ARE THEY WORTH MHILEf

Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who il dependentupon his
parents for livelihood until he reach
es the age OF twenty-one years costs
them four thousand dollars. On this
basis of calculation, family for fri
stance, OF six boys would represent an
outlay OF twenty-four thousand dollars
by the time they get away from the
home roost The question arises, does
it pay to raise boys, and are there not
other crops that would prove more
profitable?
II boy turns out to be cigarette
fiend with q breath like a turkey
buzzard and "a laugh that would make
the untutored donkey feel perfectly at
home i'm his society, and with an IN
trammeled and uncomfortable desire
to avoid work, it is safe to say that
his parents might have invested their
four thousand to a much better ad-
vantage.
But III the boy grows up to manhood
with the lesson well learned that
wealth and success grow only On
bushes watered by the sweat Of ones
brow, the parents need not begrudge
whatever they have spent upon him,
for he will be source Of increasing

THE BROOKLYN LYNCHING.

The lynching OF the negro, King
Johnson, at Brooklyn, Anne Arundel
county, on Christmas morning was
disgrace to this State. One murder
never justified another. There Is 40
doubt of the fact that the negro killed
his white companion In carousal at
Brooklyn, but it Is equally certain that
had the law been allowed to take its
course, johnson would have paid for
the crime with his life.
The small party of men who broke
into the Jail are more guilty than The
negro for they were apparently in
fiuenced neither by revenge not out
ragged feelings, but BY lust for blood,
BY defiance or the law and a desire to
defeat the course or justice.
we believe that Governor Crothers
will act as vigorously in demonstrate
ing to the country that Maryland will
not tolerate lynch-law as did the
Governors in several other Southern
states who recently took action to put
a stop to these outrageous crimes.
One " the things brought to light Ii
the negligence Of the officers in charge
of the Jail, who locked the prisoner up
and left without Waterman Of guard
thus affording absolutely no protection
against the violence Of a mob. 1t may
serve AZ lesson to other county jailsl
and cause an investigation into their
methods of guarding prisoners.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DEC. %, 1911 |
NEW YEARS DAY.

The opening day of the new year
has always been regarded with speci-
al interest BY all peoples, ancient and
modern, and the general observance
OF IL I'D one way and another, shows
the importance which has universal
ly attached to it.
But the particular day to be- fixed
upon as the beginning Of the new
year, was for long time, very indef-
mite and subject to much change.
Thus We are told that ever since the
beginning of the Christian Era,
Christmas day, the Annunciation, Eas-
ter Day and the first day of March,
have each i'm turn shared with the
first day of January in the honor Of
opening the new year.
The Romans, among whom the year
anciently began in March, were the
first to fix upon January as the begin
ming of the new year. But it was not
until the close of the sixteenth CEN
fury that this period seems to have
been generally adopted. The Jews q
the present day celebrate their New
Years festival in the month Tisbri,
which corresponds with September
October OF our calendar.
The Roman year originally consist
ed OF ten months, January having
twenty-nine days. Numa Pompilius,
one of the old Roman kings, transfer
red the beginning OF the year from
March to the first OF January, naming
the month for, and defeating it to
Janus, their double-faced God, who
with one face looked back upon the
year Just closed, and with the other
face looked upon the opening year.
This ancient God was regarded BY
them with peculiar interest and
sacredness, inasmuch as he was sup
posed to preside over the beginning
OF everything. we are told that at
the dawn or every day the people ad-
dressed their supplications to him,
bringing gifts of cakes, barley, in
cense and wine.
The first day of the year, has from
the earliest times, been marked by
the bestowal Of gifts. Under the
Caesars these gifts became such
source of profit to the sovereign and
80 onerous to the people, that they
were subsequently limited by d.
cree of Claudius. In England they
continued to some extent, as part
of the public expenditure Of the court
as far down as the reign OF Charles
III.
MAY the New. Year be happy" was
the form OF congratulation under the
old Scottish costom, as the morning
dawned upon the opening year.
And we repeat these words as the
sincere wish Of the ADVOCATE for
all it's patrons and friends.

kISDERGARTEN TRAINING.

1t has been said that education is
process OF living and not pro
cess for future living.
The Kindergarten Il process or
living, a Child Garden where the
children grow a. flowers. You may
wonder what kind of soil there Is 10
the garden, what sort Of foundation
the children have to work upon. IL
is from their homes that they tract
III the soil, and with the knowledge
they bring OF the home and its activ-
tiles they begin to build the foundation
for their knowledge of the surround
fngs and the communities their homes
are in. The Kindergarten is a minia-
ture world where the children rep
resent through stories, songs, games,
gift ana occupation work the life
about them.
In rejecting this life they learn to
feel If not to recognize the principles
governing life. They have learned
how the home is dependent upon those
in the community, the farmer, grocer,
butcher, merchant, carpenter and all,
and how they depend upon each 9TH
". They see that each has a part to
play, and begin to be conscious that
they have their parts to play too.
They have felt this sense Of interde-
pendence and cooperation, this being
a living part Of living whole, in
their contact with each other at work
and at play.
When impersonating mother as she
rocks the baby and cares for the
needs of her family, or in observing
nature the thought Of nurture comes
to the child and awakens desire to
care for, protect or provide for some
thing. SO ID Kindergarten the child
rem learn through symbolic play the
lessons they are to learn and inter
pref anew i'm the books they learn to
read.
They begin to grow from the inside
out and are eager to take on these
new things that are to teach them
lore and more. Their imaginations
have been stirred they have been en-
couraged to think and act for them
selves, their time has been occupied
according to a schedule, surely they
should be better prepared for the rou-
tine Of the school-room, with its les
sons and duties.
And watching him, perchance you
question why
Each new activity that meets his eye
Excites him his own skill to try.
His it, an instinct ignorantly wise!
Only in doing can he realize
The thing that's done beneath his
eyes.

men,
