tile attitude assumed by theologians
toward the Darwlnian doctrine of evo-
luton when It was first promulgated
by this distinguished scientist. Dr.
Kelly has an illustrated article on
Nicaragua and the Mosquito coast,
which is Of especial interest at this
time. as owing 10 the agitation OF the
question OF building ship canal.

interest to Americans. The ARTICLE Is

THE Kindergarten, Natural system

'1n the kindergarten the child's
| spontaneity is respected. He is not
guided too much. He is allowed to
work out, with the material given him,
| the plans. the designs, the problems,
| that arise In his own mind, The kin
dergarten dictates plans, designs, or
| problems to him only SO far as may
| he necessary to help his mind TO rec
| ognize new conceptions. He never has
n lesson In which he is n follower or
| an imitator all the time. The idea that
| he should produce result similar TO
his neighbours is never presented TO
him, He In trained TO depend on his
own mind for the plan or design, and
| for Its execution. Natures plan be-
| fore the child goes TO school Is to let
him find his own problems. His great
est mental power is the ability TO rec
ognize In the material world by which
he is surrounded the new things he
has not seen before and the new prob
lens he does not understand. If he has
the privilege OF growing up among the
beauties of natural life, IL the trees
and flowers, and birds and butterflies,
and bees and crickets, are his COM
panlons, If he has sand and stones and
sticks for his playthings, there are few
of the problems OF science and mate
rial philosophy that do not present
themselves to his mind. He solves
thousands Of them unaided, and brings
those that are too deep for him 10
his mother or father, or most sympa-
thetic older friend. These problems
are not forced upon his mind by any
external agency, they lie all around
his path awaiting recognition by his
mind. The recognition comes under
such conditions exactly at the right
moment when the mind is ready to
deal with the problem. No wonder
that, under such conditions. knowl-
edge Is acquired and mental power de-
fined and developed so rapidly"
