AIM OF THE KINDERGARTEN.

The ideal standard for every school
should be quality and not quantity;
process, not product; culture, not ac-
quirement, in order that the child
may leave school useful citizen. The
true purpose\of the kindergarten has
been to fit the child to enter upon
the relations of life. To this end he
has been taught self-control, obed-
fence to law, justice, respect for the
rights of his mates, and all those
virtues which will, when put into
practice, render him respectable,
useful member of,society. These vir-
tues planted in the kindergarten
must be carefully nourished and
made to grow in the primary school.

Letter of Appreciation.

A letter of appreciation thanking the women of Berlin for their splendid work in the Second Liberty Loan cam paign has been received by Mrs. Charles M. Jarvis of Worthington Ridge who was general chairman of the women's committees, from Alfred L. Aiken, chairman of the Liberty Loan committee of New England.
 The letter follows:
 "On behalf of the New England Liberty Loan committee, and the off, cers of the Federal Reserve Bank, I want to express to you our deep appreciation of the splendid service rendered by you and your associates in the last Liberty Loan campaign.
 T have felt that the importance of the Women's committees has not been fully recognized by the public, but my associates and I fully realize that the measure of your campaign was not in dollars alone, though that gave such splendid results, but was tremen- dously effective in >the educational campaign carried on by you.
 Tt has been 8 splendid patriotic service, and I am sure that the sac- rince and the labor involved will be more than compensated for by the consciousness of the very important and successful work that you and your committees have done.
 Permit me once more to express our deep appreciation, and believe mo to be,
 "Very truly yours,
 "A L. AIKEN,
 Chairman. Liberty Loan Committee" |"

 Three organizations and societies of the town have generously contributed to the fund. They are: Home Guards, Masons, and the Woman's Relief Corps. In addition the children of the school have responded in a com mendable manner raising $37.61 which was turned into the fund.-
 That the Boy Scouts are doing their "bit'' is evidenced by the following communication which has been sent to the Herald by Acting Scoutmaster E. s. Lackey: ... To the Citizens of Plainville:-
 Several scouts of Troop IA have pledged themselves to give $1O each, the money to be earned by doing odd jods, to the Y. M. c. A. fund"
 Any public spirited citizens who have odd jobs of any kind may notify Scoutmaster Lackey by phone or by mail and he will gladly send one of the scouts to do 1t. In this way the boys are to earn the money they have pledged and serve their country"
 "A prize of a $250 gold piece has been offered for the first pledge to be completely paid.
 This prize is to be won by strictly hard work and not by money that has been merely given the boys by their parents in order to help them win 1t.
 This campaign among the boys ends Saturday night but they have until April 1 to pay up.

 Compensation Case. After a lengthy hearing in the of- flee of Compensation Commissioner George B. Chandler in Hartford, yes- terday afternoon. an agreement in the case of Thomas Gallivan, of Portland, who was recently injured at the American Paper Goods factory. was reached.
 As there was doubt as to how he was hurt, decision was reserved by the commissioner. An agreement between the Employers Liability l company of New Haven whereby Gal livan would be paid all the expense that he had incurred was reached. At the time of the injury. Gall1van was sitting at hts machine on the third floor of the American Paper
 Goods plant when he suddenly felt g. 22 calber bullet rip its way into his
 left thigh. AS the factory foreman
 was present at yesterdays hearing and said that taking into considera-
 tion the height of the chair upon
 which Gallivan was sitting and the ] dimensions of the window through
 which the bullet was supposed to have entered the bullet would have to take
 most irregular course before it struck Gallivan. It is thought that
 possibly a piece of flying metal hit him. As the bullet or metal still is imbedded in Gallivan's thigh and as the commissioner was uncertain as to l this point and desired X-ray pictures i taken and wanted an engineer to take a diagram of the place where the 1 accident occurred, which entailed a l large expense, an agreement was 1 reached which proved satisfactory to , all concerned.

 War Fund.
 Determined to put an end to the rowdyism that has existed for the past several months in the waiting room at the Berlin railroad station, Judge George G, Griswold was se- were with Joseph Ventura, Nick Mas selli, Mike Flynn, James Shaw, Leon ard Root and Mike Hart, who faced him this morning on the charge of assaulting Robert Stephenson, night clerk. All were found guilty and fines of $10 and costs were assessed in the cases of Ventura and Shaw. and the other four were fined $7 and costs. In addition. each was sentenced to 30 days in Jail, but sentence was suspended on condition that they are not found lettering around the station within the next six months.
 Numerous complaints have been made by patrons of the railroad of the manner in which the boys have been conducting themselves about the station. A number of boys from Kensington and New Britain meet at the depot and pass uncomplimentary remarks about the passengers.
 According to Mr. Stephenson, the first witness for the state, the youths have been meeting frequently at the station and have been making a nui- sance of themselves. On Tuesday, |, when he ordered them to leave tho premises they refused to go, and / when he tried to eject them they as- saulted him. David Corbin, of Ken : sington, was in the waiting-room at the time of the assault and drove the boys away with his cane. He, cor roborated MT. Stephenso1ls testim ony saving that the boys are nuisance He said he saw Ventura strike MT Stephenson several times. Paul Vim cent, night bagga gemaster, testified that the boys have been causing trou- bic at the station all summer.
 In their own behalf, each of the accused said that he was assaulted by the night clerk and the members of the crowd were only defending themselves. Shaw, when asked if he was a member of the South Mair street gang in New Britain, indig- nanuy replied that he was affiliated with the Berlin depot gang.
 . In asking that a severe penalty be Imposed, Prosecutor Gibney called the boys "a gang of ruffians' and sai6 they should be taught lesson.
