It certainly can be at- tributed to Miss Burnham, that we have always received the best lunches possible for the price. There are on an average thirty-five students who have taken their lunch at the cafeteria every day this year.

It is true that a few boys who take man' ual become carpenters and mechanics of various types. But the prime purpose of manual training is to train the hand to work in connection with the thoughts of the mind. To suppose that every boy who takes this subject is to become a mechanic is as erroneous as to say that every one of the many pupils who study physiology is to become a doctor, or that every student who studies civics will become an attorney. However, the student who has studied physiology will be better able to care for his body years to come after school days are over, than the pupil who did not get any knowl- edge of the human body.
