Manual Training.

Tho object Of the manual training de-

skilled artisans in the trades Of carpen-
try and metal working, but 70 reach the
mind through the fundamentally OF the
hand. It necessarily develops both aim
ultaneously. It makes the hand more
skilled and obedient servant OF the brain
and brings about . more sympathstic CO.
operation between those most important
human instruments. 1t ID properly called
psyche. manual training, and IL certainly
thu meeting OF = natural craving in the
child to work and to produce. 1t there-
fore has direct bearing upon the har-
monious development Of the child-nature
and 10 an end in itself. At the same
time it prepares him for moro ardent
manipulation Of tho instruments and
valuable apparatus Of the high school
and college science courses, and may lead
him to choose some useful manual occu-
patton ~ his life work by showing him
his special fitness to best servo mankind
in that sphere. 1t must thus serve to
render labor moro dignified in his esti-
nation and may check the tendency OF
the times to get a. far away ~ possible
from manual pursuits.

sion and needless noise, the pupil thus

Leading Families of Smyrna.

Smyrna, once the depot of trade,
mart to which was brought the growths
of various kinds from distant parts,
was, in our time of association with it,
most distinguished for its storkeepers
and its traders. Its industries were
few and its merchants many.
Two characters impressed us
strongly. Piner Mansfield and DIR. Per-
kins were men of mark, but we cannot
dare to give an outline of their charac-
ter, except to say that these two men
were types of former generation, men
of sound mind, of sober habits, fine
discrimination and tender sensibilities.
But, taking the community as whole
they were fair representatives. We
recall others whom we can only name
Judge and George Davis, the Cum
Minis, Clements, Edward Beck, James
Clements, the Bewleys, Carrows,
Gould, Raymonds, Stocklys, Hur-
locks, Hoffeckers, Reynolds, Bells,
GoOtees, Fox, Mcdowell, Mumford and
others equally worthy of mention.
Middletown and vicinity gave to the
State men of energy, of solid worth

these were but little known to us for

HAS FAITH IN AMERICA.
A Cuban Delegate Makes PIen for
the PInff Ane ment

HAVANA. March 20-During a CONVEX
sation between a conservative delegate
and one of the most radical delegates to
the convention the former tried to con-
vince the latter that the Plat amend
ment was really a benefit and should be
accepted by the Cubans. He said he saw
proof of good faith on the part of the
Americans in the resolution which gave
the Cubans all internal control and would
enable them to keep their individuality.
He had hitherto distrusted the good
faith of the Americans, but in the Piatt
amendment, with the exception of the
clause claiming the Isle of Pines he saw
evidence OF their good faith The con
Nention, however. should try to have the
clause regarding the Intervention of the
United States 20 preserve law and order
clearly explained in the sense that the
United states must not intervene in a
trumped-up cause. The United States
had coveted Cuba for hundred years,
and in an unguarded hour had promised
the island its independence.
cubans should remember the reason
why the United States coveted Cuba.
These were principally for their own de-
fence, with an eye on an isthmian canal
The United States, in the Platt amend
ment, had harmonized their aspirations
OF century with the virtual independ-
ence Of Cuba. Perhaps. he added. the
next Congress might demand more than
the last.
General Roloff who for many years was
in the Cuban army. has been appointed
treasurer OF the island. his term begin

Gualberto Gomez will present his own

He says that this report will be adopted
by the committee. which will then present
it to the convention. He does not know
what the convention will do with it. He

accept the Platt amendment, and will ad-
wise that the United States refer tine mat

Il don't know how long We are to re-

eight or ten Ministers, with varying

Chinese officials or Chinese methods of
