 Men ant Women.

There IS discipline of the intellect and i emotions which comes to one by using the hands in work at the bench, or at any other | klnd pf honest labor t Is wrought into the 1 fiber of character and becomes d part of manhood, and those who have it are the nobility of thIs land This is education, and no man has right 10 cal it by any other 1 name. The reflex influence upon the charac. | ter Of laboriaE with the hands Is so great thai ! it digniiies man in his own judgment. He h8s more respect for himself and believes mora ia his own manhood He sees the ffuli Of his lahars. behelds that he is making an honest effort to earn bread for himself and those who are dependent upon him Int, i; not only the human but tue Divine order of life. There is place fo1 industrial training in our school sys tenn. Instead of loading up the course of study in the common school witt tho higher branches, al the expense of the taxpayers and 10 no good purpose, let these higher branches drop out and substitute the work shop and kitchen garden Let in. strucfion in these branches be joined to the substantial common school education and then tue millions of our young people whe arc 10 be the Wa9e-earnefs of the future may haze aH education of the hand and eve together With that of the mind How to ed ucate boys hands how to do It in connec. tiou with bis studies of grammar and geog raphy, arithmetic and writing, may seem problemnot likely 10 be solved in q practical way; but net so, 1t is beng done and satis. faetorily, too, in many Of our towns and cities. Every polytechnic, agricultural and mechanical school has adopted shop work or field work as q part Of the teehncal course. In the scientific department of college we find the laboratory work; in course of higher mathematics surveying Is the indus trial training feature though here the work of the hands is kept at the minimum. Industrial training may be introduced in the lowest departmental the primary school ia the form of the kindergarten; in the grammar grades the workshop and kitchen garden may be established in connection with school buildings. and further up stll, in our colleges. the gymnasium might be filed with machinery as object lessons to boys and g5rls. directing their thought and ingenuity To comprehend and in practical way use some Of the greatest inventions of the world Such an education could not fail 10 give Us more practical and useful men and Women.-Be !
