MANUAL TRAINING DEMANDED,
End of the Age of Industrial Irpor.
ance is at Hand.
From the Portland


Never before in the history of orr coun-
try-perhaps in the history of the world
We're so many avenues open and opening
for the work of skilled hands. The age
OF industrial cobbling and of labor bamp-
ered by ignorance is practically at an
END. That our present educational system
Is steadily growing away from the stand
ard of pIacticability, and hence from tho
standard of usefulness and industrial de-
Velopment, may be conceded. Very little
that Is being taught in the higher grades
OF our pubic schools at present is of
practical value to the majority of pupils,
upon and much time is frittered away in
processes" which serve to confuse
rather than enlighten. The educational
machine is being fed laborously but with
spare time upon the floor of the sitting
room with a copy of the Scientific Ameri-
can before him studying the mechanism of
steam engines and electrical appliances is
made 10 prose for hours over his Latin les
son with his fellow pupil of literary bent
of mind. The lad whose most cherished pos
session is small kit of carpenters tools
is condemned to months of profitless str1g-
gle with verbs in their various moods and
lenses, while his companion, a boy inter-
ested in all growing things, who has a
knack' for making cuttings take root and
seeds germnate quickly. and who never
misses a chance to tramp out in the coun-
try at harvest time, grows desperate over
unsatisfactory attempts to extract the cube
root or deal understandingly with problems
in compound proportion.
A revolt against Inconsistencies fostered
under the name of education is going on
in many thoughtful minds. and, taken in
conjunction with the practical facts of ma
tional growth and widening opportunities
1t is making itself heard in the demand
Tor manual training. The power of being
able to do is the essence of all power Its
power is contentment and It's fruit is sue
cess.

l have made the most thorough investiga-
tions TO find if there was the slightest truth
in the allegations that the Americans had
forced the Filipinos into actice hostilities
OF these allegations l can discover no cor
roboration. Indeed, the contrary appears
to have been the case. Forbearance almost
to weakness has been the predominant note
in the American treatment of the native.
On the frontier lines the Filipinos have
come up to the American lines over and
over again. have deliberately loaded and
pointed their weapons at the sentinels
laughed contemptuously in their faces and
as contenptuously retired to their own
lines. In the city insulting epithets and in
suting conduct have been frequently Of
fered the American officers and soldiers,
refrained from retaliating. 1t was felt that
this conduct could not be tolerated for
long.
1t is stated by the Americans, with every
desire to be fair to their opponents to the
last, that they did not believe Aguinaldo or
his immediate attendants would have coun-
tenanced the misbehavior of their subordi-
mates, and from what | know of the Fill
ipinO leaders / have met, l incline to the
opinion that they would have discounte-
nanced the aggravating tactics of the rank
anything condemnable. 1t says much for
the restraint of the men and the control
their officers had of them that the Ameri-
can troops behaved so splendidly in the
face OF serious provocation. On every hand
hear that General Otis, the United States
chief. eXerted his personal
influence on the side of peace.
