PLEADS FOR TRAINING
FOR Pupils SENSES

NEW YORK. March 6.--Charles W.
Eliot. president emeritus of Harvard
University. is the author OF PAM
,phlet which. the general education
board will send out this week calling
for more training for the senses OF
pupils than schools now give. lie
finds that, many. persons reach the
adult stage whose senses have so
lacked training that they are unable
to enjoy the real benefits OF educa-
ton.
MANY highly educated American
ministers, lawyers and teachers have
never received any scientific train
ing, have never used any Instrument
OF precision, possess no manual skill
whatever and cannot sing, draw, or
play any musical instrument" DR..
Eliot writes.
He states that OF the professiO ns.
physicians alone have attained any
degree of precise manual knowledge
and that only In the last twenty Ave
years has the progress of physical
science supplied the medical pro-
tession with wonderful new means
OF diagnosis. This has taught them
accurate observation, an ability lack
ing In other classes Of American pro-
LESSONS. -
Secondary schools as rule pay little
attention to the training OF the senses
and provide small opportunities fol
acquiring any skill OF eye, ear. or hand
or any acquaintance with the accurate
| recording or cautious reasoning which
| modern science prescribes.
THE changes which ought to be made
Immediately In secondary schools Il
| correct the glaring deficiencies arr
chiefly the introduction OF more hand
ear, and eye work. such as drawing
carpentry, turning. music, sewing, RnC
cooking, and the giving of much NOR,
time to the sciences of observation

geography--not political. but geological
and ethnographical geography" h,

These sciences should be taught n
the most concrete manner posslble-thA
Is, In laboratories with ample expert

with his own eyes and hands and in tn,
field through the pupils own observa

Warns Kaiser of Peril
In War With America

COPENHAGEN. March 6.-Herr Maui
man. a member OF the German Reichs-
tag. writing in the Schleswig Heun-
dal, warns Germany OF the consequent
ces of a war with America. He says:
Americas fleet would be placed at
the side of England's. increasing the
possibility of an absolute, effective
blockade. General recruiting would
within six months produce a formidable
American army.
German ships in American harbors
would be lost. Americas daily increas-
ing financial power would mean an in
calculable prolongation of the war, be-
cause America could finance the allies
for IN unlimited period.
I'VE cannot shut our eyes TO the end
less sacrifices a possible war with the
United states demands"
