HOW TO REAR STRONGER CHILDREN
EXPERT Tells Of Her EXPERIENCE
HAVE SANDPILE IN THE BACK YARD

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 81 Back
to the SOIL" is the better babies an
swer of Prudence Brown, who initiated
and taught the first public kindergar-
ten in California
By the soil, Mrs. Brown means
sand pile in the hack yard.
"a sympathetic study of child ma
ture will prove to any one that what
they need is not starched frocks and
immaculate finger nails, but plenty of
sand, clay, water and sunshine"
Mrs. Brown bases her knowledge up
ON rs years teaching and experience
in the role of mother and grandmother.
Il would as soon deprive child Of
food as of contact with the earth.
Mothers should put a sandbox in the
apartment or fiat if they have no back
yard.
II am an advocate of natural educa-
ton. The part of the teacher is mere
ly to make response to the child and
to provide means of expression. The
child's only avenue of expression is N
plastic material, such as sand, clay and
paper, and If the child is to develop
properly, physically, morally and men
tally, these things should be within
easy reach.
1.-THE spirit of Montessori and Froe-
bel should be in every home and school
room. Child gardening, which should
be the most joyful work in the world,
has become burdensome drudgery with
overworked and over-weary teache

Mrs. Brown is a graduate of the Ma
tional Kindergarten college n Chicago,

LABAMA WILL
DEMAND CLOSE
TRACK INSPECTION
STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION
WILL TAKE ACTION; RECENT
CENTRAL DISASTER A WARN
ING.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 21.-(Spec-
ial.) 1.-THE recent wreck on the Central
of Georgia dailraw at Clayton will re-
suit in some action by the Alabama
railroad commission for a more sys-
tematic inspection of railroad tracks
il. this state, in the opinion OF Edgar
B. Kay, consulting engineer of the
commission, who has just returned to
Montgomery with Chas. Henderson,
president of the commission, from an
investigation of the wreck.
Mr.. Kay will submit detailed re-
port to President Henderson. The
latter has not announced the course
he will pursue, but he indicates that,
at an early date, he will call a confe :
ence of railroad representatives liz
Montgomery to consider stringent
rules. The authority of the commits
sion, however, is in doubt and it may
require more legislation to procure the
needed precautions.
Engineer Kay believes that railroad
tracks in Alabama should be inspected
Systematically and that railroads
should be made to conform to certain
standards in order to keep accidents at
a minimum. The safety of human life
he thinks, goes ahead of everything
else in railroading. He advocates that
the state should procure what is
known as a dynamameter car which
automatically registers the condition
of the track as it passes over the
rails.
He thinks that the railroad commits
sion should have power to employ
some one to make these inspections.
At present there is no money available
for this purpose, and it may be neces-
sary to have additional legislation IN
order to provide the machinery.

NEGROES TO COLOMBO

Atlanta, Nov. 21.-Atlanta negroes

The first negro emigrants, it 8
