DON'T WALK THE TRACKS.

ABUSING THE EFT.

AS a result OF an exhaustive study
made by committee of police sur
eeons In an endeavor to prevent de-
formed feet among the members OF
the New York police force, the police
commissioner has issued pamphlet
designed to aid the policemen in ov-
grooming these defects.
The three conditions most preva-
lent among the New York policemen
were weak feet, flat feet without pain
and flat feet with pain. The most
common causes of flat feet, according
to the physicians, are improper shoes
and faults In standing and walking.
Diagrams and illustrations are pre-
sented, showing that the policemen's
work compels them to stand on their
feet or to walk slowly for long
periods, their foot muscles therefore
getting little exercise and consequent.

VALUE OF THE KINDERGARTEN.

VALUE OF THE KINDERGARTEN.
The value of the kindergarten as
tested by its results is discussed bT
Miss A. NJ. Winchester in an annual
review of kindergarten work just Is
sued by the commissioner of education.
For several years investigations
|haye been undertaken in different
cities" says the review, "for the pur.
pose of ascertaining the advantage
gained by children with kindergarten
training over non-kindergarten chill
dren. The emphasis in these investi-
cations has been placed usually upon
the rate of speed with which the chill
dren make the successive grades"
"The fallacy of drawing conclusions
from such surveys says Miss Win
chester. IS manifest at once. 1t Is
well night impossible to gauge the
speed correctly, because in the first
grade both kindergarten and non
kindergarten children are placed TO-
gether, and by the rule Of uniformity
which seems necessary in school sys
TENS, the teacher unconscfousiy stand
ardizes the progress Of her class. The
laegards are brought up by dint y;
conscientious work, and the forward
ones are held in leash, so that by the
time the fifth or sixth grade is reach
ed, whatever special impetus may have
resulted from the child's kfndergare
en- training has ceased to be measur-
able.
.In any event the permanent value
of the kindergarten has little II any
connection with the number OF years
required to so through the grades
The kindergarten's concern Is with
the content of the years rather than
with their number, with the fullness
of the life of the child rather than
with the mere economy of time Pow.

An investigation about to be under
taken by, the International Kinder
garten Union In this field, Miss Win.
chester points out, will involve making
a study In several different cities OF
one set of children who entered kinder
earten five years ago and another SET
in the same school who did not at
