TO EXPLAIN THE KINDERGARTEN
Mrs. Lucretia Treats Address ON the
New Education

Mrs. Lucretia Willard Treat of Grand
Rapids, Mich, viii lecture at I.awton
Memorial Thursday night by request Of
the Kate Baldwin Free Kindergarten. Mrs
Treat is the president of the widely known
Kindergarten Training School of Grand
RAPIDS and has probably done as much as
any hving woman for the spread of infor-
nation concerning the practical character
ana great value of correct ldndergarteu
WORK, She is In close touch with the new
EST thought in the kindergarten world. as
We'll as with the established kindergartens
all over the United States.
MIS- Treat was requested to visit and
lecture IN Savannah in order that every
one might be able to hear from one of its
ablest opponents the true scientific nrinci-
pies on which the plan of kindergarten
education is founded. How children are
taught in the schools colleges and the
universities is we'll known. One of the
things not so well known is that kinder
garten work is not play. but is the foun-
dalton of character, when rightly taught.
DR.. j. l.. NJ. Curry. trustee of the Pea
body Education Fund. said in a recent talk
on education: I'VE have progressed from
the university up to the kindergarten, we
have learned that the finished education
can only be of its best value when founded
on the kindergarten.
Mrs. Treat is a most magnetic talker
who is thoroughly Interested in her life
work, and who presents the most convinc-
ing arguments in favor of the New Edu-
cation" which will probably he the sub
ject of her talk at the Dawton Memorial.
Col. George A. Mercer, president of the
Board of Education. who is deeply inter
ested In the extension of kindergarten
work, will introduce Mrs. Treat, and Mr.
Otis Ashmore. superintendent of the pub
Itch schools, will give a short talk on the
advantages of the Kindergarten as foun-
dation for later education. Every father
and mother is necessarily interested in
learning TO understand their own children
better The lecture will hardly fail 10
interest every class of society In order
that every one who may wish to know of
the great advances being made in modern
systems of education may be present the
lecture will be free and the public Is in
vited by the Kate Baldwin Free Kinder
garten to be present.

From Appleton's Popular Science Monthly
The speed at which the car runs de-
Ponds upon the force that impels the cur
rent through the wire, and which is called
eiectro-motive force. The greater the eloc-
tro-motive force, the higher the velocity.
IL Inc current passes from the wires in
the cable e through each motor sep
arately and thence to the rails r, each
machine Will receive the effect of the
whole electro-motive force of the current;
but If after the current has passed through
the other, then each machine will be
acted upon by only one-half the electro
motive force, and, as can be seen at once
the velocity In the first instance will be
twice as great as in the last. This fact
Is taken advantage of in regulating the
speed of the car, and controlling switches
arranged so as to direct the current
through the motors in this way are desig-
mated as belonging to the series parallel
type, the name being given from the fact
that when the car Is running slow, the
current passes through the two motors in
series-that Is, through one after the
other; but when the motors are running
fast. separate current passes through

Midwinter Exhibition VIII BE Given
Friday, Feb. 23.

Physical Director Blake of the Young
Mems Christian Association is rapidly get
ting his men in training for the gymnas-
tic exhibition which the members of the
gymnasium classes propose giving Fri
day, Feb %.
The exhibition will be devided into two
parts, that given by the Juniors and that
by the Seniors Altogether II is expected
that between 70 and 100 young men and
boys will take part in the exercises. There
are to be many new features which were
not seen in the last exhibition three
months ago. The grand march, or "mys-
tic maze" the dumb-bel and wand drills
will be new features. All of the appa-
ratus work will be known as special
work, and will be done by picked men spe-
cially qualified for the various kinds Of
exercise.
The exhibition is not to be public one
because the gymnasium building can only
accommodate about 800 people. 1t has been
thought best to issue limited number OF

Pass in the Night gave good idea of
the literary currency that passed for val

of taste set in. Librarians throughout the
country reported an increased demand for
books that dealt with love and adventure.
THE Prisoner of Zenda" turned the tide.
Its popularity put the astute theatrical
managers on the scent of an abandoned

last year created a revolution in literary
and dramatic, circles by their successes

of wonderful strength and psychological
interest but they are two women who
plan, who think, who act and take the

D'Artagnan, are creations that appeal TO
the public. whether mirrored in books or
