AIR MAIL ROUTES
j ARE ADVOCATED
AERO CLUBS IN AMERICA ARE
ASKED TO HELP
The Aero Club of America
makes the announcement that A
s levander Graham, the inventor of
the telephone, has asked the club
■ to urge Congress to establish air
; routes wherever possible through
out the United States so far as to
bring in use thousands of aeropla
nes which, while being employed
daily for peaceful purposes, shall
form a valuable reserve of train
ed aviators and partly supply the
aeronautical deficiencies of the U
nited States army, navy and militia
Dr. Bell, in making this recom
mendation for using flying mach
ines in the postoffice, says:
“There the government can ass
ist us. If we have hundreds of
postal air routes with men carry
ing mails, wo have a vast number
of trained aviators accustomed to
flying and intimately familiar with
the appearance of the land over
which they pass."
The recormnandation of Dr. Bell
will be considered at the next meet
ing of the board of governors of
the Aero Chib, when there also
will he considered a plan to esta
blish the first forty-three aero
p'arv mail routes which have beer,
proposed by the Postoffice De
partment.
It was said the board of govern
ors will probably urge Congress to
make the necessary appropriation
for establishing these routes, which
may amount to So.000.000, and will
ask the thirty affiliated aero clubs
to support this recommandatior..

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE
Probably no phase for the move
ment for vocational education ex
hebits clearer evidence of the rapid
evolution in thought and practice
that is taking place than vocational
guidance, Says Dr. W. T. Bawden.
specialist in industrial education of
the United States bureau of edu
cation, in Kir annual review of pro
gress for the year 1915, made to
the secretary of the interior.
Only a few short months ago
vocational guidance was conceived
I of chiefly as a matter of giving
to boys and girls advice in the
; choosing of life work and assisting
in the securing of positions. In
, view of the ambitious attempts
made in a few quarters, and espec
ially the claims of a few concerns
that have investigated the com
mercial possibilities of vocational
guidance, extravagant expectations
have been raised in the popular
mind that have not been realized.
This conception is rapidly pas
sing. however, among the leaders
of the vocational guidance move
ment the chief function of their
work is now regarded as the study
of vocational conditions and oppor
tunities and the making
of the resulting information obtain
able to the boy= and girls.
The most important service that
can be rendered the individual
youth, under the name of vocation
al guidance is to set him thinking,
at the proper time, about the prob
lem of choosing a life work as a
problem to be seriously faced and
prepared for to make him fully
■ conscious of its existence as a pro

Vocational guidance in its appli- j

students has been receiving special
attention, according to Dr. Bawden.
He points out that sooner or lat

are educated.
Probably the most serious object j

MEXICO IS IN
HANDS OF A FEW
(World Outlook)
In the United States the farmer
is an humble person; in Mexico he
is a king of millionaires.
You look out aecross a level plain
and you see a magnificent house
of stone, cement and great timbers,
covering, sometimes, as much as
half an acre. Surrounding it are
other houses, hundreds of them,
but all small, constructed of adobe, j
brush or even cornstalks.
You are not looking at a town,
but at a ranch settlement. In the
great house—which costs many
times more than all the little houses
put together—lives the hacendado
and his family. In the little houses
live the peons.
The typical farm in Mexico is
not of 160 acres, but of a million.
In the state of Morelos 28 hacen
dado own all the agricultural land;
12 own niin tenths of it. The ter
ritory of Quintana Roo, double the
size of Massachusets, is divided a
mong eight companies. The great
er portion of Yucatan is held by
30 men, kings of sisal hemp. A
major faction of the agricultural
and grazing lands of' Chihuhua is
owned by one family. Lower Cal
ifornia. equal in size to Alabama, is
nearly all held by five corporations.
