vHIi. .E the tunlult and the
\N shouting in South Africa
have died down. England
has by no means gotten
over her difficulties, and one of the
worst of these is the problem OF ed,i-
cation for the children of the Beers.
EARLY in the history Of the concentra-
ton camps, his majrstys government
established Ia the best of its ability Il
system OF kindergarten instruction for
the children in the camps. At first in
struclion was largely improvised by
the aid OF generous women from the
cities. who acted as volunteers but in
many cases had more zeal than -ttir-
iency. Later, trained teachers were
brought from England. ana they have
done wonders in the short time which
they have had at their disposal \ re-

camp schools. The following extract

After the singing the visitors passed to "A

writing letters to friends. One girl of
about II, whose writing was particularly
creditable, had stated among other
things In her letter that "A year ago |

But what eomplicates the problem Is
the fact that now these Boer children
are going home with their parents to
the farms on the weld, where they will
soon forget what they have learned
and relapse into the Intellectual bar
