TO aid the boys of Portland who do
not Intend to follow a professional
career, a school of trades Is to be
established in connection with the pub
lic schools of the city this Fall. 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. Sullivan, of the University of
Oregon, Is to be Instructor of mathemati
cal drawing. He is known as one of the
best in hia line In the Pacific North
west. 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

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.
