commonsense geometry and the handling of instruments taught in the 

 various branches of Manual Training will soon prove that everyone 

 can be taught to draw. Drawing is as easy to teach as writing. We 

 are nearing the day when Professor Huxley's remark will be fulfilled : 

 " That to every well-equipped school a Laboratory should be 

 attached, and to each Laboratory a workshop." Great interest is 

 added to the science studies when the pupils are able to make scientific 

 apparatus to illustrate their work. M:\y I, in conclusion, while 

 thanking you for your courteous attention, solicit your earnest interest 

 for, and your best efforts towards, the extension of practical educa- 

 tion, remembering that 



" When eye and hand you deftly train, 

 Firm grows the will and keen the brain." 



So that in course of time all over this sub-continent our schools will 

 be turning out as well equipped products as the schools of Europe or 

 America.
