THE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL

THE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL.
To ths Editor of the PRESS:
1 have been informed that there is oppo.
sition to accepting the proposed gift of a
building for q manual training school.
AS for many years I have advocated the
esta blishment of such a school 1 cannot
in words express my surprise. The neces-
sity for fitting our boys for something
better than labofers is too apparent. We
have our high school for fitting boys for
higher education, but the great mass of
men are not ministers, lawyers and
doctors. We all need knowledge of how
to handle tools even If we do not work at
a bench for living. In thousand ways
I have found the summer vacation spent
in carpenter shop of great value to me.
Do not turn any boy out into the world
from our schools without the knowledge
of how to handle tools. Cannot afford
a manual training school" You cannot
afford to do without it.
The difference between the boy who
knows how to use the plane and saw for
anu UuO IVY VIZ tOCo Loes W hOAi
he leaves school, is that one has the means
of earning living within his reach and
the other mas not. Mr. Beecher once in
a lecture in City hall illustrated the adj
vantage of education by taking lump
Of clay as an illustration.
The brickmaker makes brick Of it at
dollar a day; the potter makes a garden
pot Of it at two dollars day; then he
took us by successive stages up to the
man who earns hundred dollars a week
for making the vases and crockery at
Wedgewood, Dolton or Trenton.
Teach our boys how to handle plane
and saw, how a good joint is made and
then most of our good mechanics will not
speak broken English, and our own boys
will not be looking out for Klondikers
and Eldorados. Indeed my experience
has taught me that the education of the
eye and hand acquired in practical
mechanics is of great value to any man
in any walk in life.

The condition Of the nearby roads and the
city thoroughfares is question in which all
the wheeling associations should be interested
ard In which all should work In harmony. The
present condition Of the Brooklyn Bridge is one
which cyclists deeply deplore. II is rather q
dangerous undertaking at present to attempt TO
ride over the Bridge on wheel during the busy
hours Of the day The laying OF the trolley
tracks takes UP about one-half of the approach
and wheelmen have to fall In behind the car

stops frequently. and then the only thing TO 90
is for the rider Of the wheel to dismount' Tor
there is not space enough to pass ALONGSIDE 'i'e

over the Bridge the cyclists will have an even
