Minna (Dernberg's adopted daugh
ter's name) for a client had arrang
ed her marriage to a convict of a
superior class whose laps from re
spectability had not been of a very
serious character. But the thing
was done so rapidly, and there were
so many Clients on the books, that In
some mysterious way Minna married
a totally different man from the one
chosen for br. He was a criminal
of the worst type. He accepted phil
osophically the good fortune which
had thrown Into his wsy the oppor
tunity to enter at will and by invi
tation the houses of the rich which'
had previously been barred to him.
There was plenty of money for him
to spend; he had, through his amaz
ing marriage to Minna, everything
the heart could reasonably desire.
But the criminal kink in his nature
could not be stifled. He utilized the
position in society his marriage had
given him to execute a series of mys
terious robberies from the very
houses where he was entertained as
a guest, ins pmnaer approximaieu
tens of thousands of dollars In value
before he was detected. Since then
he has again been languishing in the
familiar prison cell.
, The Salem school board does well in going ahead with the plans
to introduce and maintain vocational training.
Ren Johnson, member of the Federal board for vocational train
ing, and director of this work for the western district, was a Salem
visitor on Friday. V
He commended very highly the start being made in the Salem
schools. He said it is a move in the rieht direction.
v Mr. Johnson said the scheme is working well all over the United
States. It has been taken iin in forty-two states. -
The object of the work is to not only give boys in the schools
practical trade instruction along lines of machinery and gas engine
work, but there is contemplated a part time program, under which
boys who have quit school may come back on part time and get
the instruction that will make themmoce useful citizens and capable
of carnincr higher waees.
Then there will come the rehabilitation of soldiers, which will
be of a:reat importance, if the war lasts long. '
Under the Smith-Hughes XctM Congress, this is a subsidized
department of the school work. It will be under government su
pervision and control. ,
It will be no temporary arrangement.
The appropriation, is continuing and increasing for a term of
years; and there is no doubt that it will be renewed, after the ex
piration of the period now provided Tor.
There is now available for the use of the Salem schools $1,700
of government money, for the coming school year, and this may grow
to $2,400 for the coming year. It will surely increase largely for
future years. ' .)
The Salem school board has ordered the machinery with which
to make the start: machinery that will be practical and always worth
its cost, less wear andtear. It has been decided to build a per-
manent foundation and a permanent floor for this machinery, oh
ground? already owned by the district, and to put up a temporary
building,, to be used until such time as materials and labor may be
cheaper for the construction of a permanent structure; after the
war. .
The Salem school board could not do less, and be in line with
the progress of .the whole country. It is gratifying to record that
so much has been undertaken. The future development will come
as the people see the great value of the system.

neutral countries, concerning the new

Not long ago, according to a story
Just received In London, theie were
no fewer than .3000 ex-convicts at
large In Berlin. The majority were
unmarried, and also 'unfit for mil

chief of police, Traugott van Jagow,
the kaiser Is said to have been the
one who suggested that these former
Jailbirds should be turned Into law
abiding citizens.
Through von Jagow the hint was
conveyed to the proprietors of the
scores of matrimonial agencies which
now flourish In Merlin. The books
of the agencies contained the names
of hundreds of German women who
were waiting for husbands. The ei
convlcts were approached by the ma
trimonial agents, and In less than a
month more than 1000 marriages
had been celebrated between con
victs and German women In every
degree of society.
