PUBLIC EDUCATION ASSOCIATION.

SHE SAYS THE MEMBERS ARE INFLUENCING
THE WHOLE SCHOOL SYSTEM. LEADING
TO LARGER ROOMS. SMALLER
CLASSES AND MORE PLAY.
The Public Education Association held rs regular
weekly meeting yesterday afternoon at No. H9
Flfth-ave and was addressed by Dr. Jennie G Mer-
rill supervisor OF kindergarten Instruction IN 'he
public schools DR.. Merrills subject was "our Pub
lie Kindergartens." and she spoke most enconrhs-
ingiy OF their progress and prospects
The results OF their work cannot be measured
she said by what Is accomplished In Tho classes
themselves Their influence IL being felt all through
the schools The kindergarten stands for the play
spirit for small classes and large rooms. for pleas
ant surroundings and FOR close relations with mo
home and in all these things It's example is leading
TO better things elsewhere.
Large rooms" she continued. ARE particularly
needed in New York. because many OF the children
live In such small quarters that they become
cramped In their movements. Some OF them actu-
ally DO not know how 20 run. Most OF our kinder
gartens have rooms that are nearly all that We
could wish Most OF them have pianos. and many OF
the teachers show great taste and Ingenuity In deco
rating the walls In that visited recently the
decorations constituted a kind OF history OF the
year There autumn leaves. a branch Of the
Christmas tree. the flag that had been used on
Washingon's birthday and many other things sug-
gcStive OF different seasons.
A walk around tho room would be most nstruc-
tive. and | going TO suggest 10 the teacher that
she take her pupils FOR little pilgrimage around Il
and have them stop and worship az the snrines
In decorating rooms for children Or. Merrill thinks
that one should come down a little 10 their level,
and not try be too classic Abiding TO the idea
that beautiful things around them distract the at
enton Of children she quoted Ruskin to the effect
that bare. empty rooms cause inattention. the
childrens minds then like birds with nothing to
perch on
Speaking OF large classes Dr. Merrill said that
tney brought out the brute element in children and
checked the play spirit which. she thinks. should
be prolonged long as possible She would be
sorry. she said II the admission OF children TO the
kindergarten at four years OF age as they may be
under the new charter should lead 10 their begin
ming the study of reading and writing any earlier
than they have heretofore done She supported her
opinion ny quoting Plato and said that on account

LORD MACAULAY'S LAST RIDDLE
Let US look al Il quite closely.
It's a very ugly word
And one that makes shudder
Whenever IL is heard.
II may be very wicked
II must be always sad.
And speaks OF sin and suffering
Enough 10 make rs mad.
They say Il IS compound word.
And that is very true:
And when we decOmDOse Il
,,(Which, OF course were free 10 do)
And sever the first three.
We leave the nine remaining ones
AS sad sad can 10:
For. though il seems 70 make il less.
In fact # makes IL more.
For II takes tie brute creation in,
Which Il left out before
Let's try II We can mend It.
It's possible we may
II only We divide IL
In some new-feshioned way.
Instead OF three and nine. then.
Let's make It four and eight;
You'll say II makes no difference.
At least not very great.
But only see the consequence.
That's all that need be done
To change the note ~ sadness
To unmitigated fun.
II clears off swords and pistols,
Reviewers. bowie-knWes.
And AL the hOrrtd weapons
BY which men take their lives.
II wakens better feelings.
And how jOyfully j. heard
The native notes OF gladness
Compressed IN that one word.
Yes. four and eight. my friend.
Let that be yours and mine,
Though all the hosts OF evil
Rejoice in three and nine.
