mentator of Judge PERKINS late speech at Cen
treville, denies that the Governor, as charged by
Judge PERKINS. has had a million of the treasure
OF the State in his pocket the last year, and then

the State must be paid out of moneys provided

the State Treasury. and thereby usurped control

merely outlets for bodily yiyaeity, bnt
become easy intellectual exercises; as
whatever is done with purpose must
quicken the intellect. t.
The history of Kindergartens in this
country can be briefly told. The idea of
Frebel was put in practice by Miss Pea
body of Boston some three or four years
ago. The system was seized upon by
kindred minds in New York. In the
San Francisco Kindergartens, FrmbePs
idea with such notifications as change
of country and nation necessitate, has
been thus far carried out with success
that renders it certain, that playing, set
tomusio, and made to mean something,
is Natures method oftuition for little chill
dren.
The San Francisco Kindergarten has
one great advantage over all kindred in
stitutions, which should not be left unno-
ticed. 1t it is dissideratum to learn to
speak one language ,oeH, it will no doubt
prove subject Of congratulation to pa
rents, that they can place their children
under such influences as will enable them
at the age when the vocal organs are most
plastic, to learn to speak and read equal
ly well the two great modern languages,
French and English.
Yet, perhaps, the most intetesting
thought with kindergartens is the single
fact, that so deeply has the importance Of
early education fixed itself in reflective
minds, that the finest genius Of the Old
World and the New has not disdained to
lavish its fairest gifts of mind, its labor
and its time, on children. When we see
rare scholastic attainments the culture
of true gentleman and the generous enthu-
siasm Of an ardent mind consecrated to
the service of little children, we may
we'll look upon the spectacle with rever-
ential attention. Surely such men as
Pestalozzi and FrGbcl, aud others like
them, have partaken largely of the spirit
of Him who Z" took little children in his
arms and blessed them, saying, " of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven. - Cok
