THE NEBRASKAN-HESPERIAN.
Manual Training-.
"To train tho hand moans 'to train
the powers of tho eye, and to bring the
muscular and nervous systoms Into
working accord. Somo kinds of man
ual training give tho wholo body useful
exercise. All kinds rest tho brain and
relievo tho body after purely Intellect
ual work, while cultivating them In
another fashion and developing the
creative instinct. And they teach di
rectness of purposo, concentration of
effort, accuracy of observation, and
also mental and moral precision and
honesty. Tho teacher, and even the
pupil himself, may think that a book
lesson has been learned whon It has
not beon, or that an idea has been mas
tered, whon It has beon only half
grasped or wholly misunderstood. But
this cannot happen with manual work.
A tangiblo thing is done, and rightly
done, or it is not. A stitched seam Is
straight, a leaf Is correctly drawn, a
carpenter's joint Is true, or it Is not.
Neither deception nor self-doceptlon Is
possible in tho workshop, and the
spirit of accuracy, system, conscien
tiousness, self-reliance and holpful co
operation that it develops is carried
over Into tho other class rooms. More
over, tho workshop may cultivate taste
as well as skill; and, although it does
not teach trades, it celebrates the dig
nity of manual labor, and often de
velops Individual likings and aptitudes
for It. The same Is tho case with the
lessons in "domestic science" given to
girls. They are not taught to bo "pro
fessed" cooks or dressmakers. But
their fingers, eyes and palates are
trained; the importance of cleanliness,
neatness, order and exactness is im
pressed upon them; respect for house
hold work and interest in it are awak
ened; and these great benefits are aug
mented by such Instruction in hygienic
and alimentary laws as could hardly be
made to seem practical and important
without the help of the cooking stove."
Ex.
Isaacstein made a visit to his friend
Blumenberg's store the other day and
was greatly surprised to see upon the
wall a half dozen hand grenades, la
beled: "To be used only In case of
fire." "Mein Gott! Blumenberg, vat
for do you have dose tings arount?"
"Dot's all right," replied Blumenberg,
calmly, "I need dem in mein business."
"But, mein friend, do you know vat
vas in dem?" "No, Isaacstein," came
the reply, "I don't know vat vas in
dem, but I know vat is in dem it's
gasoline." Argonaut.

lesirta(m Sate
Began here on Tuesday morning, January 2nd.
This sale possesses magnetic power for the
shrewd buyer because it's always an event that
presents the most remarkable money-saving op
portunities. This particular sale promises to be
of paramount importance, for the backwardness
of the fall and winter season has left us with a
greater amount of winter merchandise than usual
and makes it necessary for us to convert a tre
mendous amount of goods into cash before the
annual stock-taking. Prodigious price-cutting
is a never-failing means of disposing of great
quantities in a short time, and that is the means
we have employed. The special circulars give
full particulars.
