MANUAL gRAININe eRowTH

The manual training idea in eonnee-
ton with the public schools is growing.
The plans for the Topeka school have
been interrupted by the food but it will
not be long until the city viii be in the
front rank in manual training. In this
connection the following comments of
the Chicago Record Herald viii be in
teresting:
The decision of the school board to
trial and manual training centers.
cooking schools and kindergartens is
TO be highly commended as movement
in line with present educational pro-
gress.
Chicago has Jagged behind the process
sion IN the matter of providing faciii-
ties for industrial training in her pub
nc schools. New York, Boston, Wash
lngton and Philadelphia are far ahead
q her IN this department of education
She IS even behind some of the smaller
cities in the establishment of public
kindersartens
While this backwardness may be
partly ascrlbed to deficient revenues it
may also be charged up to the conser-
vatiVes who were inclined to jog along
IN the old ruts where education con-
sisted of 'readin'. 'ritin and 'rithme-
tic" The need of a broader training
than that which is to be found in books
however. has now become so generally
recognized that the extension of man.
ual training. domestic science and kim
dergarten schools no longer meets with
serious opposition.
The argument in favor of the work
shop as an adjunct to the book work
OF the public school is based upon no
desire to undervalue book knowledge
or to detract from the Importance Of
language study. The demand is for a
harmonious blending of the book know
ledge and manual training to the end
that the powers of the child shall be
fully and adequately developed
To maintain a system Of public in
struction that keeps a boy twelve years
IN school and sends him sout with no
knowledge of any of the crafts and in
dustries and with only smattering of
the sciences IS unjust to the boy and a
reproach to our much Wanted intel

Senator J. r. Burton is now urging
the plan of storing flood waters on the
plains for irrigation purposes It is not
a new idea. but it has received a new
impetus from the recent floods which
have swept the valleys of Kansas
streams.
The plan is an excellent one If it can
be made practical That is where it may
be weak, and this weakness furnishes
doubters a chance to scoff at it. Doubt
ers have seoffed at a great many other
things, however. which have proved
great successes when once established,
and it is quite possible that this may be
the case in this instance.
The idea is that if dams are built
across draws" and the innumerable
headwaters of the various creeks and
small streams on the prairies it would
not only conserve these waters for irri-
cation purposes but would also shut off
that which sweeps down the valleys de-
stroying homes and crops This does
not often happen in Kansas but the oc-
currenee of last week is a great. object
