This may true of commodities, but not of securities, which are now sell ing considerably below high levels. As to commodities, some reaction has al ready set in, particularly in food pro ducts and the recession there must ul timately result in a partially reduced cost of living. As yel. however, these reductions have not reached the con sumer, largely because middlemen are endeavoring to maintain their old scab' of profit as long as possible. The most serious problem which producers have to face is the high cost elements. How this is to be reduced is a prob lem yet to be solved. Some reduction may be had in raw materials, but this will not be sufficient, and cannot off set the greatly increased cost of wages and the advances in rents, tax es, etc. The best solution would ap pear to be in securing more efficiency in labor. Wages have risen, hours have been shortened and output re stricted until these factors have been a very serious element in increased costs. I'nder present conditions it is almost impossible to ask labor to ac cept lower wages. Labor, however, can materially relieve the situation tu its own advantage by encouraging a policy of greater efficiency and larger production. Labor is after all the chief consumer, and while insisting upon advanced wages, has been un consciously diminishing the purchas ing power of its wages and increasing its own cost of living. I this situation will soon be relieved |and tha' the ailroads, the large.-: (jf 0 a !oii» SabMTiiitt'jn hates: ,ju cents a month $4 [er year, $!.iu per year Daily i-r. .it. iation, York, otti^e. rt-itiv.

Alert, observes the .lamesiown builders general public are interested in the establishment o- trad•e schools, in connection with colleges and state in stitutions. The schools at which prac tical instruction is given in carpentry, in plumbing, brick laying and many other branches ar becoming crowded wherever such schools have been es tablished. Young men desiring to pursue some trade and to become pro ficient at the same, and to earn the highest wages, find that a course of instruction at some practical trade school is a fine thing for a starter. It gives them advantages and special attention which they cannot secure as^ an apprentice or understudy.

The trade school should take the youth at an early age, and teach him not only the fundamental rules of the occupation which he chooses, but also instill a desire for work and the pleas-' me and satisfaction in accomplishing good work. The average boy who gm(luates from the high school and college, if thrown upon his own re sources, finds himself disqualified for any special line of work, and perhaps has become imbued with the idea of earning a living without work. Trade schools in connection with any insti tution teaching the literary and other branches make an admirable combina tion and parents soon learn the ad vantages of such an institution. at the helm, has made its appearance.
