"On the assumption that the school
should give to every pupil the ability
to speak we'll, read with facility and
expression, write freely and legibly
spell words within their ordinary vo-
cabulary correctly, and perform with
reasonable dexterity and accuracy the
fundamental operations with num-
bers, our efforts in supervision have
been directed during the year, parti-
cularly to the accomplishment of
these ends. 1t is our belief, no mat

ideas may have effected notifications

as to length of course. Both plans
could readily be worked out together
and adopted at the same time.
"A third school for the mentally de-
fective ought to be organized some-
where in the lower section of the city.

would probably be a suitable location.

What Might Be Done

I'm this connection it is gratifying
to record the appointment of special
committees of the board to investigate
and report on the matter of available
accommodations for manual training
centers in the elementary grades and
on the question of cost of their equip
ment. I have for a long time been
desirous of seeing some definite move
ment in this direction. 1t night be
we'll for the board to seek informa-
ton as to what is being done along
this line in practically all of the edu-
cationally progressive cities of the
country. Courses in sewing and cook
ing for girls and woodworking and
mechanical drawing for boys are the
established manual subjects in the
grammar grades. In all new build
ings accommodations for this work
may readily be provid d. but the fact
that many older buildings do not
contain these accommodations, has led
to the common establishment of man.
ual training centers in which the work
may be conducted.
Il have never been brought to the
point of conviction that a large part
of the elementary school day should
be devoted to manual training I am
not particular whether very much if
any time be devoted to 1t in the first
four or five grades. After ALL the
main function of the school, aside
from the broad purpose of training
up the generations into good citizen
ship is to give pupils the fundamental
things connected with an academic
education; and neither manual train
ing nor any other subject, in the earl
ier years of school when these funda-
mental things are being taught, should
be allowed to creep into the extent of
interfering with their requirement In
the higher grades however, some time
might reasonably be devoted to a few
forms of practical manual work, with
out detriment to other studies. In
fact, they might be substituted for
certain other work not so practical or
essential which Is now being pursued
I believe, for example, that our boys
of the grammar grades might substi-
tute mechanical drawing for freehand
drawing and profit by the exchange.

still entitled to first consideration and
emphasis.
Physical exercise and fresh air
nave received special attention
throughout the year. And, not by any
means least, sincere effort has been
made, in connection with all forms Of
school work, to direct pupils into right
thinking and right conduct and along
lines which make for the upbuilding
of substantial character.
Manual Work 4,
For number of years there has
been considerable local agitation with
reference to the introduction. in con-
nection with our school work of GER
tain forms of practical manual work
for girls. Attention has frequently
been called to the fact that equal
provision for both girls and boys has
not been made in the high school
grades. 1t has been pointed out that
while our boys have had opportunity
Tor ten years past to pursue. through
hlgh school election. various forms Of
useful manual work, our girls have
had no alternative as to high schools
and no opportunity whatever for man
ual work. excepting in the subject of
drawing.
1t must be confessed that we have
been unduly conservative, if, indeed,
not neglectful in this particular. OF
course 1t is well known fact that
lack OF room has been the principal
excuse for delay and this excuse has
been reasonably legitimate. Until the
past year. under the single session
plan of operation, it would have been
impossible to provide these facilities,
but with the inauguration of the
double session plan, opportunity has
coma whereby this manifest need of
our high school girls can be supplied.
The decision of the board, there
fore. to equip quarters for the teach
ing OF the subjects mentioned, in con-
nection with the new course in house
hold economy in the Central high
school, would seem to be wise. The
plan is not entirely in accord with the
recommendation of the superintendent
and high school principal that these
household subjects be taught in a real
home under real conditions, but 1t
doubtless will be considerably more
economical than the plan originally
recommended, even though in certain
particulars it might not be quite as
satisfactory The principal object, at
least will be realized, namely, the
making provision for the pursuit,
along we'll established lines, of certain
forms of practical manual work for
our girls. Upon the completion of a
new high school the equipment may
be transferred to the new building,
or it may be used in connection with
the equally if not more important
work of organizing similar courses in
the grammar grades.

It Is an injustice to the hon. est nccessitous when crime is reward e.l with warm beds and good food. md the honest man who cannot sell his labor Is allowed to suffer. A lazy husband Is given n $1.50 per day job by statute. and generously boarded. A burglar or thief. or murderer. or bigamist, or other criminal is com fortably entertained at public expense.
