In the strong conviction that the

in the present system of education
works a gross injustice to many chill

citation is endeavoring to have the Kim

The association estimates that near
~ 1000 600 children between the ages
of 4 and 8, who should be enjoying

"If all homes were IDEAL" said Com
missioner Claxton recently, still the
broader social life for which Froebel
pleaded for the children would need
to be supplied by the kindergarten.
But. alas. they are 10 all ideal. In
many. grinding poverty and traditional
ignorance have done their work all
too perfectly. In many there is want
of intelligent mother-loye. Harshness
takes the place of gentleness, filth n
negligence of cleanliness and loving
care. profanity and vice of the pure
speech and simple virtues that hould
greet the ear and appeal TO the heart
of every child. For many children
the home is on the street. In many
homes of wealth and refinement the
ignorant nurse is the child's most con-
slant companion.

EARLY PEACE WITH REDS IS FORESEEN
Principal Topic In Poland Is Possibility of Quick
 Negotiations
sy A,soeIsses prs,

Warsaw, Monday, February lo.-The possibility of the opening of peace nego- tiations with the Russian bolsheviki in the near future is the principal topic now among the members of the Diet and in the columns of the newspapers. The plans of those faN bring negotiations have progressed to such -an extent that the place of meeting has been considered, the city of Riga being proposed, although Wilma is suggested on the side of the soviets.
 The chief objections to the opening or negotiations come from the moderate party of the Diet, which contends that the holsheviki will take advantage of the period dI-ing which the negotiations are bending to effect q heavy concentration of troops for the spring offensive, which has been proposed to decide the fate oi Poland Tine moderates also contend that the bolahevik give no guarantees as to the fullilmsnt of the peace conditions proposed in the latest communication.
 The socialists and the party of the left in the Diet are continuing their strenu- GUS efforts however, to swing the gov errlment to their point of view, that the opening of negotiations is an urgent ne ,essity for. the good of Poland at this time The general impression given by government officials is that Poland reply. to be made to the bolsheviki with in ten days, will not absolutely reJec' the soviet offer of January 90.
