l?e gjve below some interesting
extracts Irom irtoj. uoweirs vaiu
able address:
Children nt school should, learn
how to live and how to make a liv
ing. A community prospers aa its
. - , i. ani .
drones ana taiers decrease, xne
obligations of the public schools to
fit children for the active business
pf life whether that .business be of
the head- or . cf tbe band . Is , now
generally reo ignited and acted upon
by the communl les that are .leading
- In civilisation and . progress ono in
Europe and In America, .
v Examine the branches taught in
the schools' of North ' 'Carolina and
we shall see that the schools do not
profess to prepare for any but liter
ary or purely Intellectual pursuits,
It is a monument to the power of
conservatism that now when a large
majority of the pupils are poor half
of them being the children of a
generation of slaves, whose only in
heritanc will be their education
he public schools have the curricu
lum that was established years ago
in the most exol usi ve pri vate schools,
when only the sons of wealthy men
were educated.
Unless we change our course of
half-educating our children, we
cannot keep pace with those com
munities that put the wnole child to
school, and are training allhisfacul
ties.- "'
What Manual Training Means.
Every boy and girl in our schools
should be taught to work with his
hands, to make someting. The eye
and the hand must be educated, as
well as the intellect. I do not con
template theestablishmentof a trade
school any more than our schools at
present are business colleges, al
though we do teach business forms
and the elements of booL-keeping,
and insurance. But just as tbe
present training in penmanship.
English composition, and arithmetic
prepares pupils for any kind of bus
iness, so this manual training will
prepare them for any kind of manual
occupation. We offer preparation to
the few who will go into business,
and to the still fewer, who will be
professional men. It is all the more
our duty to equip for fhe larger
number, who will have to work with
their hands.
But this manual training is men
tal training as well. Indeed it is as
valuable for the one as for the
other. It trains the eye to see, it
trains the judgment, it trains the
reason, it trains the imagination.
One must see before ho can draw,
one must think before he can make,
one must imagine before he can
create- And so We cannot admit
that one course Is better for the
children of tbe poor and another for
the ohildren of the rioh. Though
all our pupils may not work with
their hands for a living, manual
training affords a valuable mental
discipline that can be attained in no
other way. . .
Itinera were even aaouotwnetuer
it is practicable and advisable to
teach these subjects in the common
schools, to little children, that doubt
has been removed by experience.
Thousands of boys and girls in the
best schools in America are being
taught every day to use scissors,
and needle, pencil, brush, knife and
saws.
An example of what such a course
means in a public school is shown in
the neighboring town of Durham.
This is tbe third year that this de
partment has been in existanoe in
those schools. It is a logical graded
course extending from the first
grade to the tenth and last. It was
a succdss from the start, and the
Durham people now regard it, and
ustly, as the most valuable feature
of their schools. At tbe same time
their schools have been improved in
every other department, though
nothing has helped to popu'arize tbe
schools of Durham as manual train
ing. So now every mm sees that
bis children are reoelving at school
an education that both elevates and
broadens, and at the same time is
worth dollars and cents to its pos
sessor. Durham, is the only town
in North Carolina having suoh a
course, and Durham is the townthat
last year enrolled the largest per
cent of its school population in the
public schools. The people know a
good thing when tbey se it and
they will pa ronize a school that it
pays them to patronize.
From sersona' inspection of the
Durham schools, both before and
after the- introduction of manual
training, I oan corroborate the state
ments of Supt. Toms. This year
they have put carpenter's tools and
wood-working benches into the
school.
The greatest need of the Raleigh
schools now is just such a depart
ment, In this I express the opinion
also of- the school committee, and
national course of manual and indus
trial instruction , would now be
taught in our schoo's, If the condi
tions permitted It- The teachers also
are . eager . to have the different
branches of . this department and
teach them, and we are even now in
troducing this subject into our
Bohoolav Fifteen of our faculty, Jn
oludlng all the primary teachers
and some others, have already taken
a course In clay modeling under the
kindergarten teacher at the Blind
Institution, and .modeling clay has
been ordered and this subject will
be' Immediately taught ' la all: our
primary rooms. These teachers in
tend forthe rest of this term to study
drawing for the purpose of becom
ing able to teach that to their pupils
Several of tbe colored teachers are
giving lessons in sewing at regular
times during the week, and. despite
unfavorable conditions some good
results' are being attained.
But though we have teachers of
such commendable enterprise, we
cannot expect satisfactory results in
manual and industrial education
without a special teacher to super
vise the work as well as to give in
structions
From information kindly given
me by Superintendent Toms, of Dur
L bam. I calculate that a good equip
ment for manual instruction can be
introduced into our schools for $300.
This would include drawing paper,
pencils, colored paper, scissors,
clay models for drawing, trays and
knives, Ac.,. for wood carving and
.wood for material to work upon.
A special teacher could be secured
for six or seven hundred dollars a
year.
u we undertake to teach this de
partment in the Raleigh schools Dr.
J. L. M. Curry has promised to aid
the enterprise with some of the edu
cational funds in charge.
It is incouraging that a body com
posed of men. of affairs like this
chamber of commerce is interested
ia this ques ion. The advantages
of such training must appeal espec
ially to practical men such as, your-
selves. I believe that something-
will come from this interest, With
influence and co-operation of this
chamber I hope a year from now
to have in our schools a full logi
cal and ssieatifl? coarse in manuil
and industrial education.
HIGH ENDORSEMENT
Prom the Late Rev. Thomas H. Pritch
ard. D. D.
Charlotte Observer. .
A i much ha been said and writ
ten in behalf of Dr. Matthez, the em
inent scientific optician, nothing
will have more weight than the fol
lowing valuable endorsement from
one whose name is connected with
every conceivable high thought and
action, the Rey. Dr. Thomas H.
Pritchard, pastor of tbe First Bap
tist church. It hip pens that Dr.
Matthez also enjoys the endorsement
of Rev. Dr. H. Allen Tupper, Jr.,
pastor of Broadway Baptist church,
Louisville, Ky., of which Dr. Pritoh
ard was also pastor. The late Dr.
John A. Broad us, whose memory is
dear to all who knew him, a name
and charaoter honored wherever
known, a personal friend of Dr.
Pritchard, and one of Dr. Matthez's
pa'isnts and endorsers, as atso Rev.
Dr. T. E. Eaton, which but natural
ly warranted Dr. Pritchard in pub
licly endorsing Dr. Matthez on first
coming to Charlotte. He now adds
to that endorsement a statement
based upon a praotical test nf Dr.
Matthez's ability.
What he Says:
It affords ma pleasure to add my
testimony to that of many others
who have tested the skill of Dr.
Loul3 H Matthez, and to say that
having examined the eyes of my
wife, Mrs. T. H. Pritchard, and
fitted glassed to her vision, for the
first time in her life, she finds that
she can use glasses with perfect
satisfaction and pleasure.
Tn011A8 H. PalTOHARD
April 11, 1898. -
The above communication from the
lata Dr Thomas H. Pritchard
speaks volumes for the superior skill
and aoility of Dr. Matthez, Mrs.
Pritchard having had adjustments
made to her eyes by some of the
most noted osullsts in this country.
Dr. Matthez can be consulted at the
Yarbprough House, efflca room 41,

THE PRIMARIES
To be Called Soon Please Don't Call
Them Saturday Night.
The Democratic Ex. ecu t ivp Com
mittee of Raleigh township will be
called to meet .this week for the
purpose of naming a day for holding
the primaries.'
'The Paiss-Visitor asks in the be
ginning that the primaries be held
soma night other than Saturday,
For years the primaries have been
called on Saturday nights, simply
from custom. No reason can he ad
vanced for holding the primaries
the only night; in the week when
business ma1 and clerks are unable
to be absent from their business
Saturday night is no time for a
primary and the Democrats of Ral
eigh should see that, another one is
never held on that day of the week.
" The primaries ought to be called
before the 27th, when the registra
tion begins. .
