It will be officially known as the Portland " School of Trades, and will be under the direction of the Board of Education. It will be Inaugurated at the- beginning of the school j-ear in September. The object of the school will be to fur nish Instruction to the boys of this city In some trade that they may be better fitted for their life work. Opportunity will be given for. instruction in many trades and branches of industry. - Includ ed In the list will be carpentry, cabinet making, pattern-making, moulding, elec trical construction, machine shop prac tice, mechanical and architectural draft ing and plumbing. In addition to these trades studies, such academic branches as English, mathe matics, applied physics and electricity and industrial chemistry will be Included in the course. Special attention will be given these subjects in bo far as they re late to or have bearing on trade work. The course will be three years. Sucx-ess in Other Cities. The school is a decided experiment in Portland, although it has been a success in many other cities and has passed far beyond the experimental stage. It is designed to meet a demand that is going fortli all over the country for Increased opportunities for industrial education. There are many boys who wish to learn trades but the opportunity is denied them because of social and Industrial condi tions. Financial conditions in their own families may also be an important factor, but these conditions are practically over come by the new system that is to be in augurated in Portland. Any earnest, industrious boy who de sires to learn a trade as a part of his education and preparation for life will be admitted to the school. It will strive to give something more than the mere equiv alent of a workshop apprenticeship, and its graduates must have a fair command of the English language. They must know enough of mathematics, drawing and science to insure intelligent, progres sive workmanship, and each must be a skillful, rapid, and efficient workman in his trade. Instructors in the various departments have been successful mechanics in their respective lines, and are thoroughly com petent to make and keep the work of the school on a practical basis. In most instances these Instructors and teachers have been selected from large business firms of Portland and the greatest care has been observed in their selection. Now Installing Equipment. The school is to be located In the At kinson school building. Eleventh and Da vis streets, and is now being equipped with machinery. The most modern and up-to-date appliances known to mecnanl cal Ingenuity are to be Installed In the school. . ,. This Portland effort to advance the rouths of this city has met with universal approbation. That it will be a success Is bevond a doubt and that Portland is in terested is shown by the number of appU cations that have been received by the board of education. It Is to be under the prlnclpalshlp of Professor G. W. Hamilton." All his as sistants are procured from the shops of this city a"nd are men of the most practi cal experience. Charles A. Marlitt is to be in charge of the pattern-making and wood-making departments. He was se lected from one of the biggest firms In Portland and knows his business from beginning to end. George H. Buxton is to be in charge of the machine shops. He has been con nected with a railroad company for many years and knows the subject he is to teach as few men do. Men With Long Training. F. F.

Principal Hamilton will In per son take charge of the architectural drawing department. He has had un limited experience in his line and is re garded as one of the best Instructors in the country. The electrical work is to be given Into the hands of some one who has not been designated as yet. He will be elected In a short time and will e a man thoroughly competent In his line. It Is the purpose of the school not to make engineers, but to make mechanics. There are too many engineers, according to the way the managers of the school Yea, Verily, Pride Goeth Before Destruction. Drputr County Clerk ChrlKtene IlinSUlHra llundlr In Which He arrlr.i Howe Ax. unit Jokers Make Him Target for Frank. OW be sure not to forget that split tonight." This was the parting admonition to Deputy County Clerk Carl Christensen by his wife when he left home yesterday morning. and thereby hangs a tale. "All right." replied Deputy Carl, as lie reserved a large space in his mem ory for. the ax. and sprinted for the car. He has recently moved into a new home at the end of the East Ankeny carllne and had forgotten to purchase an ax when he left the flat on the West Side. Christensen bought the ax all right, and the clerk at the hardware store wrapped it up carefully so that no one who saw Deputy Carl carrying the bundle would know he had so plebeian an Implement in his possession. If the clerk had not wrapped it up so care fully, probably Carl would have more wood split for Mrs. Carl to cook Sun day dinner with.. The ax was carried home last night with as much care as the clerk had used in wrapping it up. and Deputy Carl bore it proudly up the steps, call ing his wife to come and see the beau tiful new ax he had purchased. She came and looked on while Carl un wrapped his bundle and revealed a Uoaxilita el &lb 84 square Rlece of board, and some rocks to give the bundle weight. "Mrs. "Carl stared and Carl stared, while down at the County Clerk s of fice Deputy "Cupid" Rose and Prasp and some others held their sides while they held a carnival of mirth over Deputy Carl s bright new ax. Before they had finished their laugh. Carl had seen the light, and did another sprint for the car. Rose and rrasp and the others had left the Courthouse by the time Carl reached there, but he found his ax stowed away in the vault, and took it home bare of wrapping paper.
