that it is utterly impossible gives an
additional joy, for it has a romance
which predominates and which allows
no thought of possibility to mar it.

Vocational Lines.
Ambitious plans for the further
development of the educational pro
gramme In the nation-wide scope of
the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion were reported by H. W. Stone
general secretary, who returned yes
terday from the three-day meeting of
the board of governors of the educa
tional council of the Y. M. C. A.
New York on June 20. Secretary
Stone was elected chairman of the
board following extensive research
work into the educational field of
the organization last year.
The board of governors has charge
of all the educational work of the
Y. M. C. A. on the continent. This
work has been going on In. the Y. M
C. A. for the last 25 years, but the
board itself was re-organized at De
troit two years ago. Another western
man H. F. Henderson, a graduate or
Stanford, is secretary
Educational Work Lauded.
Many people think of the Y. M
C. A. only in terms of its dormitories
and its social and religious work,'
said Secretary Stone. "But our edu
cational work is one of the greatest
things we are doing. More than 100
000 students, mostly men between the
ages of 20 and 30 years, are taking
systematic graded educational work
in standard courses. At present
have 48 automobile schools where
18,000 mechanics are being trained
In this connection let me say that
we have right here in Portland one
of tfie finest automobile schools in
the United States."
The schools In the larger centers
are being developed largely along
vocational lines, according to Mr.
Stone. There are more men on the
bench in Detroit who were trained in
Y. M. C. A. law schools than from
the law department of the University
of Michigan, said Mr. Stone. The
course given in accounting is also
particularly successful, he declared.
Graduates from the Boston and the
Washington Y. M. C. A. schools of
accounting are second in number only
to the University of New York in
certified public accountant ratings.
"Many people wonder what effect
the criticism directed against the
Y. M. C. A. as a result of the organ
ization's work overseas has produced,"
continued Mr. Stone. "Today there
are plans on the table calling for ex
penditures of $16,000,000 in building
programmes. The organization has
the confidence of the business men
and people of the nation. Five mil
lion dollars was set aside a year ago
for the education of -ex-service men.
The board of governors has the task
of administering this fund. More than
30,000 ex-service men have received
scholarships in regular colleges, uni
versities and vocational schools. One
hundred and twenty-five scholarships
have been given here in this state.
Specialists Are Eacaa;ed.
The aim of the board is to provide
modern educational vocational work
under Christian environment. Special
ists in all lines have been provided
in wireless, electrical and mechan
ical work. A new department in shop
production has been created, which
turns out shop managers and super
intendents. Graduates from these
courses will receive credit in a four-
year-eollege course, if desired.
Each Y. M. C. A. is a unit unto itself
in me aamimsirauon oi us eauca-
tional programme, under the vast sys
tern that covers the whole continent.
One of the features of the work
considered by the board was the
Americanization programme. In all
the big centers classes aro being held
in all foreign colonies. English is
taught In these schools and an effort
is being made to instruct the stu
dents in civil government and to bring
tl-em into touch with American ideals.
Help is given in obtaining naturaliza
tion papers and everything possible is
being done to make the aliens better
citizens.
Secretary Stone was in New York
fcur days for the meeting. The board
is composed of 15 business men, edu
cators and secretaries.

City Commissioners Plan to En

TACOMA. Wash., June 28. (Spe-
cial.) Negotiations on the Tacoma
street car problem are off and the
Tacoma Railway & Power company
will ask the state public service com
mission to grant a 10-cent fare on
July 2. Mayor Itiddell and city com
missioners expressed the opinion to
day that the increase would be grant
ed and they declared that they will
encourage jitneys jjfct as soon as tho
rise becomes effective.
The traction company in its brief
with the city demand a street car
fare that will give it cost of opera
tion, depreciation and from 4 to 8 per
cent profit on about .86,000,000 valua
tion. City officials refused to con
sider any proposition for increasing
the fare above 7 cents .the present
charge, or to guarantee any profits.
The public service commission will
hear the company's plea for an in
crease to a dime in this city next
Friday.
Commissioner Silver will make an
effort to put the traction company
out of business on several of its best

expired on certain sections of the

will be effective. IT. E. Harmon, ex
