I he work of canvs sssrs yesterday aided
several hundreds Of dollars to the pro-
ceeds, with marked improv ment in
the outlook for further business. The
lie ID ing advertisers OF the city are now
getting in line with com N md bic allc-
rity, DESTROYS alike OF i ling worthy
cause and securing adva .tageous space
for the presentation Of their notices. The
grand total Of business already secured
far surpasses the most sanguine eXpec'a
tions OF the promoters, while their pres
ent perfect Organization. the division OF
the WORK and the aroused public senti-
ment regarding the enterprise promise
very large add tons.
Regarding the urgency of the demand
for free kindergarten training in this
city, thers is no division of opinion.
The nature of such training arouses at
once the attention and interest of 1hil-
dren, and brings together that class of
little ones whose homes are unattracuve
and whose parents are neglected.. The
bright and beautiful toys with which
they are amused ana instructed, the songs
and drills they are taught and the kind
words Of their teacher, furnish happy
h ours for them which stand out in the
dreafy waste of their lives in marked
contrast to their home experiences.
These neglected children are as bright
as are more favored heirs and are pos
sesssd of manv Of the finest romptinps
Of sentiment Their natural endown ents,
stifed By the uncon. email conditions of
their infant environment, lie dormant,
without nutrlment, and in their places,
as youth advances, base motives become
dominant. In tae kindergarten the child
is surrounded by all of those influences
which tend to arouse his best paris. The
idea of beauty is everywhere made assert
i've. The various instruments with winch
he is anus d become of the greatest in.
| tersst as he learns of the possib lities of
| beauty in their com bination. His drills
| interest him and his songs ara part OF
| his ever day prattle, whether at school
| or at plav. HIS sense of obligation to
his teacher and to his surroundin s soon

| is motto able in his attention to personal
! appearance. his manners AMI his move
ments These i0huencss are pote in
| ch ldren OF tent Ter years, and each day s
| school experience is an event. The young
| mind becomes possessed of pr 10 and
am bition. and there remains lit lie or no
|
m mt of results of degrading surround

The economic side of the question is
| one which appeals as strongly to the
! judgment of the community as the ethi-
cal. By diminution OF ignorance vice
and pauperism taxes are lesseDed and
| police supervision may be reduced, police
| courts abolished and the expense OF in
| generations saved.
| AS the work of the edition progresses
| the rlans of the arrangement IT the sheet
| for the day of its publication are bsin,
gradually digested. While many novel
! ties will be introduced to mark its cdl-
tnrial authorship the manaeins itors

staff OF reporters as any paper he d de
