THE PURPOSE OF THE
KINDERGARTEN.

In speaking of kindergarten we
often think of it only as a place
where the little child spends a lew
hours playing and lose sight OF
the real value and purpose.
The early years of childhood
ought to be so spent that they will
prove of value to him as he grows
older and this the kindergarten
endeavors to help him dc. In the
child lie all the elements which if
we interpret and feed properly
will some day be developed and
will be of service to him
The love of play is the
predominant interest of the child
his play is his work, just as a
mans business is his work, so it is
upon this that the kindergarten
builds.
Because of his love to play no
coercion is needed to bring the
child TO kindergarten. He is
facinated by the games. blocks, the
sand table, and is charmed by the

CAR of The CUMBERLANDS
By MISS GRACE SISSON
from Peoples Home Journai.)

(From Peoples Home Joumai.l
A story founded right in Mt.
Vernon and will be interesting
reading TO those who remember
we'll the school days of Mt Vernon
at the time Miss Sisson was a
teacher in our schools.
No doubt at first Miss Hardin
found it necessary to rule with a
rod of iron. When she took
charge Of the school in the Cum ber-
lands it had fallen into chaos or
rather pandemonium. 1t took
sudden ID heroic measures to
bring Ties. untaimed mountain
youths r..to state of discipline.
Miss Hardin brought the charge
wrought it by pure force of will.
In less than a week every pupil
walked lightly on tiptoes, trembled
at a piercing look from her eyes,
and Jumped at her word of com
mand
But even then there must have
been some attractive power in
Miss Hardin, some force besides
discipline and tear; for the school
increased steadily from twenty
pupils to two hundred.
But power, like ambition, feeds
upon itself and is likely to come
to grief. Miss Hardin had grown
so rigidly tyranulcal long after
such iron rule was necessary, th"t
both in the school and the nearby
town she was called the Gar OF
the Cumberlands. p
A tireless worker herself. she
drove her pupils and teachers
mercilesslv. She was scathing in
the denunciation of failure, and
seldom nraised. She allowed no
excuse, and tolerated no whining
A soldier worthy of Napoleon-a
woman of wonderful ability
But her love of power carried
her too far. A sense of injustice
began to rankl in her pupils
and teachers: Her sccrn for
failure often burned the very

The pupils tiptoed info the
chapel everv morning and
slipped into their seats while she
stood rigidly on the platform with
the book of Proverbs before her.
See always read from the Proverbs
the passages that praised wisdom.
extolled diligence and denounced
fools. The bravest boy or girl i'll
school trembled when she pointed
an accusing finger. But under all
this craven submission smoldered
indignation at her injustice,
threatening an upheaval that might
wreck the really marvellous re-
suits she had accomplished.
One morning she closed the
book of Proven bs and turned to
the school to impress the lesson
by some personal example of
failure.
This time she chose little Ivan
Hitchcock, whose duty it was to
sweep the chapel. Ivan had not
put in appearance that morning.
He may be SICK" Miss Hardin
repeated, in her smooth, sarcastic
tones. docs that excuse him?
If you have duty to perform, it
is your business to perform it,
whether you are sick or we'll. If
you can't you should certainly
send some one to explain your
absence.
Garry this into your business
life. Suppose some man. the
station agent for a railroad, were
to shut up the telegraph Office
and not 60 back nor send any
word the next morning. Would
the company retain him in their
employ? Of C purse not.
"Walter"-Miss Hardin pointed
to a boy who rose, frightened and
embarrassed-did you ever heal
of railroad taking such a man
back?"
mo, Miss Hardin"
She turned to the other side Of
the room.
"Leta May, did your"
Leta May, who had only seer
one telegraph operator in her lie
assured her that she never had.
"Mike"-and big eighteen-yeal
old Mike rose at the back OF The
room and held on to the seat fol
support-"did you ever hear Of
a railroad taking a man back who
was not at his post of duty or
time or did not send any wordl"
No, Miss Hardin" Mike
gulped and sat down.
Then she looked straight al
Chester Landon; straight, clear
faced, dark-eyed boy, the brightesI
gentlest, most chivalrous boy il
school.
"Chester Landou, did such a
!; thing ever come under your
observation"
Chester stood, as pale as death,
his lips working.

Good Roads move and men from
out of the county who claim dear
old Rockcastle as their home.
Judge R. G. Williams, of Coving,
ton, KY, Judge Burgess Be-

send their best wishes for the
great move that is being made by
the progressive people of Rock
castle and say they are for it
both soul and body. The tele-
phone line running into head
quarters are kept busy wanting to
get information on the great
question of working the roads by
taxation. everybody seems to want
to know whether if the resolution
passes they will have to continue
working the roads by the militia

making the roads by the MALTA.

AN APPEAL TO THE LABOR
ING MAN.
There comes cry for better
roads from every school district in
the county, so what shall we do
is the great question. Shall We
continue to leave our work and
axe upon our already tired
shoulders the burden OF the pick
and shovel and 20 forth to work
six long days on the road, when
often times we need our daily
earning to stop the cry of hunger
from a sick child left behind with
a patient mother? Is it Just and
right for such man wnen he
absolutely owns not a hoof of
stock, nor shelter for himself
and little family to have to
perform such tasks, when on the
other hond it often times happens
the man OF wealth is sitting on
his lounge OF ease watching us
poor laborers as we 60 by to serve
our time as it is often called by
the men OIL the roads, and says to
himself poor fellow he has a hard
time of it. 1 am sometimes glad
l am too old to work it, but
listen you never get too old nor
too wealthy to pay your tax So
why, oh why, my fellow laborers
don't you see this like l do and
we WI put the burden on the
shoulders of the men that are
often both financially aud amply
lble to bear it IN short make the
man pay for tie roads who has
the mouey, another thing did You
ever stop and consider how much
IL costs us 10 put in our times On
the roads? If / don't work it N.Y.
SELF 1t will cost me $3.50 per day
or So tor six days work which
would be enough 10 pay my tax
fer several 1ears. Now fellow
laborers look into the matter and
see if l am not right, suppose our
schools of today were kept up by
the militia as we call it woulden't
they De in pretty fix if we
worked at that like some do on
he roads. The man that has the
wealth is the man that pays the
tax which keeps up the schools
md why don't the same rule apply
70 our roads as school and roads
go hand and hand, and again l
have been told by the sheriff that
he Rail Road Company and the
farnchi-e to will pay something
like half of all the taxes of the
county. Now lets be smart
enough to vote Oct. 20 1912 to
loosen our letters and put the
burden on the shoulders that are
able to bear it without a grOan.
Yours for pixies,

A county fair should always
be the occasion of a general in
termingling of the agricultural
and commercial interests and
representatives of city and coun-
ty, resulting in a commingling in
spirit and association represent
ing more than simple and sordid
dollars. To that end every mer
chant, or one member of each
firm, should be in attendance at
the fair every day, leaving the
business of the house to its en-
ployees. This plan, if adopted,
will rebound to mutual interest
of farmer and merchant, and
vastly increase the city's trade.
The merchant who adopts this
rule will find it the 'livest wire"

What Good Roads Mean to a
Community.

First, they mean a decrease
expense in hauling produce to
market and in getting goods
home from town. A farmer in
Sullivan. Tenn, in 1908 had to
haul barbed wire from Kings
port to- Bristol, a distance of
twenty-five miles. He found
that with a two-horse team the
largest load he could draw was
$50 pounds and that three days
was necessary to make the trip.
To haul one ton, therefore, took
twelve days. which, reckoned at
three dollars a day for man and
team, was an expense of thirty
six dollars. A bond issue was fl
nally made and the strip of road
over which he had hauled the
wire was improved so that the
same team can haul a ton to the
load and make the round trip in
two days. at a cost of six dollars.
In Madison county, Tenn, be-
fore the roads were improved a
bale of cotton was a load for a
team. Now the same team can
haul ten bales to the load in less
time. Figure it out.
Second, good roads improve
farm values. A farmer in Lee
county, Virginia, owned a tract
Of one hundred which he
offered fors 81, 500. In 1908 the
road past his farm was improved
ami though he fought the i'm
proyement, he has since refused
900 for this place. On this
lame road a tract increased from
so. UUO to S9,UUU In ya'ue AFTER
the Improvement of the high
way.
Third, road Improvement
means better access to schools
and better schoo s. 1t means
the fertilization of the rural mail
service, which is now seriously
hampered in many places by the
condition OF the roads. 1t also
means 4 better and more attrac
tive COUNTRY and a consequent
lesseninA of the cityWard drift of
rural population. Let Us have
more good roads. They are worth
while. -Sputhern Agriculturist.
