SIR RRCER EASEMENT EXAMINED
CHARGED WITH HIGH TREASON

For hours on Tuesday morning,
.rowds Of people stood in line around
Row street police station waiting for
the resumption of the arraignment Of
Sir Roger Easement on charges OF
HIGH treason in connection with the
Sim Fein rebellion.
The little court was crowded with
IN five minutes after the doors were
ooeued and many hundreds OF men
and women were unable to obtain adj
mission.
There was some speculation today
as 10 whether Easements lawyers
would place him on the stand at this
preliminary hearing. 1t is generally
believed this will not be done. His
LAWYERS refuse to state whether they
will consider such a step.
The first witness of the day was
Mary German, typical Irish girl,
who was the first to identify Case
ment as one OF the men who landed
from the German submarine at Tralee.
She testified she saw three men pass

not send him to Jail.
The members of the jury in the

told to him.
IS. The linguistic and literary
education of the child begins in the
kindergarten.
Therefore the Office of the kinder
garter is to take stock of the child's
varied powers and acquisitions, and
to continue wisely the development of
them.
H. The kindergarten is premin-
emily school of observation and ex-
preston and so gives vital meaning
to the facts and events which the
Socriate says, that in every enter
prise the beginning is the main thing,
especially in dealing with a young
and tender nature. 1t is most plas-
tic, and into it, the stamps, which 1t
is desired to impress the deepest.
The point of attack in the recent
war upon illiteracy has been the high
school, it is absurd to place emphas-
is here. Much more vital, as making
or marring the child's literary tastes
and aptitudes, are the sensitive years
spent in the kidergarten, and primary
grades.

THE KINDERGARTEN
(By Miss Held

| for grade work
The kindergarten does prepare
children for the work of the first
grade, as the average child under six
years is not ready to enter upon the
work of the primary school, and tc
pursue the work to advantage
Before giving my points in favor
| of the kindergarten, l might ask
lew questions.
l. In what ways do you find the
kindergarten training of value as
preparation for the first years
work?
2. Do you find children from the
kindergarten more docile, and in
quicker sympathy with the teacher
than children who have not had this
training?
g. Have you traced the effects o.
such methods in any of the higher
grades?
4. Would you consider the kind
~ Ssti wi vi ~ III 81
its extension to all the schools?
The effects are not SO apparent ir
the higher grades, but exist as al
good beginnings carry with them {
power which gather power.
l. The child who has had the
kindergarten training enters the pri
mary department, weel prepared tc
do work He has confidence in him.
self to express his thought, and Is
not at a loss how to do seat work
The child from home is little strang
er in the first grade, but the kinder
garten child can, express his idea
by illustrations.
2. The kindergarten children arc
brought into relationship with theii
environment
3. They have learned to work ant
understand directions. His nature is
lroused, and his faculties quickened
He has ideas of form, color, of num-
Der. He has learned to think, express
his thought orally, and by means OF
material, he is ready for the next
5tep-writing and reading as means
Of expression. They are more res
ponsive, more alive to the moral as.
poets of a question, than those who
have not had the training. They
manifest as ageneral thing, more oi
the spirit of helpfulness and ready
sympathy toward both teacher and
their fellow pupils.
A. The kindergarten children are
more loving, tender hearted and
ready to take hold of the work of the
first grade
5. They are more easily lead and
governed.
g. They have better power to
visualize and so take up reading more
qicker.
7. The kindergarten child is in a
different mental and physical condi-
ton from the school child.
8. The kindergarten period covers
the age of child hood, and meets the
needs of children before they are
ready for school.
9. They are accustomed to being
away from home during regular peri
ods daily, and have best the dread OF
school and skyness:
10. Regularity and punctuality are
cultivated,
II. He has sense of work and
duty, and co-operates with those
about him.
| II. There is spirit of relation
ship formed between the child ane
teacher.
l3. His eyes have been trained to
observe; ear to note; tongue train
ed to careful utterance.

SPONSORS EQUINE BILL

Senator Key Pittman, of Nevada.
who is sponsor for the bill recently
introduced in the Senate calling for
an appropriation OF 100000 for the
purchase and maintenance of stations
to be used in the production OF horses
for agricultural and military purposes
had the following to say in discuss
ing the measure which has been re-
ferred to the Committee on Agricul-
ture and Forestry, oil which Senator
Gore, OF Oklahoma, is chairman.
II was actuated in the introduction
OF the bill by knowledge OF condi-
tions in my own State, where we
once had an abundance OF horses OF
an enduring type.
This belief was strengthened upon
Investigation continued Senator
Pittman. General Aleshire. the
Quartenmaster-G General OF United
States testiics before the Committee
on Military Affairs recently that not
more than 250,000 horses of the cava-
lery remount and light artillery types
are available for the uses OF our Gov
ernment at the present time, and that
of this number only 10000 are i'll that
condition where they could be press
ed into immediate service. These
figures were obtained by special
census taken in districts where the
Government remount stations are
situated and they furnish every Am
erican grave subject OF consdera-
tion. With purchasing campaigns
still being prosecuted the supply must
be lower to-day. Statistics at hand
indicate that we have lost since the
CO .nmencement of the Continental
war approximately 100000 horses
ard mules. and it is high time that we
set about replenishing these.
There are sections where good
horses may be reared economically,
and where there are special condi-
tons that tend to make for endurance
aul bone. Nevada is one of these,
and by reason OF its attitude and the
G aracter of the range. we develop
al animal of great muscular and lung
power. Our native mares should
mike an ideal cross for the thorough
Led sire. What Kentucky. Missouri
tennessee, Virginia. New York, Pen
rsylvania, Ohio, Montana, Illinois
ichigan. Vermont, and other horse
breeding States have done is a matter
a. history, and we could naturally ex-
pet cooperation from these and
o. er progressive communities.
The prepotency of the thorough
bed sire and the influence he would
Lave upon the general horse product
c the West was a prime factor in the
r1ssagc of a racing law in Nevada.

Il importations of English and

SCHOOL EXHIBITS
A GREAT SUCCESS

The annual school exhibit was
held last Friday. There was no
school in grade rooms that day,
in order that the teachers might
have time to make final prepara-
tons, and, the High School was
dismissed for the afternoon. TIL
prominent feature in the primary
display was the clever handwork,
consisting of weaving, hats, ham
mocks, rugs, etc., and the pretty
Dutch and Japanese scenes. In the
intermediate rooms the maps and
water color work were especially
noticeable. The Agricultural students
of the High School had each made
a farm plan for a three year rota-
ton crop, the EnggDish classes had
some of their written work on eX-
hibition, and the drawings of the
Physical Geography class We're also
shown. The manual training work
attracted great deal of attention,
and certainly showed off to good
| advantage.
The sewing of the Domestic
science classes filled the entire
