THE CHILD DERIVES MANY BEN
EFITS FROM A KINDERGAR.
TEN TRAINING.

In the kindergarten every part of
the child is developed, and he is put
on a social basis. First of all the
kindergarten has regular plan of
work; a subject being selected for
each days work, and all subjects be-
ing selected with reference to the
child. The subjects start with the
child's interests and then broaden
out, leading the child into community
life and enabling him to see the ser
vice done there.
The second thing for the days plan
is the circle work" Here the sub
ject for the day is introduced and dis
cussed Many times circle plays are
given making the subject seem more
real to the child. If no circle play
is possible, then a visit to the place
mentioned, or story about the place
always proves valuable.
Gift work in the Kindergarten gives
the child even a clearer view of the
subject. In gift the child expresses
his impression either by means of
blocks, clay or some outside material
Rhythm is one of the most valuable
things in the Kindergarten. Every
child has rhythm in him. 1t is an in.
stinct which can be put to such good
rsuage in the child. Through rhythm
the child gains a coordination of mus
cles and regular habits are estab-
lished. Each day ten minutes is de.
voted to rhythm. This period serves
as a recreation period for the child.
and at the same time he is gaining
valuable training.
Occupation is another means for
the child TO express his image. The
image may be expressed by drawing,
modelling, free-cutting, painting, or
some form of constructive work. The
child must express his image in many
ways before it is made clear to him.
The last period in the kindergarten
is given to games. The games are Sc
lected with reference to the subject
chosen for that day. Again, in games,
the child gains coordination of his
muscles, attention and alertness.
Through games the child merely has
another way of expressing his image.
Through the whole course the child
gets system of regular habits; his
powers of attention and alertness are
trained, and best of all he is taught
the suppression of self for the sake of
others. This is one of the largest
things which will aid society.
Now is the time to enter your child
in kindergarten. Let him have the
benefits of a good foundation, and
watch his development.

HOLDS OFFICERS AT BAY.

Oscar Burns, notorious negro
thief and bad man" Friday night
held at bay with a rifle four police
officers while he and three confed-
crates escaped after an attempted
wholesale robbery of brass journals
in the Texas and Pacific yards in
McDonoghyille.
Patrolmen Miller and Strauss of
the Gretna police force and Special
Officers Louis Fist and Andrew Nc
Cracker of the railroad, were "cov-
cred" by Burns with the rifle and
prevented from drawing their wea-
pons.
Burns headed the gang that was
robbing the cars when the officers
came up. The police had been given
Tip" that a robbery would be at
tempted at 10 o'clock, but it was
some time before that that the gang
got started, it is believed, as, in
their hurry to get away, they left
behind their booty, consisting of
nine brass journals, valued at
1886.

Last Sunday morning the pastor,
Rev. c. c. Weir, spoke from Genesis
500: The harvest is past, the sum-
mer's ended and we are not saved"
The speaker referred to the matter
of lost opportunities with their bar
rem regret and urged the hearers to
use every opportunity to the greatest
advantage. The text at night was
Mark 6:5: And He could there do
no mighty works, save that He laid
His hands upon a few sick folk and
healed them" The speaker empha-
sized how the Savior had returned
to His old home in Nazareth and had
not there received any attention.
At night the Epworth League held
a missionary service, led by Mr.. Paul
Malone. 1t was very instructive.
The Sewing Circle met at Mrs. j.

Dear Sir: 1t is indeed a great re-
lief to me, as well as to most of the
people of Algiers, I presume, to see
that at last some active interest is
being taken in the matter of rene
diving our most unsatisfactory ferry
system. 1t has long been a mystery
to me. with the conditions under
which the ferries have been operat-
ed, that the people of Algiers did
not rise in righteous Indignation as
a mass and demand better boats and
service and cheaper fare, which Is
nothing more than their right. Al
giers is handicapped enough in its
commercial progress by its location
without having TO contend with poor
and expensive ferry service. and
with this additional burden, how in
the name of goodness can il make
any advancement? The people OF Al
giers have certainly been patient
with the ferry companies, and espe-
cially with the Third District ferry
company, where for over a year the
service has been unspeakably mis-
cradle and now that the opportu-
nifty presents itself to better con-
ditions, all the people OF Algiers
should put their shoulders to the
wheel and not stop pushing until We
get what is right and fair and what
we ought to have had twenty years
ago. l personally will do all l can
to help the good cause along, and if
ten thousand others in Algiers. who
are equally interested. will do the
