KINDERGARTEN
FOR NEGRO FOLKS
Commissioner Claxton APP
proves Plan that will be
Tried Out in the South.

Announcement is made by the
kindergarten division of the United
States bureau of education n Il a
demonstration kindergarten has re-
Gently been opened for coiored chill
dren at Chattanooga, Tenn. by the
National Kindergarten association,
cooperating with the bureau OF edu-
arily by Miss Bessie Locke OF New
York, in memory of her mother Jane
Schouler Locke. 1t is believed by
those familiar with Chattanooga and
it's people that it will be necessary
to support the demonstration kinder
garten there but a short time when
the local people will become sufficient
ly interested in this important work
to assume the care and maintenance
of the kindergarten, thus enabling the
demonstration to go to another city to
repeat the demonstration. A second
one will soon be opened i'll anther
southern city, which will be MAIN
tanned by Miss Elizabeth r.. Yelling
ton in memory Of her mother, Mary
d. Wellington.
DR.. Claxton, the United States COM
missioner of education, speaking OF
kindergartens for the colored race,
has said:
"Those who know the negro best,
know that he does respond to the In
fuences OF right education. If his
education is to have this transform
ing influence. should it not be begun
in early childhood: And what type
Of school is better fitted for this pur-
pose than the kindergarten? The
little negro is at least initiative.
Which school will most probably lead
him in the paths in which he should
walk-for his good, and ours-the
school of idleness on the streets,
among the dirt and filth of the negro
quarters of our towns and cities, or
the kindergarten with a woman of
culture and conservation as a teach
err? When we have done our full
duty by providing for u children
kindergartens and schools of all
grades and kinds. when the forgotten
child is remembered and the lost
wait" has been housed and redeemed.

some Causes of the Shortage.
The shortage of meat animals is
probably due to a number OF contri'

portant of these are:
The encroachnlent of farms upon

COLOMBIA WILL ELECT.
Interest in New President is Keen.

5oRota. Feb. THE United States
and Colombia will elect Il new presi-
dent next SUNDAY. Unusual interest
is manifested in the campaign. owing
TO the popular belief that the now
government is likely to come into
control Of a vast amount of money.
The general Impressions are that nc

the settlement of the Panama contro.
Versy will soon meet with success.
President Carlos Rostrepu, who
came forward as "a dark horse. az
he last election and was elected by
a commission Of liberals and repub-
leans. is prohibited by the constitu-
ton from being reelected. Jose Vi

conservatives. The regular liberal
candidate is DIR. Nicholas Esguero.

parts Of the country, in proportion to

production and the increased con-
sumption or demand arising from the
fact that production has not kept
pace with the increase in population,
II in h case Of cattle and sheen
has actually declined. 1t is well
known that producers of farm prod
ucts are the last to receive any bene-
ut from higher prices paid by con-
sulners, vet they r among the first
to increase production il there Is a
prospect of realizing better returns.
The very fact h a there is a present
shortage of nearly 10, 900, 900 meat an
imals in the United States since the
census of 1910 indicates clearly that
the business is not profitable to pro-
ducers; otherwise every farmer and
stock raiser in the country would have
increased his herds of meat animals.
1t should also be borne in mind that
the estimated average value Of meat
animals is their value on the farm,
and not the wholesale or retail value.
The farm value, or average price
received on farms, is much less than
the wholesale prices and considerably
less thai the retail prices to consum-
crs.
Just what the difference is between
the price at the farm and the cost to
the ultimate consumer is not definitely
known, as the Strengthening records
are not definitely deterninable at this
time . The total cost to the consumer
is made up of the cost Of production
of h live stock (farin price,, the
cost of marketing and transportation
of the live animals, the cost Of manu.
facturc into various kinds Of meats,
and the cost of marketing and dis
tributing the manufactured products
to the consumer.

The estimates indicate that the
number Of milch COWS on farms I'M the
United States is now 2O.737,0 900, an
increase Of about one-half Of one per
cent over the census figures Of 1910.
Meanwhile the average farm price of
milch cows has increased ron $35.7s
in 1910 to $500, or an increase of
50.7 per cent. On this basis the farm
value of mich ows now in the Uni
ted States is estimated at ~s1,11S,4S7,-

value in the census year Of S73S, 1884,

The estimates for January 1. 1914.
indicate that there are 20,955.000
horses and 4..447. 900 mules on farms
in the United States, an average an

Of 1910. 1t is estimated that the
average farm price Of horses has in
creased from s10s.19 in the census
year to slO9.3 3 in January. 1914. and
in the case of mules from $119.S4. to

The actual figures of decrease Or in

not take into consideration the in
crease in the population of the United
States. and therefore do not show the
difference in the ratios between meat
animals and population as between
January. 1914, and the census year of
1910. The report Of the last census
shows a population in 1910 of 31.-

make the population in 1914 equal to
