The Decline Of Mechanical
Skill

Twenty. Eve years ago surfaces of
wood were made smooth and exact by
a plane in the hands of mechanic.
The same is true of surfaces in metal,
except that tn instrument used was a
file or chisel. Great works were i'm
possible, except at heavy cost; and a
these days was a serious undertaking,
for it involved calculations as to tile
number of men who had sufficient
manual dexterity to be intrusted, with
the work. In reducing the valve seat
of steam engine, for instance, to a
plane surface, few too heavy blows
on the chisel would render additional
labor necessary, adding much to the
cost. ........ ...... .t..
The circumstances Of those times
produced good workmen., They made
mechanics in every sense of the word,
men of ample experience and high. in
telligence, familiar with all branches of
their business, and able to execute one
detail or the other with equal facility.
Through the introduction of automa-
tie machines, which only require to be
set in motion to produce certain forms,
manual dexteIity is no longer a prime
requisite, and as consequence versa
tile mechanics are scaroer every year.
( A prominent man remarked to us re-
Gently: ~ can take all the so-called
carpenters in this town, and out of the
hundreds find dozen, perhaps, wnlhy
| of the name; a dozen who understand
their calling in all details, and can esti.
mate for a contract" Persons having
work done in the country towns may be
able to verify this statement from their
own experience. Work which was to
have cost certain sum has exceeded 1t
enormously. The reason is in the fact
that the men were ignorant of their
business and guessed where they should
have calculated. Er........t.-. .
1 Machines reproduce certain forms
with far greater accuracy than the hand
can do. and with more rapidity. The
result is advantageous to society al
large, the workman included, but it i:
destructive to manu- dexterity as ap'
piled In the arts. The abolition of the
apprentice system has also much to dC
with this condition of things. When q
young man mad served seven years a
his trade he was fitted TO undertake
journeywork at the end of the time, re.
ceiving journeyman's pay; but the
system having fallen into dis use, no dx'
ed time being required in most cases, OF
no penalties attaching If the time agreed
upon verbally is not adhered to, young
men become restless, and leave after &C
, quiring mere smattering of thei
, handlcraft, and go 10 seek their fortunes
: The result is that the workshops ar,
, full of men who can do certain lines o
work and no others, and manual skill

Correspondence has passed between
the Governors of Illinois and Tennessee
regarding kidnapping case. Some
weeks since, George w, Smith was alb
Quoted from Massic county, H., and
taken to Tennessee, where he lis held
under an indictment for murder, The
Governor of Illinois demanded the re-
turn of Smith aud the surrender of his
kidnappers. The Governor Of Ten
nessee, admitting the action of the Ten
nessee authorities to be without warrant
of law, hopes that, as Smiths guilt was
notorious and there was no intentional
disrespect, the matter may be allowed
to remain as it stands. The Governor
of Illinois, however, renews his demand
stating that the guilt or innocent of the
accused is not in question, and that the
laws of Illinois provide for the deten-
tiOn for a reasonable time of any per-
son against whom there is liability for
crime in another State.
