whatever it is PHONE 2244 dytnrnri" Osier was all Wrong he suggested that efficiency ended at sixty, writes Dr. Henry O. Chapin In the Forum. To prove the point, here are the names of a few of the old men who are of primary Importance in the modern world: Hindenburg, eighty; Clemenceau, eighty-six; Earl Balfour, eighty-nine; Ellhu Root, eighty-two; Justice Holmes, eighty-six; Chauncey M. Depew, ninety-three; George F. B^ker, eighty-seven; August Hecksh^ r,' past seventy; Dr. W. W. Keen, approaching ninety; Thomas A. Edison, eighty. It is therefore untrue that there is a deadline at fifty, sixty, seventy, or even eighty, as far as intellectual possibilities and usefulness are concerned, since this la entirely an Individual matter.

CONTRACTOR AND BUILDKK Try Ottr Free Plan Service SSTHUTES CHEERFULLY FURNISHED When we get down to a question of real education there are only two things we can accomplish, says Secretary Davis In Current History. One is to teach people to think about the problems they will meet and have to face in life. The other is to train them how to do the things they will have to do in life, the useful arts that will make them of some value to society. . . The once-accepted theory that the product of our general educational system was educated and the individual who had learned how to work in his youth was cated la now being exploded. There are almost as many formal definitions of the aims of education as there are days in a school year. "Human beings," said an eminent committee of experts a few years ago, "cannot become themselves without an effort of mind and will, and the discipline by which that effort Is stimulated and guided is education." In short, public education Is primarily intended as an organized aid to the development of human beings, not exclusively as Individuals, but as tol- | erable members of a society. This la education for citizenship. Eastern hosiery manufacturers are said to be worried about the future because so many women went stock- Ingles* last summer.
