IA ANUAL training received its first
'm impetus in this country from the
Russian educational exhibit at the
Centennial in Philadelphia in 1876. The
director of the Imperial technical school
at Moscow was the first to evolve sys-
tematic course OF tool instruction.
Manual training as now applied to
school work in the United States, began
with the founding of the st. Louis man
ual training school in 1880. Since that
time. particularly within the last four
teen years, its growth and spread has
been very rapid, until today it has become ONE
a factor of great Importance in public
school education in all parts Of the coun-
try. 1t is one outcome OF the feeling
of dissatisfaction with the older methods
of education and the effort to make pub
lie education more practical. Manual
training without teaching any particular
trade, teaches the underlying principles
of them all, bringing the boy or girl In
close touch and sympathy with all me-
chanical and industrial arts"

and are a standing testimony to the in
struction in these courses.
In speaking of the work of the manual
training department, t1UI. Johnson says:
What ia a manual training school, and
what Is its object2 In the first place IL
is not a trade school: The scope OF any
trade is too narrow for educational pur-
poses. Nor does 1t manufacture articles
primarily for use or for sale; the prod
ucts of the shop as a rule have no value
except as exercises illustrating typical
forms and methods. Manual training Is
as broad and as liberal as intellectual
training.
'"rhe whole aim of the shop is educa--
tionaL Were its product manutaet,n li
on what he could do best at the expense
OF breadth and versatility. The manual
training school fosters intellectual NE,
is the only article to be put on the mar
ket.
manual training does not mean simply
the use of the hand, nor does 1t mean
simply the training of the hand for the
sake of the hand, nor for the productive
skill which that training gives. 1t is q
training of the hand for the purpose of
securing at the same time, and primarily,
the training of the mind. through the
senses of touch and perception. When
the hand and eye are trained to accurate
tai faculties of attention, comparison, re-
Election and judgment are exercised ana
developed.
The constructive faculty, so strong IN
youth. and which manifests itself even in
the youngest of children when the OPP
portunity is given, is allowed its proper
development in manual training educa-
ton. The hammer and chisel go hand in
hand with the pen and book The instruc-
ton in tool practice is not allowed to
diminish the amount of attention given to
sketching and drawing designs. Here the
principles of pictorial perspective are
taught, sketches from objects and nature
made. The sense of form and proportion.

the effect that the bridge over the Sno-

The commissioners, while admitting that

much credence TO the report that II was
purposely wrecked. In order to quiet the
rumors, however. II is probable that an In

The finance committee of the board Of
directors OF the district has prepared a re-
port which will be presented at the meet
ing to be held, Monday evening. the essen
tial portions OF which are here appended:
The sources of revenue for maintaining
the common schools of the district are
three:
First--The district receives from the
state from time TO time during the school
year sum of money based upon the daily
school Attendance, which In the past has
averaged about $40 per child In attendance,
and which In the coming year IS estimated
will amount to from s14 to SIG per child In
attendance. 1t IL exceedingly difficult to
obtain. the actual figures upon which to

amount as the school board fixes; pro-
vided, however, that this amount so fixed
can never in any one year exceed ten
mills on the assessed valuation of the dis
trict
Third-The school district may. when au-
thorized by the vote Of the people of the
district, borrow money and issue bonds of
the district therefor In any sum not ex-
e per and Sf p he r Pf0
that the money 80 borrowed can only be
used for paying the outstanding indebted
ness OF the district, or for the. purchase OF
schoolhouse site or SITES or building one
or more schoohouses and providing the

apparatus or for any and all of these

amount OF bonds to be Issued, together
with any unredeemed, outstanding indebt-
edness. exceeds ~ per centun Of the tax
able property OF the district, then for such
bonds three-fifths Of the votes cast at an
election Is necessary.
The Present Law.
The present law authorizes the school
board during each school year, and with
out vote of the people. to expend for
purchase Of school sites and erection Of
buildings, the sum of $4,000 So this
amount is figured in as permanent ex-
pense, II not being probable that in the
city of Seattle for some time to come this
annual expense can be dispensed with
In addition to this amount there is an
other fixed charge upon the district, being
the interest upon $750.000 bonds heretofore
issued, and the annual interest charged
against which fs $50. 900.
Keeping In mind these fixed charges OF
$4,000 for buildings and $4,000 for interest
or $4,000 each year, In addition to the
other expenses for running the schools
and there is left the second division OF the
report, viz. the expenditures for the first
year; that Is, July /. 1899, to June 80 1900
