TO FRIENDS OF WYOMING
CHILDREN

The latest figures compiled by the
United States Bureau Of Education
showed Wyoming to have less than
= per cent OF its children Of kinder
garten age in kin%dergartens, Ieav-
in gmOre than 90 per cent OF then
deprived OF an educational advant-
age which they are all entitled to re-
.ceive.
School attendance Is compulsory
during certain years. and continual
ton classes are being provided for
later years-yet we fail to organize
classes for our children at the most
ilnpressionable time OF their lives. All
children could attend kindergartens.
because their services at hat age are
of no economic value, whereas many
must become breadwinners before
the higher grades are reached. I'm
doubtedly many more kindergartens
would be established II parents be-
came sufficiently interested in such
training for their children to request
their Boards OF Education to provide
1t.
Recently President Harding ex-
pressed his interest in the extension
OF kindergarten education in the fol-
lowing words:
because the kindergarten seems
to me an effective means OF providing
early moral, social and intellectual
training. and promoting patriotism.
| am hopeful that this educational
advantage may presently be provided
for all children of the Nation"
p. p. Claxton. United States Com
missioner OF Education. says:
"In communities where kinder
gartens are not a part OF the public
school system, | strongly advise par
ents to take up with the local educa-
ti0nal authorities the matter OF hav-
Ing them established"

POSTMASTERS TO TAKE EXAMS
Especial to The Republican,

WASHINGTON, May 3. - 1t now
seems likely that postmasters of the
first, second and third class will con-
tinue to qualify by some sort of
civil service examination. Before
the Harding administration assumed
charge it was strongly indicated that
| This feature would be done away with
and hat the new administration
| would return to the former practice
of making these appointments on the
recommendation OF a member OF
congres from each district or state
recognized as referee in such matters.
A circular inquiry addressed to the
Republican members by one who Is
supposed to have done SO for the in
formation of the president, resulted
in a very general expression for an
! examination OF some sort, and rumOr
now has it that this will be followed,
although the examination Is likely to
be more than a mere test OF techni-
cal ability. A definite policy con-
corning these appointments is being
worked out and will be announced
shortly.
Congressman Mondell has offer
ed to the state through Governor
Carey a model Of the Shoshone dam
at Cody. The model is Ga inches
long. 81 inches wide and ~ inches
high, and was used in connection
| with a suit against the government
in settling claims Of contractors. Hav-
ing served its purpose as evidence.
the Wyoming congressman thought
1t could be used for advertising the
second highest dam in the world. and
has offered it to the state. 1t will
probably be placed in Cheyenne.
When plans decided upon have been
fully worked out, the Cody dam will
have the added distinction Of i'm
pounding water for the irrigation Of
the largest are in the United States
from a single unit.
The Harding administration will
not place itself in position to be ac-
cused Of having turned the rascals
out. with pressure from every side
urging the summary dismissal Of
Democratic incumbents to make room
for Republicans, the administration
has thus far maintained a composure
very disappointing to the job-hunter
and has insisted that vacancies must
occur in the regular way. Where
the record shows that a Republican
incumbent was summarlly removed
by the Wilson administration, to
make a place for q observing Demo-
GRAFT" the administration seems will
ing to retaliate; otherwise vacancies
are likely to occur only a. incumb-
ents resign. terms expire. or are re-
moved for cause.

the Puppet." In this gripping ro-
nance written by Pierre Louys and
