THE KINDERGARTEN CLUB
Mrs. Marshail's Interesting Paper on Il
Work IN Eastern Cities

Mrs. Marshail's Interesting Paper on the
Work IN Eastern Cities
The Kindergarten club, composed of
teachers and those interested in the
kindergarten system. held its regular
monthly meeting in the Friday Morning
club rooms yesterday afternoon, with
a good attendance.
The speaker of the afternoon was Mrs
Luna Marshall, teacher of the free kin
dergarten in Sonoratown, who has re-
Gently returned from a visit to New
York, Boston and Chicago. Mrs. Mar
shall is a pleasant, animated speaker
and gave a graphic and interesting de
scription of her observations of the
kindergarten work elsewhere. The
keynote of the training in Chicago and
Boston for the development of the child,
she said, is individuality. She described
her visit to the model kindergarten
school conducted at Hull House and its
perfect appointments for the instruc-
ton Of children. Chicago, however, has
only forty-nine kindergartens connected
with its public schools, while Los Ange-
les has twenty-three, which is a very
much larger number in proportion to
population The methods in use in our
city, the speaker thought, compare very
favorably with those of Chicago.
In the Elizabeth Peabody kindergar-
ten settlement house of Boston, Mrs.
Marshall found as its guests many edu-
Gated people and professors interested in
the work. and as great care is taken with
the children in cultivating refined tastes
as with the children of the rich, though
the school Is conducted in a neighbor-
hood of Russian Jews. The work with
the blind children in the Perkins ineti-
tute was especially interesting and the
little ones are as apt in the work, as also
in Slyod, as are those who have their
sight.
In New York this enthusiastic kim
dergartner met her greatest disappoint-
ment. The rooms are dark, small, i'll
ventilated and over-crowded, while the
teachers looked worn out and weary
This great city has only nine kindergar-
tens connected with its public schools.
There is no enthusiasm on the subject
In the boards of education and much
sentiment against it, the people falling
to grasp the kindergarten idea as they
do in the west. The speaker noted one
especial trait in the schools of the east
erh cities. and that was the entire alb
sence of enthusiasm in the games and
songs. The children went through them
In mechanical, passive manner and on

ESCONDIDO, March 4.-The new irri-

lied by electng Crawford president and
Dick Beavers secretary.
Dame Rumor has 1t that the Escondi-
do mines have been sold for 100000. The
report has not as yet been substantiated.
1t is also rumored that Colorado miners
are making arrangements to put in a
stamp mill and open up the Fred Rob-
erts mine. At any rate few weeks will
develop surprising activity in mining
operations here.
The drill and tools have been finally
raised from the oil we'll after long de-
lay and much expenditure of time and
money. Drilling has once more begun
and the company have strong hopes that
they will soon strike oil, as already
small deposits have been passed through
so that oil is taken off the water as il
is pumped out of the we'll. The success
of this enterprise means a great deal
for Escondido, which, taken together
with our mining interests, will certain
ly help to tide us over the dull period
just preceding the arrival of that wave
of prosperity" promised
A first-class gymnasium is the latest
addition to our business enterprises.
c. Ketzenburger has fitted up rooms and
put in suitable apparatus and is pre-
pared to furnish conveniences for our
young men to practice anything from
football to head punch.
An effort is being made to have the
railroad company move their depot
nearer the center of business. 1t is nearly
half a mile from the nearest business
house and situated ON low ground, so
that during the rainy season 1t is sur
rounded by water so that it is impossi-
BILE for the travelling public to get to
the train on foot without wading. Such
state of affairs is a disgrace to both
the town and the railroad.

1t is to the credit of the people of

more notable in those of moderate cost

Indians Is also of great interest. Col In
Imam declares that he never was present
at any transaction with the Indians. in all
his years Of service on the plains. when
the savage was not the victim Of the
grossest cheating. He further says that
the hostility OF the savages in nearly every
case can be traced to injustice done them.
One case in point he gives as follows:
'In 1867 congress appointed a commits
sion to treat with the Cheyennes. Kiowas
and Arapahoes. appropriating $4,000 for
the expenses of the commission. 1t met at
Medicine lodge in August of the year men,

A sample ct the soldiers heartlessness
in trade is given:
Il wei remember when the small copper

soldiers Of q frontier garrison where was
stationed at the time pamed them off upon
the simple savages as two dollar and a half
gold pieces, which they resembled as long
as they retained their brightness, and with
which the Indians were familiar, as many

considerable length, and quotes what an
