Major George II. Harries has served as a

service on the board has been short, he has
already impressed his strong personality
upon the work of the schools. MajorHarres
is a native OF Wales, but there is nowhere
underline stars and stripes more thoroughly
loyal American than he.
Born in 1860, he spent his boyhood under
the British flag, receiving his education in
the schools OF Wales and learning there the

Mrs. Terrell on Kinderaartens.

The need OF free kindergartens in the Dis
trict is so urgent and so apparent that it
seems almost like reflection upon the
intelligence of the citizens to present argu-
ments in its favor In a republic like ours,
it is of the highest importance that its
future citizens and legislators should re-
ceive the best training it is i'll the power
of the government 10 give. 1t is a duty
we owe the State and a duty we owe the
children to start them on the right track
as early as possible.
Before child is six years OF age impress
sions are made upon his mind which it Is
difficult in late years to efface. Bad
habits OF body and mind are formed, which
only the greatest patience and perseverance
on the part of both teacher and pupil can
correct If children whose home influences
leave nothing to be desired, cannot be
trained too early in the way they should go,
how imperative is it that the little ones
whose lines are cast in unpleasant and cor
rupt places should receive proper instruc-
tion before they become irrevocably tainted
and vitiated by their surroundings.
The child who comes in constant contact
with ignorance and vice at the most i'm
pressionable period of its existence is
cruelty handicapped at the very beginning
OF its journey through life. How much it
would mean to the future welfare OF such
come under the influence of intelligence,
decency and cleanliness, by means of the
kindergarten. In comparison with the
magnitude and extent of the good rem
dered by such instruction and such an OBJ
ject lesson, how paltTy seems the sum
required to establish these great training
schools for the young.
As one makes tour through the alleys
and sections TO which many OF the District
poor are OF necessity reiegated, and sees the
desperate condition under which large num-
ber OF the children are reared, he cannot
help wondering how an Intelligent COM
munity can be so blind 10 its own best in
terests, as to neglect entirely these future
citizens, whose lives can affect it so power
fully for good or evil.
Consider, too, that the majority of the
poor children whose mental, moral and
physical natures are dwarfed by the very
atmosphere which they daily breathe have
no escape from their surroundings and no
opportunity of Improvement, except that of
fered by a charitable, thoughtful public, and
the responsibility resting upon the District
is great and serious indeed
In watching the little ones fairly drink
in the vice and ignorance of their elders,
from whom alone they learn the lessons of
life, the solemn rebuke uttered by Him who
took little children and blessed them in
voluntarily rings In the ear, 'Inasmuch as
ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye
did it not to me-
/ have, however, too much faith in the
charity and wisdom of the public to believe
that the District will defer much longer the
establishment and maintenance of an insti-
tuition from which so many benefits may be
derived as from the free Kindergarten.

HOW A SWALLOW DIED.
I'm paled in Its Flight on the SharI
End Of q w 90 tIar. Xnna

I'm paled In Its Flight on the Sharp
End Of a Weather VaDe.
This is a story of a curious mishap which
befell a swallow near Cod Spring, n. Y,
SAYS the New York World. W. l.. Carver
was standing in a barnyard at that place.
1t was a blustery day and the weather
vane on the barn was kept in constant mo-
tion by the shifting wind. Mr.. Calverlooked
at the vane. He had looked at it twenty
times during the day, but this time it
was different. Evidently birdhadperched
upon it. Mr.. Calver thought it the most
unstable perch possible. But the bird re-
mained there all day
Toward evening the boys on the farm tried
to dislodge the bird by throwing stones at
it. 1t did not 60 away. Next day it was
still there and then an investigation was
made. One of the boys climbed out of the
cupoIa window and, looking up, found the
bird was a swallow that far from being
perched on the vane it was impaled. The
vaue stuck right through the birds breast.
The swallow was, of course, dead. Itsposi-
tion made reaching it an impoSsibility,
so it had to be left where it was. At
last only the skeleton was left. Finally
even that fell to pieces. 1t is thought that
in one OF the sudden downward swoops
which swallows make in flight the bird
did not see the rapidly shifting vane, and
that the latter veered around just in time
to impale the swallow through the breast.
