 D. D. Whitney. who has had charge of the manual training department of the public school, has done excellent work. as can readily be seen by the many articles turned out by the boys. The work done indicates the necessity of manual training department in the public school and the fitting up of building away from the school room expressly for that purpose, and tho in- troduction of tools and machines. Every child that passes through a public school course should be familiar with tools. and it Is only having a teacher that is wholly interested in the boys can such results be obtained. Mir. Whitney has met with great sue. cess in interesting the boys in the work and his scope of usefulness should be further extended by giving him the necessary machinery and tools.
