Prof. Utterbaek will demonstrate what Manual Training really is, the position it should occupy and its true function as a factor in education.

The examinations for teachers’ license now includes questions on Physiology and this science must Ik taught in all public schools. These h-ctures are therefore timely and of inestimable value.
