Three RS and Manual Training

The matter of manual training in

OF attention lately from educators
and the trend of thought seems to

voting a good share Of school time
and school energy to the learning of
various handiwork which would fit
the child for entering the several
crafts The idea is excellent and
there remains but one danger as the
Journal looks at ii. and that is, that
the acquiring of plain, everyday. old
fashioned booklearning seems likely
to be temporarily eclipsed
We are making bad writer's, poor
spoilers and stupid "cipherers" in our
schools as it is. The enormous
amount of matter that now fills the
school curricula has actually crowded
the plain rudiments of reading, writ
ing and arithmetic into a secondary
position. 1t may be generally true.
but it seems as though II were harder
today than ever before to hire young
man or woman who can write a read
able hand, compose business letter
and put 1t down dramatically and
without grossly misspelled words, or
even do simple business arithmetic
that will stand the test of the trial
balance and cash-book. 1t may be the
fault of the pupils but 1t looks as
though the three RS might properly
receive little more attention.
In the local schools of Montpelier,
the Journal believes the proper thing
has been done in making the manual
training branch sort of play-time or
diversion. A boy naturally takes to
tools and the making of things, use
full, ornamental or practical, and,
without interfering in the slightest
degree with the essentials of book
study, the proper handling OF tools
and the workman method of doing
useful things is acquired almost with
out effort. This is eminently proper
and will undoubtedly work out well
in the final rounding up of the edu'
cation of the boy or girl But let us
not forget that proper learning of the
three rudiments must be attended TO
no matter what else is neglected.
A boy may learn the use of tools
outside his schooldays. He will new
err learn TO read, write and figure
properly if he does not learn 1t at
school.-Montpelier Journal

Soldiers home on Friday afternoon of

on the 2 o'clock car. All are invited.
There is a very happy fish and game
club member in the person OF II. A.
Davis. He is the recipient Of new
double barrel hammerless shot gun,
as a birthday present. This man ought
not to have any trouble in bagging a
mess of clay pigeons any time, as the
gun is one that any man should be
proud of.
There has been great deal of strife
among the members of North Ben
nington fish and game club as to who
would be successful in bagging the most
game and thus secure the first prize.
Several of the members are in order
! for prizes, but here is a man who is
not a member of the club who was
seen yesterday morning with some
animal in his possession with very
long hair and bushy tail, color black
and white. This man should be ad
mitted to the club as he has made
good in securing certain amount OF
game. If any one should ask who this
hunter is, perhaps VIM. Mayhem
might give you the information de
sired.
