RED MEN.

At the coming session Of the Great
Council the adoption tax will be the
main issue, for at the last session those
who opposed this tax succeeded in get
ting il reduced from 81 to so cents, but
these same members Will fight the tax
until they abolish il. IL Is claimed by
many, and perhaps justly. that the
Great Council could and should conduct
it's affairs on "A per capita tax of 80
cents per member as wen az large anu
stronger orders OF similar nature do.
one OF the reasons why IL is thought
10 be unjust Is. that a hustling tribe
may take i'm "a number OF candidates
and for each one they must pay into
the Great Council a tax of 80 cents
while an older and stronger tribe may
rest on its oars and content itself with
paying the per capita tax. Rhode Is
land being a small state the great
chiefs are not called upon TO spend any
very great amount OF money for travel
ing expenses. ard IL would seem as If
they could get along with 90 cents per
capita tax as well az the odd Fellows
and knights of Pythias. When the Past
Sachems association meets March IL
the subject Will be talked over. and il
is quite probable that a sufficient num-
her of members can be secured at that
time TO do away with what seems TO be
a very objectional tax.

DICKENS AND FROEBEL.

Under the title What Charles Dick
ems did for Childhood" Mr.. James L..
Hughes, inspector of schools at Toron-
to. Canada, contributes 20 the Febru-
airy Century highly interesting paper,
illustrated by Albert Sterner, from
which It appears that the great novelist
was 1.-THE first Englishman OF note to
advocate the Kindergarten"
Froebel and Dickens, 1t rs claimed. are
the best interpreters OF Christ's ideals
of childhood. The philosophy of Froe-
bel and the stories of Dickens are in
perfect harmony. The two great reform
ers protested vigorously against the in
reference of intermeddling adults With
the full development of the individual
ity of the child. They recognized tho
divinity i'm each child so fully that they
objected 10 all stamping and mold
ing" processes by which its selfhood
was dwarfed or warped. Other educa-
tors and reformers had considered the
problems OF human evolution from the
standpoint of the adult. and had asked.
What can we do to fit the child for its
work?" Froebel and Dickens asked,
How can we help the child TO grow
by its own self-actlvity?" They Were
the great apostles OF childhood. They
began the struggle for the freedom OF
childhood from the restrictive interfer'
ence OF adulthood.
Dickens is commonly regarded mere
~ as an educational critic This is a
narrow and unfair view.He was grea
critic. He aroused the indignation OF
the civillzed> world against those who
treated childhood inhumanly. and the
hatred OF adul. granny which he
awakened developed a loving sympathy
for children. Rut he could not have SO
clearly exposed the wrong in education
without having Il definite conception of
the right. He was the greatest destruc-
tive educa tional critic. but he was also
a most advanced. positive, constructive
educator. There is no great ideal OF the
new education which il not rev tlled
by Dickens in his novels or his mis-
cellaneous writings.
Dickens was the first Englishman OF
note TO advocate the kindergarten. In
July. 1853. IN published an article of
eleven columns in Household Words"
which would take a leading place IL
compared with the papers read at a
meeting of the International Kinder
garten Union today
