October % 1911.
In the fall of 1910 and winter of
1911 there were numerous requests
from correspondents for information
and assistance relating to the dying
of pine in various sections of the south
ern states. In compliance with these
requests tho U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, through it's experts and
agents in the Bureau of Entomology,
has given spccial attention to the sub
ject thorough study has been made
of the character and extent OF the trou

Gated at Spartanburg, S. c., early in
representatives of the Bureau of En-
tomology who. from this central
point, have been very active in giving
practical instructions and demonstra-
tions on the cause of the dying pine
and the remedy. Many thousands of
circulars and letters of information
have been sent direct to owners of
pine in all of the South Atlantic and
Gulf States. Addresses have been deliv-
cred at community, county, state, and
Interstate meetings of owners of pine
and others interested in the protection
of the forest resources of the South.
and the press has given wide publicity
to the movement. There is now evil
dence of widespread interest in this
subject and we are confident that if
the Information already given to the
people is properly utilized in n con
certed effort by the majority of the
owners in the affected areas the pine
will stop dying,

formation as to the interest manifest

Where Kindergarten Succeeds

In the March number of the Ladies

entitled Whore the kindergarten
Fails" which claims to point out the
misdemeanors Of the average" Kin
dergarten by disregarding the physi-
cal, mental and spiritual needs of the
child. No system claims perfection,
but Miss Porter's article attacks many
things not found in good average
Kindergartsns today. I do not know
where or when she has observed Kim
%dergartens but surely she has been I'M
fortunate in the types selected.
From the physical standpoint, the
Kindergarten gives the child a. good

ter make such a fuss because the Kin.
dergarten let's him initiate wholesome
activities. That is the childs way OF
finding out what the different actions
OF men and animals are. Through
these plays he gains physical activity
and freedom of expression before he
can express his ideas in language or
writing. His gift building gives him
the most definite impressions of form
and number. Story work also gives
him a wide range of new ideas, new
words and helps him to understand q
variety of experiences, which would
be impossible otherwise for him to
have. The valuable habit of atten.
ton is also formed by these means.

pernicious familiarity with the won

child to observe the winds and the Jun.
tho earth and the water? Do the sim
pie old myths and legends about these
make him too familiar with the great
forces OF nature which are the handi-
works of God? One great value of
the kindergarten is entirely omitted
from Miss Porter's article and that is
its great socializing value. There are
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1911-03-23

certainly some dangers from associat-
ing together, but there are also great
benefits. People have to live together
in this world, and they have to learn
how to do this. Tho average child In
the home is not called upon to adjust
himself to others of his W age, he
may have his p~laythings when and
where he-will, but the kindergarten
helps him to realize that he IL one of
many, that there is always the good
OF the whole to be considered, and
that the individual must learn at times
to sink his individuality for that good.
AS for obedience the kindergarten
child finds that the law is there for all
to obey. A larger freedom is allowed
him than that of the child in the
grades, but though the laws are few
and simple, nevertheless they exist
and must be obeyed.
AS for harmony, the average Kin,
