following selection from Mrs. Berry mans al tiele:
 "1,et us try to convert those who are not informed as to it's merit. True, the cultured parent sees to the character building of her child but often there are exceptions even in the cultured home, in character building; but the cultured parent already realizes the benefits of kindergarten training, and has generously patronized these pri- vate institutions of child culture.
 Tt is the child of the masses and classes who will profit by the kinder garten.
 Again, the Kindergarten teacher must be better equipped than most teachers, for the requisites are certif- icates and diplomas from institutions of learning and rigid examination in order to enter a kindergarten training school
 The special study of science as ap- piled to human nature, especially psychology. fits the Kindergarten teacher to better understand the lit tie life entrusted to her, than any one except a mother.
 Through continued practice and study the principles of science are ap- piled at the psychological moment with wonderful results.
 The baby of years is a reason ing, though often an unreasonable soul The little stubborn minds are here made to unfold and reflect the bright unselfish spirit of happy child hood in the kinderGartens own way
 Many selfish. spoiled children as- tonish their parents by beautiful de- pertinent and generous impulses after short session in Kindergarten train ing.
 "The little oourtesies that are taught in play, the noble impulses that are aroused. the desire to be of service to one's neighbor-these are some of the lessons in Kindergarten training that may not be acquired under the con ditions that govern the school room of the larger child
 "A number of phiianthropic women all over the state are organized for sup porting kindergartens for the poor
 "Mr. and Mrs. T. c. Parker for three or four years financed and operated two kindergartens. one at South Ma con and one at Payne's mill, with won- derful results.
 Macon should be proud of such as- sets in character building, as furnished by these citizens.

ALASKA FIS.aERy EXPERTS CD

This is the season of the year when
 most men who make the comparative y short round-trip to Southeast Alas '<a or who are coming out from Alas ka for short vacation, feel called upon by some mysterious inner influ- ence to pose as experts on the fish cries of that vast territory. They may be just plain tourists, or bar tenders, miners or clerks, or latorers who have at best but hay acquain tance with the industry, yet as ~oNr as they fall into the hands of the ubiquitous hotel reporters, they bios som out. into fishery experts, and the trend of their remarks generally are to the effect that an enormous pack is being put up by the cannerfes
 ed along a coast line of some 12,000 miles, with many parts of which com munication is slow and uncertain, and when men who are heavily interested in the industry, and this journal, which represents the industry and annually spends thousands of dollars in gath ering and disseminating accurate in formation about it, find it exceeding ly difficult to secure such during the canning season, it can readily be ap- preciated how much value should be attached to the vaporings of the al legged experts noted above. Unfortu- nately, the country at large does not know the persons interviewed, and thus is unable to separate the wheat i from the chaff, and as result much harm is done through salmon iobbers and retailers throughout the country taking the statements contained in these interviews as true reports of the condition of the industry.-Pacif- ic Fisherman.

MILD CURING IN CALIFORNIA

Mild curing operations In Califor nia are now limited to Monterey bay district, and it is understood that the pack there is rather light. Conditions there have given rise to some dis satisfaction throughout the season. First, before the run started, there was long controversy between the packers and fishermen about the price of fish This was finally settled by the signing of contract under the terms of which all fish caught by both Japanese and white unions were to be delivered to the F. F. Booth company, which agreed on a stipu- lated price for term of years. Early in July there was complaint of this contract being broken and packing was interrupted few days, but soon started again. The fish have been small until recently but toward the end of July the catches improved in quantity and size of fish.-Pacific Fisherman.

WHEN THE WAR
 SHALL BE OVER

The great war will close after a while. We wonder if in the breasts of the rulers of those countries there is not an unspoken fear of what will come then.
 When those who remain make lists of their dead, of those so maimed that they will be a perpetual tax upon the strong while their broken frames last; of the debts which they are mortgaged to pay interest on all their lives, what will the summing up of the unspeakable wrongs which have come to these people be7
 One would think that evangels would spring up in every land to paint the picture of those wrongs and to demand a new deal.
 A deal in which never more could kings obsessed by a love of power, of conquest, of unearned loot and lands, of glory reeking with blood; of fame red with blood and ssadowed by broken hearts; would be squelch- ed forever.
 What year ago did the peasant in his shed by the Don hold in enmity a. gainst the peasant in his shed by the Danubes
 What enmity did the Frenchman with his little three-acre vineyard on the Loire or the Italian on the Pc hold against the German peasant with his cows and goats on the Elbe7
 What was there ill all contentious that distracted the rulers of Europe that commission of business men could not have settled justly year ago7
 Is it not true that justice was not what was soughta
 And was not the impelling cause behind all, the belief that was de- sired could be won through possess ing more and more effective means of killing the simple dupes who do the fighting and dying than the other side possessed?
 That is the game as old as the world. It started in the stone age and the principal then invoked was that might made right.
 Has that been changed with the rolling centuries? Have increased learning and enlightment done aught ex- cept to teach men the art of scein- tific war and create new and more formidable engins of destruction.
 Has Christianity done aught except to give zealots new excuses for wholesale murder that the domains of

ALBATRoss SEEKING NEW
 FISHING BANKS

The U. s. bureau of fisheries steam CT Albatross reached Seattle on July l5, having come from San Francisco, where she spent the winter to en- gage in further investigation of the known banks lying off the coasts of Washington and Oregon, and to look for alleged new banks in the same re- zion. This investigation is to be a continuation of the one undertaken last summer, report of which has been published recently by the Bureau. The steamer is commanded by It. Com. J. J. Hannigan. The civilian corps aboard consists of the following: E. c. Johnson, naturalist, and E. P. Rankin, scientific assis- tant, who are stationed aboard per manently, and Edward Driscoll and four practical fishermen, who ship ped at Seattle and will do the prac- tical fishing work. As soon as pos olDlc dl btf buc u tHt NcSStl stores were taken aboard together with the necessary fishing gear, bait, etc., and the vessel steamed for the new bank off the mouth of the Col umbia river on July 19. As the yes sel was coming north short stop was made over this bank and partial delimitation of it made. This indi cated that the bank is U shaped, with the open end to the westward, and deep gully in the middle. Later investigations may change the shape somewhat.
 Since her last visit here the AL batross has been fitted with an cleo tric sounding machine, which per- mits of vastly more rapid work than with the old hand sounding machine formerly in use.-Pacific Fisherman.
