THE CRY COUNCIL makes lts an

Manual Training School Success.

The committee OF the manual train

II was an encourS ging sight last nigh
in the meeting OF the Board OF Edu.
Gallon to hear such unanimous
response TO the request OF the commit.
tee for an increased appropriation oil
three thousand dollars for The enlarge
ment OF facilities already demanded.
In school board OF twenty four mem
bers gathered In from different walks
OF lie, different professions, differ, MT
industries. different sects and different
politics, there was not a dissenting
voice to the request Of the committee
for increased appropriations. On the
contrary some members, like DR.. Nor
gan, one OF the best thinkers and most
practical men In the board, who at first
expressed considerable doubt OF sue.
cess and even Of the need of such an
institution, acknowledged last night
that he was thoroughly converted, and
no member OF the board was more
enthusiastic over the manual training
branch Of the public schools than he.
1t has been fully demonstrated that
exercises In the manual training
school stimulate thought and encour-
ages the pupils In their other studiea
1t gives them practical ideas that thew
could 10 no other way obtain, The
training school brings theory right
down to practice and the Young Iad
actually makes and handles many of
the objects OF which he otherwise
would have but theoretical knowl-
edge. ....-..
The enlargement Of the facilities of
the manual training school will. it is
true, take $4,000, but what is this
sum compared to the great advantages
that accrue. Instead of boys porting
over geometrical objects. cubes, cylin-
ders, angles, squares and circles in a
half sleepy state, in the training
school he gives freedom to thought |
and mind and actually makes and con.
s'ructs the objects over which he
pored In school hours.
The enlargement of tie manual
training school to embrace moulding,
blacksmithing and tinsmithing brings
these boys Immediately in contact with
many of the practical mechanics be-
longing to the great line of industries
Of the day; and when they graduate
from the High School they will have
but short apprenticeship TO spend TO
become practical and skilled mechan-
les. One OF the great benefits OF this
school Is that 1t stimulates the boys in
the primary grades 10 more diligent
study, that they may 60 more rapidly
through the various grades to reach
the training school. We have no doubt
that the training school will receive
