NEED AND NEEDS OF KINDERGA RTENS.

NEED AND NEEDS OF KINDERGA RTENS
New-York kindergarten Association by an
hbtion of methods and results which the asso-
citation is giving publicly this week in one of its
schoolrooms. We make mention of this with
especial pleasure, because, while there should be
no need of the existence of such an organization
as the New-York kindergarten Association,
there Is, as a matter of fact, great need of
it. 1t is doing a work that is absolutely
essential to the welfare of the community. That
work ought to be done by the community itself,
officially. But, like many other things that
should thus be done, it is not done or is done
in pitiably imperfect measure. That it is done
at all Is largely, if not wholly, due to the
initiative of this association, and 1t is through
the efforts of the association that the official
work is supplemented and made to some degree
less inadequate to the need.
The association has in charge eighteen kinder
gartens with enrolment of between nine
hundred and thousand children. The support
of thirteen of these is provided by special funds
That of the other five Is precarious and uncer-
tain, though through the devotion and energy
of members of the association it has thus far
been provided. 1t ought to be made certain and
secure And then? We have no doubt that if
adequate support forthcoming the associa-
ton could establish to-day eighteen more kinder
gartens with an enrolment of n thousand more
Children all of whom are now devoid Of such
care. and TO all of whom it would be n veritabe
godsend At the date Of the last Federal census
there were in this city, then constituted. no
less than 12761O children more than one year
and less than five years old, of whom only 36f
were in school. Between the ages of five and
nine years, inclusive, there were 140026. of
whom only S}.Sl3 were In school. Practically,
therefore, the entire mass of children of not
more than five or six years had no schooling
In many cases they were. and are, of course,
cared for at home in the best possible manner
But in the cases of the tens Of thousands of
children Of the Poor sucn lack of schooling
meant and means entire neglect, and often in
territorial or unintentional abuse with conse-
quent lifelong injury TO mind and morals.
The situation to-day is little better than 1t
was then. 1t Is true there are now a few kin
dergartens in the public school system. There
are we believe. enough TO accommodate about
two thousand children, and the children re-
ceived are, with few exceptions, from five to
five and a half years old The myrinds below
the age of five utterly uncared for, and. in
deed the great mass of those VINO have reached
the age of five six remains practically un-
touched II is safe TO estimate that Of the chill
dren Of proper kindergarten age few. If any
more than per cent are in kindergartens And
we are afraid that many as 30 per cent of
them are in need of such care, for their well
being and for the best welfare of the commu
nifty of which they will form the next genera
ton. So long anything like such need Of
kindergartens exists, the needs of the Kinder

MUSEUMS WORK ABROAD.

Among the most earnest advocates
of the Commercial Museums is J.. c..
Monaghan, who recently resigned the
United States consulship at Chemnitz,
Germany, TO engage in business in this
city. In speaking of the charge that
the consular service is being utilized
by the Museums, he yesterday said:
"Any charge against the usefulness
OF the Commercial Museums is mad
ness. No institution in this country, no
one Of our commercial agencies. is as
we'll known as is the organization at
the head of which DR.. Wilson has
worked so hard. Tie charge that the
Museums use United States consuls to
collect ratings, etc, is ridiculous. No
United States consul would consider a
proposition of the kind indicated"

Director Wilson and Others
Are Confident Of a Re-
action in Congress

Philadelphia, May 26.-At the Com
mercial Museums yesterday the senu-
ment prevailed that, despite all oppOsi-
ton, the bill before Congress appropri-
ating 100000 to the foreign samples
department will be passed. DR.. VIII
son returned from Washington, and eX-
pressed himself as well satisfied with
conditions He returned to Washing
ton this morning, and Will continue
carefully to go over the ground. He
and the others from this state who are
working for the appropriation nWash-
ington will call on the friends of the
bill in the Senate and House and ascer-
tain just what the prospects are.
Dr. Wilson said he felt certain that
the antagonism created against the Mu-
seums had been reactionary in its eff
feet, and had induced many members
OF Congress to investigate the subject.
After Investigation these have in every
case been won over to the Museums,
recognizing them as a public
institution, aiding the manu-
facturers in the export trade. The
greater number Of manufacturers who
are doing business with foreign coun-
tries are deluging their representatives
with letters asking Endorsement for the
bill and dispelling erroneous impress
