CHICAGO. Dec. H.-(Special Core

ragged in and about Chicago two months
ago, sending high tides of enthusiasm
and partisan fervor up and down State
street, Wabash avenue and the lake
front, has entirely abated and left no Wis

ingman has ample opportunity to sit
down quietly and take note of the quail
ity and quantity of the full dinner
pail; the StatiStician has been actively
engaged in figuring out the profits ac-
crulng to those humane aggregatons and
organizations of capital, mistakenly call
ed trusts, which have resulted from the
reelection of President Mckinley, and
everybody is in full enjoyment of the
abundant prosperity and good will that

we were told-would eventually bring
But it is quiet enjoyment. On all those
momentous questions upon which hing
ed the welfare of the American people
during the campaign, no sound would be
heard, if only Mr.. Bryan could stop
talking and writing, which seems most
improbable. However, he is not in Chi
cago, therefore Chicago on all these
questions is certainly very quiet.
The quiet, however, is broken by the
Tribune, at least, which sees in what
it is pleased to term "the surplus bust
ers" and their designs a far greater dan

perialism. In a recent editorial it points

In every large city the two depart
ments of the municipal government that
attract the most discussion, favorable
and unfavorable, are those Of the police
and of the school system. and Chicago is
no exception. Several years ago COM
mission was duly appointed to inquire
fully into the condition of the schools
here, and to ascertain, first. what con-
stitutes an ideal school system, and, Sec
ond, what measures were necessary in
order that Chicago might have that ideal
system. Learned educators from all
parts of the Union appeared before the
commission; great many opinions We're
expressed and discussed; a volumnous
report was written out, and a bill was
prepared in accordance with it for the
legislature to act upon. Alas! how little
gratitude, how little appreciation, there
is among men. The bill was rejected
scornfully and contemptuously; the vol
luminous report is remembered only by
it's authors and their friends; no city has
adopted its suggestions; ''the incident is

THE COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED

presumably numbering one hundred, de-

matter to the very bottom They have
had it under consideration for a year,
and their labors are drawing to a close.

About 1854 it was introduced into Eng
land by Ronges, but has never to this
day been received there with favor The
great propaganda of Froebelism was
the Baroness Marienholtz, and it was
she who first called the attention of the
French people to the kindergarten. This
was in 1855 and it was at once received
with favor by the French, and Michelet
declared that Froebel had SOLVED the
problem of human education The kin

and Austria, but the greatest develop

United States.
