BAY STATE R0usED.
GOOD REASONS TO EXPECT a
WILSON VICTORY THIS YEAR
IN MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICANS IN THE DUMPS
Their Party Is Split Wide Open BY
Third Term Movement and Demo
crats Are keenIy Alive to Their
Opportunity to Win.

In his trip through New England
Govern Wilson was everywhere re-
ceived with vast throngs and every
evidence OF good will. The impression
he made justifies the hope that No
vember Will show that he has brok-
en- the Republican solidity OF the
northeastern corner OF the country.
There Is. however, more substantial
reason than crowds and clamor for
expecting the addition OF some OF the
New England states to the Democratic
column Governor Foss of Massachu-
setts. has been elected twice in sue
cession and is well enough satisfied
with the prospects to make the race
third time The primaries held in
that state showed keen interest
among Democrats and Encouragement
and decline among the Republicans.
At the primaries for governor ss.422
Democrats and 1885 Republicans
voted. Here Ii state has has been
supposed to be rock-ribbed In its Re-
publicanism where more Democrats
than Republicans took part in the
primaries.
The significance OF this fact 10
greatly increased by comparisons with
last spring and last year. The presi-
Dental preference vote in April was
taken before Governor Wilson had
been selected. and before the break
In the Republican ranks had occurred.
1t seemed to be hardly worth while
for Democrats to take the trouble to
express their preference. Only $4,000
did so. while 171.000 Republicans ex-
pressed their preferences for the pres
fdent or Roosevelt But Wilson's
nomination has aroused the hope of
every Democrat In the country, while
the third party movement has para
lyzed the Republicans. At the state
primary the Demochats cast nearly
four times as many votes as at the
presidential preference primary. and
the Republicans cast less than three
flfths.
Not less interesting is the compari-
son between last weeks state primary
and the primary of last year. The to-
tai vote this year is about 10000
greater than the primary vote a year
ago This increase is made up of a
Republican loss of 1907 and Dem
ocratic gain Of s1.37S. Applying those
percentages Of gain and loss to the
presidential vote of 1908, the Demo
Gratis would nearly carry Massachu-
sets over the united Republican party,
and the party is split from top to bot
tom by the third term movement

Vegetable Fiber for Shoes.

Haverhill (Mass) shoeman has
obtained patents giving him the right
to make vamps and tops of vegetable
fiber which he has invented and per-
fected to be used in the manufacture
of shoes. A few cases of shoes have
been made of this material, which ap-
pears to be good substitute for
leather The fiber is said to be par
ticularly adaptable for warm weather
wear because, being Of a woven ma
terial. air can penetrate the vamp and

shoe made of this material Is water

Col Roosevelt denies that his trust
program was formulated by men inter-

distinct remembrance of the time
when George w. Perkins announced
his retirement from the firm of j. P.
Morgan & Co. and outlined plan for
the regulation of trusts In all essen
tials like the Roosevelt plan. 1t was
while the colonel's administration was
framing up the notorious Standard Oil

Some Soothing Syrup.

It is plainly evident, says the
Parkersburg DispatchINews, that
the strength of DR.. M. ID. Hatfield
as a candidate for governor has SO
got on the nerves OF the Clarksburg
Exponent. and the Huntington Adver-
tiser as to make them RESTLESS with
their falsehoods and ISLANDERS on the
doctor. While the Parkersburg
newspaper doubtless realizes, along
with thousands of others, that the
doctor will in due time give an eff
fectual prescription to these suffer
ing sheets, 1t cannot refrain from
Offering them little soothing syrup,
as Follows:
So far as we are aware, these are
the only opposing newspapers that
have withheld complimentary men
tion OF the strength and ability, the
charm and courtesy. characteristic
of this new and interesting figure in
our state politics estimated from the
non-polttlcal, standpoint. The bal
ance of the Democratic papers
have, at one time or another. paid
him tribute.
The trouble with these two torch
bearers OF the intellectual life is
that Or. Hatfield hairs from Nc
DowelI county, which Is a very
wicked county; that while he was a
member Of the county. court, down
there, license was granted to sell
the ardent In; many places, and that
the doctor was never q prohibitIonist.
These are matters which were
discussed fully by the Republican
voters priorsto their party's prl-
mary. 1T appears that Ga 1896 of
them found no fault with the doctor
and were willing to trust him.
These same questions will be dis
cussed again in the campaign, but
we do not expect the Democratic
press to go out, OF its way to take
part In it. by that time Democratic
editors win know more of their own
candidates personality and his rec
ord along these lines, and they will
be decidedly cautious in saying any
thing that might invoke comparison.
DR.. IHatfield's record on license
can be very easily and satisfactorily
explained. His position on the
pending amendment is very WE'LL
known. He stated it very plainly in

Simmer Heat and .chIIdren.

serleS OF extremely interesting
observations have been made by
scbleglnger, OF Vienna. on the Ell
feets tpf summer heat on infants and
older Children in some of the various
districts of Germany, more phrtieu-
larry ii Strasburg. The abnormally
high MORTALITY among iniants during
an extraordinarily hot summer oc-
eagiened the study. 4
On comparison Of various dis
tricts, all having the same climatic
conditions, the milk supply and geu-
|eral care of infants being so prac-
tical Identical, It was found that in
One district the mortality was higher
than in the others. In the district
the houses were tightly packed,
with but little open space between.
In such places the air does not cool
on at night during the summer, the
temperature in one place remaining
practically constantly above 80 C.

The Montessor.i rMetbod.

That weak-minded children taught
by the Montessori method are able
to pass an examination in reading
and writing with normal children:
that the smallest youngsters learn
to write in marvellous short time
and go into aefrenzy of delight when
they find theyehaye mastered the
art; and that the teacher plays an
entirely new role in the direction of
the SCHOOL, these are notable facts
reported with regard to the educa-
tional sSstem of DR.. Maria Monies
sori. Sthe italian physician and
teacher. whose experiments have
aroused great. interest in this coun-
try.
In bulletin Just issued for free
distribution, the United States Blu
reau of Education seeks to make a
conservative, impartial study of the
new system, pointing out the prin-
ciples and methods which really dis
tingulsh 1t from all others. 1T is
shown that the system has in effect
developed out OF the elaborate mod
ern science of child-psychology,
based upon the work of wundt, in
Germany.
In essence the ''Montessori meth
cd" is a system or self-education for
young children; OF education
through the principle of child lib
erty. Toward single individuals
one by one observed, education mus
direct ITSELF" says Montessori. II
her system, the teacher, instead. OF
teaching and correcting, merely OBJ
serves and directs. Hence she is
called the "dlrectress." Needless
to say the personality of the "di-
rectress" is of fundamental import
ance.
American Investigators who have
investigated the work in actual oper-
alton tell OF many interesting fea-
lures. The children appear to be
left entirely to themselves, yet order
in the best sense prevails. To large
extent each pupil is found engaged
according to his natural interest.
At certain times there are games in
common. I'm the game OF silence"
the children exert themselves to see
how absolutely quiet they can be.
A typical Montesorri Rprogram
consists OF informal conversational
periods; lessons with short rest in
tervals between; games, both free
and directed; simple gymnastics;
clay modelling: collective singing;
inspection as to personal cleanli-
ness, etc. Music, poetry and dane!
ing are used to develop the ychfId's
rhythmic sense. ut was found that
after the children had learned dane
ing they ceased instinctively the
ugly jumping they had been in the
habit aof$ doing. Although DR..
Montessori borrowed many OF the
ideas, and exercises for her system
from Eroebel. as she frankly admits,
her method lacks the touch OF mys-
ticism and the symbolic elements of
the Kindergarten The Z material
used. much of which was invented
by her. is carefully devised to, pro-
mote muscular coordination and
sense perception, the two directions
of functional growth in young chill
dreR.
Several American educators have
been abroad studying the work in
the MontessOri schools, and some at
tempts have already been made to
introduce the system into this coun-
try. 1t is NkeIy that other attempts
will be made in the near future.
