MANUEL TRAINING
Dept HAS, lARGEo
ENRoLlMEAI'-BDYS'
DO GOOD WORK


The manual training department
of the high school has this year an
enrolment of 92, as compared to the
Ienrollmcnt of 7s last year. shows an
increase of IS per cent. During the
| school year OF 1871" the enroll
ment was 62 and during 19l1-12
was 40.
This department is one of the best
managed In the public schools. and
unlike other departments 1t Is self
supporting. This seems hard TO be-
lieve at first. but nevertheless 1t Is
| true.
Each year the manual training
students devote the first two months
or SO to constructing tables. cases
and other articles OF furniture need
ed by the various schools Of the city.
So far this year this department has
made a display case for the sewing
room. book racks for the biological
department and buffet and 40
lockers for the cooking department
| Of the high school, map boards for
the grades, bookshelves for the Park
school, and two dozen drawing
boards for the mechanical drawing
| class of the high school. The sand
tables for the first grades of the city
are rapidly nearing completion.
The amount saved the school board
by the making OF these articles pays
he cost of running the manual train
ing department OF the high school
during the year. The drawing

tile average one 81 each and were
made by the manual training stu

| the students they cost the city $3.50

| xamples of the work done. Each ar
icle made would show saving to
! he school board Of about so per cent.

1.-The manual training department Is
| impractical. But suchis far from
being true Each boy taking man
ual training devotes one hour anu
twenty minutes day TO it or IS hour
days a year. During the second year
Iieces of furniture are turned out
which would be credit to a trades
man. How many men after GO days
apprenticeship could manufacture as
fine furniture as was shown last June
a. the manual training exhibit? The
answer is forthcoming Immediately
very few.
Yet that is what the manual train
Ing boys do Each year there are
one or two of the students who. If
eiyen a little advanced training,
would be capable of teaching. Is IT,
then, after all. impracticable.
Mr.. Jones, who has charge of the
manual training in the high school,
deserves. great credit fer the wonder
|ful progress this department has
uiade since he took hold of 1t.

WHAT WOULD YOU Do7

h. There are many times when one
lnan questions anOther's actions and
motives. Men act differently under
different circumstances. The ques-
ton is, what would you do right now
if you had a severe cold? Could you
do better than to take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy? 1T is highly
recommended by people who have
used it for years and know its value.
Mrs o. e. Sargena. Peru, Ind, says,
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
worth it's weight in gold and | take
pleasure In recommending it." For

federal government or state or mu-
nlcipality would find difficulty in
getting under way.
The unexpected situations created
by war have, in the past. furnished
the stimulus for new inventions and
useful processes. The armies and
navies of today represent the most
efficient fighting forces that the ma
tions can command. No device. no
agency that will contribute to their
power and preparedness, Is willingly
neglected. Health is a prime con-
sideration in this respect. Field Mar
shall Earl Kitchener is reported to
have counseled the English soldiers
to abstain from drinking while
abroad. reminding them that their
duty cannot be done unless health is
preserved. The men were cautioned
to keep constantly on guard against
excesses. The German emperor is
said to have forbidden tile treating
of the soldiers in his armies, The
sale of absinthe. imported by French
soldiers in an earlier war when alco-
hol was used to fight fever, has been
restricted In Paris. -.,..i yuo..i
1t Is of siioht consequence. says
the journal OF the American Medical
association, whether or not these ru-
nors are entirely correct. They rep
resent the current tendencies. which
are uTdeniable by any one who has
watched the recent decisions Of
American naval authorities in the
face Of adverse criticism couched In
the usual phrases concerning person
al liberty. The truth is. that "the
relation of alcohol and fighting has
been squarely met. and the fact ad-
mitted that they are not compatible
A recent editorial writer has express
ed this by saying that temperate
army was something not conceived
of in the old theories Of war; but a
drunkard is today as much out Of
place in an army as he would be on
a battleship. AS every great conflict,
whether of church or state, of labor
or commerce. has brought out some
permanent good. however clouded 1t
may temporarily have been by the
major issues at stake, SO the horrible
strife which the world is now eXper-
iencing may actually be developing
war against intemperance-a per-
manent advantage of no mean pro-
portions.
