THE DAILY ALASKAN
SKAGWAY ALASKA
At tne regular monthly meeting
of the Skagway Parent Teacher as
sociation, -which was held last Fri
day night, Rev. Padersen -read a pa
per, "Training the H^nd," which
was received with so much Inter
est, that it is reprinted for the
benefit of thoBe who were unable
to be present.
' TRAINING THK HAND
One participating in an athletic
contest is often the envy of inteUt
gent observers, not of necessity be
cause the observed is a winder, but
otteu because lie evidences raniark
able control and intelligence in tlia
manner of his activity. Let one in
itiu untrained audience be placed
among the contestants ana he is
most likely to be a laughing-stock.
Tilt* winnor of the contest may bo
so less because of inherent pow
er and ability than because of skill
ful training and practice.
Some seem to believe ^hat our
children are sent .. to the public
school to lean; bow to "-nn.it> a
living" without manual labor. If
| we can conceive of a people like
ourselves in every way but miinus
hands, we may see the monstrosity
suitaoly illustrating such, bekef. The
brainiest men and women must, af
ter all is Badd, find hands to ex
pi ess their brain-power. The pub
lic school is endeavoring to give
it* patrons a whole-sided training,
not a pear-shaped IiikuI on, u
clethes-pin body.
That English sa^e, John Ruskiu,
said; "We are always in these days
endeavoring to separate intellect
and manual labor; we want one
man to be always thinking, and
another to be always working, and
w? call one a gentleman, and tbe
other an operative; whereas the
workman ought to be thinking, and
the thinker often to be working,
and both should be gentlemen in
the best sense. As it is, we make
both ungentle, the one. envying, the
other despising, his brother; and
the mass of society is made up of
morbid thinkers and miserable
workers."
While many boast of being stu
dents ia "The Uaivereity of Hard
Knocks," the public school is the
great melting-pot, ami is the most
important educational iastitiuou of
the world. There is a sense in
which it may be said, the public
school la the. roots and trees, the
high school the blossom, and the
college and university the ripened
fruit of our educational system; and
this indicates the order of develop
ment. Every university graduate
hat; of course, received that jvhich
the public school has to offer; but
a pitifully small number of public
school graduates have b^*en permit
ted to accept what the university
holds out.
How wise, then, those principals
and teachers who realize this great
importance, and, feeliu^ their obli
gation is their opportunity, strive
to fit as thoroughly as they are
able tnaix pupils for life's needs.
The introduction cf domestic
science and manual training iu our
public school system is comparative
ly recent; but the presence of
each evidences tho teachers' en
deavor to make the utmost of
the'r contact with our children. And
when we realize that in addition to
the public schools the best of the
high schools and tho great uni
versities also have these depart
ments, in which I believe they
have followed the public school,
we become aware our entire educa
tional system knowB of the need
of training the hand.
The boys of the school are espec
ially in mind la this paper. Pos
sibly seme mother may be induced
to prepare a companion paper deal
ing with the application of this
subject to gtrls. ,
By manual tranng we mean In
struction and practice with the
use rf hand tools in making ar
ticles from wood or lumber, leath
er, brass and copper-work and
other material. The meaning, ]
am aware, may be greatly enlarged.
When one comes in contact wilth ft
man who cannot drive a nail, who
cannot saw a board Bquare, who
doe# not know fir lumber from
cottcn-wood, who cannot make a
Bimple article of kitchen con
venience from a good box, who do®
not know how to make a simple

the Second Commandment.
The later architectural plains
for public school . buildings are
including kitchen and workroom.
In tho workroom every student has
his own bench, and a suitable lot
of tools. Ho Is instructed In tho
care of toote, taught designing and
drawing, bow to follow a plan, and
how to lay; out his own work
before a cut is made, as well as
how figure the cost of his con
templated article before ho drives a
naiL And while of necessity hel
makes in course of time joints and
special thlngB he may never have
ocoasion to use, he Is made to use
his train and reasoning powers, and
work progressively. Like the artist
who "mixed his pigments with'
hraims," be knows what he is going
to majce, what it will look like
when It is made, why he males it,
why K is made I1I3 particular way,
and how much It will cost. The
n«-i.tn<ss, finish, and utility of the
article, and. In Alaska especially,
the source of the raw material, evi
dence the brain has worked through
the hand.
One of the first facts counocted
with manual training is, as a
means ot economy. Who will doubt
Americans are in sore need of this
master-art. . A recent newspaper
states: "The first congress of thrilt
ly folks was held at the Panama
Pacific exposition recently, and in
the course of his address to the
delegate* S. W. Strauss. Pres. of
the American Society for Thrift,
jave the American people these
btartlin? facts to think oyer: Ac
cording to government statistics,
98 per cent of us lira from day to
day on our wages. A l°sg of em
ployment would mean pauperism to
all but two per cent of ua. Of 20,
250,000 families, le38 than 6,000,
000 own their own homes, 11,000,
000 being renters. There are 878,
798,325 acres of farm land in the
United States, elightlv over half of
which are improved. Discarded tin
cans, kitchen utensils, etc., gathered
off dump heaps of lar<e cities one
year, produced material valued at
514,000,000. Out of every 100
who d<« 66 leave no property; of
the 34 who <lo, 9 leave moire than
$5,000 worth, the balance less than
$1,300 each. At the age of 65,
97 out of evory 100 of ub, are
partly cr wholly dependent on rela
tives or the public. School chil
dren by planting and cultivating gar
dens In back yards and vacant lots
could add $200,000,000 each year
to the national wealth."
The young man who has ihad
manual training in his school years
does not need to send for a cabinet
maker or carpenter whenever there
is a chair to be repaired or Bhelf
to adjust. Indeed, when he is
preparing his own home, if bis wife
has bean so fortunate as to par
ticipate in the domestic science work
of hur school life, they will get
mor-< pleasure in the making of
simple box-furniture and con
veniences covered with cretonne,
etc., than in the buying of an oak
dining room set twenty years later.
Indeed, their mutual ability prac
ticed prcmptly in the development
of their homo will make the oak
dining-room set possible ten years
sooner.
Prof. Park 6aye In "Educational
Woodworking:" "The importance
of industrial wcrk as a subject
which helps to give definite ideas
of the value of toil and the real
worth of things that are made by
the sweat of the brow cannot be
overestimated. The rich boy works
along with the poor, each endeavor
ing to produce something which
wrtJJ exoress tfungible results. Man
ual training work to be valuable
must be (strenuous. Boys must
be made to plane and 6nw and
sweat. Thoy must pi.'Oduce shav
ings that have the artistic curlcuirl
of the orafts-nian, not meaningless
chips."—"The thought that manual
training when properly taught* and
applied belos to make ifce pupil a
ar"ic of all woodwork and culti
vates his aesthetic taste can
not be overestimated. A piece of
furniture, or any article for that
matter must be made in ouch a
way that its attractions consist in
(1) strength, (2) p'irif.y of outline
and (3) capacity to fill adequately
the functions for vhLch it should
be constructed." j\b anotfter writ
er puts H:, "the $wo fundamental
principles are simplicity tuud adapta
bility to purpose."
Ia "Talka to Teachem.v' tfror.
James ■writes:' "The mosi collossal
improvement 'which racsnt years
have Been in. secondary education
lies in the introduction of manual
i training schools; not because they

and practical for domestic life

shop work engender a habit of
observation. They confer pre
cision,; because, if yo>u are doing a
thing, you must do it definitely
right, or definitely wrong. They
give honesty, for whan yo>u express
yourself by malting things, aad not
by using words, it becomes Impos
sible to dissimulate your vagueness
or Ignorance by ambiguity. They
beget a habit of self-reliance,
they keep the interest and atten

tbg teacher's disciplinary functions
to a minimum."
Wh''e sharing In a modest way
In the educational wort of this
town. I feel it incumbent to con
gratulate Skagway on its prasent
achievement in the two specific de
partments. Though each ia mark
edly incomplete when compared with)
the same departments in towns in
the States; a splendid beginning
has been made; and if future teach
ers take as great interest as the
present, the young men and wo
men who shall graduate hare will
carry with them definite Indus trial
and economic abilities, which will
enable them to get the solid things
of life much sooner.
DON'T TAKE
A CHANCE f:
Yna Should Act In Time
If you suffer from backache;
If vou haye headaches, dizzy
spells;
If the kidney secretions are ir
regular,
Don't delay—likely your kidneys
are sick.
Thousands recommend Doan's
Kidney rills.
Read the statement of ibis grate
ful user.
Mrs. D. Mason, 2715 East C St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "The first
symptom of kidney trouble In my
case was a dull, heavy aching in
my back. My back got lame and
weak and I had severe headaches
and dizzy spells. The kidney se
cretions were too frequent and dis
tressing In passage. I always felt
tired and worn out. I tried a num
ber of medicines, but wasn't bene
fited until I used Doan's Kidney
Pills.. Two boxes entirely removed
tho trouble."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remdey—
ret Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Mason had. Foeter-Mil
