PORTUGAL TO BLOSSOM FORTH.

Portugal proposes to be an up-to-date republic.
Having gotten rid of its King, on the one hand, and
of the clergy the other, and proved that it can
govern itself, it is starting out wild course Of
self-advertisement and resurgence from obscurity.
Its scheme of operation is practical and at the
time eminenty Portuguese.
The trouble with Portugal in the past has been
that she has lain outside the tourists highway She
is as sunny as Spain as rugged as maritime France
her waters are blue; her winters warm her eli
mate is balmy; her people unique But she has
hitherto failed to capitalize these attractions. She
has no railroads to speak Of The smoke Of the
Mediterranean steamers never rises above her hori-
Waiting with all the gifts of nature in her lap,
she sees the streams of American and English and
Continental travel and gold flow by her to Spain and
Italy and the Riviera.
Portugal has determined that this shall no Ion
ger be. The government has appointed a commits
sion to investigate the subject, and this is its recon-
mendation:
That all the chief towns shall be equipped with
luxurious gambling casinos, in every way the peers
of Monte Carlo
The parliament and press are reported to be at
one in Endorsement Of the plan. There seems little
doubt that it will be adopted and very probably II
will serve its purpose of attracting tourists money
to the country. We do not know that it will serious
ly affect the peoples morals. Standards created by
it cannot be much lower than the standards that
prompt it. If provision is made, as in Monaco, tina,
only nonresidents shall be allowed to gamble prob
ably all Portugal will derive worldly benefits from
the venture and pronounce it a great success. The
injury done others and the contempt of all really
civilized countries do not so much matter

KINDERGARTEN NOT DOOMED
Speakers Reassure Association
-Explain Montessori Plan.

Well the kindergarten is safe. The peo-
pie who have been fearing It would be ell
bowed out Of existence by the newer Mon
tessori method were much relieved at the
reassuring speeches made yesterday after
noon at the twentyfrst annual meeting OF
the New York kindergarten Association.
at No. 524 West 42d street Professor Henry
w. Holmes who came all the way from
Harvard University TO explain tho new
method to the New York kindergarteners,
told them II wasn't SO different after all.
The idea in both methods is not to inter-
fere with the child's activities. TO stand
back and watch what he does. then to en-
body these actions in a system OF teaching.
The great difference between the two
methods" the lecturer said. rs that Mon
tessori does not try TO awaken ideals, nor
TO stimulate the child's imagination as the
kindergarten does. There are no stories.
no symbolic games, and when the child
plays with the blocks or papers he is not
building up any forms of life, beauty. or
knowledge In the kindergarten ideals are
planted in the young mind OF love for home
and loyalty to country. through the games
played. but the Montessori method neglects
this side of life altogether.
Its greatest contribution TO pedagogy Is
its method of sense training Now. l do
not believe we want our American chill
dren learning TO read and write at three
or five years OF age; indeed It is unde-
| sirable they should do so before six, but the
| methods Montessori uses TO teach the tiny
4 children could be adopted with benefit to
/ our primary grades, so that our children OF
/ six would learn writing with less strain
/ and more pleasure than they now do. Our
reading lessons need not be improved upon.
What educators must do is TO make sci
entifc Investigations and records Of the
| various methods they hear about. and so
! learn what is good In each. Assertions are
/ not worth anything without evidence All
we can say dogmatcally about the results
Of idealistic training Is not so valuable as
one actual record like this.
"A little child was enduring Painful ma
nipulation at some ones hands-a dentists
l believe-but she did not cry. Her mother
and the dentist were so surprised that they
asked her why she hadn't. I'm brave,
said she. knights are brave why! Where
did you hear about knights?' the mother
asked, and the proud answer was, In kin
dergarten.'
Two women speakers followed Professor
Holmes. Miss Alice Parker, supervisor Of
vestlgations made in her schools, by which
it was discovered that children who had
had kindergarten training were anywhere
| from six months to two years ahead OF
! those who had not.
New-York tribune., 1912-01-17

"Why are the army women taking the
initiative in the movement for the resto-
ration of the canteen?" said Mrs. Bur-
hank. at Is because officers of the army
are forbidden by the regulations TO try 10
influence legislation, and this would In
volve a change Of law. We army women
have stood aside while other women die
tated a policy which tends TO ruin the men
of the army We shall stand aside no
longer"
Mrs Burbank urged her hearers to sign
q petition TO Congress, circulated among
the audience for the repeal OF the law
abolishing the canteen'
The petition already has twenty-four
hundred women signers and is approved
by the American Medical Association and
various other organizations.
Major Seaman quoted from General
Leonard Wood, General Frederick d. Grant
and other commanders Of the army past
and present, statements showing that
crime had increased in the army since the
canteen was done away with.
''The men drank less when we had the
canteen," he said "They took their beer
or wine in a place where excess was not
tolerated, and returned contented, their
craving for stimulants and sociability salts
fed, TO the reading room or TO their quar-
ters. When the canteen was abolished
they drank the vile liquor sold by outside
dealers-and the transition too often was
from these saloons to the brothel.
THAT is what the meddlesomo interfer-
ence Of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union has done, and it has done more-it
has greatly increased the use OF cocaine
and opium in the army"
The Rev. Edward S. Travers. chaplain
Of the West Point Military Academy, urged
the restoration of the canteen on the
ground that 1t would at least give the
men decent liquor. We have he said.
''men at the head Of the army who are
honest and pure OF purpose. surely this
matter may be left in their hands.
"Tho good women Of the WomaD,s Chris
tan Temperance Union" said the Rev.
Or. Guthrie, as a wind-up, had better not
bother about badnesses which are not
theirs They're just as bad In other ways:
ia rather have drunkards than lot OF
moral puppets. The drunkards can perhaps
be cured" .,...
