The stage of mechanical habit is never
acquired. 1t only produces a habit OF think
ing of what is required. We do not pro-
duce skilled mechanics, but in the manual
training school we turn their attention to
mechanical habits as an aid to mental de-
velopment. What, then, is this manual
training except continual thinking? By its
methods the boy learns, not because the
book says so, but because he sees that it is
so. The object is not to make mechanics.
1 have stated that fact many times.
We do not teachebanking in our schools be-
cause we expect pupil to become banker,
or drawing because he is to become an
artist, or an engineer, but we do expect our
boys will have something to do with bankers
and engineers when they become grown.
Our great object is education; all others are
secondary. Every object of attention in
the schOolroom should be there for two rea-
sons, one for economy and the other for
mental training. The moral benefits are
invaluable. The average boy has become
accustomed to look upon
MANUAL LABOR AS DEGRADING,
and something to be above. With the
acquisition of manual skill in himself he
looks up at it with respect in others. With
out going into discussion of the present
great agitation between capital and labor,
l think that manual training of the boys of
this generation will be beneficial in solving
this question. In our school the manual
elements are subordinatestoithe intellectual
1t is one lesson of work and two lessons
of recitation; we teach a few things and we
try to teach them well. The work is
equally well and thoroughly taught. We
are frequently asked what we do with the
boys work, and if it is sold. People for
get that the first work is comparatively
yalueless, as much SO as the first efforts in
penmanship. The moment you make a
factory out of school. then the
school ceases. 1t is no use
to try and make the work of
school sustain it. You do not find law
colleges endeavor to make their expenses
out of their pupils. 1t is barely possible
that the high school of st. Paul might be
made self-sustaining by selling the compost
lions of the pupils to the daily press, but 1
question the ACCESSIBILITY OF such scheme.
The cost of conducting school for manual
training is not heavy, and it will pay in the
end. A manual training school when once
established will never be objected to on ac-
count of its expense.

OMAHA, Dec. ga circular under the
date of Dec. % has just been made public
at the Union Pacific headquarters producing
several important changes in the personnel
of the road. 1t announces the appointment
of P. P. Shelby, general ticket agent, as
assistant general traffic manager, headquar-
tiers at Salt Lake, with authority to rank
that of the general and assistant general
agents. His territory will include Idaho,
Montana, Utah. Nevada, Washington terri
tory and California. This is virtually a
new office, and was found necessary for the
large number of questions arising in this di-
vision of the road requiring careful adjust
ment, as consequence of which it has here
tofore been necessary for the Union Pacific
to send some one specially from Omaha.
Mr.. Shelby will be the sole arbitrator of
these questions and will also have charge
of all commercial business in his territory.
He is one of the oldest and most trusted
officials on the road, having began his serv-
ice for the Union Pacific company fully
twenty years ago as switch-tender. From
that humble position he has occupied every
intermediate place to that to which he has
now been promoted. j. A. Monroe, for
merly assistant general ticket agent at
Kansas City, is promoted to the position of
general ticket agent. with headquarters in
Omaha. j. S. Tibbitts of the freight de-
partment is appointed assistant general
ticket agent at Kansas City.

as that given in the school room. The
pupil is not given tools and told to make
something with them, but they are ex-
planned the nature of them as they are
taught. We begin at the very A B G. as
it were, and step by step the ground
is covered during the course
A manual training school does not stop at
training of the hand. The great thing to
be accomplished is education, not physical
training, the training of the mind, the de-
velopment of all the moral faculties. The
first step is to introduce explanatory
PICTURES AND DIAGRAMS;
next, apparatus and models that the teacher
can handle and explain to his pupils; and
next, the adoption of the labora-
tory method, and erecting machinery,
benches. with tools, and giving
pupils practical demonstration and instruc-
tions in the use of them. We strive to
have all make progress. We use the best
textbooks, the best apparatus, the best
tools and the best teachers that can be pro-
cured
The lecturer spoke of the application of
manual training, as applied to the different
pursuits of life, and of the general suppo-
sitiOn that the artisan or farmer needed
no training beyond his calling. There
is growing demand for men of
skill, and are colleges and universities
equal to the demand? Referring to school
statistics. he said that only a small per
cent. of boys reach the high school, or
about 400 out of 5000. If free, manual
training school could draw 400 more of
those boys; would it be worth while? In
st. Louis the average age of boy leaving
school is about ID, that which is just the
age when one or two years of manual train
ing would prove of incalculable benefit to
them. 1t is hard to get boys interested in
school, but add the delightful aids of
shop and workroom and they will stay in
school. l have seen boys who could not be
made to stay in school become infatuated
with the manual training school. They
would go from mathematics to shop, or
from Latin TO shop as eagerly as to play.
Shop work is not play by any means, but
they enjoy it. All their work is arranged
for them, and it is no more difficult to keep
them at it than any interesting feature
would be. I have arranged here on
this board diagram, showing the course
Of study of my junior class in the st. Louis
school, by which you will see the plan of in
struction, the manual training occupying
but one-thrd of the days study, the rest
being given to the intellectual pursuits.
THE DIAGRAI
will show how the instruction of the class
is divided into three divisions of twenty
four pupils each, and in this way the work
shop is always occupied during the day,
two of the divisions being engaged in
their intellectual studies, while the third
is receiving instruction in the shop.

ELDoRADo. Kan, Dec. 26.-The Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe has submitted
township and city bonds proposition in
Comfy county to aid in the building of
twenty-five miles OF road between Douglas
and Winfield; and when completed they
will have continuous line from Florence,
via Eldorado, to Arkansas City. Under

Beating the Brokers.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The lack Of progress
in the arrangement of passenger matters on
a satisfactory basis out of Chicago is offset
by the energetic action being taken in the
East. Commissioner Fink has just issued
an order directed to all the agents in the
trunk line offices, forbidding them to sell
either tickets or sleeping-car berths to ticket
brokers or others who intend to dispose Of
them again. except when they intended to
be used by the broker and his family; and,
further, not to sell to messengers when it is
fair to presume that the messengers are
sent by or on account of the brokers. This
is the first time an order of this kind
has been issued by concerted &C
ton. The Pennsylvania has here
tofore been the only road that
had the courage to take this step. The
other trunk lines have had to combine be-
fore venturing on such action. The Balti-
more & Ohio. Chesapeake & Ohio, and the
New Y DIRK, Ontario & Western are not par
ties to the order. Several of the lines inter-
ested, notably the West Shore, loaded up
the brokers with first and second-class tick
cts and now shut them out by withdrawing
sleeping-car accommodations.
