 ableness of their labor unless their work is" well done; 

 unless they realize the vital part played by the products

 to constantly demand a better class of work from 

 themselves and a better wage for their products. 



False ideas about working with the hands will never 

 have an opportunity to take root in the minds of chil- 

 dren, whose education has embodied a proper amount 

 of manual labor, such as the Children's Garden affords, 

 for here they learn what relation the products of 

 their labor have to the welfare and progress of their 

 country, and they will take pride in their ability to 

 share in this welfare and progress.
