The kindergarten offers a special adj
tage-namely, the opportunity for
practice of citizenship before real civic
duties present themselves. Theory Is a
necessary preliminary to performance,
even when the doer is not sufficiently
enlightened In his work TO be aware
that he holds a theory. But practice is
the test of theory. Right here in the
kindergarten our six-year-olds are I'M
consciously testing theories Of life
through problems which will arise,
willy nilly, even In child's life, as
soon as that child begins to come In
contact with other children. The chill

And TO the girls let US say that
when a young man, or an old man,

designs against your virtue, and, if
you consent to take the glass that
sparkles and entices, you will rue
