T is a beautiful morning and. if you
 will, you may come with me on a round to our kindergarten. We will first visit the Parent Kindergarten on Avenue D and Nineteenth street, South. There are about sixty children in atend- ance, ranging from the age of to 6 years. They sometimes have even babies of two years and a half, if 1t is necessary Fo relieve a poor mother.
 Babies? of course they are babies. but you should see how happy these babies are at the kindergarten. The baby table 1s, perhaps, the most charming there. But you will see for yourself.
 We reached the Kindergarten just in time to see the happy children from the circle, each one carrying his or her little chair and putting 1t down with as little noise as possible. Soft music was being played, atuning the little hearts to the morning greeting.
 It was beautiful to see the little ones Dow and smile their greetings to one another, singing:
 "Good morning to you,
 Good morning to you,
 E oSood morning, dear children,
 Good morning for allr'
 The work in the circle consisted of play; but well directed play The chil- .dren skip. sing, run. play games, all based on the lesson brought especially for their minds on that day
 The occupations and duties of the Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters. serve las fundamental basis for the lkindergar- ten work at this time of the year. when the childs attention is of necessity directed to indoor life. The domestic af- fairs and relations furnish excellent ma terial for these exercises.
 As spring approaches nature lessons will form the basis of the work The beautiful autumn months, with their riches of color and abundance of fruit, furnished topics for splendid lessons. Every faculty of the child Is awakened, drained and directed
 The lesson taught in the circle is en- aarged and developed at the tables, around which the children are seated on little chairs, each table in charge of Q teacher or assistant. The nimble fingers are taught to express their thoughts and many are pretty, bright objects the little tots carry to their homes.
 Often these homes are devoid of all beauty and cheer and who would deny the influence of the color and brightness thus brought home by the child.
 Leaving the busy little folks at the pa rent kindergarten, We hurried to pay a visit to the Bryant kindergarten on Ave hue G and Twenty-second street.
 The teacher there has been laboring un-

The prize fight advertised to take last evening iL San Francisco between
 Jim Jeffries and Bob Fitzsimmous came of ss per schedule, to the detri- ment Of Fi,I, who was knocked out on the ninth round. The affair term mated just as every man in Tomb stone had predicted, so they sssert, after having learned the result; how
 ever, Jeffries was the choice. and the champion's admirers here sought to place money upon their judgment but failed to find takers. Julius Cssssr offered to wager $2, 900 to $500 on the Californian, co certain
 was he that the Cornishnsn would go down before the giant gladiator on the fifth round, sod he was ssill around th morning anxious to wager ducsts to frijoles that Jedries is the best man in the world. The PRos- RECTOR is pleased to recount the fact, however, that Tombstone maintained her spor,in. reputation by a slim margin, for which honor we are in. debted to Supervisor George 5. Resy and Charley Wallace, who backed their respective opinions with box of cigars each. We make this announces ment so save the reputation of the city.
