FOR MANUAL TRAINING

INTERESTING GROUP OF LETTERS IN REPLY TO MR. BRIGGS

''$• _____

SYSTEM WARMLY ENDORSED

None of the Educators Addressed Have Ever Heard of the Work Being Abandoned After Adoption.

Manual training and the prospect of this city some time in the near future establishiag an iastitution of this character in. this city is just at present absorbing much of the attention of the tferre Haute teachers. Mr. Herbert Briggs, principal "of the Fifteenth district school, has .written to a number of cities where this system has been introduced in the schools and the following letters which were received in reply indicate the enthusiasm with which the system has been received:

Cleveland Pnblie Schools,. Office of Superintendent of Instruction—We have manual training in all grades of our schools from the first primary to third high school year inclusive. Altogether about sixty thousand children are reached by manual training work. This work, including all expenses, costs about thirtyfive thousand dollars a year.

There are a few instances of manual training schools being closed, or the work in ]the grades abandoned.

I ehall be glad to give any detail information you may ask regarding our work.

Very truly yours, EDWIN F. MOULTON, Superintendent of Instruction.

Superintendent of Schools,

Springfield, Mass., January 26, 1903. We teach sewing in grades V. VI. VII fcnd IX manual training in grades V3X inclusive cooking in grades VII and VIII and the junior year in the high school. We have a manual training high Bchool in which boys take a four-year course in shop work tilong with their academic work. We also have an evening school of trades of which you will find statistics and a description in our report. Plumbing, patternmaking and tool making are the principal subjects taught in this evening trades school. Yours truly, THOMAS'M. BALLIET, ...

.. Supt. of Schools.

Superintendent of Schools, East Orange, N. J., Jan. 26,

liast Orange, N. J., January 26, 1903. Manual training is taught as a definite branch in our. schools fron^ the fifth to the eighth—the highest—of tlie grammar school, the work consisting of bench work for the boys and sewing for tha girls. In the High school the work becomes optional. It there consists of relief carving, some clay work, "bent iron work, mechanical and architectural drawing, and designing in connection with free-hand drawing.

There is, of course, a certain amount of industrial work from the kindergarten up to the fifth year, but this is not so closely formulated as in the higher grades.

Each of our grammar schools has a room about thirty feet square, which is specially fitted up with benches and tools its a manual training room. The work of the boys is done in this room, the instructor going from building to building.

The total expense in East Orange, including salaries and materials, averages about five thousand, dollars per year— population, 22,000 assessed valuation, $18,000,000.

In New Jersey the state pays one-half of the cost of manual training in any school or system in which the work is to their satisfaction—the cost not to exceed five thousand dollars in any municipality. 1. have never known of the closing or abandoning of a manual training school.

Verv mlv yours, VERNON Iv DA VET.

Superintendent of Public Schools,

Hartford, Conn., January 27, 1903. Woodworking is taiight in the district schools of this city, eight*m number, in (shops thoroughly fitted and equipped, to boys in the eighth and ninth grades. Cooking is taught in the ninth grade to the girls, well equipped kitchens being provided. Sewity* is taught to the girls in the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades. In the High school ad•yanced wooodworking is taught in a shop equipped' with, lathes, etc. There is also a well equipped machine shop, a forging shop, a foundry and a molding room, room for mechanical drawing, etc., for the High school boys. The High school girls have advanced lessons in cooking, which cover the Chemistry of foods, and in sewing'they are taught the use of the "sewing hiiichine, tile designing of costumes, and are given lessons in art nee"flle work. Hartford thinks it is well provided for this sort of work.

It costs $1,500 to equip a woodworking room for grammar school work to accommodate twenty-four bovs: about $500 to equip a kitchen, and about -$11 to outfit a sewing room. Tn the High school the expense is considerable more.'The cost of manual training of all kinds lor eight district schools'per year is not far from $15,000, including salaries, repairs, materials, etc. Tom's truly,

THOMAS S. WEAVER. -Supt. of Schools.

The Boai^d of Education,

'v'Wew Haven, Conn., January 26, 1S03. Our Boardman manual training high school building, as it stands today, including building, lot, furniture And equipment, cost about $170,000. It is ft building for about 600 pupils. I don't know exactly what tip current expenses amount \to, but $85,009 wtjuld be an approximate sum. Of this, ^.boufc $20,000 is for salaries of teachers, of *hom there tare twenty-three in the school. I should

suppose that our material, etc., cost about $15,000. In the lower schools we have cooking and woodwork in the seventh grade1 and sewing and paper wofk in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. The girls in each case have the former and the boys the latter. The salary of our cooking teacher is $550 that of our supervisor of sewing, $750 and that of our supervisor or manual work, that is paper work, $750. For material for this work in the grades, we probably spend $500 or $800 a year. We have no manual work in our classical high school.

I„do not recall ever having heard of the closing of a manual training school.

Any further" information that I can give you"I shall be glad'to furnish you with. Yours, verv truly,

F. 11. BEIDE, Supt. of Schools.

Northampton, Mass., Jan. 26, 1903. We have manual training in our fifth, sixth and seventh grades: almost wholly knife work. No benches, but we hope to get them for the eighth and ninth. Annual expenditure, including teachers, is about $800.

It will be a sad day when manual training work is excluded. Sincerely J. H. CARFREY, sUpt. of Schools.

Superintendent's Office,^

Boston School Committee Boston, Masg., January 27, 1903. Manual training in the shape of sewing, cookery and woodworking is taught in the grammar grades of the schools of this city also in the lower grammar grades, cardboard construction is taught. There is a mechanic arts high "school in this city, fully equipped and crowded with boys. I have never heard of a/ manual training school once started being abandoned.

I send you under another cover copy of the report of the committee on manual training, from which you may learn something of the work which is being done in our schools. Yours, very truly,

EDWIN P. SEAVER,

Superintendent of Public Schools.

Literature of Beauty.

If \ve are to believe the Sunday newspapers. tlife girls of today are not satislleld with being merely good. They must also be beautiiul. Such incidental reading as their grandmothers did was designed to improve their minds and characters e.-says on self-help and moral tales which furnished object lessons in good behavior made the bullc of it. A considerable portion of the very light literature which is served up on Sunday for the girl of the period aims, as it seems, to improve her figure. If it truly reflects her spirit, she has ceased to be a Puritan and is striving to become a Greek. ..

The mass and variety of the literature of physical culture constitutes one of the noticeable phenomena of the time. There seem to be numerous exercises, each of them as good as the other, that are calculated to transform a plain girl into a reasonauiy pretty one There seem to be numerous costumes equally well fitted for exercise work, and among the spirited illustrations wlncli invariably accompany the letter-press the discerning public descries blaomers, knickerbockers, the pajama and the kimona. Thus arrayed the energetic young person takes her fencing or boxing or swimming lesson, and follows it with a siesta and a kneading process, and follows that with a rub-down in cold cream or alcohol, and then' sallies forth 'glowing with" a a a

How Jonathan Edwards Kept Warm. Speaking of wood for fuel just thfnk of the enormous quantities of wood .fuel used in old times to and. his family, ifrarm.' tory of Northampton records that-in the winter of 1740-41 the Rev. Jonathan Edwards was supplied by the town with seventy-five loads, of wood in the year following he had eighty-two loads the

'next

year seventy-eight loads, and the next, ninety-five load?. These loads must have been such als a ryofeelirf^oxen usually hauled, as aTl team work was then done by oxen. The wood was probably hauled sled length and cut up for use in the fireplaces in the wood yard. It is safe to estimate these loads at three-quarters of a cord each. At that rjite it required about sixty cords of wood each year to heat the house of the preatlprM^her.
