The great majority Of girls who
pass through our public schools will
be called to take charge Of homes in
which competent servant cannot be
employed.
Even if perchance the home is one
where servants are employed, the mis-
treSS of the home must be skilled in
the work of the household if she is to
direct their work effectively. 1t is
these vital things in the every day
lives OF all of US which are affected by
Manual Training and Domestic
Science.
One may reply that it is the BUSH
ness of the home to furnish this
training. The fact is that in very
large number of cases this is not done.
There are good reasons why the home
does not and cannot furnish this
training. Conditions of life are
vastly different to-day than they were
even few years ago.

Grand Rapids is especially favored
among the cities of Wisconsin in that
it is to have the j. ID. Witter bequest
of fifty Thousand dollars for the i'm
provement of the public schools
This will be received in few days.

facilities for school work along the
lines indicated. The value of this edu-
cation in Manual Training and Do
nestle Science to this City can hardly
be estimated. 1t means, among other
things, that many boys and girls will
be held in school through the greater
interest in these lines of work-and
will get a practical high school edu-
cation. Without the stimulus which
these lines of work offer they would
have dropped out in the early part of
the course.

Manual Training Should be Extended.

All of these advantages are common
to other lines of industrial work such
as Manual Training and Domestic
Science. Through the public spirited
efforts of the women of this City
Manual Training was introduced into
the schools of this City four years ago.
The work in Manual Training cannot
now be carried beyond bench work in
in wood and mechanical drawing. 1t
is impossible to carry this work fur
ther both for lack of space and for
lack of equipment. Sewing has been
carried on in the grades for the past
three years. Work in other lines of
Domestic Science has not yet been
introduced.
Domestic Science.
The extension of the Manual Train
ing work-and the introduction of a
complete Domestic Science Course
for girls will be of immense value to the
people of this city. These subjects
are sometimes spoken of as ''fadS" but
it is difficult TO imagine anything
more essential to the success and
happiness of the average girl-and of
the home in which she will some time
be the head-than training in cooking,
sewing and other lines of household
economics. This is training which
touches directly the happiness and the
prosperity of every citizen, rich and
poor alike. The expense of this in

This bequest puts it in the power of
of this City TO complete our education
al system IN way that will result in
a more skillful and prosperous citizen
ship, living in better equipped, health
ier and happier homes
This bequest comes at very fortu.
nate time. Manual Training was in
PRODUCED here four years ago. This
has gi ven US time in which TO get the
foundation well laid. the course of
study carefully outlined. Whatever
might be added now would only be an
extension of shat with which teachers
and pupils are already familiar.
We would be assured from the be-
ginning that this building, if erected.
would be used by large number of
pupils, at least a hundred and fifty the
first year. This number would grad
ually increase from year to year.
Small Additional Expense Involved.
1t is true in education as it is else
where in life-that we canpot get
something for nothing. A more valu-
able education costs more-but it is
many times more valuable. While
the completion of the work in Manual
Training and Domestic Science will
increase the expense Of the school sys-
TEN, the increased cost will not near
ly be as great as may be perhaps eX.
pected.
We already employ special teachers
in Manual Training. Art, Music. and
Commercial work. The only addition
to the teaching force which would be
required would be Domestic Science
n ic mot foir n onncidar
the salary of this teacher as an addit-
ional expenditure, for pupils who take
Domestic Science will take it in place
of some other subject. such as liter
allure. history, mathematics. This
will decrease the number of classes in
these subjects and make it unneces-
Sary to hire as many teachers to do
the other high school work.
One instructor in Manual Training
can handle the high school work in
this subject. This is done in Osh-
kosh, GAINESVILLE, Appleton. and else
where where four year courses in Man
| ual Training are given. An eighth
grade teacher could be employed to do
the grade Manual Training and some
eighth grade teaching in other sub
iectS. We are now crowded for
| teaching force in the high school and
| eighth grade, and an additional
teacher will be necessary very soon
whether this work in Manual Train
ing and Domestic Science is extended
or not. In growing City addition S
to the teaching force are sure to be
required from time to time.
Equipment Made in Manual Training
Department.
1t is to be noticed, however, that
with fully equipped Manual Train
ing Department the school will be able,
| to do much in the way of repairing,
and mandatory Of furniture needed
for school use. This will be a saving
to the district of no small amount.

Upon receiving his ballot, the voter

the voter as to the proper manner OF
marking ballot, but he must not
advise or indicate IN any manner
whom to vote for. If it be a general
election these words are to follow:
the voter if he wishes to vote for all
candidates nominated by any party
should make cross mark X under

top of the ballot in the circle made
for that purpose. A ballot so marked

We should also remember that we
are now maintaining-the most expen-
Sive part of the Manual Training
work, the bench work in wood. In
any case the added expense would be
a small percentage of our total eXpen-
ditureS for school purposes. The adj
dition it would cause per thousand of
taxable property would be so small as
to be hardly perceptable. 1t ought to
be remembered that the heavy eX-
penSeS Tor repairing of school buildings
is over for some years. 1t will of
course be necessary to spend some
money each year for repairs only
a small fraction of what has been spent
the past year.
