The Grades.

Agraded school course is planned
to take the pupil SO far in his
studies, plus the inspiration de-
veloped within him to do something
more; and good test Of its eff
cheney and popularity is the pro-
portion OF pupils in the High
School. Excellence OF work in the
grades tends to make full High
School, because it makes learning
desirable and gives inspiration for
further requirement.
Our grade schools have seven
and one-half years course, with an
enrolment OF about goo, eighteen
per cent Of whom enter the High
School. BY this time the pre-.
academic subjects are finished and
the pupils have reached that period
of development in which they think
independently, work without spec
ial guidance, reason and form
judgments, plan and execute, and
become conscious OF the power
which they can begin to exercise.

kinderssrtsn

The first kindergarten in the
United States was organized in
st. Louis about twenty-five years
ago Today there are enrolled
$50, 900 children with a force of
1000 teachers.
Our kindergarten has enrolled
100 children during the year. The
limit of daily attendance is sixty.
FIVE. After reaching this limit a
waiting list is established, and upon
the withdrawal or dropping out of
pupil the director fills the vac
ancy by admitting the applicant
whose name is first upon such list.
Two teachers are employed, di-
rector and an assistant.
No other part of the public
school system has acquired firmer
hold on the good will and affection
of the people at largo. and none
has done more educational good to
the children and homes than the
kindergarten. Perhaps to one ac-
customed to arbitrary rules, the
freedom Of speech and movement
might seem dangerous disorder.
But to the wise kindergartner it is
only the necessary activity of de-
veloping beings.
The kindergarten sustains very
close relation to the other depart
ments of the school system. AS
concrete example, the testimony of
primary teachers is favorable
One says the work in the first
grade would be lessened one-third
if all the children had previous
kindergarten training. Another
says the classes from the kinder
garten take up reading and tablet
work more readily than children
who come direct from home.

[ Friday morning after the close
Of the High School, Mr.. Shafer de-
tanned the members of the senior
class and talked with them Of their
school work and OF their future en-
deavors, expressing to them his
personal interest and commenda-
ton. When he had concluded his
remarks he was invited to the home
of Mrs. Kendall. There the SEN
iors, through Mr. Dodds, presented
him with a charming gift-a collec-
ton of books. The gift was ac-
cepted in spirit and words that
left no doubt as to the feeling and
appreciation that exist. Interest
in the students and work in their
behalf has been met by willing
ness and response on the part OF
the students that are unsurpassed
and monument to the seniors of
1900. The following books are in
cluded: "Milton's Poetical Works, y
"kipling's Poems" "Idylls Of the
King" by Tennyson, "Bryant's
Poetical Works" "Favorite Poems
selected from English and Ameri-
can authors, and "Hiawatha" by

Tho Word "InV

One might think Newspaper men
have an inylncible grudge against the
proposition "in," since they constantly
seek opportunity to abuse it.
1t is n marvellously flexible word

defined and might be learned easily.
Probably the worse abuse of it is
its substitution for at. One does not

Water rises in an artesian wei be-
cause the source of supply is a porous
rock stratum which lies at n higher
level than the well. Although the diff
ference in height may not be nOticea-
Bile, it is always the case that there is
a rise of ground off to one side, and
the water accumulates in some porous
layer somewhere up the slope. Its
weight cxerts a pressure at the point
where this stratum is tapped, and the
fluid seeks to rise there to the same
Height as it's source.
