here declared today that the human

surprising manner. With the introduction Of the par

while Ia reports are yet avaHahlc. to indicate even
approximately the number of units handled, It Is
known that the biggest business in the history of the
department has been done during the past two or
three weeks. The warnings that were early sent out
to urge the people to- post their parcels in good
season were generally needed, and thus a large per,
centagc or the mail matter was disposed Of before
what is known as the Christmas rush in normal years
actually began. This was accomplished without much
extension of the service, so that in the last few days
by engagements of force it was possible to transport
and deliver almost on regular schedule everything
that was intrusted to the government for distribution.
This is an achievement of which the postmaster gen.

are entitled to congratulations upon passing this Sc.

Field of the Country Weekly

In an enthusiastic address before the North Da.
kota Press Association, Editor H.. P. Davies, of the
Grand Forks Herald, praises the country press
thusly:
Occasionally we run across the opinion that the
day ct the country newspaper is about over; that a
number Of changes have made the daily newspaper
SO easy to obtain that it is certain to drive the weekly
out of existence, as the small weekly cannot hope
to compete with the great daily and dts elaborate
equipment and. greater variety of matter.
If the country newspaper seeks to compete with
the city daily in the rapid treatment of the news Of
the day, it is bound to fail. 1t is not and cannot be
equipped for such a fight. But no such competition
is necessary. The country weekly has a field all its
own. which cannot be served by any other agency.
which the daily newspapers cannot touch. 1t is sur.
rounded by problems of local Importance which mean
nothing to the city proper. 1t has the opportunity
to cultivate close personal relations which mean 50
much, and in the absence of which the daily news.
paper can never become more than a paper of gen.
from competition with the city daily, it is because it
tries to cover a field which is really the field of the
daily, and negects to cultivate the field in which it
is and in which it must remain supreme
What the newspaper man of the northwest says
is true. The local editor has little to fear if he. is
always ION the job and carefully and zealously
espouses matters of welfare to the state and com.
munity and prints live, crisp news items Of interest
to home town people and residents of the vicinity.

Studying the Kindergarten

The kindergarten--its place in the. educational sys.
tenn, its social value to the community, and its
future development-is the subject of specia, study
by a newly organized division of the United States
Bureau Of Education. The new division, which is
made possible by a cooperative arrangement between
the National Kindergarten association and the gov
eminent, is directed by Miss Bessie Locke. secretary
of the association, with headquarters in New York
City. Miss Myra Winchester has been placed in
charge of; the work in the bureau.
The first published work of the division, which
will be ready in a few weeks, is a report on present
kindergarten conditions in the United States. The
report Will include statistics of public and private
kindergartens for the past year; opinions Of school
superintendent, supervisors. and primary teachers as
to the advantage possessed by the kindergarten
trained child over the child without such training;
and other material dealing with current school prob.
lens as affected by the kindergarten.
Most of the opinions so far received by the divi.
sion show an overwhelming sentiment in favor OF
kindergarten training for all public school children.
There are occasional adverse criticisms, but they are
surprisingly few. In the published report representa-
tive views opposed to the kindergarten will be given,
as well as those favorable. Particular attention will
be paid to the Montessori work and it's relation to the
kindergarten.

That many of the people. of Latin-America are
incapable of understanding the policy of decency
this country has pursued since the foundation Of the
republic was emphasized by tie demonstrations of
hostility by numerous citizens of Santiago, Chilli, on
the arrival efsnaformer president Of the United States
as a visitor. shrieks Of Down with American i'm
perialism" rent the air and the visitor was greeted
with all sorts of derisive cries. 1t became necessary
for the police to charge the crowd to clear the way to
a hotel. 1t is stated that the demonstration was in
part provoked by a series of articles in a paper print
ed in Spanish, filled with insinuations and open
charges Of imperialistic designs by the. United States.
Ever since the Cuban war this a~ntipathy has been
observed. Whether the cause of that struggle was
American disgust at the treatment of the natives Of
Cuba, whether, as Mr.. Taft has said, it was to abate
a neighborhood nuisance, or whether it was precip-
itated by the blowing up of the Maine, there can be
no division of opinion as to our disinterested treat
ment of Cuba following the war. History has no par
allel for our conduct toward Cuba, for whom indie
%pendence we spent hundreds of millions of dollars
and spilled our best blood. Cuba had no claims on
the United States except it's helplessness' and it's
geographical nearness. And Latin-America as a
whole is indebted to the Unitedd States for the indie
pendent existence of its several states. But for the
steady adherence of every American president to the
Monroe Doctrine during the last ninety years Central
and South American states would now be mere prov
inces of European powers. The United States has
often been a friend to these countries in spite Of
themselves, although in defending our course to Eu-
rope we have based it on conditions OF our own
safety. While only one European. country has form
ally recognizedsthr Monroe Doctrine as an established
principle of international law. none has persisted in
practical violation of it.
But it seems to be impossible for the Latin Amer
leans to conceive of a country adopting and main.
tanning our high standards. At every iteration Of our
disinterestedness they sheer. They insist on meas.
uring American purposes in Spanish bushels. And
the press of several of those countries feeds these
suspicious with inuendo. Having that little learning
which has been pronounced such a dangerous thing,
the Latin-Americans are easily inflamed by incendi-
ary articles in their newspapers. The suspicion that
some of these newspapers are subsidized by interests
that hope to profit by promoting their own COM
MERGE at the expense of that Of the United States
has been recently voiced. Whether there be any
ground for this or not, the frequent manifestations
of hostility toward US clearly indicate that the latin
Americans are not our kind Of folks.
