acterized is certainly being told "where it get off' with re
gard to present-day feminism. Recently Blasco Ibenez,
the Spanish novelist, was quoted as warning Americans re
garding feminine domination, and urging them to re-assert
themselves even to the extent of "treating the women
rough." Cardinal O'Connell of Boston followed with a more
decorous but unmistakable dose of the same medicine, de
manding the men bestir themselves and regain their lost
authority as husbands and fathers. Now comes Dr. Wil
liam J. Hickson, head of Chicago's psychopathic laboratory
and a mental specialist of international repute, declaring:
"Today women have got the drop on the men in this
country. The reforms being conducted are inspired usually
by women. These reforms aim at one thing. They aim to
put on man the same restrictions under which woman has
been functioning for a century.

Th is is dreadful, indeed. "Male ascendancy" is callaps
ing. Women are forcing men to be good in spite of them
selves, and out of this artificial goodness will come all sorts
of evil and corruption. "American pep" is passing or go

are concerned. .Nothing in sight but decadence unless

PRACTICAL MANUAL TRAINING
o
Auto-repairing and the simpler principles of electric
wiring are to be made part of the curriculum in a Cleve
land school located in a district largely devoted to garages
and auto-repair shops. It is believed that boys in that school
district, many of whom need to earn a little money out of
owiuui uuuis, van get ineir jods near tneir homes if they
obtain such training.
This seems like a very practical application of manual
training, and might be adopted elsewhere, and carried out
in otner directions. For instance, the children in the more
ounying districts, where land is cheap and available, could
have more extensive training in gardening than thnsp in
the congested districts. Poultry-raising might take its place
in industrial education. KjSfTUlL I
However in this manual education, by zones, the teach-
cr iii marge must raice not ot the natural tastes and aptitudes
of his pupils and where a child is obviously unsuited to the
"u- "aiiaicr snouia oe arranged. Most of the failures in
life come from people trying to do the wrong thing.
