TIE SUCCESS OF THE KINDERGARTEN IN
ST. LoUIs-Kindergartep in St. Louis
seem to have found congenial soil. They
have thriven aud multiplied in the four
years since the first was opened by the en-
thusiastic Miss Blow. In 1874, the second
year, two new kindergartens were estab-
lished the Rext year nine more, and the
next fourteen more, or twenty six in all,
in which over twelve hundred young chill
dren are enjoying the developing freedom
of the new system. E EAch of these schools
is in charge of a woman teacher, who has
oversight of from four to six volunteer as
sistants, who are receiving instruction in
kindergarten methods of teaching. The
twenty ak gardens" are connected with
thirteen schools, and hold sessions half in
the forenoon and half in the afternoon.
Tuition costs nothing, but parents of chill
dren who have the means pay dollar a
quarter for the use of the material. The
assistants, after one year of teaching, re-
ceive "practicsl diploma" and after two
years Theoretical diploma" if, in the
opinion of the teachers, they are worthy of
it. One hundred and twenty seven pupils
are now in the training class. The system
is popular among the people, and has good
promise of what it nay achieve anywhere
under equally enthusiastic managers.

IRISH NAIL NEWS.
Dublin Nation, Oct. 81


The railway strike is at an end. On
Monday the secretary of the Great Southern
and Western Railway company wrote to
the daily papers to say that the milesmen
had resumed work over the whole railway.
1t ia understood that none of the demands
made by the strikers have yet been conce.
ded.
The Lord Lieutenant and his family have
gone to Westport on o visit to the Marquis
of Sligo. It is said that they were warmly
received on their arrival, and that the
streets were decorated with flags, banners,
aud triumphal arches in honor of his Ex-
cellency. We have no doubt about the
cheers, the fags, banners. arches, etc., bat
we greatly doubt whether the vast major-
ity of the people are responsible for any of
those things. In Westport, as in most
other Irish towns, there is no disposition
to be rude to person in the position of
the Duke of Marlborough, but there is, at
the same time, q general feeling that to
honor him with enthusiastic demonstr ations
of welcome involves. under present cir
cumstauces, u serious hose national self
respect.
