to smaller communities there are eco
nomical considerations that must DO
borne in mind. The full Russian sys-
tenn would be quite out OF the question
unless the school we're large and
wcll-supported high school. The equip
ment is expensive, the work technical
and the total yearly cost Of mainten-
ance in city schools Of about 300 boys
amounts to from s75 to s1C0 per boy.
But I sec no reason why a less Ella
borate scheme Of manual training in
wood and clay, such as sloyd, should
not be introduced into every village
school and even into every district
school. 1t succeeds best with small
classes, is adapted quite as well for
girls as boys, and finally is so indl-
vidual that children Of all ages may
work together without disadvantage.
A sloyd class should not exceed from
twelve to twenty children. The cost OF
equipment may be made small or
great. A sloyd workbench with COM
plete set of tools will cost from SIS to
s25. A room equipped with twenty
benches would therefore cost from $500
to $500. This means best quality.
Such an equipment ought to last for
several generations. A less substan-
tial outfit may be bought for half tho

a case has been recorded OF buffaloes
charging to protect a wounded ante
lope, though they VIII do so to save
a wounded member OF their own herd;
or of elephants or balloons or other
creatures which live in society, at

Of any other species but their own.
Among the creatures which seem TO
assume the role of scntries for the
protection of other animals, there is
one, the rhinoceros bird, whose be-
havior almost justifies the belief that
IL fees some duty TO the antelope or
buffalo on whose insect enemies it is
feeding, so extraordinary and appar-
emily organized is the war which 1t
maintains. But this is a very restless,
active bird, and ii is quite possible
that its familiarity with the species on
whose backs 1t finds food makes it
identify itself to some extent with
them. It probably imagines the buff
falo to be almost a part of itself. In
any case the instances of indifference
are so overwhelming that we may set
aside the assumption that there is a
common sympathy among non-related
animals, even when not carnivorous.
II is not a defect of character, but
OF comprehension.
The relations between those OF the

by an older stag to young one which
feared to jump fence. Lord Loyat

MANUAL TRAINING TEACHINGS

Manual training teaches no specific
trades, but aims to give knowledge
of the principles underlying all trades.

ally, IT means hand training. 1t teach
es the young men the principles and
practice of carpentry, patternmaking,
wood carving, blacksmithing, wise work
and machine construction, and 1t does
it more thoroughly and in far less time
than 1t is possible to do 1t in the man
ufactories themselves. The models are
not finished articles, but are simply
practice pieces intended to embody
general principles in both wood and
metal working. l am led to believe
that manual training, by enlarging a
boys interests and outlook, not only
help him more surely to find his right
vocation, but also tends to make that
vocation one of nobleness and worth.
And not only are these young fellows
occupied, but they are also successful.

Animals are so Helpless" themselves

in cases OF accident, that they can

others. But the impulse Is often there

is a rule with trappers to leave these
near trap; so We may conclude that
these animals probably visit their fell
lows when trapped. The writer once
saw an odd instance of this Intellectual
concern-probably not very deep, for
the actors were sparrows. A brick
trap had been set in a yard and a
sparrow caught. All the sparrows in
the neighborhood had learned 1t and
were sitting in crowds on hedges, GU
cumber frames, sheds and buildings,
discussing the situation or staring
modify at the trap where the captive
was imprisoned, but quite invisible.
Next day a robin was caught, but the
sparrows showed no concern whatever.
This tendency among the wild races
finds definite expression among the
domesticated animals, though instances
are not very common. We have seen

Alexander the Great.

Professor Benjamin Ide Wheeler
says of Alexander the Great in the No
vember Century: No single person
atty, excepting the carpenters son of
Nazareth. has done so much to make
the world OF civilization we live in
what It is as Alexander of Macedon.
He leveled the terrace upon which
European history built. Whatever lay
within the range of his conquests con-
tributed its part to form that Mediter-
ranean civilization which, under
Rome's administration, became the
basis of European life. What lay be-
yond was as IL on another planet.
Alexander checked his eastward march
at the Sutlej, and India and China
we're left in world of their own, with
their own mechanisms for man and So
ciety, their own theories of God and
the world. Alexander's world, to
which we all belong, went on its own
separate way until, in these latter day s.
a new greed Of conquest, begotten OF
commercial ambition, promises at last
10 level the barriers which through the
centuries have stood as monuments to
the outmost stations Of the Macedo-
man phalanx, and have divided the
world Of men In twain.

Without multiplying sentences OF

Numbering that even civilized races
relapse with astonishing pertlnaclty to
the non-benevolent state. and that in
cultured Athens the horrible human
sacrifices with which the story OF an
cient Greece is replete survived as
national institution, and that every
year a man and woman were whipped
through the streets and then burned
alive TO satisfy some such impulse as
prompts similar acts among the Congo
negroes. At the present moment the
absence OF benevolence in any form
among the non-developed races of to-
day needs no better illustration than
the fact recorded by Capt. Hinde, that
on the Upper Congo no negro lives
beyond 40, that being the age at which
their fellow-m directly or indirectly
