1roWth focuses for a time upon one
set OF organs or functions, then upon
another, until the whole body is devel-
oped; but all parts of the body do not
grow at one and the same time. The
sody grows first in length, and then in
glrth, in breadth and depth of chest,
IN breadth and height of forehead, in
breadth and length Of face. To make
special application of this WELL
known fact of periodicity in physical
growth, let us observe the develop
ment OF the muscles of the arm. The
muscles of the upper arm-those con-
cerned in the functioning of the shoul-
der 1oint-are ripe and ready for train
ing at least year and one-half before
the muscles of the fingers. The mus
cles of the shoulder mature for train
ing six months before the muscles Of
the elbow, and these in turn five to
eight months before the muscles of the
wrist, which are ripe and ready for
training from three to six months be-
fore the muscles of the fingers. When
we insist that a child shall begin to
write by means OF the finger muscles
only with a small pencil in narrow
spaces on ruled paper or a slate we run
directly counter to the principles of
growth and development that nature
has SO plainly written in his constitu-
ton. Must not education. to be edu-
cation at all, be in accord with these
Drinri roIoc rat hap tn nnnncitinn n
them? The child of 6 years, during
the first days of his school life, chooses
TO make large. whole-asm movements
rather than the minute movements of
the finger muscles At first he requires
almost an acre" of black board space
in which to write a few sentences. We
must train the large shoulder muscles
before attempting to burden the ten
der undeveloped finger muscles,
which are really injured by such too
early strain and involved -aativity.
Thus we find in our best regulated kim
dergartens of today none OF the finer
work for the younger children. The
young child is no longer required to
take up the beadstringing and pin
pricking exercises-at least not until
his eyes and his finger muscles are ripe
and ready for such training. In some
of the most modern kindergartens the
occupations and gifts are concerned
with larger objects instead of those
formerly used, which we're OF the small
Ter, more orthodox size-larger blocks,
larger pencils, larger needles. larger
beads and coarse string instead of fine

Like a Tiny Battleship.

From the Detroit Journal: P. H
has Just completed the hull of a most
extraordinary gasoline launch for the
United States government. Though
only twenty-six feet in length over all,
it is constructed in exact imitation OF
one of Uncle Sans men o. war. The
boat is designed for use by United
States lighthouse officials at the 800
1t was the unique idea of Lieut.. C. c.
Churchill of the 500" photographic
office. under whose direction the
launch was built, that she should be
given the lines of battleship. He pre-
pared the plans and made the model,
a counterpart of the Massachusetts.
Now she is ready for the water-ram
and all. She will be placed on a fat
car and transported by rail to the 500,
to be used in patrolling the st. Mary :
river and in tending buoys and other
channel marks. The moulded depth
is Az feet and her beam 61a feet. She
will draw three feet of water. At the
500 she will be fitted with a twelve
horse power gasoline engine, which is
being built by the Lake Shore Iron
works of Marquette She will have a
propeller wheel "a inches in diameter.
Her speed, it is expected, will be about
eleven miles an hour. The total cost
will be 81, 900.
