Rightly fostered it will be productive of
great good to the State and the indus

slim-built colts are produced, and if
these lack speed they have no value in

Work With the Hands. have tended to regard educatic

We have tended to regard education as A matter of the head only, and the result is that a great many of our people, them selves the sons of men who worked with their hands, seem to think that they rise in the world if they get into a position where they do no hard manual work whatever; where their hands will grow soft. and their working clothes will be kent clean. Such a conception Is both false and mischievous. There are. of course. kinds of labor where the work must be purely mental, and theer are other kinds of labor where, under exist ing conditions, very little demand indeed Is made upon the mind, though l am glad to say that I think the proportion of men engaged in this kind of work Is diminishing But in any healthy com munity. in any community with the great solid qualities which alone make really great nation the bulk of the people should do work which makes remands upon both the body and the mind. Progress can not permanently consist in the abandon ment of physicl labor, btu in the develop ment of physical labor so that 1t shall represent more and more the work of the trained mind in the trained body. To provide such training, to encourage Tn every way the production of the men whom 1t alone can produce, IS to snow that as nation we have a true foncep- tion of the dignity nd importance of labor. The calling of the skilled mechanic, should alike be recognized as professions, just as emphatically as the eallings of lawyer, of doctor, of banker, merchant, or clerk. The printer, the electrical work CT, the house painter. the foundry man. should be trained just as carefully as the stenographer or the drug clerk. They should be trained alike in head and in hand They should get over the idea that to earn twelve dollars a week and call it "salary'' is better than to earn twenty-five dollars a week and call it

which each individual citizen shall be trained so as to be effective individually as an economic unit, and fit to be organ ized with his fellows so that he and they can work in efficient fashion together. This question is vital to our future prog ress, and public attention should be focused upon it. Surely it is eminently in accord with the principles of our dem- ocratic life that we should furnish the highest average industrial training for the ordinary skilled workman.
 Industrial Training.
 But it is a curious thing that in indus trial training we have tended to devote our energies to producing high grade men at the top rather than in the ranks Our engineering schools for instance, com pare favorably with the best in Europe, whereas we have done almost nothing to equip the private soldiers of the industrial army-the mechanic, the metal-worker, the carpenter. Indeed, too often our schools train away from the shop and the forge; and this fact, together with the abandonment of the old apprentice system, has resulted in such sa, aa.senee of facilities fsss proNldina tiained .purneS- mu that in many of our trades almost all the recruits among the workmen are foreigners. Surely this means that there must be some systematic method pro- vided for training young men in the trades, and that his must be co-ordinated with the public school system. No indus trial school can turn out a finished jour neymen; but 1t can furnish the material out of which a finished journeyman can be made, just as an engineeding school furnishes the training which enables it's graduates speedily to become engineers.
 Pauper Labor.
 We hear great deal of the need of protecting our workingmen from com petition with pauper labor. l have very little fear of the competition of pauper labor. The nations with pauper labor are phot the formidable industrial connections of this country. What the American workingman has to fear is the compet- tion of the highly skilled workingman of the countries of greatest industrial ef- fciency By the tariff and by our immi- grafton laws we can always protect our selves against the competition of pauper labor here at hime; but when we contend for the markets of the world we can get no protection, and we shall then find that our most formidable competitors are the nations in which there is the most highly developed business ability the most high ly developed industrial skill; and these are the qualities which we must ourselves deevlop.
 We have been fond as a nation of speaking of the dignity of labor, mean ing thereby manual labor. Personally l don't think that we begin to understand what a high place manual labor should take and it never can take this high place unless it offers scope for the best type of man.
