MONDAY AFTERNOON CLUB.
The meeting of the Monday Afternoon
Literary Club yesterday was one of I'm
usual Importance on account of the inter-
| esting talk by Superintendent Calvin s
Kendall, his subject being Manual Train
ing in the Public Schools" Mr.. Kendall
| emphasized the practical utility of this
| study and it's Importance in the school cur
the changed methods of living. much of
| the valuable training along the line of man.
| ual labor was impossible TO the city-born
child. There is a certain area of the brain
| which is trained through exercise of the
sense organs and in no other way, hence it
| is a mistake to limit instruction to that
which is acquired by the written page.
There IS, said Mr. Kendall a belief that
manual training Is necessary only to those
| who intend their life work TO be along some
mechanical line. This is a mistake. Man

blacksmith or a cook, but to increase the
| mental capacity by adequate exercise. An
| other educational need which parents neg
| lect and which this branch of instruction
| supplies Is training in the useful arts Girls
| should not neglect their music and their
| French. but at the same time they should
be taught TO cook and to sew and to fill
all the requirements of the housewife
whether as applied I'm kitchen or parlor
