first step in the direction of providing vocational training foe school children of tlie city In the arrangements for the purchase of nine sewing machines for use in three of the city schools with a view to teaching the older girls dress making In recent years many educational ex perts have advocated vocational training as a means for keeping of cer tain classes in school for a longer period than many of them remain in school now and it is with a view of experimenting with this plan In Indianapolis that this first step toward vocational training lias been taken If the present management of the schools Is continued after the approaching city election plans will be made for the equipment of the new school building in West Indianapolis which will be com pleted about the first of the year with ample arrangements for the teaching of a number of trades and occupations to the boys as well as the girls This work as in the case of the dressmaking is to be more than merely manual training The purpose of manual training is not to teach the child a trade but to give him a better use of fits body and bis mind and is alined merely to give him general training aim of the vocational schools however will be to go far enough into the subjects taught to fit the child for this occupation at the end of his school May Prolong School Life A good deal of thought lias been tiven here to the problem of Inducing children to remain in school longer and the school commissioners are of the opinion that vocational training is an Important step Ip tills direction There are at present sewing courses in the grade schools but at the three schools where the maemnes arc to be placed the scope of this work is to be to the extent of giving the children enough train ing to enable therii to uo dressmaking They will be taugnt to make their own dresses so that even if they do not care to follow dressmaking at the end of their school lives they will at least know how to make their own clothing It has not been the purpose in the teaching of sew ing in the past to go to such a length with the work The three schools where the machines will be used are at No 12 West anil Mc Carty streets No 9 Vermont and ulton streets and No IT tfor colored children) at West and Eleventh streets Arrange ments have already been made for the work at the West and McCarty street school It will be done in the Riverside branch library near by and this will be the first step toward the broadening of the scope of the branch libraries of the city to include various kinds of valuable training and work by the people of the neighborhoods in which the libra ries go This is a plan that will be ampli fied when tlie new Carnegie branch libra ries are completed New Yorker Writes Letter Telling Impressionsof

Is a great handicap to success in Paris that the city de mands 10 per cent of the gross receipts of every performance in Paris In fact the theater the management of the com pany the author1 the Society of Authors the city of Paris and sometimes even other interests each has a representa tive in the box office when the receipts are counted up The occasion has all tho formality interest and

him has his position to contrast with that of the rench playwright upon whom there is levied a multitude of de mands The rench playwright gets his share of the gross receipts only when all these interests are satisfied As a matterof fact there are so many demands upon the earnings of a play oven when it is successful in a rench theater that it is with difficulty that a good play can en joy a

interviewed midnight a young short heavy be courteous in the case of a com plete outsider A position of the authors in Paris is a remarkable one No manager can pro duce a play not written by a member of the Society of rench Autors Should he do so he can not have any of the works of the other 200 members of the society In order to produce American or English plays In Paris like and I had to become a member of the Society of Authors Al though the authors understood that this meant opening up an avenue for the in troduction of foreign plays the election was made without feeling and with great friendliness The author of every successfully pro duced rench play becomes a member of the Society of rench Authors In ac cordance with the rules of the' society each author is "entitled to a number tickets for every play performed at a Paris theater If tlie play is successful' of course these seats are sold by the authors to street speculators In many cases hungry authors have been known to take their place in front of the theaters and themselves sell seats for the per forniance of their fellow play It is only after the play goer has suc cessfully passed through this mob of au thor speculators or their representatives in the and has emerged from an examination as severe a5 our customs perpetrated by many representatives of many interests each ambitious to secure a piece of his ticket that the play goer reaches the corridor of the theater where his real troubles begin' There he Is' faced by a phalanx of rench Amazons the female ushers who are the widows of those who have fought for their country and who themselves now stand in line ready to fight the audi ence to a finish securing hats coats gloves and canes Barrie Sees When was first played in Paris I induced Barrie to see his play acted before the rench When Mr Barrie entered his box he was obliged in accordance with the custom of the coun try to yield a franc as a tip to the female usher and another franc tip to the female who gave him a program Mt Barrie's extreme shyness is in inverse ratio to his fame He disliked sitting In the box during the whole performance choosing rather to go out at every available opportunity and hide himself in some obscure corner of the building But each time he re entered his box he was greeted as a stranger by the omnipresent female usher and program lady The one was just as determined to show Mr Barrie to his box again as the other was that he should not enter it without a program It made just as little difference to the one that the author knew where his box as it did to the other that he did not need the program A theatrical manager can manage only one theater in Paris' This is an abso lute law of the Society of Authors which along w'lth the state authorities entirely controls the theaters of Paris This con dition is of course Impossible in any ether country It is slowly becoming im possible in that is what makes it impossible elsewhere is gradually making it impossible in aris oreign material is very rapidly making its way into Paris theaters England accepts 1 plays from every quarter and so does America But by the present system of control through the Society of Authors there are prac tically no channels for the admission of foreign plays into rance the theaters of Paris Is entirely differ ent from that in vogue in America or In England When a manager of a theater arranges for the production of a number of plays at his theater during the sea son he gives the author what is called a or card When once given an author this card establishes his po sition in that theater for the production of his play during the season Should the manager not produce the play he is liable for a heavy forfeit The billets are given by numbers the manager naturally distributing them in accordance with his preference for the plays that he accepts Should one of these plays meet with a great success all the other authors billeted at the the ater are necessarily put off By a rule of the Society they are entitled to their play and a financial return Tf a fresh billet is issued the play goes back to the management and new numbers are distributee!
