MANUAL TRAINING.

“MANUAL training is recognized as a fifth branch of study, which, if properly adapted to the teaching of the other four great branches, language, science, history, and mathematics, is destined to become one of the greatest educational factors in correlating all lines of school work. To this end we advocate the training of the bodily powers as well as the mental; not only that the student may have the opportunity to do something better, but that he may thereby think something better.
“The time has come when intelligent hand-work is recognized as contributing to moral and intellectual development as fully as the older plan of studying books.”—James Addicott, San Jose, Cal., quoted in The Child Study Monthly.
