cherished" Because Friedrich Froebel
was a lonely, neglected child. he was
drawn in later life to all children, and be-
cause his own little hands had so often
ached for the want of congenial work or
for some harmless plaything he begged
the privilege of teaching tiny children the
things he wanted to know and to do. His
opportunity came to him there among his
German people, although he had many
difficulties 10 overcome, on account of the
unpopularlty of his ideas.
Froebel's first child garden was
opened in 1870 In 1851 Dr. Henry Barnard
wrote a pamphlet advocating the intro
duction of kindergartens in America. The
FIRST one opened in the United States vas
in Columbus, Ohio, in 1853 by Miss Caro-
line Louise Frankenburg. In 1853 Miss
Elizabeth Peabody established a kinder
garten in Boston, and her work attracted
general attention. In 1861 a German col

The statement that there are nearly
10000 children, nealy all babies, in the
public and private kindergartens Of the
United States has little significance to the
average reader until he remembers that
Of these there are many thousands who
come from families of absolute and dire
poverty where home is a meaningless
word. and where many OF the graces and
ordinary practices Of civilization are
wanting Through the kindergarten these
homes are reached. and a most beneficent
influence exerted. II is the fulhllment Of
the prophecy that "a child shall lead
them" There are hundreds OF homes
that have been made cleaner and more
attractive, hundreds Of parents who have
| learned the purifying uses OF soap and
water and the advantages Of better foods,
simply because painstaking hndergart-
ners have bathed upkempt little waits
and dressed them in clean clothes. have
taught them a few simple courtesies Of
| life. and have made them see the beautl-
/ ful things in everyday living. The work.
/ ers who find time to go and see the pa
thetic toil-driven parents in Their homes
often bring a word Of cheer and encour-
agement from the outside world which
| these modern drudges never have time to
visit.
All children who have had Kindergarten
! training are better fitted to enter the prl-
mary schools. and. knowing this. four
teen States have authorized them by law
| and 353 cities having a population Of 1900
and over have established free kinder
gartens. There are several hundred pri-
vate ones throughout the country, and as
many charitable ones. In all Of them
children are gathered from the alleys Of
the slums and taught the first principles
OF law. order, honesty, and patriotism.

Since then other national appropriations

cal application the principles Of agricul-

the government has expended nearly SO
O0Ooo0 on agricultural colleges, and over
60,000 boys are now In attendance. Boys
who attend these institutions return to
the farms to develop the resources there
after a modern fashion, 10 introduce new
machinery and new methods, to practice
rotation In crops, and conserve the ener-
giles Of the soil. They save the nation
many millions Of dollars year IN the i'm

Pretty WaIl Paper.

When prettily sprigged and dainty
wall papers can be purchased for 10
cents a roll, there is not often an ex.
cuse for ugly walls in bedchamber
If one selects first the wall paper and
carries the suggestion of its color and
design into the furnishings of the room,
one need not be at loss to secure a
charming effect.
One room in which this cheap wall
paper was used was made as artistic
and attractive as many more expen-
sively furnished room. The wall paper
chosen had light pastel blue ground
sprinkled over with short stemmed
daisies with yellow centerS.
With infinite taste the furnisher used
this daisy for a keynote in her fur
nishings. On the dressing table there
is a ruffied cover of white muslin. The
light blue, white enameled furniture
or maple might be used with just as
good effect.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

A brush dipped in salt water should
be used in cleaning bamboo furniture.
Paint brushes can be cleaned by
washing IN hot soda water and soft
SOAP
White paint should be cleaned with
warm water, using a little whiting on
the cloth, then rinsing with clear wa
ter.
Potatoes will bake more quickly if
boiled in salted water for ten minutes,
then put in the oven. The boiling wa
ter will heat them through so they cook
In short time.
The scrapings of a jam pot, about one
tablespoonful, II heated, will, with the
addition of two teaspOonfulS OF hot
water and the same of lemon juice,
make excellent sauce for boiled pud-
ding.
BY cutting old potatoes into small
balls, allowing them to soak for three
or four hours in cold water, then boil
ing in cold salted water and serving
with cream sauce, good substitute fox
new potatoes is obtained.

dren Walk Too Soon.

VAIN % 0OOns
Too many parents make the mistake
Of encouraging their children to walk
before the little legs are ready to bear
the youngsters weight. Backward ba-
bles are the exception and even where
they may seem so it is probable that
nHure knows best and that the child
will be eager to walk as soon as il is

Once the baby does begin to walk,

aid him in his new found accomplish

are excellent and serve well during the
transition from the creeping to the
walking stage.
See, too, that the baby's shoes are Of
a sort to endure good use. The paper
sOled boOtees of his earlier days must
now be discarded and tiny leather
shoes procured instead. If he has the
slightest tendency to weak ankles, buy
the specially stffened shoes made to
remedy this, and in this case keep him
from walking as far as possible until
they become stronger.
Let him walk indoors entirely at
first. Postpone his first outdoor jour
ney until some warm. pleasant spring
or summer lay. And let it he very
long time indeed before you let him
navigate the stairs by himself. The

Press Between Muslin, Not Touched
With Bare Metal.
One Of the points to remember when
ironing lace is to iron it well to the
width, so that the whole design Of the
lace will show clear and distinct and
look as like the new material as pos.
Sible.
To do this the lace must be carefully
pulled to the width and then placed
on the table wrong side up and ironed
along the straight edge, holding the
lace up In front Of the iron so that the
toe Of the iron may press the lace to
the width and also keep the selvage
straight
Again place the lace fiat on the table
and iron across the width. pressing the
toe Of the iron into each point until it
is quite dry. If the lace has raised
pattern, thick piece of felt or three
folds Of ordinary blanket may be slip
ped under the ironing sheet and the
lace ironed over it. This will raise
the work considerably.
Very fine lace should be irOned
through muslin and never touched
with the bare metal.
