other wise they will lose the best kind
of moral training which comes from
working with worthy ends.
Methods of Teaching.
In studying manual training we find
that there are three methods of teach
ing 1t, first. the reproduction or school
method; second, the drawing method;
third. the making of the object in ma
terial we find that all three methods are
necessary in the best kinds of teaching, |
and should be used throughout the |
year.
In the first method we find the stud
ent getting his ideas from objects
about him.. using them as models In
the second method he draws the object
on paper and then works from that.
The third method is sometimes calieo
the craftsman's method, and is with
out doubt the best. In this he COM
bines all three methods. In 1t he
realizes the need of some object its
best possible use to him and where
he will it. He next considers the
best proportions, decorations and modi-
ficaticns. Here he applies the sense
of art and appreciation of what is
best. After considering all these points
he constructs his object in material.
~ thiS punt We iliShe toHSiuOt thO
fundamental aims of manual training
as they are taken up by the different
grades of the school system
Aim of Manual Training In Primary.
The aim of manual training in the
primary school is to give the child
chance to express his natural activities
in some form or other which VIII Dc
useful to him educationally. At this
age his work and ideas do not go be-
yond the representation stage. Every
things he makes is a representation of
some object which he sees at home or
| in the school. He should be encourage
ed to do all he can along this line at
| this time, for it develops him for some
thing better.
| The idea o feorrelation should not be
disregarded at this stage. In his work
he must be taught the relation of his
work to his other lessons. Let the
work relate to other subjects which he
studies.
The choice of work for each grade
| and consequently of the materials to be
used in it is difficult because there are
so many kinds, but the plan must be
such that can be worked out in ma
terials which are familiar to the
| pupils
Manual framing In Grammar GRADES.
In the grammar grades we find that
the pupils have advanced to such an
lextent that the representation of OBJ
jects will not satisfy them. They wish
to construct something real. something
useful. hence we find that the aims of
manual training in the grammar grades
must be more definite to purpose and
concrete in form. The students ability

given work, where they may express
their ideas in something useful to
them
Manual Training In High School.
When the student reaches the high
school, he has developed to such an
extent along the lines OF skill and
knowledge of wood work that he is

tween the eye. the hand and the mind
and the training in manual training

jects. stimulating and quickening the
interest. why then not give it to the
youth of our city a part of his edu-
cation?
Is 1t practical to add manual train
ing to the present course, is sometimes
asked by our thinking public?
If 1t ranks in it's benefits to the re-
cipient with the study of literature and
sciences 1t should take its place beside
them in the curricula OF our schools.
AS we see that it constitutes the es-
youth We will give it a place in our
educational system
Value Industrfaliy.
In considering manual training in our
present educational system. there is
one problem which comes to demand
more attention than 1t received in the
past, and that is the value of manual
training industrially. This problem has
not received much attention until just
in recent years. 1t is now the opinion
of the public in our educational CEN
tiers and elsewhere that our public
schools are too academic in character,
and that the Industries and Industrial
workers of America are suffering for
want of an education that is more dis
tinctly vocational in character. We do
not mean an education with less cul-
ture. but one decidedly more vocation
al Public education should do as much
toward fitting for our Industries as for
our professions
This industrial movement aims first
of all to develop industrial efficiency
1t aims to produce trained workers fol

Intelligent well as skillful. The
aim is not to produce mere machines
| but more thinkers; not in reference tC
professions, but thinkers industrially
| in which they are to be engaged.
| There is a demand for the industrial
education of those who are to fill the
ranks of the Industrial army. Mr.. Ben
| nett says, This demand is threefold; i

| tinue to take their children from schoo

| There is but one way of solving thi
great problem and that is by adding

education which will train the youth
for more efficient workers
Culture or Appreciation idea.
Another point which We must con-
slider In taking up manual training is
culture or the appreciation idea. From
manual training we ind two results,
which are. first, the ability to do, and
second, the power to appreciate what
others do. Both of these results are
necessary if we gain the true aim of
manual training. The power to do
things is important, but the second
point. that of appreciation, deserves
more thought in the work.
If we accept the statement of Froe-
bel that man only understands thor
ough1y that which he is able to pro-
duee,' we find that it is only through
the mastery of processes. tools, ma
teriais, color and form, laws of con-
struction and harmony. that we can
completely understand any MASTER
piece of art or handicraft- We find
from our own experiences that mastery
is difficult to acquire. Thus. when we
look upon masterpiece we can adj
raire and appreciate it to a greater ex-
tent
The aim in the public schools in ref
not fundamentally to make few great
artists or master-craftsmen, but rather
to educate all pupils to reasonably
high degree of industrial efficiency and
along with this to give power of dis
scrimination and appreciation In the
work of others.
There are many things to take into
, cons liberation when we try TO teach the
youth. One OF the important factors IN
instructing pupils in manual training
is getting the interest and holding It.
In fact, 1t is very necessary that we
gain their interest. One may ask, how
will you do this? 1t is natural for
children to be doing things or trying
| to make something, so we can say 10 a
| certain extent that interest is natural
! in this work But the best method OF
gain the students interest is in giving
them construction work that will be
useful to them.
| After gaining their interest we must
teach them to be skillful. If they

skillful they will take pride in their

The Va1ue of Manual Training
BY HAROLD e. EVERLY
DIRECTOR MANUAL ARTS HAMMOND H. S.

There are many questions regarding
manual training which present them
selves TO practical minds and demand
an answer. Most prominent among
them is: upon what ground is the claim
made for the introduction of manual
farming in our schools?
1t is believed that 1t ranks in impor-
tance with the study of science and
literature in the benefits 1t confers up
on its recipients. BY training the eye
and the hand we educate. it is manual
training that appeals to these in
most persistent manner.
Nothing stimulates and quickens the
intellect more than the use of mechani-
cal tools. The boy who begins to con-
struct things is compelled at once TO
think, deliberate, reason and conclude.
The aims of manual training are for
positive usefulness.
The belief is becoming widely spread
that any system of education that does
not have for it's object in some degree,
the self-sustaining of the recipient,
does not aid him in becoming a pro-
Queer, is really defective. Twenty or
sixty years ago education in the schools
was a sufficient guaranty of liveli-
hood. One could step into business,
commercial OF PROFESSIONAL, anu WI
success. But it is not the case today.
An education obtained from books and
competent instructors does not neces-
sarily aid one in becoming a good bread
winner
Nj. II. Helps Keep Children in school.
Many children dislike books and in
all of our schools we find a greater or
less number of pupils who for some
sufficient cause do not take kindly to
books and study. They may be faith
full but are weak, they may be will
ing, but the cannot accomplish their
tasks. These classes of pupils cover a
large field of the teacher and what be-
comes OF them? AS a general rule they
leave school at an early age and fill
our shops and factories with young
and unskilled labor.
Almost every individual in these
classes may be reached, may be made
Intelligent and appreciative by simply
giving him training and training his
senses and hands into harmonious re-
lations with his mind. Training in the
manual arts will accomplish this very
desirable result, and 1t has seldom fail
ed to deeply interest the Indifferent
and stupid pupil.
Improve Present school Systems.
Manual training will greatly improve
our present system of education.
There is no proposition to give ur
the substantial features of our school
system, but only to add to the course
of study to substitute for things Of
less Importance 1t is the belief OF
many of our thinking men and womer
that present course of study AND
education can be improved greatly
through the manual arts. If it is the
aim of education to assist the recipien

In closing we can say that an impress
ion is rapidly growing in the minds of
the people, that manual training has
come to be one of the essentials of the
education of our youth and any effort
