Short and appropriate speeches made a
pleasant break in the last rehearsal of the
Choral Society at Carroll Institute Hall

was large and the gallery was filed with
sustaining members. At recess President
William Bruce King congratulated the So
ciety on the triumphs of the season, which
had begun with serious misgiving. The
public had emphaticany approved Of the
proper rendition of the great sacred COM
positions on Sunday night. The best re-
suits of the year, however, were the growth
of the chorus in numbers. improvement in
volume and tone and creation Of enthusiasm
for next years work.
At this point Mr. Thomas Gold Alvord OF
the chorus and editor of its Bulletin called
attention to the work of the soclety's di-
rector, Mr.. Josef Kaspar, which had made
these triumphs possible. He also spoke OF
the efforts of Mr.. De Koven to the same
end. and moved the adoption of the reso-
lutions of thanks to Mr.. De Koven and
Prof Kaspar.
The resolutions were adopted by rising

made a fitting response, thanking the So

The Care Of Parkings.
Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is sincerely hoped that every house.
holder in Washington has read and will
profit by the excellent advice contained In
your editorial in Saturdays issue of The
Star under the head line. "The Duty OF
All Good Citizens" The development of the
parkings, lawns and flower beds by private
residents and public care of trees and res
ervations are evidences of good taste in
any community. and IL police protection
could be secured against trespass, as it
should be, there is but little doubt that
every park, lawn and tree space in the city
would be fostered by the people and soon
become the pride alike of all. In this con-
nection it may be asked IL the District
Commissioners and the superintendent of
public buildings and grounds have decided
the question of removing the ugly parking
from New York avenue between 18th and
18th streets, now surrounded by unsightly
posts and tangled wire: also If 1t is pos
sible that the tree spaces through this ave-
nue. from 9th to 18th streets may be bank
ed and sodded they are in front of the
public library thus adding to the spring
beauty of Washington.

physical growth-if the moral nature is
to grow naturally.
1t cannot be denied that physical
clealiness, control and poise lead to
purity and self-control in thought and
action. And if a character is a COM
pletely fashioned will the dependence
of morality on intellectual develop
ment is obvious.
There have been two viewpoints held
in the past in regard to the moral
characteristics of the child. Accord
ing to Compayne, it is a bachelor and
a bishop who have said the worst
things of children, claiming that they
come into the world bearing every ev-
idence of original sin, which must be
blotted out by moral training. On the
other hand, Rousseau and the poets
claim that the child comes from the
Creators hand a perfect creature,
which man, with his biundering at
tempts at nurture at once begins to
mar. If care is taken to consider these
extreme views, it can readily be seen
that neither represents true state of
affairs.
The young child, while he has a ma
ture capable of becoming moral or i'm
moral is not as yet a moral being, for
morality implies will and choice. He
has tendencies that make for morality,
pro-moral tendencies, and he also has
contra-moral tendencies, or those

The danger in the school is for the
teacher to become so engrossed in
reading, writing and arithmetic, that
she forgets that the important thing
in educa tion is the habits, mental,
moral, and physical, that are being
formed while the child is learning
these subjects. This same danger be-
sets the kindergartener, who often be-
comes so absorbed in the information
she is able to help the child acquire
that she too forgets his habits. Real
ling the dependence, of the physical
mental and moral growth. one upon
the other-can education afford to ne
glect any one for the other? Look
back over the history of education, and
profit by the results of nations, that
specialized.
An environment of industry, mental
or manual is a good thing for the grow
ing child of any age, and the ideal
school is the one when the child meets
both conditions, not that reading, writ
ing and arithmetic must be neglected,
but that the child be given the oppor-
tunity, as, DR.. Deerey, says of COM
ing in first hand contact with actuali-
ties" Let him apply his book learn
ing, by working with real things
making objects OF use and service.
And by gaining intellectual and physi-
cal control over himself-moral habits
are a natural outgrowth.

THE MORAL NATURE
OF THE CHILD
BY NELLIE RUBEL.

Thoughtful observers Of children re-
alize that they are not little men and
women, but strange creatures with
thoughts, feelings, ideas and ideals pc
culiarly their own, determined by their
stage of development.
People generally have sufficiently re-
gard for the young child to feel that
it is wrong to put garments that are
too large on the little one. But while
taking the physical care often ignore
the child's ethical and mental stature
by imposing adult standards of morali-
ty and adult ideas on the young child.
Thus hindering his moral and intel
lectual progress as much as adult
clothing would impede bodily progress.
In the light of recent child study
teachers have awakened to the fact
that children cannot be fitted to adult
standards of education. Nowhere is the
plea for the natural growth and nur-
ture of the child, as three-fold unity,
mental, moral and physical more thor
oughly appreciated than in the kinder
garten.
In attempting to discuss the moral
nature of the child one is impressed
with the necessity for sound mental or
