The tendency of modern methods Of
education is to stuff the head and neg
lect the hand The well educated boy
or girl is one who not only knows some
thing, but one who can do something, a
combination of the active brain and the
dextrOus hand. The introduction Of
classes in manual training in our pub
lie schools is a move which cannot be
commended too highly, and we are
pleased TO note that with this is being
incorporated training in domestic sci
ence for the girls. The objective point
Of all education is TO 1T the boy or girl
to care for themselves and fill useful
and honorable place in the world, and
this end cannot be obtained if the train
ing of the hand is neglected

1t is an old saying that cat has nine
lives, but little observation Of man
and his habits and mode of life would
indicate that he has sixteen. After
years of hard work, dissipation and
disregard Of all the rules Of health we
still see man living out his fourscore
years and ten, often full of travail and
sorrow, which he would gladly have
been freed from years before. 1t would
almost seem in some cases that man,
fike the old house dog gone toOthless
and blind. is far happier dead than
alive.

There is many man in our larger
cities drawing his SO or less per day
who would be vastly better off if he
could locate himself in the country
where food is cheaper and Of better
quality and where pure air and sun
shine are free to all. Likewise his chill
dren would be healthier in body and
mind and be more likely to turn out
good citizens than If boxed up in some
dingy tenement in the cities midst vice
and crime and deprived of the birth
rights which it is Gods intention
should be free to all.
