OBJECTIONS TO
THE KINDERGARTEN.
Ry a Kindergartner.

i
Repeatedly the objection is made by
dren make poor pupils; they always
want to play
There is something to be said on
both sides. Over-zealousness on the
part of a Kindergarten does undoubt-
edly lead, at times, to undue stimu-
lation, with the result invariably
] brought about by any excess-craving
for further stimulation. In other
words, poor kindergarten work may
| account for the difficulty.
On the opposite side, the objection
is frequently born of imperfect pri-
mary conditions, some of them be-
yond control of the teacher in charge,
such as crowded rooms, large classes,
poor ventilation, uncomfortable seats
all menaces to the freedom which kim
dergarten children are unconsciously
led to expect.
Sometimes lack of cooperation be-
tween the two departments will be
found at the root of the discomfort
They are so nearly one in many
ways that each should constantly con-
slider the other, the kindergarten
studying the requirements of the pri-
mary school, the primary teacher
knowing the needs created in the or
ganism of the child by kindergarten
training. Along many lines this nu-
tual helpfulness is quite apparent, but
in one direction there is often a clash

active, and to succeed with him in
the lower grades of school his work
must be given in active. not passive,

act upon each other and after impress

preston.
The appropriateness of the outlet is
not always apparent at first glance, as
is proven by the following incident

ago:

told and the children seemed much i'm

THE IMPOLITE SUN.

It's pleasant of a summer morn, when
not more than half awake,
To lie abed and let the dreams and
visions of the future make
Our lives the color of the rose-our
plans so fair they seem.
And as the moments quickly pass, we
dream and smile and smile and
dream.
But one can't muse on visions fair,
no matter how he tries,
When the sun I'm the morning puts his
fingers in your eyes.
The world knows the old adage of the
early worm and bird,
The sage advice OF Franklin from our
parents we've oft heard,
But for all that we like to doze and
wake and doze again,
To take from the busy work day a few
minutes more-but then,
You might as well throw back the
sheets and with one jump arise,
When the sun In the morning puts his
fingers In your eyes.

WOOD ALCOHOL
Is Dangerous AS Drink and in
Medical. Preparations.

Medical. Preparations.
From the Medical Record.
Up to within comparatively recent
period cases of poisoning by wood al
cohol were among the rarities of med
ical practice for so long as the sub
stance was manufactured by the old
processes it's offensive smell and taste
were sufficient to deter even the most
hardened drinker from using it to sat
isfy his craving for alcoholic stinu-
lants. Since the time, however that
"deodorized" wood alcohol has been
placed on the market, under various
names, the fatalities from it's use have
gone up by leaps and bounds.
Not only may it be used in place
of grain alcohol in the manufacture
and adulteration of spirituous liquors,
but it is also largely and widely used
as menstruum in many toilet prep
arations and remedies for internal and
external use. The reasons for this
practice are twofold. First, and that
which appeals most forcibly to hui
man nature, is the comparative cheap
ness of wood alcohol, it being untaxed
and costing but so cents gallon, while
grain alcohol, taxed, costs at retail
$3.50 gallon. The second reason is
the ignorance of many manufacturers
as to the deadly nature of methyl al
cohol. Indeed, even among members Of
the medical profession views with re-

 At the last meeting of Wadhams post it was voted to invite all veterans of the Civil war to attend the reunion and parade of the society of the Army of the Potomac at Hartford May 19, 1904. One fare for the round trip.
 The attendance at the masses in the churches this morning was very large. The biggest congregations were at the $ o'clock services. This is the most convenient time in the day for house. keepers to get out for half hour. 1t gives women time to put things in shape after breakfast and prepare the youngsters for school before going out and probably all this has something to do with fixing the hour at that time. The service at 5:30 in the morning comes in just right for people who have to be at work at ' o'clock, and the number that takes advantage of the opportunity to be present at the early service shows how well the ac- commodation is appreciated.

Judge CaynOr

one of New Yorlz's leading judges, has decided that playing baseball on sun day is not breaking any just law. But we notice that right here in water bury there are certain few who are bound we will have no baseball game on Sunday. Well, maybe we wont ana maybe we will. Of course, if the law says no then the certain few will be able to sit down and smile, but if that law is ever changed they will nave lime to sit down and frown, and US our opinion they should be compelled to do the latter. Say, if those rev were compelled to work ten hours six days per week, do you think they q relish being obliged to sit down ana look at each other all Sunday or would they take a little recreauon. and what better recreation could you Rsk for than get out in an open neld where you get good, fresh air ano took at two baseball hines play the national game.
