Manual Training in Public Schools.
From the New York Star
Superintendent H. w. Compton, of
the Toledo public schools, Is an en-
thusiast on the subject OF manual
training, and at the recent cOnven-
ton of the National Educational as
ISOLATION in Washington he read
an instructive paper on the bene-
fits which would result from
its more general Introduction.
Before returning to the West he spent
several days in this city. Speaking
of how and to what extent manual
training may be taken up in public
schools, he said: In most places
where manual training is being tried
in this country, it is through the
philanthropy and generosity of pr1-
vate individuals. Even when it is
closely connected with public-schod
systems in several cities this has
been brought about largely by pri-
vate gifts. 1t has come to certain
schools and cities as the kindergarten
system has come; in some places, first
through the enthusiasm and muniti-
cence of private individuals, and
