PRINCE AT QUEBEC.
Heir to British Throne Visits
Canadian City
RECEIVED WITH GREAT HONOR
A Multitude of People, Thousands of
Soldiers and a Fleet of Information
al Warships Assemble to Do Honor
to the Heir of the English Throne.

Quebec, Que, Special.-The Prince
Of Wales landed from the British bat
tleship Indomitable amid the deafen-
ing roar of guns from the information
al feet of British, French and Ameri-
can warships, and the tumultuous de-
menstrations of $4,000 people massed
upon the wharves and the terraced
heights of the city. 1t was a spec
tacle of truly royal splendor, for the
latest type of British Dreadnought,
with the royal standard flying, came
to anchor among the double column
of foreign warShips, and the Prince
was welcomed ashore by Earl Grey:
Governor-General of Canada; Pre-
mier Laurier and the assembled dig
nitaries, tlanked by thousands of
soldiers and a multitude Of people.
1t was 2::45 in tie afternoon when
the crowds assembled on the cliffs
saw the Prince Of Wales feet en-
erge from the mist far down the riv-
er. Immediately the guns of the war
ships began to thunder, the British,
French and American ships firing
their royal salutes together, while ev-
cry ship hoisted the royal standard
and broke out a mass Of color from
stem to stern. The Indomitable ad-
vanced majestically, with sailors and
marines ranged along the gun deck

and power of the British snip stood

of her came the Monitaur, another

At O'Clock the battleships again
roared a salute as the Prince disem-
barked from his ship and came
ashore. He wore the uniform of an
admiral, with waving white plume
and dark coat faced with gold en-
broidery.
Premier Laurier delivered to the
Prince an address of welcome, in
which he assured him of the un-
swerving loyalty and devotion of
Canada to the King and its united

Opposes. the Kindergarten.

Spartanburg, Special.-Superinten-
dent Evans is at home again after
spending three weeks in Norfolk in
charge of an institute for teachers
who come from several of the neigh
boring counties. There was an en-
gollment of about $50, but the aver
age attendance was not more than
125. Very few male teachers were
present. When asked how tide-water
Virginia teachers compare with those
Of this State, he said the average
was about up to the same number
l:selected from towns in thirty or
forty miles Of Spartanburg, but they
were not equal to the Spartanburg
teachers. He also found that they
paid more attention to the kinder
garten work in schools than is done
in this State. Capt. Evans being in
terested in that work and not seeing
much benefit from it as managed here,
catechised the teachers as to its
value. At first scme of them did not
care to discuss it. They had accepted
it Us q part of the system, and
"systems" are always hard proposit-
ions to contend with. He secured
seme opinions, however, from the
better teachers, and this is about the
result of kindergarten work in Vir-
ginia. The children coming from the
homes to the public schools are bet
ter pupils than those coming from
the kindergartens. They are quicker
to take hold of the work in the prim-
ary classes and they do it better.
When a child stays in kindergarten
two or three years it has formed the
habit of school play, and it is more
difficult to break them in to regular
work. The best common school chill
dren come from the homes of the we'll
to-do-people. Capt. Evans thinks
that there is no place for these nurse
ly schools in the Piedmont unless it
be in some of the mill villages, where
few children four to six years, iv-
ing in very poor homes with no one
to watch them, might be better off
in q comfortable room, where they
could be entertained and have all
physical: wants supplied.

Fight on Freight Bates.

Cincinnati, O., SpeciaI.-Brushing
aside all intermediate modes of az
tion, the Receivers and Shippers
Association of Cincinnati has carried
its war against general increase in
freight rates directly to the President
of the United States. A communica-
tion was forwarded to President
Roosevelt last Saturday at Oyster
Bay and made public here asking the
Chief Executive whether he intends
to enforce decree issued several
years ago against certain railroads,
forbidding increased rates. If so, he
is asked at once to cause the Attor-
ney General to bring proceedings for
contempt against the Missouri Pa
ai6c Railway Company and the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail
way Company. Denying that politics
has anything to do with the letter at
this time it is explained that because
of the fact that certain general in
creases IN freight rates are to become
effective on August 10th on certain
roads, prompt and positive action be-
same necessary.
