THE KINDERGARTEN A BLESSING

The Rev. Mr.. Irvine Addresses the
kindergarten Association on Its
Bearing on Handicapped Children.
The New Haven Kindergarten asso-
citation held it's regular monthly meeting
at 81 Olive street yesterday afternoon.
There was large attendance. Mrs C.
III. Mann presided as chairman. After
the regular business of the meeting had
been conducted the association listened
to an address by Rev. Alexander F. IT.

They live mostly in the pulieus or our
great cities. They are handicapped in
many ways. Let me mention just a
few. First: Parentage. While the SER
want of the poor, one Of the most en-
Couraging things I noticed was the fact
that although the coming into the world
of such children was attended with as
little morality as the coming into being
of some dogs, yet in the hour Of birth
humanity invests every infant with a
halo of divinity. Our warship of liber-
ty has led us into some strange by
paths of criminal license. We notice
CIIlilllldl teIluellCleS Ill man, we put
him through a process Of education;
that fails. We incarcerate him; that
too, fails We turn the light of science
upon him and after long series of
trials and failures, we pronounce him
a degenerate. He is not wholly guilty,
he partly inherited his degeneracy.
Knowing all this we give him absolute
liberty to reproduce his species, and
for his offspring we provide jails, lu-
matte asylums and poorhouses. When
sickly sentimentality ceases to be GRIM
inal we will infuse the warm blood of
common sense into the withered arm of
the law and with a physicians scalpel
in it's energized hand prevent the de-
generate from saddling society and his
posterity with a curse. The problem of
evil is kleidoscopic-this is one turn of
the kaleidoscope Victor Hugo said he
was 1.-THE tadpole of an archangel.'- If
the degenerate is the animalcule of an
archfiend, why not give liberty rest
and stop the species? 1 think it was
Oliver Wendell Holmes who said that
if we desired to help man we must
begin one hundred years before he is
born. One farmer is worth a thousand
reformers.
Second, the home: Here again the
child has no choice. The walls may be
as bare as those of barn: the floors
may be carpetless, and a bundle of rags
may serve as bed, but it is home, just

LOST IDEALS.

n SHORT time ago Mr.. Vardaman, Demo
| \ cratic leader of some repute in Mississippi an
1 nounced his opposition to the education of the
negro and said:
1T is folly, and criminal folly to talk about adj
vancing the negro race by education. The negro
is not permitted advance, and his education simply
spoils good field hand and makes shyster lawyer
or fourth-rate teacher. 1t is simply money thrown
away. Booker Washingtons school is no better than
the others 1t would be all right in a nation OF
negroes but it is useless in the South. There is
field Of usefulness for its graduates. We might as
well look the matter squarey in the face. 1t is futile
to attempt to elevate the negro. The education OF
the race would be dscouraging task under any con-
ditions Under those that exist and will continue to
exist in Mississippi it is simply preposterous."
Prior to the outbreak OF Imperialism and the
craze for "iling niggers in the Philippines for the
purpose of extending commerce, such speech, COM
ing from responsible leader in the South, would
have been greeted by the Republican press with
domination short and sharp. The conscience of the
North would have been appealed to- and Republicans
would have been everywhere aroused to continue the
struggle for enforcing throughout all parts of the
Union the law which gives to the colored man, as
well as to the white man, the right education
and to the freedom to enjoy it
1t has been noted by the New York Post, however,
some stanch Republican papers, even in New Eng
land speak rather commendingly of it. The Post
points to these comments evidence that Republ-
can ideals have been lost by such papers have been
affected by the imperial craze, and they as
willing to make the negro a mere burden bearer in the
South as to reduce to bection the natives of the
Philippines
In summing up review of the changed tone of so
many imperial organs, which still call themselves Re-
publican, the Post says:
I'VE are maintaining absolute government in Cuba
and trying to set it UP in the Philippine Islands.
Whoever does submit and obey is shot just OBJ
streperous negroes shot in the Southern States.
Doubtless our fellow citizens of the South would
say that after the negroes had been taught submit
and behave themselves they might be elevated. But
they demand entire submission first, and no imperial
member of the Republican party, nor any militant
panisonis can consistently denounce them. Our Gov
eminent has adopted the Shotgun policy" abroad and
people that support it estopped from condemning

STREET PAVING SUGGESTIONS.

Z nth the current number OF the Merchants AS
w ISOLATION Review the third anniversary OF the
EE association IS noted but no adequate summary
is given OF the work accomplished for the year. The
neglect was doubtless due the amount OF space
ouired to publish reports dealing with important is
sues OF our municipal government
The leading place in the review is given to the re-
port Of the committee upon the levy for the year,
a subject which has been so fully discussed by the
press as to render further unnecessary, par
tcuarly as the levy has now been made within the
dollar limit recommended by the association.
The discussion OF street paving is continued from
the July number and the experience OF Eastern cities
is cited for our guidance The report is made by l.
NJ King superintendent Of the association, and IS
based upon personal investigation OF street paving IN
the East.
OF our bituminous rock pavements 1t IS said they
are unsatisfactory for three causes-hrst they are
composed OF a natural mixture and therefore OF
uniform quality second they not laid in the best
manner; third they are not kept in repair and when
repairs are made the work is frequently poorly per-
formed 1t is stated that if binder course were laid
over the concrete thus securing firm adhesion be-
tween the foundation and surface coat and the pave
mcnt were rolled with heavy steam rollers imne
diately after being laid and while hot much OF the
waviness and uneven surface would be avoided.
OF the basalt block pavemens it is said they should
with gravel and asphalt or coal tar 1t is main
tanned, however, that we should longer conine
ourselves to the Of buminous rock basalt blocks
on sand and cobbles but make Of asphalt, vitri
fed brick and asphalted wood.
The conclusions, which are the same as those re-
commended by President Dohrmann, follows:
"Frst-Admit asphalt, vitrfed brick and asphalted
wood block pavement under proper specifications
Second-Change the specifications for bituminous
rock paving to require the use OF binder, and
also that the pavements shall be rolled while hot with
steam rollers Third-Require that all business
when repaved with basa blocks shall have the blocks
laid on concrete foundation and shall be grouted
with gravel and asphatc cement. Fourth-Arrange
if possible so that all pavemens shall be guaranteed
for ten years with good surety bonds. Ft-That the
work OF repairing the basalt block and cobbe streets
shall be done Systematically. Sixh-That the city it
self undertake the work of making repairs
trenches in the pavement made by corporations and
plumbers. FinallyDo away with the prevailing idea
that cheapness is the main consideration Good work
costs money but, if properly performed, is always
worth the cost"
