few members OF the family Of John
Brown, OF Harper's Ferry. One OF that
company was my father. At first a
lieutenant in the 96th New York regi-
ment, he had been removed from SER
vice, 1t being feared that his presence
would unduly excite the South and
make the regiment target for Southern
bullets. Hence he was free, with his
little company, to seek the great West.
In their long and toilsome journey

women and children, were exposed to

them for Southern vengeance; and il
was the secret purpose OF the large =

had cost the city of New York 5000, 900.
Would 1t not have been better and
cheaper" enduired the speaker, ito save
this woman. If ii had cost a million, eight
millions would still have been saved"
1t is idle to talk of a lack of funds for
the education of children. 1t has been said
that life is like bridge, across which
numbers of persons are constantly pass
ing. There is hole in the center of the
bridge, and through this hole a number
of persons are as constantly falling. To
save these men and women the govern
ment provides an expensive life-saving
service, with life boats and all the needed
apparatus. 1t seems never to occur 10 It,
that it would be better and safer to re-
pair the hole in the bridge rt
Character building" said the speaker,
lis the object of tho kindergarten. If l
should be asked who need thet kindergar-
ten most, as l often am, I should answer,
as l always do, the children of the very
poor and of the very rich4-thesstwo ex-
tremes in the social scale-for II is these
children who are most neglected at home.
What the American world needs to-day
is more father and less money"
Mrs. Treat showed one of the principles
of the Kindergarten to be the positive sys-
tenn of child-iustruction, instead of the
negative. A constant repetition of a COM
small offenses is most injurious to the
childish mind. There is way OF getting
things done without rudenesS to children
and philanthropy should be carried on
along pleasant lines. Mrs. Treat agreed
with her who said that it was the meanest
thing in the world 10 make goodness un-
attractive. A child can be led to do good
for its own sake
The way to reform the world is to re-
form the children. Fill their minds and
hearts with proper conceptions of truth,
beauty, joy and light. and there will be no
room for falsehood, moral ugliness, sorrow
and darkness. It is cheaper to build
school houses than penitentiaries. The
founder of the kindergarten system had
defined education well when he said, "rhe
object of education is to get the mind OF
the child into the right relationships with
nature, with man, and with God" Teach
him to know the beautiful and he will
shun that which is ugly and depravod.
teach him to love his fellow man and he
will try TO help him. teach him both of
these and he will understand the graft
tude and the love he owes 10 the Giver of
all good things. Education is complete
when one knows the right and wills to 90
it,"
Mrs. Treat told a number Of stories IL
Illustrating the success that kindergarten
methods had attained In dealing with diff
cult problems in the education of children.
The system was one of kindness, sympa-
thy and love, and it was a success. The
infant mind, developed under its teach
ings, became a sound and healthy adult
mind, filled with a perception of the true
and the beautiful, a desire to do good TO
others and appreciation of the mercies of
the Almighty. .
