pedagogy, or its spiritual equivalent,
pschycology, or metaphysical science
Teaching ability is great, but the
ability to inspire others to become
students, to think, to feel, to ex-
press, to create-that is far greater.
That is the divine art that stamps
the man or woman a real teacher
the arouser, the awakener, the trans
mitter OF the promethean spark that
illumines the world. The possession
of scholarship and culture are capt
tai, reserve power, giving fertility to
effort, stirring other souls to emula-
tion.

Once a teacher, teacher for life
does not occur in many cases, but
certainly few who begin to teach ever
resign to get professional equipment.
Hence the Necessity of short vacation

PRACTICAL VALUE OF MANUAL
TRAINING AND OTHER RE-
ELECTIONS ON EDUCA-
TION.

Manual training in the United
States dates from the Centennia
exposition of 1876. Foreign ex
hibits from Moscow awakened in
terest in the subject and the first
schools were established in Boston
and st. Louis. It was soon found
that drawing. tool instruction, wood
and metal work and domestic sci.
enee were indispensable as parts OF
such a system.
Manual training Is broader and
more far-reachlng than teaching
trades. IL has been defined as the
creation of Industrial intellIgence.
Manufacturers complain that the av-
erage young man who applies for a
Job has not this intelligence and to
this is due the demand for manual
training and upon the public school
has fallen the burden OF supplying
this motor action.
Prof. McAlllster, city supterinten-
dent OF schools. Philadelphia, 1888,
gave this definition. "All that Is
meant by a manual training school
is the addition OF a sufficient amount
OF work in handling OF tools and the
manipulation of materials, TO a good
sound education in language. math-
ematlcs. history, science and draw
ing"
Manual training introduces the
sense OF responsibility for what Is
undertaken, the pride growing from
successful achievement. The In ,
born desire OF mankind to do things, |
TO make things, 10 be a creator. Is
gratlfied. In that which we expect
OF others we may find discomfort,
dissatisfaction. In that which we
learn to do with skill ourselves we
ind pleasure and satisfaction.
Manual training can be introduced
in schools that have not the money |
10 buy expensive outfits OF tools
and materials as follows: decorating !
of school rooms; beautifying school
grounds; laying out and construct !
ing appliances for games; replacing
weed patches with lawns, flowers,
vines. shrubs. trees; making a plot
OF ground into a park; gardening at
school and home; cleaning and re-
pairing books and desks; making
rubbish boxes, etc.
Out Of 1877 cities OF 1000 or
over manual training was taught In I,
$40 cities in 1905. an increase OF /,
90 over 1905. In 1890 only 81 In
oluded manual training. In 1905
there were itS independent manual
training schools with 4S.610 stu
dents. $1,000 males and 1900 fe-
males.
About sl1.Oo0.OOo is invested in
buildings and equipment of these
schools. which are OF high school
grade. II is a remarkable fact that
Industrial training is more general
In negro schools. Indian schools and
schools for detectives than in the
public schools for white American
youth.

In tho evolution of races and ma

laws. the enc self-evident, the other

demcnstrable, according to David
Starr Jordan. The blood of nation
determines its history. This is the
first proposition. The second is, the

TIA the character of men controls
Their deeds. In the long run and with

Equally true Is 1t that the present
character of nation Is made by its
past history. Those who are alive to-
day are the resultants of the stream
of herediiy as modified by the vicissi-
tudes through which the nation has
passed The blood of the nation flows
in the veins of those who survive.
Those who die without descendants

The cotton spinners of the world are
needlessly alarmed lest the ability of
the south to increase her cotton pro.

in a recent article or interview says
that his state alone, ii necessary, could
produce as much cotton as is now be-
ing produced by the entire south. The
same Is true of Mississippi and more
than doubly true of Texas. The labor
supply is absolutely the only difficulty
that prevents the expansion of cotton

limit that might be desired Southern
