70 other educational movement
IN is making such progress and is
| ] having such hold upon the peo
pie as manual training. The vast
sums of money spent for purely book
learning when viewed from the stand
point OF results is far from satisfactory.
The school has been one sided, 1t
has neglected the motor nature OF the
child, and now manual training Is to
bring about an educational balance.
Manual training as now used in edu-
cation embraces the arts and crafts,
including drawing, painting clay model
ing, constructive work In wood. iron,
and various other materials, also the
arts OF cooking, sewing, we% :, etc.
Anyone OF these handicrafts IL often
styled manual training, There art
two aims In manual training; one edu-
cational, which makes the constructive
activities a means for the development
of the child. the other commercial, us
ing the activity for technical skill, this
commercial worth OF the product meas
uring the value Of the activity. Both
Of these aims have their place in the
training Of the young, one receiving
emphasis at one stage Of development,
the other at another stage.
Educational manual training belongs
chiefly to the kindergarten and common
school, and II aims TO train the motor
impulses of the child through variety
OF constructive activities closely re.
lated to his every day life. This rich
motor environment appeals to the indi.
vidual tendencies OF the child and as he
advances the process OF selection goes
on, and by the time the pupil COM
pletes the grades he knows his stroae-
est capabilities, and on entering the
high school he Is prepared 70 emphasize
that line Of work for which he Is best
adapted. Here the commercial side OF
manual training begins, skill receives
special attention and finally the uni
yerslty completes the technical side
, OF his education.

canvass of the eighth grade graduates
OF last year showed that large per-

OF convenience. This inference is just-
fed by the fact that practically all of
those pupils are now enrolled at the

necessary relief to the parent instltu-

are not too sanguine In believing that

owing to the vast area covered by

MANUAL TRAINING.

The introduction Of manual training
Including mechanical drawing and

Ing for girls. stands not conspicuously
as the most important addition to the
course Of study made within recent
years.
While the mind must be trained to
think, the productive power Of the ma
tion can be enhanced to the extent only
that the coordinate motor activities
give tangible expression to thought. In
fact impressions are OF practical value
80 far only as they find ineligible ex-

act or a concrete product,
IL is this intimate and consequential
relationship between impression and
expression that Industrial training aims

discovers with Joy that a proper edu-
cation does something more than pro-
vide a lady with few so-called ac-
complishments, In fact, she finds
pleasure In realizing that there Is a
science IN cooking and an art IN both

cultured woman should know some
thing about each.
These two new features have already
passed beyond the experimental stage

inflammation to Voters.

The following instructions are
given for the information and guild
ance of voters: A voter upon en-
tering the polling place and giving
his name and residence, will receive
a ballot from the ballot clerk which
must have endorsed thereon the
names or initials of both ballot
clerks, and no other ballot can be
used. Upon receiving his ballot,
the voter must retire alone to a
booth or compartment and prepare
the same for voting. A ballot clerk
may inform the voter as to the prop
er manner of marking ballot, but
he must not advise or indicate IN
any manner whom to vote for. The
voter, if he wishes to vote for all the
candidates nominated by any party,
should make a cross mark, x, under
the party designation printed at the
top of the ballot in the circle made
for that purpose. A ballot so mark
ed and having no other mark, will
be counted for all the candidates of
that party in the column underneath,
unless the names of some of the
candidates of the party have been
erased, or a cross mark be placed IN
the circle under the name or at any
place in the space occupied by the
name or names Of the candidates IN
another column, and will be counted
for all names written in lieu of one
erased. If the voter wishes to vote
for some of the candidates of differ
ent political parties, he should make
a cross mark under the name of each
candidate he desires to vote for, or
at any place within the space in
which the name is printed. If he
wishes to vote for a person for a
certain office whose name is not
on the ballot, he must write
