MANUAL TRAINING.

On Saturday morning at $3.50 o'clock
Mr.. ID. F. Dyer. OF the Bishop Scott
Academy. Portland. will begin the
course In the department OF manual
| training in the school started by Mr..
]. VIM. MacCormac in the school-room
OF Grace church.
Owing &c the unforeseen delay all the
equipment OF this department has not
arrived. but there h much which can
be done In the meantime. and II Is
hoped that all who contemplate the
course will be on hand.
This Is one branch of the school
which car be had apart from the regu-
lar scholastic course.
We cannot but think that II more
were known about this side Of educa-
ton many parents would be glad to
give their children the advantage OF
this opportunity.
The design OF this work. more cor
rectly called "Sloyd" is TO train the
originality, the perception. the precis-
ion, the practical ability of the pupil
by real work; handling the tools, keep
ing them in order, and learning some
thing OF the nature Of the material
worked upon.
In this school nothing but wood
demands were sufficient there is no
reason why blacksmithing and clay
modelling should not be added.
For many years thoughtful educators
have considered that many faculties Of
the pupils Were undeveloped in much of
modern public education. Too much
theory, possibly, and not enough prac-
tical knowledge. The aim OF SlOyd Is
TO provide the practical and, as often
happens. when one side Is developed a
new meaning is seen to attach to the
old, so here II Is easily seen that very
useful theories can best be illustrated
and carried out in practical work when
mistakes cannot always be corrected
without doing the work all over.
The pupil is taught to apply his the
ory, and TO be exact. Making exact
plans beforehand and carrying them out
exactly is good mental as well as ply
steal exercise.
Some of our prominent people see the
force Of this side of work as II Is so
wonderfully and skillfully carried out
In other places and when this work
began in the last summer vacation
many of our prominent men were will
ing to back such an undertaking with
their moral support. and to promise
HndnCldl support enough 10 lldhS the
plant a reality in our city.
Benches and tools and materials for
work are furnished the pupils and they
have to become adopts at one side or
more Of real life, and some to exhibit
not only a fondness for the work. but
skill as we'll.
At present a charge Of made of $3.50
per month. but this is merely to help
purchase the equipment and to meet
the necessary incidental expenses.
II Is sincerely hoped and certainly
aimed at in this venture to furnish
this course to any and all children
in our midst, who desire ii. for at most
Il nominal cost or for absolutely moth
ing. An opportunity is thus afforded
all interested parties to further plan
which will prepare our youth for their
future usefulness, and to give our COM
munity the reputation Of being abreast
of the times in care Of her youth.
ANY written information desired, may
be had by applying to Mr.. ]. w. Mac
Cormac, head master, 7S9 Franklin ave-
nue..

CHICAGO, May 23-There will be
an exciting and prolonged contest on
the floor Of the Methodist Episcopal
Conference before the majority report
of the Temperance Committee, cen
surfing President Mckinley for his at
titude on the enforcement OF the anti-
canteen law will be accepted, II 1t is
accepted.
The supporters of the minority re-
ports, from which all reference TO the
President has been eliminated. have
decided to appeal to the conference
mot TO become a party TO any censnre
of the President either as Chief Exec
utiye of the United States or as a
member OF the Methodist Church
The Is members Of the committee
who signed the minority report have
been busy with the members Of the
conference In an effort 10 secure sup
port Ia their refusal TO criticise the
President. The action OF the major
ity is said to have caused sense of
embarrassment among the leaders 10
the conference. who will be called up
on TO take stand on the issue which
the submission of the two reports will
raise.
Letters. kilograms and appeals on
the subject have been pouring In on
the members of the committee from
all paris Of the country since the COM
mittee decided upon its reports.
A number of these communications
appeal to the members not to reeede
from the position taken by The COM
mittee, while others present equally
earnest appeals to the conference not
to go on record as crlticising the Adj
ministratioD.
The contest hes been given some
thing of political interest by report
that the republican national commit
tee has representative here for
conference with members of the COM
mittee and leaders OF the conference.
His mission according to those with
whom he is said to have conferred, Is
to ascertain at first hand the exact
purpose of the resolution of the COM
mittee and to learn personally the
sentiment of the members Of the con-
ferenc, In regard to the report.
The committee will probably be
given an opportunity to report this
week. Chairman Samuel Dickel at
tempted to bring the matter up Sat
urday, but was defeated in the at
tempt.

FRUIT INDUSTRY SAFE.
Results of the Spraying Done in the
Early Spring Shows the Experiment
was a Success fruit sarowers may
Rejoice.

The spraying of the orchards ia
Berkeley county infested with San
jose sale has turned out to be sue
cessful beyond expectation, says the
Martinsburg World. Prof L. G. Cor
bett, OF the State Experiment Station,
Morgantown, and Postmaster Clohan,
have just completed tour of inspec-
tion of the orchards Ia which the
spraying was done in the early spring
and they report that the spraying was
the most successful that they had ever
seen. 1t could hardly have been more
successful.
The spraying has demonstrated one
fact, and that is that the San Jose
scale can be controlled, therefore. If
the fruit growers can take the proper
precautions aud spray properly, they
need have no fear that death has been
dealt to the fruit growing industry by
the San Jose scale.
In the orchards of Ambrose Bros.
and Clyde Borum. IN which the exper-
iment was tried, not tree was found
injured and about all Of the scale was
lOduu u VA VIC btcB kil3td. III was bHt
spraying done with the pure kero-
sine that proved TO be the most sue
eessfus. On the trees sprayed with
this hardly one of the pests was
found to exist. On the trees sprayed
with the % per cent kerosine mixture
nearly all were killed, as was also
the case with the % per cent.
crude oil. The whale oil soap, which
showed the poorest results of them all,
killed about so per cent of the insects.
Professor Corbett at first feared that
some of the trees would be injured,
but such was not found TO be the
case and the professor has marked it
down as one Of the most successful
experiments that has ever been made.
Yesterday they sprayed in the orch
ards Of Messrs. Bowers, Faulkner and
Clohan to prevent the work Of the
eaolin moth, or insect that deposits
worms ia the apples. Paris green
and laurel green with bordeaux mix
tare was used in the spraying.
To-day Professor Goroett went to
the orchard of Mr.. James Janney, in
the other end of the county to see the
results of the spraying done there.
