In accordance with its practice of

Quoted, and is now conducting, a fund
to provide books for poor children.
The JouranI readers have been very
generous. not only with money. but
also with used books, and it is be-

being given.
Further contributions are necessary,
however, and it is hoped that those

come to the aid of the less fortunate
contributions may be made payable

WEST GARDEN STREET
SCHOOL GROWS FAST
Started With Hundred Pupils, Now
Has Nearly Four Hundred.

In 1900 the West Garden street
school was built. 1t contained four
rooms. AT that time this was suffi-
cient room for the children in that
neighborhood. Not many years pass
ed before the upstairs had to be par
toned and used as a room. AT the
present time this room is still in use
Not many years ago, about two it was,
the enrolment was so great that a
one-room building was out in the yard
as temporary relief to the crowded
condition. Then it became needful to
partition the lower hall and use it for
room as the upstairs hall had been
used.
Last year each room was crowded
to its utmost. The first grade had to
be divided into three parts instead
or two, and the A sections of the
third and fourth had to pass their
own school and be cared for in the
Eliza Jane Wilson school. This was
the best solution to the question To-
day there is a new building being
erected. which we hope will solve the
question of housing the children for
a few more years
During the nineteen years the school
has been used there have been bur
two principals. Mrs. S. H Collins. who
served fifteen years, was the first
The present principal, Miss Allie Yni-
estra. has served four years. The en-
rollment at the beginning was a If
tie over 100 pupils with four teachers
Last year it was about 900 with six
teachers The esnrollment this wear
will be greater, but there will be eight j
teachers to handle the situation.

BY SARAH J. WILSON

Several days ago / was helping some
; children build bonfire in a back
yard As we poked the fire the pieces
of charred paper flew up in the air
rising higher and higher. The chill
dren watched them with a great deal
of interest, calling them birds" "air-
planes" and so on. Finally one boy
asked: What makes them go up?"
Because hot air always goes up" I
answered, "and it carries the paper
with it," These simple facts satisfied
him for the time being. Further ex-
per1ence with the same, material will
bring forth more why's" and more
important facts will be learned. and
important facts will be learned and
remembered, because they come out
of actual experiences
There are a number of activities
that are especially attractive to every
boy and girl. but which are also a
special source of anxiety to every
mother They are those classed as
dangerous; tree climbing swim
ming, making bonfires and PLAYING
with hammer and nails, knives, saws
and firearms. L believe this list in
cludes practically all the occupations
that are most dear to the hearts of
children, particularly boys. And yet,
II they have a chance to indulge in
them at all it is usually against the
wish, or perhaps the direct orders of
their parents.
Now stop a moment and consider
the UNREASONABLE values thai lie in
all these plays. Physical strength and
self-reliance come through swimming
and tree-climbing; industrial skill and
ability to think and carry out ones
ideas are developed by the use of
hammers, saws and like tools; and
and chemical facts are only
a small part of the value to be de-
rived from bonfires and firearms
OF course, we cannot -erlook the
fact that such plays are dangerous.
How are we going to meet the chill
dren's natural demand for them and
at the seme time eliminate the dan

periments with dangerous" play

kindergarten Hints for Parents

l believe a much better way of
dealing with the situation is to CO.
operate with the children in the graft
flcation of their very natural desire
to touch and work with things, and
to help them carry out their plans
If the parent. teacher or adult play-
mate once really gets the .fildren' s
viewpoint 1t viii make a great differ
ence and will do much to solve this
difficult problem. Enter into the chill
dren's play and instead of constraint
and fear bring to it new enthusiasm
and interest through the greater
knowledge you possess of facts and
conditions In this way, you will
guard against accidents at the outset
by being present to show the chill
dren how" and to explain dangers
and remind them once in while
about being careful. Thus you will
unconsciously avoid the mistake of
making the children feel that they are
watched, treatment very CALLING to
any one who is learning self-de-
pendence.
One great value of this attitude is
that you gain your >child's confidence
and can count on his attention and
obedience with regard to certain re-
StrlctIonS which you may feel should
be imposed, such as not to light a
match or build ire unless he asks
you first. Best of all, the children
soon learn to be as careful as the
most particular adult could wish. Did
you ever watch a child climb a tree
who has acquired skill and self-re-
lance through such helpful training +? |
He knows well enough that he must
hold tight, avoid dead limbs and be |
careful where he puts his feet.
VIII you not feel more confident I
after procedure of this kind that the i
children will be able to meet and con- I
quer other difficulties and expert |
ences and you can trust in your sym |
pathetic interest ato make them want I
to come to you in case of need and
in the ideals you constantly hold be- I
fore them to strengthen and guard
them from harm? Your reward will I
come in the self-reliance moral 81
strength, and increased knowledge of u
your children, in their keen interest 4

With the approach of Christmas the village has taken on a holiday aspect not only in the stores but in the homes. In many of the homes appear Christmas wreaths and through the windows of some dwellings can be seen the Christmas tree covered with shining tinsel and holly. The windows of the stores are attEaetively deco-' rated with wares that appeal to all classes, young and old. #i.
 Idle Moments in the Village-The Christmas Dilemma. What shall I give to So and So this year? is the
 question that is foremost in the minds o fyoung and old. Several converse tions overheard recently in the village show how the general thought is turn
 ing. The following took place in the
 pest9dice: Hello, Elizabeth. Got all
 your Christmas presents bought ?''
 Yep, all but one for Charlie. He's so
 hard to please I really don't know what to get him. I've had lots of ideas but they are either so expensive or some of his folks are going to give the same thing. Last year I gave him some cigars but he told last time he
 was up that he had sworn off smoking for year. Gee, guess I'll have to go down town and look around. We'll, bye, Sadie"

Under the auspices of the Sunday school of the United Congregational church, Miss Margaret s1attery of Boston, addressed an audience of 800 at the United Congregational church Tuesday evening on the topic. Stars in the Worlds Night, into which she put a call for greater efficiency in church work
 The lecture, which was the church schools contribution to the communi- ty, was made possible through the eff forts of Mrs. Arthur L. sPeale.
 Miss Slattery, who is well known throughout Connecticut spent part of Hast winter and all of last spring in travelling through the war countries of Europe. She left the United States early in January and returned late in June. And during this time she vis- tied the battlefields of Belgium, France and Italy. She stood on gro1nd over which some of the fiercest and great : est struggles of the war swayed back and forth for days at. a time, finally resulting in victory for the allied armies.
 The service opened with hymn aft CT which H. W. Gallup, superintendent of the Sunday school. who presided,

 The world is engaged at the present

 America must begin to believe and to say that the most important thing is the making of men. The problem of today is not problems of things: it is a problem of men.
