Education BY tho Kindorrnr.ou.

AAAaO MNNOns
A Kindergarten school has been estab.
llshed out on DeSoto street, near Vance.
by Mrs. Beecaer, who is assisted by a
lady from New York, who has had long
experience in tho kindergarten system.
The Kindergarten or "child's garden"
system Of teaching can be learned from
the following abstract from a lecture re.
Gently delivered at New York city BY
Miss Peabody Of Cambridge, Mass:
Froebel's system, said Miss Peabody.
IS a new education in the true sense.
The hsst point in training children is to
understand children. Education is not
merely instruction. The being to be
taught IS a living spirit, with powers 10
be trained. The little child Is an un-
fallen man, with a spirit, but with no
mind. In the kindergarten the mind Ia
to be developed, but the heart is 10 be
Kept. The mother and the teacher are
the child's mind and conscience. This
was the view taken by Froebel and set
forth in his first work, published in 1927,
dis hrst plan was that children should
be educated entirely by their mothers
until the age Of 7 years. But the duty
thus laid upon a mother is more than any
mother can accomplish, and Froebel
soon found that he must take a child
from its mothers arms in order that it
might Eot have numerous things to uu-
learn. Children should be trained with
those ct their own age. Thus they learn
Justice, a sense of fair play, etc. In a
school which | kept several years ago
the children were governed by music and
by affection for me. But when | first
went to Germany | first found what kin
dergartening really was. There vas
much difficulty in introducing the Froe.
bel system in this county, but there
have .een q few excellent k~indergarteps
here. The kindergarten is the bridge
between the home and the public school.
The principle sthat of the ideal nursery.
Children can't be educated except reli1.
iously, and there was much difficulty In
establishing the kindergarten in connec.
ton with public schools. This was suc.
cessiully accomplished 10 St. Louis.
where the public schools are remarkably
good.
Everything in the kindergarten is done
in accordance with the law which de-
ponds upon the connection between two
opposites. Teachers must understand
this law, which develops the power Of
thought on the part of the child, who ia
always pleased With the effect produced.
A child delights to connect two oppo.
sites, as in a box which opens and shuts.
Froebel said children were always atten.
tive. This was his great secret; he
found out what the child was attending
to. The instinct Of motion must be-
grstihed in the kindergarten, and this
can be done by music and by other
means. Thought should be put into
plays and emueements. Children like
to play with dirt and earth, and Froe-
bells idea was that clothes should be sac.
rihced to this desire. They can be
taught to plant, and thus this desire can
De preserved aud applied to proper uses.
The processes of nature indicate the
best means Of cultivating the mind. A
child properly educated by this system
will never be troubled by questions of
materialism.

But few outside of the sheriffs Office

regularly make applications for the posi-.
tion-to get on the regular panel Of the

much sought after. Some men ask for

How to keep 9 house cool in the sum-
mer time is an important thing with
housekeepers. You find that nearly
every house has its windows wide open,
aud into some OF them the sun beams
with all its power. The way to keep a
house cool is for persons to open their
windows between six and seven o'clock
in the morning for ventilation and then
close them, and also the blinds. By
keeping them closed all day it can be
discovered what happiness means; the
thermometer will indicate a cooler at
mosphere by from twenty to thirty de-
grees than that out of doors. II is on
the same principle as a refrigerator. II
the doors are kept tightly closed it will
retain its GOODNESS, bat if they are thrown
open the cold air escapes, the ice melts,
and in a short time the refrigerator has
the same temperature as the air without.
