Only last week we examined the beer
0rewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in its use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that beer of such superior
excellence is a very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases of
deblitation, and they can safely order
this beer, made by the Capital Brewing
Company.
L. H. Dee has in his keeping the
American Journal of Health and can
be seen by anyone.
This beer can be had in bottle or on
draught at the HOFFMAN, corner of
Hotel and Nuuanu streets. A large as
sortment of the very best of American
! and foreign liquors we are pleased &c
Nell you and give you value for the
Nnefit of your health.

THE EXTINCTION OF THE MAORIs.

Judging from a recent report of the
registrar general of New Zealand that
fine martial race. the Maoris, is going
the way of all aborigines whose coun-
try has been colonized by the whites.
They may not become absolutely eX-
tinct for a few more decades, but their
doom is sealed. Among the causes Off
cially assigned for the thinning of their
numbers are the high infantile morta-
lity resulting from improper food, eX-
posture and the want of ordinary care,
constitutions deblitated by past de-
bauchery, the belief in native doctors
and neglect of the sick and the adopt
ion of European habits and costumes,
leading to diseases of the respiratory
organs. Maori NJ. A, Mr.. Ngata, in
addressing a recent conference of his
countrymen, said that drink was pau
perizing them and sapping their vital
ity.-LOndOn Chronicle.

CHILDREN TOO YOUNG.
Not Old Enough to Have Developed
AItrustlc Tendencies.

DR.. Hall spoke yesterday morning on
"The evolution of the social instinct"
and said in substance:
Today I shall speak of the further de-
velopments of the altruistic ideas. To
understand this social instinct, we have
to go back to the earlier forms of life.
There are food fraternities, fraternities
for defense, and from the earliest form
of life the social instinct has been
very strong.
Social instinct is most perfect in the
articulates first. Prof. Forel said that
the ants had the highest form Of social
development. So vast is this field that
numerous investigators have studied 1t
! during their lives. Then the bee state
is a complex communism 1t has its
fixed rules. 1t is older than human So
cieties. There have been attempts made
to prove that there have been revolu-
lions in their states, just as in human
| states.
Nearly all the gregarious animals
have their organizations; the buffalo,
wolves, prairie dogs, pigeons, the
beaver and fish, to a more or less de-
gree.
The early beginnings of human life
have been studied among children.
Young children organize with the ut
most freedom in all directions. There
| seems to be no individuality, but purely
! initiative organization. But at about 10
all this changes and there are certain
individual desires to organize predatory
ideas. They organize robber bands;
| have stealing societies. Later comes
| another type, an altruistic organization,
| that comes at adolescence. There have
been attempts to organize boys into So
cieties for charitable purposes before
Id e. L
or less proved failures. Altruistic ten
denotes are not developed before adol-
escence. In the child first there comes
free imitation, then savagery and then
altruism.
Secret societies have been found to
be liked by girls, while the boys have
predatory organizations. Girls are
rather ahead Of the boys in social or
CARNATIONS also. Girls accept sugges-
ly than boys. These studies show that
the healthy boy and girl do not seem
to take very strongly to religion, to
altruistic organization. before the age
of adolescence.
Here we see the origin of crime.
Criminality is the result of an arrest.
The average boy at the age of adol-
essence begins to leave off the preda-
tory habits and adopts athletic pursuits.
The defective. however, have not the
power to control.
There have been many societies form
ed for young children. The Junior
Christian Endeavor and such organlza-
tions are an attempt to foist altruistic
tendencies upon children who are not
old enough to have developed these ten
! denciea Temperance societies, where
the children have to take pledges; all
| religious societies. where vows are re-
quired of children before altruism de-
velops, are dangerous.
question the idea Of any society with
strong vows for children. There is much
danger in attempting to force virtue
by a pledge, and 1t would be better to
let the children take their own course.

THE LOVE OF TREES.
Children, Says Or. Hodge, Should Be
Taught Their Usefulness.

DR.. Hodge spoke on the general sub
ject of Trees yesterday, and said in
part: One of the great difficulties in
nature study is the separation between
the school and home. I wish every
home that has a garden would plant it
and run it with view to education. I
wish the people who have gardens
would open them for the children. A
number of the families in Worcester
have done this, and children do not
have to go a block from the school to
find the common plants and insects. In
Germany 1 was Disguised with the
formal garden. One of the best ex-
amples of the formal garden is the
botanical garden in Paris. There we
have the example of cut and dried reg
ularity. There was no one there, only
the sparrows, and no one seemed to
care the least about it.
1t has been my plan to take the va
cant lot at the corner of Woodland and
Charlotte streets as an open garden.
We shall have all sorts of plants and
fruit and insects, and invite the teach
ers to bring their pupils there.
In asking the relation of children and
tree culture, the first fact we must
mention is the soil condition, the wash
ing. A glass of water dipped from a
muddy stream shows the whole prob
lem of farming. This land which is
worth everything to the farmer is be-
ing washed off. The idea of child in
struction is to see in every farming
country to have the water clear: to
plant trees and shrubs which will filter
the water and prevent the denudation
of the soil.
The next great idea is this matter of
forest fires, which is costing the coun-
try not less than s30, 900, 900 a year, to
say nothing of the disbursement to
plant forests. The children should be
taught the danger of a stray match OF
a little playflre, and then we should
have forests instead of brushwood
thickets
The tree study in schools has not
satisfied me. We have colored plates OF
trees, bits of bark, pictures of leaves
but no seeds. The idea of culture seems
to be totally absent. Children don't
think of planting the seeds unless they
are told. In asking the children if they
have planted an oak acorn, not one had
done it. The white pine question is be-
coming serious, and to make the chill
dren get the idea of love of a pine tree
and some knowledge of how to have &

We should take the trees that children
like. have been asked to have thu
three chestnut trees, at the corner Of
Woodland and Charlotte street, cut
down, because the boys make an awful
noise People think that when boys
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-07-20

make noises the only thing to be done
is to cut down the trees.
Asking the farmers why they don't
plant the lanes and hillsides, they say
the boys make such nuisance, and for
the same reason we do not have chest
nuts on our streets. l want to know If
Massachusetts civilization is going to
stop at that thought?
Two years ago 1 saved half bushel
of chestnuts, and buried them among
some leaves in the yard, intending to
dig them up in the spring and dis
tribute them among the children in the
schools When I went for them, a num-
be- of mice had left only shells. The
next time 1 put them in a tin box full
of holes, and in the spring every chest
nut had sprouted. Every child was de-
lighted to see these chestnuts grow.
Such things will give that love to child
rem, to make them know how to respect
the tree, and we might have every
bare spot covered with chestnut trees.
We must teach them, too, the observ-
ance of other peoples rights.
In planting seeds we realize the pos
sibilities of getting plants better and
better. In the way of nuts there is not
only the possibility of what we have,
but there are seedlings of much better
and more delicious varieties that the
cnlldren might be taught to cultivate.
The authority on this in Massachusetts
is the Arnold Arboratum and it's presid-
Ing genius, jackson Dawson.
1 don't know whether we could or
ganize junior forestry clubs in the
schools, but I should like to see every
tody organized into forestry protec-
tive association. was glad to hear
Jackson Dawson say that this little
song and dance of Arbor day was not
much good, but If the children were al
lowed to go out once year and plant
several acres of trees, some real value
might result.
The Department of Agriculture leaf
let 6, forestry division, goes into meth
DDS of raising trees from seeds. Forest
tree seeds generally drop down in the
shade and need the shade to grow.
Seeds vary very much. All seeds are not
perfect, and a number Of seeds have
to be planted a short time after falling.
To preserve seeds in good condition,
they should be kept cool and placed in
sand to keep them from drying out. We
should have the children planting all
sorts of seeds, and have them select
seeds from the best trees to be found.
Take elms, naples, oaks, ehestnuts,
birches, treeszthat are easily found.
