Hand vs.. Mind.

Hand vs.. Mind.
The old-time pedagogy overlooked
the fact that we had hands that
wanted to do with concrete things;
forgot that we had hands with nerves
tingliug down to the very f1nger-tips
that were fairly aching to do There
was not boy of us that would not
rather have worked with his hands
than with his mind: to use his hands
rather than his mind, or at least to
use the two together. When we used
to gather down at the old depot to
see the 4:30 express come in, with
bell changing and the escaping steam
Kissing from that great miracle of
mechanical glory, the engineer who
sat in the cab window in his oily
blue blouse was greater than a con-
souering hero Why, with touch of
his hand he could control that m on
ster: and our souls went out with
a mighty longing to be that engi-
neer; to open the throttle and send
that mighty engine spinning down
the long lines of shining rails sixty
miles an hour: to bring II to a halt
at our will: to control 1t. Even the
man who knew how to put together
with his hands the joists and scant-
rlings and rafters into the framework
of the house that was building was
to us a greater man by far than the
pale-faced teacher behind the school
desk who dispensed quotients and
nominatives to us"
Professor Eastman then spoke of
the change that had come during the
later years in the introduction OF
nature study and manual training in
the schools.

Dignity Of Hand Labor.


Dignity Of Hand Labor.
The speaker spoke of the general
undertaking of the dignity of hand
labor in the past. Manual labor bad
been relegated to lower plane. Par
ents had too often wanted the boy Or
the girl to get an education, particu-
larly a higher education that they
might be in a position that would not
require the toll of the hands.
The older education was altogether
formal and mental. The effect of this
was illustrated in the address by a
number of amusing incidents and
anecdotes. The natural self and the
"school-self" of the child were so diff
ferent that he actually lived a dual
life. On the one hand was the life
in the woods and fields with the trees
and clouds and streams and winds,
with the rod and gun, with the kites
and balls; and on the other hand was
the life of the school with its abstract
rules, its mustn'ts and don'ts. These
two selves did not really come to-
gether in consciousness until long
years after. 1t was like the mirage
on prairie that one might some
times see. Far off was village on
the ground, and another village was
hung above it in the air-two vii
lagos. And then as the air conditions
changed. they began slowly to come
together; spire Joined win spire and
tree-top with tree-top, house-top with
house-top, and the two were finally
wonderfully joined in one. Education
was too long an artificial thing with
out a chance to know nature or to
use the hands.
Il saw long ago. said the speaker.
land have often seen since, a beau
tiful picture representing Whittier's
Barefoot Boy. 1t is a glorious picture
of a June day. White clouds are
drifting in the blue sky, the shadows
are on the soft grass, and the leaves
are stirring in the fingers of the wind.
In the foreground of the picture there
is a silver brook, and right in the
center of its waters there stands the
barefoot boy. His trousers are rolled
to his bare knees; his frayed straw
hat is set on the back of his head. and
his face catches the light through the
tree tops. His lips are puckered for
a whistle. his eyes are like two
sparkles from the blue sky. his cheeks
have the color that the west wind
brings, and his spirits are like a VIC
lin string In tune with the music of
the June day. He is as much part
of the scene as the sky and the grass
and the brook. I know that boy. He
and | are old friends.

c. P. Vaughan was grown by
Mr.. Vaughan on his farm over
in the bottom. The clover was
grown by NJ. NJ. Rutherford on
his farm at Rutherford. Mr..
Rutherford has a small patch
of it growing on hill landmere-
ly as an experiment. That it
can be successfully grown here
and will prove a profitable
crop, has been thoroughly dem
onstrated by Mr.. Rutherford,
and it is probable that a con-
siderable acreage of it will be
planted in this section as a
number of other farmers have
become interested in it. 1t is d
splendid hay crop and makes

If you are lame every morn

there must be cause. Often it
IS weak kidneys. To strengthen
the weakened kidneys and avert
more serious troubles, use
Doan's Kidney Pills. You can
