PRACTICAL MANUAL TRAINING.
School Boys Have Received Valuable
Instruction in Many Lines.

The grandstand upon the playground
which the village bought two years AGO
was finished last week by the bows of
the seventh, eighth and ninth grades
OF the school and is a substantial and
Eoud- looking structure, capable of
seating 259 persons. The building of
tins Is believed to be unique in the
line OF manual training structure in
TINS country, being probably the first
one attempted. Director f. +. Parlin
OF the manual training department had
entire charge of the work, which was
suggested by superintendent of
Schools Collins. The BOYS of the high
school drew the plans in every detail
for the building, and about 125 BOYS
of the grades mentioned had the
work Of actual building Superinten-
dent Collins brought the matter up
with the board Of village trustees and
permission was granted to cut enough
ripe pine trees in the upper part of
the playground to furnish the lumber,
and the village paid for saving, and
for the nails and cement only. None
of the boys was required to work over
five hours on the structure, thereby
giving instruction and actual eXueri-
cnce to as MANY boys as possible Less
than three weeks were taken to COM
plete the erection of the granlstand.
The cost to the village was very small.
and the village has a ereditable add
ton to the facilities of the playground.
The stand has seven tiers of seats.

the boys. Mr.. Parlin feels that the
boys have received lessons of much
value in all branches of the work.
They will paint it in the spring.
Practical work by the manual train
ling classes has been the rule since
Mr.. Parlin began with them last Sep
tember and they have primed and
vanished three dozen chairs bought
in Gardner i'll an unfinished condition
built Il large black board for one of
the school rooms; made tool cabinets,
work horses and other apparatus, and
during u Job OF steam fitting in the
school buildings they have gilded all
the pipes. The results have been ex-
tremelv gratifying to the school board
and all who have had knowledge of the
work. The BOYS take more interest in
their work when it is something tanei-
bic and they can see that it amounts
10 something more than simple prac.
tice, and that in addition it Is furnish
