have no interest in any of the cases ;
or il may be by some one who just

Superintendent Hand went to Dur.
ham, n. c., last week to see the work
|ings of industrial training in the
schools. He is not prepared to say he
believes that industrial training promi-
ses success but he hopes it may be
made a useful feature, not as an end
except incidentally but as means to
educational work, and his visit to Dur
ham strengthened that hope. The in
dustrial department of the Durham
schools is in charge of woman, and
Mr.. Hand saw some beautiful speci-
mems of her own work. Work is CIV
en- pupils throughout the course, re-
gardless of sex, and the girls handle
the saw, plane, and other tools very
skillfully. Simple articles of furniture
are made, and the work is done by
hand. The utmost accuracy is insisted
upon, which is important in training in
correct habits.
