Let Your Children "See. With Their
Hands"

In the February Woman's Home Com
panion,. Mary Heaton Worse writes an
other article in her series entitled "The
New Freedom for Little Children" This
series is an account, with Illustrations,
OF the principles of the Montessori
method OF education as they may be
applied in American homes. Following
is an interesting extract showing the
tremendous use that little children make
OF their hands:
up to the age of five, children see
with their hands, that is to say, chill
dren's sense of sight, as well as their
memory of objects, is helped by touch.
The houses in which we live are full OF
objects which babies can break, or
which are harmful 10 them, so, as far
Jas possible. we stop our children from
educating themselves in this necessary
and natural way.
"In applying this principle in def
mite system of education Doctor Mon
tessori has advanced the development
of childhood more than we have had
time as yet to measure. Imagine what
"a thing ii would be for the human race
If it could suddenly have its sense of
touch restored, Poor sense of touch,
checked in its growth, and. undeveloped
in us when we were children, and lying
dormant ever since! And yet were it
what it should be to us, without it we
would feel half blind. Yet the only
answer most of us have for our babies
when they set about developing them
selves in this important way is, Don't
touch and sit still
1--WE do not utilize the ceaseless and
inquiring activities of our babies in
The way we should, nor give them the
things they themselves show us they
need for their development"

climb up on it. One day recently she
had INDUCED in this favorite pastime

mamma, crying as if In great pain. and
she said: "Oh. mamma. a great big

IN GRAIN DECISION.
Explanation OF Reno COunty's Recent
Decision.

Recent orders issued by the Reno
county district court does not prohibit
defendant milling companies from en-
gaging in legitimate milling business.
but prohibits them from associating
with or maintaining the Union Grain
company. Such was the statement to-
day of w. p. Montgomery, an assist
ant attorney general, who assisted In
the prosecution of the Hutchinson
custer suits.
THE courts decree Gusts the Union
Grain company from doing business in
Kansas and Gusts and prohibits the de-
PENDANT milling companies from any
connection or association with the
Union Grain company said Mont
gomery. ''Of course, the defendant
milling companies may pursue a legit-
innate business in Kansas unmolested
by the courts. The purpose of the suit
was to break up the illegal combf-
nation in restraint of trade and in vio-
lation of the antitrust law and the
order of the court accomplished this
purpose"

CITIES NEED HOME RULE.

Generally tho legislature groups tho
cities in Classes according to their
population. and then imposes a de-
tailed plan of administrative organ1-
zation and powers upon each class.
writes Oswald Ryan in The Popular
Science -Ionthly. This frequently
means that a particular city is saddled
with an administrative machinery ILL
fitted to it's local conditions, or with
administrative methods ill-adapted to
its local needs. Any one who is ia
miliar with municipal conditions
knows that even cities of the Same
general size often reveal the greatest
diversity Of conditions and needs, and
that what is good for one city if often
bad for another. Moreover, to i'm
prison the city in the strait-jacket of
uniform legislation checks it's inven-
tiveness, for it deprives it Of the op-
portunity Of wholesome experiment
with municipal methods. 1t impairs
it's individuality, for it takes from it
the chance to shape it's own life and
development. 1t lessons its sense of
responsibility, for 1t relieves it Of the
responsibility of working out its own
civic salvation. Common sense joins
with the principle OF local self gov
eminent in the demand that local
institutions be permitted to conform
to local conditions.
