The Kindergarten.

The difference between the kinder.
garten and primary school must be
clearly understood. In the kinder
garten the child discovers for himself;
in the school he is given a.task to per-
form.
A child of four must receive in the
kindergarten physical, mental, social
and ethical development. That is, it
must train the senses and body, teach
ing him cleanliness and help to form
correct habits. 1t must teach the child
that another child has the same rights
as himself, leading him to an under
standing of obedience, right, unselnsh-
ness and justice.
Among the advantages of the kinder
garten to the public schools, the child
reads better and more naturally and
certainly writes and draws better. He
is more considerate of others and more
cheerfully obedient. He has gained
self-confidence, less tearfull and shy, or
less turbulent than the child who has
not been to kindergarten. The kinder
garten is school for the child, adapted
to child nature. If it is the duty of the
state to take charge Of the child of six,
it is equally its duty to take charge of
the child of four. The kindergarten is
the natural bridge between infancy
and the primary school.-Copied.

The BaccaIaureate Service.

The baccalaureate service at the
First Methodist Episcopal Church last
Sunday evening attracted a good sized
audience and was an interesting occa-
sion. 'Truth" was the theme of the
sermon preached by the Rev. Robert

most able, making very favorableim-
preston upon those present. The
Rev. J. M. Robertson made the open
ing prayer, while Rev. o. S. Metzler

Starting Flower Seeds.

The best way to sUart flower seeds
early in the house is described by wo-
mon writer as follows: Take dozen
large potatoes, cut them in two length
wise, and with spoon scoop out the
inside, leaving only enough to hold the
rind firmly. There is no vase in this,
for you can use the potatoes for the
table. When you have them all SCOOP
cd out fill the shells with very fine soil
If you start your seeds in town, you
can get a basket of the right kind from
the florist If you are in the country
mix it yourself of leaf mould or any Or
dinary rich soil and a third of sand, to
insure drainage. Remember the first
sustenance of your baby plant is as all
important as healthy nourishment for
infants. Then SOW your seeds accord
ing to directions, and stick tag with
its name on each potato with pin
The potatoes should be kept on plates
with little water in them. Now,
place your seeds on a table in front of
a sunny window in warm room. For
a day or two keep them covered with
wet square of muslin. After that keep
the wet muslin on them only at night,
and if they look dry spray them with an
atomizer. You will be surprised to see
how quick they will come up. Leave
them in the potatoes until they are
quite strong, then transplant to boxes
or pots, or, if it is late enough, to the
open bed. There is some virtue in the
potato itself, or perhaps it is only be-
cause the rind keeps the earth moist,
but have found seeds come up quicker
and are stronger in that way than in
any other.

FARMING PAYS
But II Requires Careful Attention and
Good Judgment as Conducting
Any Other Business.

For some time II has been apparent 60
people with accumulated capital that as
a business venture farming pays a larger
income on the capital invested than any
other line of business, and that roo, with
out risk 70 the amount Of money in.
vested The farmer who has sufficient
money TO introduce labor saving devices,
and who employs time.saving methods Is
clearing more money on his Investment
than any man IN other lines OF business
For this reason there is movement of
capital toward investment in farm pro.
perty not for speculation but for an in.
vestment for making livelihood Many
of the farmers IN this vicinity have made
living, paid a mortgage given for the
purchase price Of the farm, and put up
new buildings out Of the proceeds of the
farm products. If farm will pay for
itself and support family. il surely will
give a good return on the Investment.
