VOCATIONAL EDUCATION'
liESILT OF CONDITION
San Francisco, Sopt. 1—The de
mind for vocational education is
the result cf a need for community
efficiency as a means for the elim
ination of community poverty,
claimed Dean R. G. Boone of the
Scaool of Education ia the Univer
sity of California, in a recent ad
dr-?as before the National Educa
tional association. Dean Boone, iu
part said:
"Ignorance of facts and the prin
clp1 s of industry, and incapacity
to fit one's self to any needed ser
vice, are so commol^aa to justify
one in thinking them foster par
cuts cf poverty. And it is be
lieve' that both of these, might be
moasureablv eliminated by a 'wise
ly administered system of occupa
tional training and guidance.
"Vocational education finds its
excuse for being, in the relatively
new and almost complete depen
dence of modern industries, com
merce, And government upon ap
plied sciences; the need for vital
izing the problems of getting »
living; and the recognition of a
body of sfeillful, intelligent workers
as a community asset. The move
ment for vocational education ia
Bocial in iis origin and in its realiz
ation."

IV.—THE TRAIL OF
THE SILK
[Copyright. The Frank A. Munaey Co.]
(Continued from last Issue)
"Forget about It, Mo.vruss?" Abe
repented. ".Forget nothing! I suppose,
Mawruss, $300" ain't nothing f(T~you,
Mawruss. 1 suppose you pick $300
up lu the street, Mawruss. No, sifeo,
Mawruss, I ain't no policeman, and I
ain't no rabbi's son. neither, Mawruss.
But I guess 1 got a little gumption, too,
and I'll get back that silk If I havo to
take Rlfkln's brother inyself and shake
the silk out of him."
The exterior of Aaron Rlfkln's store
little betrayed the prosperity of the
busiuess transacted within, for en
trance was had through a narrow slit
between a soda water stand and a flsh
stall. Above this aperture, however,
hung an elaborate sign, on which ap
peared In gilt letters tlio English word
"Remnants," spelled phonetically In
straggling Hebrew characters. If this
had not been sufficient to guide Abe's
footsteps squarely in the entrance
stood a replica of Fincus Rlfkin, with
flowing beard and apologetic smile
complete.
Abe elbowed his way past Plncus'
brother into the dark store and made
straight for tho counter.
"Nu." said Aaron, "wuat can I <lo for
you ?"
"Some silk I want to boo It," Abo re
plied.
"Slllik?" Anron murmured. "What
for slllik you would like?"
"Black silk," said Abe.
Aaron wont behind the counter and
pulled down a roll of silk.
"11 ere is black silllk." he said; "good
black slllik."
"IIcw much la there here?" Abe
asked
"Preissig yard." snid Aaron.
"Thirty yards, hey?" Abe rejoined.
"What you done with the rest?"
"The rest ?" Aaron exclaimed. "What
d'ye mean—tho rest? There ain't no
rest. That's nil there Is of It"
Abo picked up the silk nnd put It un
un ins mm.
"Half a loaf of bread," he said, "is
better as no bread at all," and ho turn
ed nnd walked calmly out of the store.
"Hey. mister!" Aaron yelled franti
cally, but Abe kept steadily on. nnd he
had reached the corner of Eldrldge
street before Anron could scramble
over the counter.
"Po lee-eece!" Aar«u howled. "Po
lee-cece!"
At once t-frp cry was taken up by a
hundred voices until it was borne to
Max Greeuberg, who was sunning him
self in front of the public school a
block away. He secured a fresh grip
on his club, end, taking pushcarts two
at a jump, bounded toward the corner
of Eld ridge street.
At this juncture Abo committed a
breach of judgment Had he pro
ceeded down the street as deliberately
as he had quitted Aaron's store, no one
would have suspected h'm to be the
quarry of the ensuing chase. The Im
pulse to run was too strong, however,
and he took to his heels just as Max
Greenberg hove into sight The next
moment lie tripped over a rejected head
of cabbage, and his nemesis, In the
person of Max, was literally upon him.
If Max's aim had been poor on the
previous day, there were at least no
errors of marksmanship on this oc
casion, and when Abe was arraigned
before the desk sergeant In the Eld
rldge street police station, one of his
eyes was completely closed, whilo the
other was reduced to a mere slit
"Comes tills here loafer Into meln
store," said Aaron, "and says he wants
to see some silllk, and before I could
stop him at all, he quick takes the
silllk, and runs away from meln store."
"What d'ye want to take his silk
for?'1 the sergeant asked A lie.
"Xot his silk," said Ab& "My silk!
His brother Tincus stolo it from my
factory already, and gives It to him.
Sis pieces black silk worth $300."
"Black silllk!" Aaron exclaimed.
"Why, I ain't got not one piece black
silllk In meln store. The store was
; dark, and this here loafer thinks It
was black silllk. It ain't no such
thing. It's blue silllk!"
"Blue silk!" Abe cried. 'That's a
fine swindler. Why, actually the feller
told me It was black silk."
"Swindler, hoy?" the sergeant com
mented. "That's certainly tough on
you. lie cheated you Into stealing blue
silk Instead of black silk. Next time
you steal black silk you want to see
that it's In the daylight, so that, you
won't got stuck. Take him back, offi
cer."
"IIolcl on dere, sergeant," Max broke
In. "1 know sunipln about dls case me
self. 1 t'luk dere's some mlxup here.
Me brndder works fer dls gentleman.":
For the first time since his arrest Ab«
turue.l and recognized his captdr.
"So." he sjild bitterly. "So I am pay
ing for you nud"—
"Chop It!" Max commanded out of
the corner of b'r» mouth. "And bo,
sergeant, 1 t'luk dis here cage now
ought to be straightened oOt I didn't
gct_ on to who dis party waa at first.
but now dat rgeE a-good look at
him 1"—
'"Take 'em both Into the back room,"
the sergeant Interrupted, "and come
out here yotirsclf. 1 want to talk to
you."
Max grabbed accuser and accused by
tho arm and led them hone too gently
Into the back room, where he thrust
them Into adjacent chairs.
"Don't nlder of youse bat an eyelash
till I come back. See?" he Said In part
ing and returned t§ the front room.

"Blue eilkl* Abe cried. "Thafe a fine
■windier."
