grown to its present Importance during
four years of experiment, one hour and
fifteen minutes having been devoted

branches by reason of this
interest and enthusiasm and the I'M
proved attendance secured thereby;

latent talent and special capabilities in
pupils deficient In ordinary school work:

foundation of all good mechanical work,
by working exactly to the line; the sup
plying of training which will be Of in
eStinlable practical value in after life;

thirty-fye schools. which include LOO
scholars, and is of peculiar interest.
