PRESIDENT ON MANUAL TRAINING ADDRESS TO SUPERINTENDENTS Seme Stirring Words on the New Educational Movement In an address at the White House to delegates to the Department of Superintendence of the National Educational 1 Association, .President Roosevelt said : among other things : "In the first place I trust that more 1 and more our people will see to it that ' the schools train toward and not away ' from tbe farm and the .workshop. We have spoken 8 great deal about the 3 dignity of labor in this country, but ' we have not acted up to our spoken 1 words, for in our education we have ' to proceed upon the "assumption 3 that the educated man was to be edu- 1 cated away from and net toward labor. ; The great nations of mediaeval times, ' wbo left such marvellous works of 1 architecture and art behind them, were r able to do so because they educated E alike the brain and hand of the craftsman. We, too, in our turn must show " that we understand the law which de- j crees that a people which loses pbysi- ' cal address invariably deteriorates, so J that our people shall understand that ' the good carpenter, the good bMck- 1 smith, the good mechanic, (he good farmer, really do fill thi most impor- 6 tant positions in our land, and that it £ is an evil thing for them and for the nation to have their sons . and daughters forsske the work which if well 1 a id efficiently performed means more ' than auy other work for our people as a whole. One thing that I would like to have you teach your pupils is. that whether I * you call the money gained salary or ' wages, does not make any real differ- I ence, and that if by working hard with ' your hands you get more than if you 1 work with your head only, it does not atone for it to call the smaller amount I ' salary. The term "dignity of labor" j J implies that manual labor is as digni- j ! fied as mental labor, as of course it is. Indeed, the highest kind of labor is j that which makes demands upon the ' qualities of both head and hand, of j ! brain and body. Physical powers, physical address, are necessltier ; they stand on a level with intel* and only below character. Let show that we r> gard the position of 1 the man who works with his hands as ( being ordinarily and in good faith as ( and dignified and as worthy of consideration as that of the business or professional man. We need to ' a certain readjustment of values this country, which must primarily come through the efforts of just men end women here and the men and women like you^throughout this land." j ( Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician offthe Prudential Insurance Company, j in an address before the charities con- 1 j ference of the Oranges in Woman's If Club, East Orange, made a plea for I < reforms in the educational training of ' childreu. He said in part: "It is not a theory, but a fact, that 1 the ' average wage-earner, including * under this term all who are engaged in 1 gainful occupations, is far from being j as efficient a workman and contri butor i to the general welfare as he ought to be. It is the duty of every rational human being in whatever station of < life, to render the most efficient ser- t vice, in return for which he is entitled 1 to the highest'wage earned by hia toil. 1 EFFICIENT LABOR RARE. [ "The prospect [of a State pension in 1 oid age. as a gift, would merely deP < dependency resulting from in- ' efficiency, or a want of thoroughness , in labor, and lead to a further decline 1 in industrial efficiency. Today, ineffi- 8 ciency ot labor is the rule and efficiency * the rare^gception. j "As Bwpanacea for the ills which £ affect us the hope ia held out in in- 8 dus trial education. At the outset it j was elementary education, a thorough t training in the three R's* but by degrees other theories have been devel- 1 oped. We phi our faith to the public schools. "The more thoroughly the subject of

elementary and secondary education is considered in its relation to sufaaeqnant efficiency in labor and life, the more, evident it ia that an effective teaching staff for boys should consist of men. and men only, from the first day of entry into school to the last day. "Tbe co-ordination of apprenticeship with scholarship seems to be the best solution,' >ad this can only be carried out in a special trades school. It ia true that the present day apprenticeship system does not produce tbe proper degree of efficiency, in that the conditions of modern industry are for the most part too strenuous. The better educated we can have the ordinary rank and file in our workafidps, -the better chance we will have of oompeting with . foreign manufacturers and the better opportunities we will have for extending tbe market for American manufactures/' ~ 7 1. L CHDJtCH The fiscal year of the Fir»t M. E. church closed with the last of Febru- [ ary. Reports from all the departments show the church to be in an excelent condition both spiritually and finani daily. Above and beyond the regular running expense, there was raised over . one thousand dollars on improvements ' and for repairs, and the Ladies' Aid Society paid seven hundred dollars ou the debt reducing the mortgage from $27000 to $2000. Extra meetings have been in prot gress since the first of the year under the direction ot the pastor. NotwitihI standing the rough weather they nave I increased in attendance, much. interest has been manifested, many converts made and the church greatly strengthened. The pastor will leaVe for conference next Tuesday. Whether he will be returned to Cape May for another year is uucertain. Mr. Burns has been three years, during whirh time the church has steadily improved, but nojman has s'ayed longer than three in Cape May. _ At the last quarterly conference Mr. Burns was invited to return for the fourth year, but this invitation does not insure him being sent back. Mr. Burns himself does not look for a change. The Sunday ' school elected the following officers at the annual meeting last Monday night : Superintendent, J. C. Kenaman ; assistant superintendent, F. S. Sbeppard : Secretary, Leonard Sandgran; treasMrs. Laura Ogden; librarian, • Zack. Taylor; assistant. Ja*. P. White: organist. Miss Bessie Burns ; assistant, ' Mrs. E. L. Hughts and Melvins Townsend. Geeorge Ogden retires from the superfb tendency of the school after many years of faithful service. A hearty vote of thanks was given him by* the Board for his long, faithful ■ and efficient service in the school. Resolutions, of Respect Whereas we learn of the death of ' "James T. Bailey who was associated with the Cape May City Volunteer 1 Fire Department for many years and I who was always an active and fearless worker in the same, therefore ; be it 1 Resolved, That we. mourn the loss of ' one who was worthy of our respect and . : who always extended the hand of felI lowship to his several associates ; and j be it further Resolved, That we condole with the ] family of the deceased in the dispensa- | tion with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict them* and direct them for consolation to Him who orders|all things for the best and whose chastisements are in kindness and And be it further Resolved.
