of old world kindergartens. Mr.. Rash
is the new pastor of the church, who
arrived in Topeka a few months ago.
He has travelled abroad and visited
schools and kindergartens in Ger

of Europe, and he visited the famous
Froebel kindergarten, which was

originator of the kindergarten system.
The kindergarten he founded was the
very first kindergarten in the world

Quite number of Topeka people
went down to Kansas City to see the
parade put on there for the benefit
of The French ENJOYS and the great
General Joffre. They do say that the
famous hero, the general, got less at
tention from the women than the little
F'renchman who is known as the
Blue Devil" His exploits have made
him famous, and say, but he made g
hit with the ladies. He passed in
the parade with his funny cap cooked
en- folk are still raving over him.
