p1rtment Of the school. Mr.. L. d. Girls.
void who pre,idcs over this department,
shows with much pride Il set Of shelves,
stool, and other pieces of furniture per
fectly executed and stained. They were
the work Of this defective and are pre-
served among the best pieces the class
has turned out. Two weeks after lcav-
ing school the boy obtained work in
carpenters shop.
That boy is not, and never will be ca
pablc of designing or planning thing
for himself" Miss Farrell explained.
But so well does he grasp the ideas OF
size, proportion and shape from his
manual training that he can follow
given plan perfectly. This makes him
valuable in his present position. Manu-
al training teaches such things to these
children as nothing else can.
"lt has been the experience of those
connected with the work that after all
is said and done, the problem of the spec
ial class is to make the children able to
earn living. Children not capable of
being taught this much should he placed
in institutions. SO far the work in this
country is only in its infancy. Wood
working. metal working, basket weaving
and such forms of manual work have
been attempted in our classes In Lon
don, however, where there are no less
than fifty centres for work among de-
fective children, with a total of 1853
children under instruction, there are well
equipped Kitchens and lauudries, and
even model homes have been provided
where both girls and boys receive instruc-
ton in cooking and housewifery, with ex-
cellent results
All children who are mentally defective
are found to be also in poor condition
physically. Sound, strong bodies, with
the blood coursing freely, cannot fail to
improve and brighten the mind. Physical
exercise and active games, therefore, form
an important part of the instruction in
all ngraded classes.
Drills and exercises are good for
training the eye in precision and the ear
in accuracy, as we'll as for body build
ing said Miss Farrell "Among the
sports, running games are best, | think.
