THE CULTURED MIND, THE SKILLFUL HAND: Manual Training Schools and the Democratization of the Arts and Crafts Movement
The Arts and Crafts philosophy developed among British intellectuals such as Thomas Carlyle and John Ruskin as a reaction to the industrial revolution (Anderson 1926, 70-74). The intellectuals found the answer to their perceived inadequacy of American goods in the Arts and Crafts movement, and as a result, it spread to the United States in the 1880s and 1890s, reaching the height of its popularity between 1900 and the start of World War I (Clark 1972, xii-xm). The outbreak of World War I was the final nail in the coffin of the manual training school movement as factories producing war goods required only skilled hands, with little need for cultured minds.

Learning by Doing: Undergraduates as Employees in Archives
Staffing levels in the archives of large universities are usually inadequate. The ready availability of undergraduates provides opportunities for improving staffing levels at reasonable costs, but employing undergraduates in university archives presents problems as well as possibilities.

Drawing on personnel literature applied to archival settings as well as on recent surveys of undergraduate student employees in archives, this article offers suggestions for the effective use and management of undergraduates as university archives employees.

In the Canadian Breast Expressive-Supportive Therapy (BEST) multisite study of 235 women with advanced breast cancer, survival was unaltered for those receiving SEGT compared with controls (17.9 months and 17.6 months, respectively).4 In California, Spiegel's group enrolled 125 women in their replication study and also failed to identify a survival benefit (SEGT, 30.7 months; controls, 33.3 months).6 Finally, in Melbourne, survival was not significantly prolonged in an RCT of 227 women with advanced breast...

THE ARCHIVIST AS PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR
The vast majority of archivists are employed by public sector organizations, defined as all organizations dependent on public funding. Yet previous discussions of management training for archivists have made little mention of the applicability of the field of public administration to that training. Unlike business administration, public administration teaches management skills for the public and nonprofit sectors, with an emphasis on its political context. This article introduces archivists to the field of public administration, demonstrates how this course of study is appropriate for archivists wanting to improve their management skills, and finally makes the case for archivists becoming more effective public administrators in order to thrive in this era of shrinking public dollars.
