The boy of 11121 seems to havq
strayed oil the track, lie displays so
little enthusiasm In the life of the en- I
glneer that It's becoming a momentous |
prill.letn. Members of the American
Society ot .M' i hunical Kngincers are ]
worried over I lie question. Where are |
our mechanics to come from?
Apprenticeship no longer appeals to i
the youth of today. Trade schopls are
all right, hut there are hot enough of
them.
The solution appears to the society j
to he a happy medium between the j
school and the shop—some of each, not 1
all out of hooks, nor all hard, physical
work. When a middle course is per-
fected the engineers believe that the .
hoys' Interest In the science will re- I
vlve.
Seventy per cent of the youth of
the United Stales lack the natural abil-
ity to go through high school, accord-
ing to H. K. Miles nt the National As-
sociation of Manufacturer'.
Mr. Miles made the statement in a
plea for better co-operation of the In-
dustries and the school*. He said that

No Real Education.
"Half of the children of the country
leave school forever without any real
education," he declared. "We should
make equal provision for those who
cannot go to college hy setting up for
wage earners and others In connection
with their employment or otherwise

Sir. Miles, who lias been conducting
a survey of the nation's educational re-
sources and needs, said that proper op-
portunity for education has been de-
prived .'<8,000.000 persons, and that the
national Intelligence of the nation
stands indicted for that reason. He
praised the former Uerman empire for
Its educational system, and declared
that, despite Its apparent disregard for
society a- a whole. It has shown the
way toward real education.
Compulsory Schools.
"By a survey of 10."> of Germany's
leading industries, 65 per cent of the .
men In foremost places in managerial
and technical departments were little I
working boys who quit school at
fourteen," added Mr. Miller. "They j
grew tip. with the right sort of com- |
palsory continuation schools and later |
selectively had special technical train- |
lug with the assistance of their em-
ployers and otherwise. Most of the
graduates of Germany's technical col- I

MANY TOWNS DEMANDING
ELECTRIC HIGH LINES.
Oklahoma City, July 5.—One cf
the most notable developments |
in Oklahoma at the present time
is the rapidly increasing demand j
for electric service from high i
lines. The companies having large |
electric power stations are unable
to keep up with the applications
from cities and towns for hig'n-
, line service.
A contract was signed recently
between the town of Hunter and
the A. E. Brown Electric Compa-
ny of Kansas City, Kans., for the
erection of a trasmission line for
electrical power and town distri-
buting system. The power is to be
furnished by the Oklahoma Gas
& Electric Company. Some weeks
ago Hunter voted $16,000 bonds
for this purpose. Billings and La-
■ mont have also provided bonds
for connection with the high-line !
system.
•let and Nash in Alfalfa county
have voted bonds for building
and
are
planning on securing transmis-
sion line service. The Washita
Electric Power Company has re-
'centl.v completed ti high line from
Pauls Valley to Maysville, a dis-
tance of 14 miles. Okmulgee and
Henryetta have recently been con-
nected with the big Tulsa power
plant of the Oklahoma Power
company. A high power transmis-
sion line has recently been con-
structed between Slick and Beggs
and will later be extended into the
oil fields.
The Public Service Company of
Oklahoma is extending its 13,000
volt transmission line to Garnett,
a distance of six miles. String-
town has been connected up with
