Teaching Children Self Government.
From the Chicago News.


Outside of the George Junior Republic
not great deal has been done to teach
children practical self-government. Some
thing approaching it has been undertaken
during the last two months at the play
ground of the Hebrew Institute in this
city. Hundreds of children who frequent
that attractive place have been permitted
to control their own activities. Discipline
has been achieved through system OF
merit and demerit marks applied to one
another by the children themselves.
The results Of this system have been
admirable in securing good order. Those
who aver that children are naturally men,
dacious and quarrelsome would be obliged
to confess, after observing the absence OF
these unamia BILE qualities among the SELF
governed children of the Hebrew Institute.
that these faults are not hard TO correct
if the right method be taken. TO quote
one OF the instructors at the institute:
'.The plan instills respect for order in the
children" So well have they disciplined
themselves that at the children's midsum-
mer assembly today they are to be per-
mitted to carry out their own program
of games. contests and kindred amuse-
ments.
Training of this sort is OF great use to
children, since Ii helps materially in the
forming of their characters and prepares
them to act with knowledge and decision
when confronted by the problems and per-
plexities of later life

FOR R00SEVE[T'S CAUSE
Senator CIapp Places Himself
at Service of Maryland
Progressives.

BALTIMORE. September 5-Declaring
that if determined opposition to Taftism
and Aldrichism meant desertion from the
republican party. his desertion was COM
plete. United States Senator Moses E.
Clapp of Minnesota arrived here last
night and placed himself at the service of
the progressive party in Maryland. He
spoke later at the Twentieth Ward Pro-
gressive Club. and planned to speak at
Easton today.
Il have always regarded myself as a
republican, said the senator. but if I
have to subscribe to the principles of
Taft and Aldrich l shall have to read my
self out of the party. Ny allegiance to
progressive policies has been strong for
three years, so it is not surprising that /
am found espousing the cause of Theo-
dore Roosevelt
In regard to the conclusions to be
drawn from the result of the elections in
Vermont. Senator Clapp declared that
nothing recently had contributed SO much
to aiding the third party this.
Fletcher, the republican candidate for
governor" he said. was widely known in
the state. and 1T was a difficult matter
for the progressives to get out much of
vote. Their candidates had to be intro
duced to the voters, and a victory could
not have been expected under such condi-
tions.
But the magnificent showing of the
third party, despite all handicaps, would
seem to indicate that Roosevelt will carry
Vermont in November. / think the demo-
Gratis can find little encouragement in the
result
In the middle west Roosevelt will
prove strong. Personally, I think we
shall not have much difficulty in carrying
the states in that section. but once more
say here that representations are not
worth a cent We are making our fight
anyhow for principles sake. and, win or
lc-e, we shall have accomplished good"
