TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND MANUALTRAINING.
In the November number of the Can- aijian Magazine, which from time t) time publishes the mostterse aad timely art- educational matters, appears 4 paper on “Technical Elucatioa,” by Bernard McEvoy,which seems to 80 touch
icles oo
the core of the problem that it should be read and re-read by every progressive edu-~ cator. Commenting on this the Canatian
Teacher says that techoical and industrial our education must become. Canada will] never rest satiefied with the purely literary work which our schools are now doing. Canada’s sons must be prepared for Can- aiian lite; and s> eure as Canada’s broad acres, teeming waters, rich mines aod uo-
broken forests called for the skilled far- mer, the ijatelligent fisher, the scien tific miner and the wise lumberaian, just co surely must our schools and colleges pro- videa course of study which will enable our students to become adeptsin the in- dustrial and technical arts. The eyes of all are turned to manual training as the probable gateway through which this re-
form in our educational system may enter.
Mr. McEvoy says:
* Some few years ago I was under the impression that to introduce manual training into our schools wouid tend to turn the ordinary subjects out of doors. But a study of the educational work that
has been done onthis line in France, Germany, Russia and the United States, has convinced me that I was “wrong, and that a judicious
combination of theory and practice may
be helpfully and wively instituted. There is no doubt that school manual training would prepare the scholar in an admir-
able manner for those industries to which they are to give their lives,”
to note that broad- minded men like Mr. McEvoy, who are not teachere, are beginning to see the need of mapual training to broaden the school
It is very pleasing
programme, to give the race greater skill and to lead mento love work. Butitis to be hoped that no one will think ‘euch utilitarian views of tbe question led édu- cators to advocate the introduction of macua! training into the schools. The educator ‘has much stronger reasons for his advocacy, reasons which are educa- tional, not ecouomic nor utilitarian. He values the change wrought in the selfhood ofthe child more than the product of its work or the impr.vement of its manual! skill.
The intellectual and moral advantages of marual training are its commendation. Its most important pro- ducts are che iaovisible, not the visible. Brain making and brain co-ordination are the direct result of manual traming. James L. Hughes in that most imporiant book, Froebel’s Educational Liws for Al] Teachers, cays:
“Every educational process that either communicates knowledge directly to the child or trains the child to acquire know ledge for itself, and stops there, develops the sensor or reeeiving power only. It matters little, so far as complete brain de- velopment is concerned, whet'>r the kuow- ledge is communicated by words or though real things, whether it is received from ihe teacher readymade or gathered by the pupil himself. If school edueation stops at receptivity and reflectior, ai the acquisition of know)edge and the develo - meut of the knowledge-gathering and the reasoning powers, the motor brain remains undeveloped, and the co ordiaation of the sensor and the motor neurogical systems
remain practically uniufluenced by school education.
Such, then, is the real ground for the introduction of manual training into an already overcrowded school curriculum, viz., the evolution of a perfect manhood.
The firm bold which the manual train iog‘idea bas taken on the public mind is voiced by Mr. McEvoy in the following sentence:
“I have no doubt that in a few years a
properly appointed workshop will be an adjunct of most public schools.
strongest re-
The valuable paper is closed by the fo)- lowing paragraph :
“In conclusion it may be said that tech« nical education is certainly one of the means whereby our great resources may be utilized for the common good. It is a means that has been euccessfully used in other countries, and where it has been tried it has never failed to improve trade andto elevate the operative class. It will be as successful in Canada as else» whete if it is handled ia an intelligent and public-spirited manner.”

—A apirited debate took plage in the United States Senate a few daya ago on the Philippine question,—the basis for speech making being a resolution of en- qviry offered by Mr. Pet’igrew (8.

Mr. Pettigrew attacked the administration’s policy in the Philippimes and also made eome startiing charges against those who were supporting the administration. He declared that a systematic effort was being made to prevent accurate information from reaching the people of the United States and that it was a political scheme to further the candidacy of Mr. McKinley for re-nomivation aod re-election.

OBITUARY.
I ce
It is with deep regret we chronicle today the death of Mrs. Patrick Lamb, of Springfield, Lot 67. Mrs. Lamb was in her 30th year. She was a daughter of James McGuigan, Heq., of Hope River, and sister of the Rev. P. D. McGuigan, of Grand River West, who was constantly at her side for a week previous to her death.
Ouly 14 mouthe ago ehe was a gay and hapry bride, receving the congratulations of her many friends who today are called te mourn the loss of a noble christian woman whose short life was speut in doing good. Her funeral took place on Wednes-
day morning to Freetown, and was largely uttended. There were over sixty sleighe, headed by her
kind and respected pastor of her native parish, Rev.J. Al. McDonald,who,notwith- standing the loag drive and cold moroing, was On hand to gaze for the last time on earth on a face he admired in life, and honored in death tor her mapy excellent traits of character.
A Solemn Mass of Requiem was offered up for the happy repose of her soul by her brother, Rev. D. P. McGuigan. There were al20 present to essist at the service Rev. Mgr. Gillis, Rev. J, A. McDonald and Rev. J.J. McDonald, Kinkora, who, at the close of the Mass, delivered an ex- cellent discourse, dwelling on the many good qualities of the deceased, and exhort- ing her friends and the congregation to offer up prayers forthe happy repose of her soul,
The pall-bearers were James McAleer, Patrick Murphy,Louis Haealm, Dr. James Jobnston, William Power and Terence Goodwin. She leavee an infant daughter, a kind husband, an aged father, tive sisters and four brothers to monrn the loss of a devoted wife, an obedient daughter and a kind and thoughtfal sister.
At Campbell’s Cove, onthe 9th inst., Sarah Catherine McCormack, beloved wife of John J Campbell departed this life in the 29:h year of her age, aftera long and wearying iilnees. :
Up tothe time of her last illness the deceased had been of strong and vigorou; constitution and many years of conjugal and domestic felicity seemed tu be in store for her. But the shades of death hover- ed eround invisibie, and in acsordence with the inscru‘able decree her temporal happiness was destined to be of short duration, exchanged, let us hope, for an etervicy of happiness in the other Jif.
Industrious in her babite, of modest and retiring disposition, kind heart and cheer- fulia mind, this amiable person won the lve and eeteem of a large circle of fri+nd- who tincerely grieve over her pre:na‘ure demice.
Much sympathy is felt for the breaved husband, the bappiveee of whose home is thus soearly blasted, as well as for the two little ones so early deprived of a mother’s tender love and care. May she rest in peace, :
