MANUAL TRAINING.

With reference to the Introduction of
manual training in the public schools,
Superintendent Wheeler says no confer
ence between the committee appointed at
a meeting held in connection with the
arts and crafts exhibit last November
and the school board has ye' been held,
but he is confident that the board will
take favorable action in the matter as
soon as it can consistently be done. Per-
sonally he says he Is in favor of it but
cannot avoid recognizing some of the
difficulties in the LAY. The first one Is
the financia! obstacle. For Is years the
city has almost constantly been engaged
in building school houses, and there is
urgent demand for another one. Mr.
Wheeler continues: These questions
then present themselves; What kind of
training shall be introduced, for what
industries shall our pupils be prepared in
our schools, and in what grades shall the
training be given? Shall we give instruc-
ton in carpentry or painting, plumbing
or masonry. cooking or sewing, lathe
work in wood or iron, blacksmithing or
tinsmithng, or in any other of the nu-
morous trades and occupations? In in
Producing manual training, shall our OBJ
jcct be to train the hand, the eye, the
mental faculties, or to produce mechan-
les and artisans? There is probably a
dearth of skilled mechanics in the coun-
try and there is no other agency so gem
orally distributed, so well organized and
so powerful as the public school system

Postmasters are requested by the de-
partment to call attention to the practice
of some patrons of rural delivery OF plac-
ing loose coins in their boxes each time
they desire to despatch letters instead of
supplying themselves with postage

This practice imposes undue hardship
on rural carriers in removing loose coins
from boxes and delays them on the serv-
ice of their routes.
The postmasters therefore urgently re-
quest that patron of rural delivery
provide themselves and keep on hand a

HOW BURLINGTON Is BLEO
Paid $11, 603 in State School Tax
and Got Back $2,862.


In his annual report as superintendent
of the Burlington public schools, II. o.
Wheeler calls attention to the way in
which the larger towns and cities are
being bled for the benefit of other parts
OF the State. In 1906 the city of Buring-
ton received as interest on the United
States deposit fund the sum of S2,177. SO
and as interest on the Huntington fund
the sum of s6S1.14, a total of S2S6472 BY
the consolidation of these funds and leg
islation relating to them at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature the amount re-
ceived by Burlington in 1907 from the
state public school fund was only $500. 81
OF $2,o63H less than the city has been
accustomed to receive from the funds
controlled by the State. This loss falls
Upon the city and nccessitates an in
creased appropriation equal to the loss.
In this connection Superintendent Wheel.
cr says it is interesting to note the effect
of the state legislation upon burlington
in respect to the state school tax. Bur
ington paid as State school tax in 1907
s1l 30 and received in the distribution
of the tax s2,s6l99, thus contributing
Ss,7409i for school purposes outside of it
self and in other parts of the state. Mr..
Wheeler continues: without presuming
to question or to discuss the propricty of
such legislation, indicating u settled pol
icy on the part of the State it may be
proper to suggest hat if would seem as
if there should be a limit to the extent
to which the larger towns and cities can
be properly mulcted for the benefit OF
other parts of the State"
bn oF hC don ri
mcnt for the coming year are not likely
to differ greatly from those Of the past
year, but because of this help that Bur
linCton is giving other towns an appro-
priation nearly equal to that of last year
when a deficit was made up, will be re-
qured
Superintendent Wheeler summarizes
the repairs that have been made or
school buildings during the past yeai
and says that new heating apparatus vii
soon be required the Converse ant
Lawrence Barnes schools. The need OF
new building at Lakeside is pointed ou
and it is stated that the commissioner.
have had for several months preliminary
plans for such building but have no
yet found suitable lot which can b'

report will record the construction Of
Commodous and creditable school build
