Stock Exchange there was a plenti-
iul supply of call money at S to 6
per cent, despite the larger demand
that developed with the broadening
out of the stock market. The banks,
apparently, however, are continuing
to confine their loans for stock mar
kct purposes to day to day demand
accommodations, and for that reason
the offerings of funds for fixed pc
RODS are extremely limited. In
banking circles increasing tension
is looked for in the money mar
ket until after the middle of
June, owing to large demands that
will shortly be made upon banking
resources. On May % 20 per cent
lnstalment will be due on the third
Liberty Loan, and experience in the
two preceding loans has demon
strated that large portion of the
subscriptions will be paid in at that
time. Meanwhile the heavy income
tax payment will have to be met. as
the last date on which such pay
ments may be made is June Is, and
the final rush is expected to reach
extraordinary proportions. Last
week the banks found it unnecessary
to avail themselves of the rediscount
privilege to such large extent as
recently, and the amount of paper
discounted and bought by the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of New York de-
creased about $75,OOO,Ooo, in round
numbers.

New-York tribune., 1918-05-20

The bond market continued to re-
fleet substantial improvement during
the week, prices Of the better class
of investment issues moving in SYM
pathy with the upward trend in the
stock market. New York City bonds
displayed pronounced strength at
times and current quotations repre-
sent an advance Of a to 5 points
compared with the lower levels es-
tablished early in the current year,
when the general bond market was
still under the influence of liquidat
ing sales. Foreign government is
sues were firm and in some cases
new high prices for the year were
established, the Anglo French S per
cent bonds rising to SO early in the
week. The action of the market for
Liberty Loan issues has been some
what disappointing and the new AIS
declined substantially below par. 1t
is believed, however, that the United
States government bonds will in time
become more thoroughly digested,
and there will then be less likelihood
OF such large offerings. This should
at least be true Of the last loan,
which has been so we'll distributed
among small investors throughout
the country. Taking the bond
market as whole it is interest
ing to note that prices of the best
investment securities are now selling
at level from to 10 points above
the prices touched during the period
of liquidation. Bond men do not 20
so far as to predict that the liquida-
ton of prime investment securities
is completed, although they believe
that the more confident feeling in
security market circles should tend
to reduce offerings and should on the
other hand stimulate larger pur-
chaSeS. IL is pointed out that one of
the best features of the situation is
the paucity of new security issues.
Outside of the Liberty Loan bonds
there has been practically no long
term financing for months, while the
offerings of short term note issues
have not been large. Last week
some small new issues were offered
ty the bankers and more are expect
ed, although the movement is not
likely to reach, large proportions,
owing to the high interest rates that
| such issues must carry in order to
attract buyers.

 Kindergarten work has progressed within the past few years just as every other line of educational work has pro- gressed," Miss Lenk said "The individ- uality of the child, his personality, is em- phasized more particularly now. The old sewing methods of perforated cards and embroidery are now discarded for more practical sewing and the large block games and exercises are especially attrac- tive.
 'The function of the kindergarten is to immediately prepare the child for school life and to lay the principles and founda- tions which will be of use in later life, Miss Lenk continued, thus giving the child his happiness, found through re- specting the rights of others and working for the greatest gooa 10 the greatest number.

Studying the child life and re- alizing it's needs inspires a teacher with originality and ideas of her own. The Montessorri method emphasizes, as we ali know the physical aspects of the train ing rather than the mental training. A happy combination of both seems to me to be the best plan, although I lay great stress in my work on physical exercise, especially out-of-door exercise. The beautiful lawn that we have at the Acad- emy of Music will afford-even on the coldest winter days adequate opportunity Tor open air work, folk dances, games and singing"

 ''The conservation of child life, it's progress and it's stimulation, has never been of more importance than today, when the world is in such a state of chaos and confusion. Our child life must be encouraged, cared for, and uplifted, so that in the future our men and women when called upon to encounter wars ravages and destruction, will be in a po- sition to meet the emergency from every angle. Our music, for instance, gives the child at the early age of (for earlier than this feel that it is not wise to send a child to kindergarten unless he happens to be an unusual type) the inspiration of it's influence.

A H1OST important in Americas citi- lIWIl zenship today is-the child; the SVe present world war has, developed extent; our young men from IS to 30 have been 'at the front" for many months battling for democracy and freedom; our women are at home caring for their babies to help husbands, fathers and
 loved ones of a more advanced age have been called to the colors, so 1t behooves America to tend faithfully and care fully her chldren-our future citizens who must take the place of the men now engaged in warfare.
 A healthy childhood means a healthy old age, and unless a child is taken in hand at the very beginning-when his little body is young and pliable as we'll as his little mind, there are serious complications which occur later which are very hard to remedy.
 Back in the old days kindergarten" was regarded as novelty-a luxury for the child: aesthetic and folk dancing were not even so much as heard of; the physical training which child now receives and demands is an entirely new phase of school work; but, what has haLpened2 Froebel, who scores Of years ago originated and worked out the prop lem of child welfare and child life, real ized the importance of kindergarten work and -tathered' it; the Montessorri came later, and as with all pioneer movements there was al first a lack or interest; people are not prone much as we may think so, to take up any nsw fad that comes along, especially II that fad deals with the child-the one thing in life nearest and dearest to a parents heart; but gradually the movement came into it's own; parents and teachers ral- lied to the efficacy of the work and then a mighty wave shot all over the world and kindergarten became the rage; trained teachers were demanded; there were not enough schools to supply the demand everybody who had chick or child sent him to kindergarten until today Kindergarten is universal school, school to which many spen- didly developed character owes its foun- dation.
 Augmenting Birmingham's kindergarten circles this year is one of Birmingham own girls-a student of the public schools and of the Margaret Allen, who chose kindergarten as her life work and who has perfected herself in it; I refer to pretty Natalie Lenk, who will nave charge of the Kindergarten.
