peared before the Sunday Evening club
at whiting, using his SUBJECT. The
Education Of An American" The dis
course by this eminent speaker was
the most scholarly and interesting
heard in Whiting for many a day.
Or. Gunsaulus emphasized through
out the beneht of cultivating PERSONAL
ty not individuality, each person being
. cog in the wheel each performing
their distinct duties inst, ad 81 feeling
that one person is the whole wheel IN
himself. His illustration of these two
distinctive types of Americans are
Roosevelt for personality and Wilson
for individuality. His criticism OF the
American was the lack Of the educa-
ton of the hand In this he said the
Germans excel US. We educate the
brains. but without the education or
all three, the brain. the heart and the
hand each one OF which depends the
other. tho half Is lost. He also com
mented on the dexterity of the Japan
ese. He emphasized hand work from
the primary grades up the one
thing the Amer cans need, advocating
the teaching OF manual training and
like SUBJECTS. suggesting that IN many
cases more interest is taken in pedi-
greed live stock than in the education
and raising OF children. although hu-
manlty 70 the Americans is the great
est thing earth
Dr.. Gunsaulus showed By many in
stances how the Germans were trying
for several years to get us by tire
throat. by the exchange Of professor
in the various universities and colleE s,
in the L. S. and German and by ~ s.
erous other means which gave evidence
