Major Duplay rose with a decisive air. "I'm afraid I'm wasting your time," he said, "and my own too. I must say good-afternoon." "Pray, Major Duplay, don't be so abrupt, sir. We've " It was Sloyd who spoke, with an eager gesture as though he would detain the visitor. Harry turned on him with his ugliest haughtiest scowl. "I thought you'd left this to me, Sloyd?" he said.
Major Duplay bowed Mr Sloyd to the door with the understanding that full details of Merrion Lodge were to be furnished in a day or two. Coming back to the hearth-rug he spoke to his niece in French, as was the custom with the pair when they were alone. "And now, dear Mina," said he, "what has made you set your mind on what seems distinctly the least desirable of these houses?"
In 1899 it was discontinued on account of the small appropriation that was made for the maintenance of the institution, making it necessary to curtail expenses. Before the abolition of Sloyd the following course was employed for defectives: Mechanical drawing, Sloyd, athletics, and calisthenics, clay-modelling, and mental arithmetic. Card-board construction takes the place of clay-modelling.
These qualities are not confined to his Sloyd work but extend throughout his character, so that he realises that the work of life all contributes to some definite aim. Statistics collected from any country show that many forms of disease before unknown among the young, are now very prevalent among the children taught in the schools.
If I showed our calculations to Mr Sloyd, who is, I'm sure, willing to be reasonable " "Yes, Mr Iver, I am. I am, I hope, always desirous of er meeting gentlemen half-way; and nothing could give me greater pleasure than to do business with you, Mr Iver." "Unfortunately you seem to have a partner," Iver observed. "No, I've told you the most we can give." He leant back in his chair.
"That's Fairholme," Sloyd went on, as they came to a large and rather new house situated on the skirts of Blentmouth. "Observe the glass those houses cost thousands of pounds grows peaches all the year, they tell me. At this point, Madame Zabriska, we turn and pursue the road by the river."
"Because it's very simple. Sloyd and I have made up our minds exactly what we ought to have." It was the same manner that the Major remembered seeing by the Pool perhaps a trifle less aggressive, but making up for that by an even increased self-confidence. Duplay had thought of his former successful rival as a broken man. He was not that.
We may be five hundred more out of pocket. Never mind that." He pushed away the plans and elevations. "You're empowered to treat, I suppose?" he asked. Sloyd had whispered to him again. "No," said Duplay. "Multiply your twenty-five by two, and we're your men," said Harry. "Multiply it by two? Fifty thousand? Oh, nonsense!" "Twenty out of pocket thirty profit. I call it very reasonable."
A genius has been described as a man capable of taking pains a master of detail. Sloyd is eminently suited for concentrating the attention upon the details of work and for training the Sloyder to be thorough and never content with "making a thing do."
Children then, so trained as the Sloyd system provides, may contribute enormously to the happiness and brightness of the home life.
