Association of their city and Of the
United States and were prominent in
the councils. They were at the fore

prevent their tthe employes) being tyr
annized over by paid business agents.
who would interfere with the employers'
business. More than 1000 clerks and
other employees contributed 2 per cent Of
their wages for years to a sick benefit
fund under the direction Of the proprie-
tors of these stores. Because they were
not organized the workers had nothing
to say as to the disposition of these
funds, and now that the stores have
failed the funds that were taken forci-
bly, from the employees have disappeared.

the Montessori method of edrca. N
a method which, at the present time, is
attracting attention all over the world
the Importance of mental and phys

emphasized. Following is a remarkable
passage in the article.
Il know a wonderful little boy who
used to ask to be allowed to go bum

of imaginative responsibility, and be
would come back with stories of all
sorts of adventure from WANDERING

down beach. There are very few ii
us who, when looking back, cam
think OF these moments of unchartel
play, and because they we've different,
and therefore to be suspected, they
were promptly checked And yet mo-
nents like this were the moments when
our inner spirits were most surely in
the making. The sad thing about this
is that once we are grown-up our tend
ncy is again to check promptly the I'M
comprehended play of our own chill
dren. Most of us poor mothers are SO
conscientious concerning the unsym-
pathetic toothbrush and so uncompre-
hendingly unconscientious in the way
we meet the reaching forth of the spir-

Messages for POsterity
Washington Post.)


Just why Kansas didn't think of it
first is hard to say. Be that as it NAV,
Ohio beat her to it. At least, two Ohio
mayors did, the occasion being nothing
less than the writing of letters FOR
the edification of their successors a.
hundred years hence. The letters have
been sealed and filed away, not to be
opened until the century has elapsed.
OF course, there may be no such off
Gals as mayors by that time. In the
face of the swiftly moving current of
events, these two show a more than
childlike confidence in the continuance
of existing institutions. That, however,
should make their missives of even
greater interest than otherwise, when
the time shall come for opening them.
Whatever degree of sophistication may
have been reached by 2O14, the readers
will have no grounds for doubling the
candor and simplicity OF the messages
handed down for their perusal.
One wonders, however, what partic-
ular benefit will be derived from their
contents. The idea is not altogether
new. 1t has been put into effect before
times. In fact, in days of despotic rule
those who hung on kings favors knew
better than to write their thoughts for
contemporary reading. Even old Sam
uel Pepys thought it safest to put much
inane and apparently harmless matter
in cipher. Scott and Lytton, and doubt
less others, have followed the same
fiction. Which recalls that the epistol-
airy style ran heavily and with drag
ging interest.
That there fill be thus preserved a
freshness and veracity regarding long
past events-which may have been the
intention of the two mayors-is to be
/ doubted. The near view is proverbia!-
ly unwise. Time alone clears away the
deadwood, and leaves the tall timber
unobscured What would letter from
Gen, Lee, after Monmouth, On the
character and destiny of Washington
be worth as accurate history? Many
opinions from members of the first
Continental Congress would likewise
be interesting rather than satisfactor-
lily Informative in the same respect.
How would the fame of Grover Cleve-
land loom up, portrayed by a sterling
Democrat in the early laps of his sec
ond administration?
| The Ohio mayors mean well, as any
one will readily admit. The chances
are, however, that their mysterious
contributions ON current history to the
coming generations will accomplish
little more than an addition to such
national gayieties as have superseded
the tango, green wigs, and the unpleas-
antness in Mexico, assuming that the
last named will have finally been adj
jLsted by that time.
