Very little was known of this mans

as far as they knew, It had been
blameless but what does it profit a
man to hide his intentions from church

solution, the craving of some of the

NEW YORK. Jun«* I . .When the
next school term opens in the* fall the
city <»f New York will try a new ami
somewhat novel experiment in the ei

scope of the school will bo largely
governed by the kinds of employment

city. In other words, the aim *f .lie
institution Is to supply graduates v. lio
will be self-supporting.
In making this new departure* the
Department of Education is carry*..g
out an experiment begun in 1902 under
the name of the Manhattan Trade
School tor Girls. When it first beg m
Its existence the school was housed in
a private dwelling in .Fourteenth street
bi t it grew so rapidlv that a t ti «*
building at Nos. 209-21! East Tweotv
third street was occupied in June,
1906.
The need for teaching young wo
men technical work by means of wni n
they could earn a living became veiy
apparent during these first few years
and really outgrew the plans >f Die
persons who originally started it as a
philanthropic institution. According
ly. the matter of city control and su
pervision, making the institution i co
ordinate part of the public school s\$
tem. was brought before the proper
1 authorities.
Plan Adopted b> City.
Miss Olivia Eeventritt, a member of
the Board of Education, who was en
thusiastically in favor of the- plan,
asked the board to take charge of the
school for a period of two years, be
ginning next September. leasing the
building and equipment of the Man
hattan Trade School. Her resolution
was adopted b\ a vote oi 2> to n at
a recent meeting.
By this move, the first attempt of
the kind in America to train young
girls in useful trades, a new epoch
has been ope ned up in educational af
fairs along industrial lines. While
( in the past some attention in pubii*
schools has been given to teaching
ooys how to use their hands to make
themselves self-supporting the girls
have been overlooked. The school
j will he open to girls, even though they
lack elementary training.
Miss Eeventritt saicT^tliat th*- taking

Miss Eeventritt said that the institu
tion had been conducted by a board of
trustees, supported bv subscriptions,
and had been t*uching in a nine
months’ course various trades to four
hundred girls, at an uutlav of $25,
000 a year. The hoard m < harg. c»i

j During the twelve months from
January. 1908, to January, 1909, 689
girls were admitted to the school, and

They knew nothing of food values or
food preparation, as is evident from
the daily lujn-ht-s they bring. The short
time which the> ran give cannot ai>
eoniplish both a trade training mu' a
knowledge of < • •••king, but the cooking
classes were started and have proved
very successful. The school has ais>
demonstrated during its six years »»f
life that gil ls • 'ih.. ated there can com
mand a fair wage in trade, and that
those who can give the longer time
to tills training tn obtain better po-;
sit ions and salaries than those w ho
remain but a iv months. Hence it
has conn* abie i that an increasing
number of tin students have been
willing to give ;t >. ar or more to pre
pa ration.
The si ho .: w .i darted to show what
can be done t" inak» the unskilled girl
of fourteen years f age a more" or
less skilled worker, or, at least, to en
able her to earn a living wage. If this
could be a-i uupitshed, it was felt
that the pupih s. hools of the country
would incorporate similar work a.- a
part of the publh s pool system. The
demonstration given by the school has
aroused the greatest interest among
public school authorities, not or- i i
New York, hut ' many other cities.

WASHINGTON BYWAYS!
(Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
WASHINGTON. L>. C., June U-—The
whole town of Washington stood
aghast with astonishment when It dis
covered, as a result of the Pennsyl
vania primaries, that Joseph C. Sib
ley had been nominated for Congress
again, sue re titling Representative Nel
son P. Wheeler, of the Twenty-eighth
district.
"J<*V’ Sibley was one of the ynost
popular men in Congress during his
former service in the House. He was
the foremost entertainer, a giver ol
dinners which were quitet beyond com
pare. the prince of mixers, and quite
the most capable spender in either
House. He would spend thousands on
Mowers and fixings for one dinner and
never blink. If a friend fancied his bln
automobile, why he was liable to re
ceive- it the' next day as a present— ar
incident that actually happened a<
least once.
Four years ago Sibley dropped out
of Congress voluntarily and started
for a long trip around the world. Ii
was supposed that was the last Wash
ington would see of him But later
ano* the tremendous sensation of the
“My Dear Mr. Archhold" letters, writ
ten by Siblev to the president of thi
Standard Oil Company. After th#
printing of these letters, which con
tained intimate discussion of politics
conditions in Washington and devel
oped that Sibley wyg one of the Con
gressional aides and adviser** to the
Standard <>11 man. it was -presumed
that Sibley would hardly venture intc
politics again.
X«»t so Mm. Sibley wanted vindica
tion. and he has got it. so far as hh
nomination is concerned The wondei
of it is that his candidacy for renomi
nation atraete 1 r.<> attention outside hii
district All Washington was surprise*
when It turned out that he had beer
making a whirlwind campaign. Hii
nomination had been the sensation o
the Pennsylvania primary, attracting
even more attention than the dost
race which John Ralzell had for re
n- nilnntton.
It is proposed that Mr Sibley wll
have a harder time getlng hts elec tier
than he did carrying oft ihe nomina

remember the Archibald letter inciden

proper to allow Sibley, with that rec

It was an exciting moment. Th

i Question of "who would come In” and
people from all faction*—democrat*,

were named. It was apparent, that a
tnn*t unusual combination of forces

i rumor gained circulation that Ballin«

'Plan was framing up to drive Speaker
Cannon out of the chair and elect a
new Speaker before the end of the
session. Plainly, something very big
was going to be tried.
The sleuths got busy, but the secret
was well guarded. Nobody would
breathe a word. Finally, one of th«
ringleaders was led away into a dark
corner under a staircase. He held his
hand up to his mouth and whispered: —
"I'll tell you, hut you must swear
never to give me away”
1 Tile oath was taken.
