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- MAAMINEK ST, JOHN NOW, | I, jij i i j | New Brunswick’s Big Seaport Fortified by Dodd’s Kidney Pilis The Banisher of Backache in on tke Bay of Fundy—W.

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.

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.

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.
