course of training and see for themselves
the educational systemsand me» hods of
those countries and meet teach+rs and
other educational reformers. Charlottetown
snd Summerside are among the places
named for these manual training centres which are intended for boys in the public schools between the ages of aiue and four
teen years ;and these educational centres
- are to be equipped and maintained for three
years. The hope is expressed that after a year or two an equally valuable course of practical iustruction suitable for girls of the same age be may provided.
The scheme of Sir William was ably outlined by Professor Robertson before the Public School Board of Ottawa last month, and it is upon a revised report of his address which has been forwarded Tae Examiner that this article is based. training, Professor Robertson pointe out, is notafad. It is, instead, the practical application of an educational movement, which has already won an ever- widening place inthe school systems of the foremost countries of Europe as well asin the United States. Manual and practical instruction is recommended as an educational means for developing in- tellectual and moral qualities of high value io children without, special regard to the occupations they are to follow in after life. It is pot technical education. Bat it gives, during the period of general education,the necessary preparation where- by anyone may derive the fuil measure of benefit from technica! education at a later age.
Manual training in the primary schools of London was begun in 1886,and was found to be so thoroughiv useful and ac- ceptable that it was speedily extended. In 1890 woodwork was recognized by the Education Department as a school subject. Now there are about 150 manual train- ing centres and there are some 50,000 boya between the ages of 9 and 14 receiving in- struction in wood-work, iron-work, brass- work o: leather-work in the public schools of the metroplis.
Manual
A eeries of articles called models are made by the boys. Each of these articles is made wholly by the pupil. When it is necessary for the teacher to give practical instruction he gives it on another piece of wood and not on the piece on which the boy is working. The pupils make the object by copyiag direct fromr the model. Later on they make drawings of models from measurements, and make the objects from the drawings. A flocr ares of sbout 600 square feet is rufficient for the accommodation of about 30 pupils, 24x30 would bench
the
with one bench foreach. Aroom feet would be large enough, and provide also for the instructor’s and a group Of pupils to watch what he is doing. Ten classes of thirty pupils each could be passed through sucsharoom i. the week.
Manual training, Professor Robertson contends, develops in children habits of in- dustry and leads them to thoughtfully adjust their acts to desired ends. This of itself ie a great educational value. It brings about the mentsl habit of ap- preciating good work for its own sake ; and is quite different from the education which consists of informing the pupils about facts within a definite area of knaw-

Si.Joho, N. B., Dec 1 | lespate from Zealand last weel i from At | gonisn Lint wees ) c b j i ie the rescue of Mr. Mils and Mr. Spears oj those two places respectively, has been triplicated here by the announcement ; made by Mr. W. H. Bowser, of this
city.
Mr. Bowser is a knight of the crip, be, log ove Of the best knewn commercial travellers in the Maritime Provinces. He i8 @ jovial good-hearted fellow and jastly pop lar wherever he is k: It great ly gratified his mavy frieods when they learned he was takiog Dodd’s Kidney Pills for the kidney trouble from which he is known to be suffering.
Dodd’s Kidney Pills have such a reputa- tion in this province both s a cure for the formerly incurable Bright’s Disease aud Diabetes and all those other forms includ- ed in Rheumatism—Dropsy,Sciatica, Lum- bago, Urinary and Bladder Complaints, Women Weakness and Blood Disorders, that nobody had any doubt of the result. And the result bas justified their faith, for Mr. Bowser has given out the following letter for publication : * Re, Dodd’s Kidney Pills I beg to state that I huve used them for pain in the back and kidney trouble and have found them to be all they are recommended, namely a positive cure for kidney troubles. I be- lieve them to bea eplendid tonic—good enough for me anyhow.”
—-Mr* Dvoley’s opision that the Demo- cratic party in the Uuited States is not fit for power but does well enough in opposi-
with full force to its counterpart the Lib- eral party in Canada. Here’s Dooley’s inimitable way of putting it:
‘* No Hennissey, th’ Dimmycratic party ig not doomed to victory. “Tis a good critic, but a bad actor. ’Tis yreat to stand in the pit and heave eggs at McDuil; but when it gits on the stage it thrips over its sword and furgits what it intinded to say, and fin’lly ends be peggin’ th’ stage manager into the brassdhrum. It niver gits an encore.” m td
And by the look of things there will b2 * no encore” for the Liberal machine in Canada any more than in i878.
—The people of Canada will probably have the pleasure of contributing to the support of the 7,000 Doukhobors which those philastrophists unloaded on Hon, Clifford Sifton last spring. We were- told at the time they came, says the Ot- tawa Citizen, tbat they were weil-to-do, irdustrious people—most of them. They were supported in Winnipeg and else
where until the spring openel up; when they were supposed to putin acrop forthemselves. Instead of
that they have been competing with day labor in the towns and cities of the North westand living from handtomouth. We are nowtold that they never had any means—in one batch 300 ofthem eunly had $200 of assets alitold. Now we are to support them through the winter. Is is rather rough on the people of Canada. We have hoboes of our owo without im- porting them at the Government’s ex- pense.

A Pleasant Surprise,
For those who have thought that ¢at- arrh i3 incurable, and :o wkom the con stint use ofsnuffs and oiutments has been almost unbearable, is to learn of catarrh~ ozone, the aew medicated air treatment for Catarrh, Bronchitis and Asthma. Catarrhozone ‘s a guaranteed cure ior these diseaees and never fails to eure them. It cures by inhalation of medicat- ed air and always reaches the right spot. This is no theory, but the results of sctual experience, and thousands of testimonials back up all we say for our medicine. Price $1.00 at all druggists, or direct by
ledge in order that they may be able to pass examinatious on the subjects included within it, Theaim ef manual training should not be a formal literary education plue manual education, but education of whieh manual training is an integra] and high'y valuable part.

A Cold Rebuff,
To a young man who stood smoking a cigar on a d n town corner the other day there proached the elderly and impertineat reformer of immemorial leg- end.
“How many cigars a day do you smoke?’ asked the licensed meddler in‘
other people’s affairs.
“Three,” replied the youth as patient- ly as he could.
Then the inquisition continued. “How
' much do you pay for them?”
“Ten cents each,” confessed the young man,
“Don’t you know, sir,” continued the sage, “that if you would save that mon- ey by the time you are as old as I am
’
you would owa that big building on the |
corner?”
,’ replied the old man. “Well, I do,” said the young man. C1 go Chronicle.
An Architectural Ace of Clubs, Midford castle, near Bath, England, was built about 200 years ago. The cas- tle is of singular construction, being tri- angular and in the form of the ace of clubs, the angles being rounded off and embattled. A Mr. Roebuck, a great gambler, is said to have built the man- sion with the proceeds of a night’s gam- bling aud by backing the run of luck of the club suit.
