Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue, Pratt Institute, 1893-94 It is now generally recognized that manual training is an important and necessary adjunct to the education Of the schools, and that mind and eye and hand must together be trained in order to secure symmetrical development. Manual training aims at the broadest, most liberal educa tion. While developing and strengthening the physical powers, it also renders more active and acute the intellectual faculties, thus enabling the pupil to acquire with greater readiness and thoroughness, and to use more advantageously, the academic education which here goes hand in hand with the manual. The need of manual training as a developing power is not greater than that of industrial education, - such education and training in the applica tion of knowledge as will give a more complete mastery of life, whether in domestic, business, or professional pursuits.
