1t is well that Alma Eldredge was
not elected by the Republicans a year
ago. he would have had serious trou-
bic with Lands. who regards Roberts
late opponent in that campaign as "a
DANTE who killed his man" This as
serti0n Mr.. Eldredge denounces as "a
base falsehood" and says that Lands
knew he lied when he said it," Never

SOCIETY NOTES.

The programme at yesterdays meet
ing of the Ladies Literary club was
one Of unusual excellence. 1t was fur
nished by Professor HOwells of the
university, who lectured on The Ar
thuriau Legends" 1t was expected
that DIT T B. Beatty would speak of
the sanitary conditions of the city, but
owing to his unavoidable absence that
part of the programme was postponed.
At the business meeting which fol-
lowed the members discussed the adj
visibility of reorganizing the National
Federation of Women's clubs This sub
ject is now receiving attention from
the WUmen's clubs throughout the
country. as il is claimed by the ex-
ecUtive board that the National Fede-
ration has grown to such proportions
that il has become Unwieldy, and that
reorganization is necessary. The mat
ter was discussed at length by the club
members present at yesterdays meet
ing, and when a vote was taken it was
found that all members favored the
proposed movement.

Songs and Games.

In the plays Of children Froebel dis
covers the heart leaves of the fu-
ture." The child is most truly himself
when he plays. All his energies are
employed, frequently his special pow
ers and tendencies are expressed in
this free manifestation Of self. An
English writer on this subject char
acteTizes neglect in fostering such
speCiar tastes and capacities as d ruth
less waste OF national capital. It is
possible that child study in the kin
dergarten may prevent some of this
waste, especially when mothers ann
kindergartneTs have the frequent OPP
DOTtunities for conference afforded by
the mothers meetings
Long before FrOebeIs time Plato.
Quintilian and other educational
writers had insisted upon the value of
the plays of children as "a preparation
for the serious business Of life" but
ii was reserved for the apostle Of
childhood" to fathOm tine deep mean
ing which oft lies hid in childish play
and to make it the cornerstone of his
educational foundation
The musical setting Of the kindergar-
ten plays makes them orderly and
law-abiding." and through the medium
Of song we believe with Plato that
rhythm and grace enter into the re
cesssS of the soul and abide there. The
organized play, when rightly conduct
ed, preserves the true balance between
lawful liberty and license, and in no.
wise interferes with the spOntaneity of
childhood Freedom and law are in
separable terms. and one of the i'm
portant lessons of the kindergarten
game is that the good of the Individual
is conditioned by the good of tho whole.
The only one who isn't happy is the
one who won't play. Consideration of
others and subOrdinatiOn Of self are
common. plain virtues to be acquired
only by daily act and habitude" The
kindergarten play circle is the school
for these social virtues, because ali
must play together in order TO play at
all.

Imitation.

Froebcl was the first of child stu
dents to discover the significance of
imitation in child life. What man
tries to represent. that he begins to
understand is his motto. Imitation
is necessary as a means Of under
standing. Let me do and I shall
know" is the implicit faith of the child
I will ny like a bird and run like a
pony and hop like frog. and 50 I shall
become each Of them. Let me do what
mamma does and I shall be mamma. -
SO through varied and constant imi-
tations children initiate themselves
into the complexities Of the life around
them. Froebel would utilize this in
stinct for imitation by giving a wide
range to play and directing it TO an
educational end. His special plays in
clude those which represent move
ments in the plant and animal world.
the family and other relationships and
domestic and industrial activities.
The miner, the farmer, the baker the
carpenter are true heroes Of toll be
cause they are necessary TO make the
wheels of the great world turn round.
The ideal Of service which Mrs Eliot
advocates a. one of the functions of
education in a democracy is embodied
in these trade plays, which illus-ra e
the dependence of ore upon another
and the beauty Of cooperation.

Clothing.

"Our first gifts to our children are
letters" writes Rousseau, in condemn
ing the customary method Of clothing
infants. The traditional long clothes
and bands must impede the freedom of
movement necessary TO develop mus
culaT strength. The emanciDated
mother discards all elaborate long
skirts and dresses and makes her baby
comfortable in Arnold slips Like the
FrOebel mother. she watches the free
play of the limbs and rejoices in the
growing strength of her baby, as she
sings:

The Gifts.

No agency Of the kindergarten has
beal so much questioned and - often
perverted as the gifts. Froebel did not
intend them to become a means Of
instruction in geometry and arithme-
tic. but rather to furnish an alpha
bet OF things by which the young
pupil in natures school may BEGIN TO
spell cut the. volume of the universe. 80

Death of Mrs Chsuucy stokes.

Mrs Chauncy Stokes died at the family
residence, 1925 Pine street. this city. at
$50 o'clock last evening. Her health
had been somewhat broken for the past
forty years but not until the past year
had signs Of her closing life appeared.
No acute disease had fastened itself up
on her. Her death was due to nervous
trouble and general waning vitality.
Some months ago she underwent an op.
Grafton in which cataracts were removed
from her eyes. While this may have
somewhat fastened her death, she had
sufficiently recovered to be up part of
the time, and not until last Friday was

stock, the Wylies having come to
America in the MayAower She was
married to Chauncy Stokes in Walworth
county, Wisconsin, in 1855. After their
marriage they lived for some years in
Evanston, III. In the year 1871 they
came to Longmont, Colo. From there
they moved TO Denver. In 1875 Mr.
Stokes came to Boulder and established
himself in the lumber business. The
spring following Mrs Stokes joined her
husband here and has been a resident of
this city ever since. From her early
girlhood Mrs Stokes was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Her life
has been beautifully consistent and filled
with patience and good works Her
only child, Mrs J. II. Parsons, has been
in constant attendance upon her mother
in her illness, and with Mr. Stokes was
present at the time when death came.
Beside her family and relatives wide
circle of old acquaintances and friends
will deeply mourn her departure. MI
Stokes will have the sympathy OF the
business and professional men and citi.
zens of Boulder.
