ITEMS OF INTEREST

Of the industrial training at the Washington Allston School of Boston the master says: "The boys will be trained in the arts and crafts that pertain to home-making and will be made to see that thus they can construct a home for themselves, instead of being left hopeless with the thought that without money they cannot have a home. The possibilities are almost legion for the young man, who has grown up and has a little spare time, to be independent. This work teaches the dignity and the true value of labor, that the difference between good and poor living is not a difference of money but of intelligence. The girls are shown how and how not to decorate, to make a simple but effective and comfortable home. Everything is of solid construction; there is no shoddy."

President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton, in a recent address said: "We are in the midst of a great reconsideration, not of principles, for the foundations of justice and equity remain the same, but of the application of principles. More than that, we are on the eve of such a reorganization of society as will effect a much better and more even adjustment of public and private interests. It will be a great day of moralization when we come fully to realize that no enterprise conducted on a great scale can be a wholly private enterprise, when we come to realize that every duty is in a sense a public duty, that the final standard of conduct is the benefit of the country and the good of mankind."

At the sixteenth annual meeting of the International Arbitration Conference, which held a three-days session at Lake Mohonk, N. Y., last week, more than four hundred delegates were present. The gathering, which was remarkably representative, included some of the best known diplomats, men of letters, bankers, and merchants. The army and navy and other distinguished organizations in various walks of life, European nations, the Far East, Latin America, and even far-away Honolulu sent duly accredited representatives.
