Our Principal The manipulative skill of trained hands is important. Manual dexterity is of value, as is all muscular sense, which helps us to do our physical work well. And what is of more importance is that the physical, muscular, or manipulative is very necessary to a well bal- anced individual personality. One cannot be thinking, using his mental processes all the time, with no physical work, without detri- mental eifect to himself and others with whom he comes in contact. Work with the hands in clay, wood, metal, and plastics, is ?Zf being prescribed by psychiatrists to help cu re the emotially, mentally, and nervously sick people. Most of the world's useful work, in the performance of the production processes in the industrial world, and in the completimi of the construction concepts in the build g field, is done physically and requires tht manual dexterity and manipulative skill of the craftsman. The mental factor is also of outstanding importance. The thinking process always has to precede the physical work and these men- tal and manual processes always have to be coordinated. It has often been stated that the difference between the ordinary workmen and the highly skilled expert mechanic or craftsman is directly proportioned to his knowledge of the related technical knowledge required in that field of work. The emotional aspect, the way we feel about the work we do, is also very important. This results in the formation of our attitude toward our work, toward our fellow worker, and toward our company or organization. It often conditions our interest or how well we do our work. One's emotional attitude re- sults in high or low ideals regarding the work he does, and the ethics he uses in dealing with those with whom he works. Proper emotional balance is the basis of proper hu- man relations and our ability to get along well with others. Much of the useful creative work of the world which helps to produce the Wealth of mankind is done with hands. F. M. Dannenfelser Principal !
