ID curious tnat alter you nave
lived and worked among the
u poor, the well-to-do seem rather
dull and commonplace" said
Mrs. George c. Riggs, who is known
to the world of readers as Kate Doug
las Wiggin.
"The poor are constantly facing
crises. They are nearer to life, death,
and the primitive emotions. Any
teacher who has the real teaching in
stinct never willingly goes among rich
children, if she has dealt with the poor.
Not because she is doing a greater
work, for the children of the rich
need a missionary, too, but among
half-starved souls and bodies you will
find hunger for beauty and knowledge,
and gratitude and loyalty, while among
the others there is sophistication,
WEAKNESS and repletion."
Her Training Enables Her to Speak
With Authority of the Poor Child
Mrs. Riggs speaks with authority on
the poor child and his problems, for
many of the years OF her young wo-
manhood were spent in helping him to
solve them. She was little more than
girl when she organized kinder
garten in the slums of San Francisco,
the first one in the West. Here she
gained that insight into child nature
which characterizes her work.
Mrs. Riggs has studied kindergar-
tening in the East, but the principles
and practice which are now every
child's birthright were then a novelty
She often taught her little circle with
visitors three deep around it. They
came from the city, from the neigh
boring States and from Hawaii, Aus
tralia and New Zealand, to see what
this curious new school was like.
"At times l felt as though | could
not go on" said Mrs. Riggs. "It was
so difficult TO preserve the uncon-
sciousness of the children and my
own peace of mind, but it was worth
struggling for, because the visitors
later became an interested public
which established and carried on the
great system of free kindergartens."

Some "reminiscences That
May Be Forthcoming
Some day, perhaps, Mrs. Riggs will
write little collection OF Children
/ Have Known" and fill it up with
some of the incidents that are told of
her relations with children. Of these
the majority will be "reminiscences of
the babies who gathered about Miss
Kate in the days of the Silver Street
kindergarten In San Francisco, for it
was there that she formed her child
intimacies. Now, she has become the
object of hero worship to groups OF
girls whose hero worshipping faculty
between the ages of twelve or thir-
teen is too highly developed to admit
of rational friendship. Doubtless Mrs.
Riggs could tell amusingly how it feels
to be heroine to a very young and
very adoring grosp.
The country child is Mrs. Riggs
real favorite. She was one herself,
and has never forgotten it. Interested
as she has been in the unfortunate city
child, no out-and-out-bred youngster
has made his appearance on her pages.
Children are the hardest beings to
make real in literature and art" she
said. They are so simple, so truth
full, that wrong line or an untrue
word robs them in a flash of their
simplicity and beauty. We all know
the revolt we feel when a priggish
self conscious child appears on the
stage, and the reverse delight on the
entrance of a beautiful and natural
one, however we may groan to see the
child there. 1t is the same with other
representations Every bit OF child
portraiture must be put to the test oil
these questions: Is it childlike? Would
child say that? If it stands the test
the writer may know he has done
something worth while, for a real
child character is perennial-demand-
ed by each new generation and never
quite outgrown by the one before
Mrs. Riggs reads the criticisms oI
her books and delights in any fresh
phase that some reader may have dis
covered. Lately, she has been keenly
interested in the putting into practice
of a suggestion made by her in one oi
her earlier books.
In this book the heroine conceived
the idea of storytelling hour for

sion of the recent lynching and burn
ing of the negroes Reed and Cato,

mendations:
Lieut.. L. A. Nell, who was IN

ed.
Lieut.. Griner, who was in charge

to the facts surrounding the lynch
ing OF the two negroes was made,
the hearing lasting nearly two weeks.
