In truth, the dogs loyalty to his owner

1IANUAL TRAINING WORK
FOR WOMEN TEACHERS

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis, Ore, Aug. ia
manual training course, the first year
Of which is adapted to women as well
as men students is advocated by Pro-
fessor Frank H Shepherd, who has
been recently added to the Industrial
Arts faculty at the oregon Agricul-
tural College This course should be
arranged with a view to fit teachers
for industrial work in rural schools.
Hr. Shepherd claims that there is
heavy demand for women teachers Of
domestic science who can at the same
time conduct the work in manual
training. and that the course should
be arranged to meet these require
ments.
Many rural schools also desire men
teachers who can teach manual train
[ ing and at the same time care for
. the work in agriculture. athletics or
art. This demand should likewise be
responded to in an industrial arts
course. In this course the students
natural adaDtability should be ascer-
tanned during the first year, and all
work succeeding that adapted to his
special inclination and talent. The
entire course should be 50 arranged
that a student may drop out at the
end Of any semester. after the first
year and be prepared to teach.
The work Of this course in physics
should prepare students to understand
the right use and care Of equipment
in homes and other institutions, witt
special regard TO sanitary effects. /
should teach the hows and why's o.
common everyday material and IL
uses. including the water supply
plumbing. sewers. heating. yentila
ton. Refrigeration. gas supply, stove
and lamps.
