the present time manual training is
considered of almost as much i'm
portance as any OF the studies which
child takes up in school. A few
years ago it was thought sufficient If
a pupil learned the simple elements of
reading, writing, arithmetic, geogra-
ply and a few other studies. This,
however, did not meet the require
ments of modem education and some
other branch seemed necessary, This
ned was filled by the establishment Of
course in manual training. In all
our city schools today this is taught
and it is being gradually introduced
into our town schools and all those in
training for teachers are being
taught at least the rudiments Of this
branch Of education.

is the sign that God has gone out be-
fore you. Christ says, Move out with
Me, under the shadow of My wings
The crisis moment in many young
