KILN CONSOLIDATED HIGH SCHOOL—1918-19.
ed, would measure up to the child who has strung mental inha'.'ii-ance. The child with mar.ual ier.d-t.cics desires io do '.hings with his hands, because lie can do them easily and (|iiickly.
With him construct! veness is large. 11 is minil controls his hand. This mcvrnu'i)!. takes him upward and forward,and he is lifted ouL of the mental gloo'n, and does not have to grope in darkne;;:;, for what hs mind hail to grasp. lie soon learns to experience perception, can see how objects compare, his reason is developed, his judgment grows stronger, and greatest of all helps to him, he begins to have confidence in himself, and self-esteem is firmly established.
The two children,—the one of mental ability, and he of manual training tendencies,—are getting the same thing in mental unfolding, but so differently. Manual training is furnishing a working capital, that will help to make his way in the world. He would never get this mental development if it were forced on him; because a mental strain is wearing, even to those who have strong tendencies in that direction.
We are trying to make good citizens of our boys and girls— let’s give them a chance. Kducate them, set before them ideals and standards which will go to make them American citizens—the best people in the whole round world.
Sixty per cent of the boys and girls are trained in the rural schools, and we must realize that “There is no real education that is not brought abeut by the child’s training in the things that con-cr-rn In his every day duties.”
Bccause his father can not make a gate, bang a door, or repair furniture is no reason why a boy should not be taught to use tools properly.
The American boy, with tho right training, will be self-reliant, self-helpful. If he be taught to play the game fairly, use his eyes to measure with the level, his hand to cut the tree to the square, his work matched and joined perfectly, I think the hearts of our boys will not stray far from RIGHT.
