! Take on. new life, You educators of an
! age that is gone Get ready. For the
children are coming with their new de-
mands. The kindergarten should begin
right here in Richmond It teaches as
it plays the development of all our pow
ers. and if not taught at that age some
powers can never be developed. In edu-
cation the mistakes of the past the future
can never correct. We, as educators, have
made mis- les enough. Let us start right
right now. Don't make the mistake that
many are now making of beginning at
the top. Begin not in your grammar
schools and your high schools Begin
With the Kindergarten. Never relnquish
Your efforts until every child in Rich
stop this work with the kindergarten.
Extend its methods evenly through all
your lower grades. The elementary work
Of manual training is only an extension
Of the kindergarten. 1t is play made of
use. 1t trains all the forces. It should
be a part Of your school, not an annex.
BRAIN AND Drawn.
Do not mistake what you mean by man.
ual training. 1t is not learning a trade.
It is not becoming machinist or a me-
chanic. It is simply the training of the
hands through the guidance of a trained
brain. 1t means the unifaction of all
our powers. t
Draw and brain have made peace, have
kissed each other and their united forces
are uplifting humanity heavenWard. Labor
and ca pital will one day be at peace. But
that will not come by arbitration; that
only smothers the fire. Nor by unions,
that on'y lead the ignorant by a way that
they know Nor by laws: for con-
quest by force is an eternal battle. 1t
will come only when in the capitalists the
humanities # life root out the greed. and
in the laborer, intelligence and skill sup
plant ignorance and awkwardness. This
will come when in our States every child,
white and black. rich, and poor. must go
to school, and when our schools oHicers,
composed of both men and women, are
selected solely with reference to their
ability to guide in this the most import
ant work Of the age, and when our
teachers are selected solely with refer
ence to their special fitness for their work
and trained so long as they continue TO
grow in their work, and when they are
amnly paid all that their services demand :
and never are cursed with the hope OF a
pension.
EXPENSES.
The cost Of the kindergarten would be
the teacher, who would teach four or
five classes per day. The equipment In
tho kindergarten need not exceed ten
cents per pupil per year.
The manual training in the four lower
grades should be taught in the regular
school-room by the regular teacher at an
average cost not exceeding s1.cO per pupil
per year, even If the equipment lasts only
one year. This would include:
Clay modelling.
Paper construction
Cardboard work.
Drawing.

scented was that men who went on strike

MANY WITNESSES
There were a large number Of other
witnesses called during me Two ses,
sions. hut most of the -.-nlony heard
was of a cumulative nature, relating
mostly 10 alleged unfair loca! conditions.
Among the witnesses heard was PreSl-
dent Mitchell. His testimony related
,,riucipally TO the manner il which ne
computed the averages he gave yester-
dav which showed that bltumlnous men
received from forty and nifty per cent.
more wages than the anthracite miners
Counsel for the Delaware ana Hudsoil

at the averages. The miners will close

MIR. M.A-HELLS VIEW.
Counsel for the independent operators
asked Mr.. Mitchell if the operators
made a contract with the miners in
which there was a clause providing for
noninterference with non-union men,
whether the union would enforce the
clause. Mr. Mitchell said: so long as We
have no contracts or joint conferences
we are not willing to tell in advance
what we viii agree to-
A discussion ensued over the question
of whether Mr.. Mitchell tried to prevent
interference with non-union men during
the strike. and Mr.. Mitchell answered
that the union was opposed to all VIo-
lence. The miners president concluded
his testimony by making an explanation
to the commission regarding the union S

about the mines. If the engineers, fire.
men. pumpmen. etc. each had a separ-
ate organization and one of these classes

He said last year four hundred tiremen
struck throwing out of work sixty
thousand mine workers. II all classes

These regular teachers can teach all

on an average s1.00 per pupil and fifty
cents per pupil per year for material
Please note that equipment will last for
sey eral years while the material is estt-
rated for only one year. But these
higher classes need not necessarily be
organized now. The great demand is in
the lower classes. We urge that the work
b.. begun at the bottom in the right way
ant be a part of the regular work in the
public schools. We urge that there be nc
SEPARATE schools outside Of the public
school courses; that there be no mammal
tanning high schools, but manual train
ing in high schools; that drawing be
