Senator Mclean Criticizes
Concealment of Vast
Sums of Capital
BURDEN OF TAXATION
FALLING UPON POOR
Farmers Spokesman Urges Securities
of Cooperative Associations
Be Exempt
BY L. G. MARTIN

WASHINGTON, D. G., May 10
Congress may be forced to amend the
constitution to prevent the hiding of
vast sums of capital in tax free Sc
curities in order to obtain the neces-
sary revenues and prevent unfair
burdens Of taxation falling upon the
poor, Senator Mclean, Connecticut,
chairman Of the banking and currency
committee, declared yesterday.
Mclean said that il something is
not done soon to check the issuing
OF tax exempt securities, ill personal
property of wealthy men will in large
measure escape taxation, since
great amounts are now being Sc
questered in this form of security as
a means Of avoiding taxes"
Replies to Farmers
McLean's statement was in reply
to an appeal by farmers representa-
tfves that the bonds of cooperative
associations, issued as securities for
loans for farm Improvement and the
prosecution OF cooperative marketing
plans, be given the same tax exemp-
lions as are granted municipal and
public utilities bonds.
The farmers spokesman urged that
the farmer be put on parity in re-
spect to such improvement bonds
with the city dweller, who through
the municipality issues street i'm
provement. sewage. water and other
bonds free from tax.
Senator Fletcher, Florida, another
member of the committee, suggested
coupling with McLean's suggestion
law limiting the amount of interest
that can be paid on tax free bonds so
as to make them less attractive.

"Come. let us live with our chill

better way to do this than by taking
them into the realms Of Nature.
Children's lives are very near to

TO the woods and fields make children
more receptive to Natures influence,
but their eyes need to be opened.
Therefore, if mothers will try TO in
terpret the life of the flower, tree,
bird, and other wonders, in simple
way it will inspire the child to make
new discoveries as he goes along. Then
as he comes into sympathy with the
things about him, he will feel the unity
of life.
Excursions into nature are consid-
cred an important part of the Kinder
garten program, and it may interest
mothers to know how we make these
excursions and what we do.
We begin our walks early in the fall.
We notice all the flowers of This sea-

and press them, then mount them in

EXCURSIONS


hips. acorns, thorn apples and berries.
These can be used in many attractive
combinations which delight the chill
dren. AT this time We also notice
that Nature is preparing for her Ions
winters rest. The flowers have ceased
blooming and have brought forth
seeds which mean new life, and VIC
tell how they are carried by the wind,
insects, animals. or man and are plant
ed to reproduce the species.
About this time the caterpillar is
crawling around looking for place
to build a cocoon. In the Kindergar-
ten we try to have some caterplllars in
order that the children may watch
the transition of the caterpillars into
butterflies.
We have talked of the birds leav-
ing for the south and we have noticed
the empty nests. We have observed
the squirrels gathering their winter
stores. We have seen the farmer busy
with his harvest. Now, we call atten-
tion to the fact that all Nature, having
prepared for the cold, seems TO rest.
While the children take great pleas
ure in the fall excursions, the Spring
has new beauties in which they de-
light. All the world is awake, all life
is unfolding.

In the freshness and beauty of the
springtime, is found new charm, a
new source of enjoyment. The birds
brightest colors. Do you wonder chill
dren love to be part of this, rs they
roam through the meadows and woods
gathering flowers and learning Ma
tures lessons?
In the spring we begin a more de-
cided study of the birds. The Children
learn the marking and names of many
Of the birds found in our vicinity. from
charts which we have in the Kinder
garten. They also learn the calls If a
few of the birds. Then on our first
Isprng excursion their eyes are wide
open to see how many birds they caa
recognize. If they go out into the
country later with their parents they
are able to use the knowledge gained
and come back to the Kindergarten
telling of the new birds they nave seen.
We gather wild flowers in the carly
Ispring, and the children learn their
names. Then we play games bringing
lin the names and characteristics Of
these flowers from which tho children
derive great pleasure, e8 well as the
beneficial effects OF the d"iH
On our excursions we also AXE ,hc
children to the fish ponds that ther
may see the life there, the gold fish
the frogs, the water flowers. We
gather eggs of the frog or toad and
bring them to the kindergarten to
watch their developments The toads
eggs develop very rapidly, and the
children are wonderfully interested in
them. Tho interest. spreads beyond
the Kindergarten into the grades, and
many of the older children come in
every few days to see what change has
taken place. We gather enough eggs
so that each child may take homo two
or three tadpolcs to watch the further
development there. They need little
care, only a few cracker crumbs each
day, and a change of water once a
week. This helps to awaken in the
child the thought and feeling of nur-
ture.
Aside from the, actual knowledge
gained on these excursions. the chill
dren become observing and interested
in nature. They have learned their
first lessons in biology, and viii not
soon forget them.
"The experience of the ages that are
past, the hopes of the ages that are yet

vast natural resources as a means to
