children In county poor houses and instE
tutions was spoken of as one that would
lead to vicious results. The best plan, it
was argued, was the placing of dependent
and neglected children in families. The
prime necessity of life is to learn how to
work so as to know how to live.
Pending selection of families there
should be preparatory schools wherein
the children should be taught. This
will tend to make them happy members
of families. The discussion which fol-
lowed showed general concurrence in
the report.
At the evening session Prof Felix
Adler delivered an address on ''The In
tiuence of Manual Training Upon Char
acter." 1t was an able argument iii
favor of introducing into our common
schools the teaching of trades
and other branches of productive
LABOR. The professor explained in some
detail the theory of manual training, es
pecially in its influence on the will. s'The
emotions,'' said Prof. Adler, 'are like
the rudder of q ship, but the will is the
power that drives it through the waves,
Without will-power the best intentions
are useless The will consists in the
adaptation of means to ends. The adj
yantages of manual training of the viii
in children are many. The objects pre-.
sented to them are concise and interest.
ing from the start. Finally the pleasure
of achievement encourages the pupil to
similar efforts in the future. Thus per
sistency in following an aim, patience
and perseverance are inculcated." +"
