In the hutchof.v building there is a very long

interstices uro so arranged that , ns the fish

the sacks on the fish are absorbed , then they
are taken to thosmullor ponds und gradually
the large ponds uro searetuiu , and then , when
the fish are two or throe inches in length ,
they uro distributed over the waterways of
the state adapted peculiarly for trout. Thu

state bceu more fruitful of realization ,
more economically administered , and that is
more replete with promise lor the future
. than the Nebraska Fish commission.

In the household aliens are called do

To como from men to hooks , wo find

called "Tho Discovery of America by
John Fisko. " Much as this eminent his-
louinn and delightful muster of English
is to ho admired , the public cnnuot ho
brought to acknowledge its indebted
ness to him for work done by Columbus.
A popular periodical is known as "So
and So's Now Monthly Magazine , "
when as u mallor of faut it
is the oldest magazine now
published. An Knglishman whoso
name is Farmer , and who writes like
ono , is responsible for a book which ho
is plonfcd to term "Americanisms , "
made up to n considerable degree of
what might hotter bo c.Ulod "Victorian

All men seem to bo more or loss in
fected by the same disease even so
intelligent n mun'us Mr. Andrew Lang
is one of its victims , if the advertised
title of a paper by htm in a current
muga/.ino is n symptom of the malady.
How Mr. Lung should have the
tomoritv to write a paper called "Homer
by Andrew Luing" is not clear. Ono
might as well expect another essay on
the subject of "Shakespeare by Ignatius
Donnelly. " Surely Mr. Lang cannot
hope to deceive even Chicago in the
mutter of the authorship of Ilomer. Mr.
Eugene Field would ollectnally put a
stop to that. Ho knows the trutli if the
rest of Chicago does not. It is indeed i\

It Is n fact generally conceded that in
the development of younp men nnd women
neither thu mind nor muscle should bo dis
ciplined nt the expense or to tnu Ootrlaiont
of tbo other. Exorclso of ( ho physical
being U absolutely necessary to Insure n
perfectly sound and healthy mental being.
It Is also conceded that oxorclso of a nractl-
cat ; nature , with thought and imrposo In It ,
Is of moro vnluo than that which Is taken
simply for tho.-inkoof recreation , providing
thorolsan earnestness nnd willingness on
the part of the participant suftlciont to
tnako the work really onjoynblo.
With these tacts Ills very easy to under-
Bland ono of the purposes of the Gorman
emperor when ho recently strucK from
the curriculum of tha government schools
( _ ! reek und Litln nnd Introduced In their
stead a vigorous and extended course in
manual traluing The emperor believes In
n system nf education that will picparo
young pcoplo for the stern duties of
tlfo In the gro.it industrial ranks
ns well r.s among tbo mete highly educated ,
The manual training school Idea has been
paining ground not only in Kuropo but In
the United States quite rapidly during the
past tor years , Prominent educators nro
beginning to foci the necessity of teaching
young people to do something rnthor than
to depend for a livelihood ana it useful
place In the world upon learning what other
people have dono. Nebraska has ono of the
most complete manual training schools In this
country. It Is the Ilalsh school nt Lincoln ,
toing a branch of the Weslcynn-unlvoraity ,
and Omaha has maao a beginning in tnis
direction of which there is no reason to fcol
ashamed and which has already furnished
oncouraclng results. The Oinahu manual
training school Is in the basement of tbo
HU'h school building , . It occupies two
lurco rooms and the acnmuds upon the
school are so great Iliac it ought to have
three times thu spuuo and facilities that it
now has.
Tno llrst class In the morning was just
going to work when the reporter visited the
school the other day and it being tbu small
est class of the day there was an excellent
opportunity afforded to observe the Indi
vidual work at every member in the cluss.
Soinu of them were in their first year's
work In that department nnd others were
doing the [ second j oar's work. They came
in eagerly , went oflrect to the drawers nnd
benches , for which they carried keys , took
out their tools and begun work as methodi
cally ns n force of veteran carpenters. Tnoro
were three girls in the class and the reporter
naturally began to wonder what sort of a
tltuiro thov would cut. with a Hummer uad
saw. Bui the girls took hold of the tools
with as touch conQaonco and ease as any of
the boys.
"I snail have to go to the lumber room and
saw a board tha lirst thing , " remarked ono
young miss as sue picked up her saw ;
"would you like to sos mo saw a board ! '
The reporter followed the young carpon-
ross Into the lumber room , thinking , per
haps , that bo won 1.1 bo obliged to call a
mrgeon to set a joint or sow up a ganlnc ;
ivound before the young lady succeeded In
jutting off a board , but ho was very much
mistaken. Sue llrst selected the kind of
Limber she wanted , and then tnuinu H
board from the pile abe snwod off
ho length sue wanted witti rjor-
'cct ease and in a mamiar that
.vould have made < some men calling thorn-
selves carpenters fool ashamed of thorn-
solves.
"Most of the girls lake only the wood
earring , " said the muscular vouug lady ,
"but I thought I would learn carpentering
and wood carving both. I handle a saw bet
ter than I do a piano , but I am getting used
to that , too , and I don't have uoar so much
trouble ns 1 did at first. "
Mr. John \Vigman Is the superintend-
in In addition to being a good teacher Mr.
' .Vigmnn is a practical mechanic , und ho
makes an effort to give nil of tuo work a prac
tical turn.
"Tho first thing wo learn , " said Mr. IVig-
man , "is to saw these notchoj in these
square pieces of board. The puuils must
llrst saw off the niece of timber tbo exact
length , then square it carefully , rule it oft
according to the drawings whicn I have bc-
foio them , and a copy or which they must
maku themselves before ocglnning to cut the
boards , and then they saw these notches.
It is no easy trick to cot thnso notcbci all
cut exact. I bhow thorn how to stand at thu
bench and bow to tuko hold of the various
tools so us to do the beit work with us lutlo
strain us possible on thu hands and
wrists. In the hccond year wo taUo
up moldlnir and pattern making. 1 thin It
that souio of tbu most bonollcial work that
the boys can possibly do here is m the mold
ing and pattern making lino. That develops
tboir constructive powers. Toke gate
building for instance , " and ho turned to n
handsome little gate , all complete , which had
been made by one of the boys , "that Is a line
of work that U of iinmonso vuluo to ahoy. "
The pnmplo room is tilled with pl&coi of
work that buvo been completed by the
pupils. There are morticed blocks and miniature -
aturo stairs , and columns forstoro fronts nnd
ornamental frames of various sorts piled
up ou the shelve * us witnesses of the fact
ttiat thu nuulU who take iho manual training
*
ing work have not been idle. There is no
duparlmont i.i the entire course whuro there
is ho much earnestness as in thu munuul
training department. The bays rush from
their recitation rooms above to the manual
training room us they would rush to their
dinner on a cold winter dav. The girls talto
particular plcusuro in the wood carving
work. Some of the pieces upon which the
class \vas wonting while the reporter was
pro-sent wcro really bolUliful and would bo
n.surprise to pdopio who have not soon the
work. . .
8. " Want wonooil , " said Mr. Wlgaiaa , "U
moro room ami additional tacilltics , I
have ninety pupils In this depart
ment. They aio dlvidpd into four classes ,
but it is not possible for one
man to Instruct so many and secure the bnst
possible results. I am wo\\ \ \ pleased with the
progress tumg matlo , pirtlcularly-iin the
molding and pattern making dqpartment.
These young people nro learning a great

13KI : ; I have noticed with interest and np <
proval certain editorial articles tha . have
appeared In THE HEI : nt intervals during ilu
last few years , and which indlcato tUatsomc
ono connected with this paparhtu an abidlus
interest In manual training.
This oxcitoi my hearty sympat.hr , not because -
cause 1 have or'oxpeet to have any part in
such training , but baoauso somo.ypars ago ,
v/hou taaching school , I wni douply 1m
pressed with tno need of such training , and
later thought and oxparicnoo bava oonQrmod
that Impression.
I want to sot forth so-np raajons. why such
training Is both desirable and nqcessary.
First Along with mental training Jt tend'
to glvo proper conceptions of tho. relation
between mental and physical processes.
Second The two kinds of training nrc
helpful to each other in symmetrical dovoi
oniucnt , and it U corluinly ilu natural w j
of oducatin ? to comblno thoui , or carry then
on tofc-mhor , not only by reason of the health
1 fulness of mind derived from physical ex
ertion , but also by reason of the vnrioty ol
occupation afforded , und the Inculcation ol
practical Ideas.
Third Bucti attention to labor of th (
hands will have tnu effect to glvo it tui
honor it deserves , and to eradicate thi
vicious idea that tbo object of schools 1 $ t <
clovuto people itbovo suoti labor und onabli
them to live by the litoor of othon. It is out
of the most hopeful algas of ma tlmoi thai

fourth , nnd most Important of all Tno
better qualification for mnklnp n living In an
tiunontblo and Independent \\'ay ,
When our educational nystom shall Imvo
