aim of the kindergarten to do this
very thing.
Secondly, the school laws of most
of the states did not permit child
rem under six years of age to attend
school, but this is not reason for
its delay in the Northwestern states.
School men as a whole are in SYM
pathy with the kindergarten idea.
Our best proof of this is shown in
the fact that these states have laws
which provide for the establishment
OF kindergartens.
1--WE want the boys and girls OF
these northwestern states to have
every advantage, and to grow up in
conditions that will make the best
kind Of citizens OF them. We believe
that the kindergarten is the first step
in that direction. We feel and believe

cooperate with the earnest effort put
forth and that many are considering
the matter of establishing kinder

ton asked by Prof. F. H. Selden, OF
, the Manual Training department Of
the Normal school, in an article in
the current issue Of the Journal Of
Education, Boston. Prof. Selden
Offers an answer in these paragraphs:
"A course may be established in

academic" subject and, II it bears
the correct name and passes the In.
spection of those who establish it,
there is not likely to be any serious
criticism whatever may be it's re-
suits; but this is not so in teaching
drawing, handwork. farm carpentry,
or any other practical" subject. 1t
does not matter who planned the
course, who taught it, or who placed
their 20. K" upon it. The one and
only test is whether the course
makes good" in its relation to the
actual activities it has presumed to
teach.
This appears to he fact entirely
overlooked by large number of our
prominent educators. We see them
continually pointing to what is listed
in their course of study, and to the
teachers equipment provided, but not
appearing to realize that somehow
the work they claim to be doing
is not being accomplished. So very
persistent have these claims been
made in the face of the fact that
the work given the pupils does not
produce the desired result that many
friends OF both liberal" education
and a practical" education feel that
the line of least resistance is to
side-track the old line school men by
establishing new and more in
dependent system of schools.
"The writer believes that this ef-
fort to establish independent, or in
dustrial schools would never have
been seriously suggested had those
in charge of our present system re-
allied the fact that in teaching these
practical subjects the only test worth
while is the actual test of the pupil
after leaving school.
That some educators in promin-
ent positions should plead for an UNI
divided system of public schools is
no doubt very commendable, yet it is
also to be realized that in some cas-
es, at least, these same people are
doing more than the advocates of
special schools to cause this division
by their persistence in advocating
and, in their own schools to cause
this, compelling lines of work that
cannot by any stretch of the mag
ination promise to yield the returns
for which they are supposed to be
given.
"The best possible argument for
unity in our educational system is
to demonstrate that all. classes can
be well served without special
schools. 1T those in authority can
not make this demonstration then
there are but two ways open, either
to place others in charge OF our
schools, or to submit to special

Banana Eaters.

Americans used to be called nation
of pie eaters. Today more appro-
pirate term would be a nation OF ba-
mana eaters. The United States takes
more than two-thirds of the bananas
shipped to the handlers in the world.
Part Of this pre-eminence In banana
consumption Is due to geography; the
source of supply on the Caribbean rs
almost at our doors. Part is due to
accident; Boston skipper introduced
the American public to this tropical
fruit while 1t was still unknown in
Europe. Whatever reason one may
choose to give. the United States ia
the worlds chief banana market, and
though the use of this fruit is increas-
ing abroad. the American boy remains
