WHAT THE KyNDERGAR- TEN STRIVES TO ACHIEVE.
By s. Nave Henry

pY .. wave r1ehTy
 The Kindergarten should partake of the nature of the home There | should be no distinct break between the home and Kindergarten. In or { der to best obtain this the children are happily employed in service to i the Kindergarten. The before-sch pol ! time is the period when this is best worked out. It is at this time that there is an air of life and activity; children serving, children playing and children in intimate conversation with their associates
 Desirable Habits Formed
 The beginning of desirable habits l are established d-courtesy, kindness. thoughtfulness, cleanliness, order, obedience and the like are made clear to the child. Much of this is accomplished through games and stories.
 The Kindergarten child calls for stories dealing with primitive needs, rrimitive emotions an1 primitive ex- heriences for these are in line with his own life. The story adapted to his needs must make a direct appeal to his imagination. The favorte classics. ''The Story of the Three Bears "The Three Little Pigs" and 'The Little Red Hen" combine in the most successful manner all the elements needful to perfect story for children of Kindergarten age action, simplicity of plot, simple vivid language repetition and direct dis c0ur5e
 There is little place in the Kinder garten for the moral story, the sole aim of which is to deliver in painted fashion some needed lesson. All the stories which we use may be said 70 have moral value; the truths which many of them implant in the heart of the little child are much more effective than the old-fashioned tagonized than alured.
 Teaches SeIf-ControI to Child
 The little child enters Kindergar. ten at the age of four or five and passes on into the first grade at the age of six. He is more self-con trolled than the child who never en ftered Kindergarten and he is dis tf1ctly more self-reliant His vocab- ulary is very much larger and his ex rression richer. He has gained in n.nerable ideas of the world in which he lives and of the relationship of things-all of which are his mental ''stoek in trade" which he takes with him into the primary school.
 Therefore we see that the main purpose of the Kindergarten is to establish the beginning of right nor, al and social habits and right men, tal attitudes while providing as per feet means as possible for the de velopment of physical health and growth

PHYSICAL. TRAINING.
 3v AoWard r kuohe1

Systematic physical training in the early ages was not as necessary as it is today, but in that day more their work was mostly physical. the pride in a well developed body, and the joy of achievement in sports made them work for a more perfect development. With the coming of new forms of education in the civil ually changed from the physical to the mental side. and with this came the growth in adoption of labor saw ing machines.
 The mechanical advancement caus. ed a migration of the people to the cities; this has necessitated change in the form of play. The number of children who have the privilege of play in the great out-of-doors with natural surroundings has greatly de creased, and forms less helpful to the spirit, mind and body are substi- tuted, unless special provision is made.
 Startled by Facts
 This lack of proper forms. and mounts of physical exercise, was go | ing on unnoticed until America was startled by the facts that recent phy sical examinations revealed The need of special training was then strongly felt and many organizations took it up Cities in the form of public supervised playgrounds schools with gymnasiums and play grounds.

THE FEDERAL DEPART MENT OF EDUCATION.
By John E. lanz

The Federal Department of Educa- tion has recently been topic for much discussion among laymen as well as educators. In the minds of mary this subject Is befogged and clouded In the November issue of The Journal Of the National Educa. lion Association, Hugh S. Maglll, writes at considera bles length fon the subject, "Education and the Federal Government shall endeavor to review in more condensed form the main facts of this article
 At the present time the education ment are scattered and unrelated The Bureau of Education is one of many in the Department of the h. terior, Federal Board of Vocational Education, a semi independent or ganization, aids industrial education and home economies, and other. edu- cational activities of the government are under the bureaus of various and different departments. a't" '
 Two PIah Suggested
 To find solution to this situation two plans have been suggested; first, to create, under the Towner-Sterling bill, Department of Education with secretary of education who shall be member of the Presidents Cab met. The primary purpose of this department is to encourage and pro- mote public education in the States. recognizing fully the fact that the control and management of education is vested in the States and that the Federal Department should cooper ate and assist but never dictate or control. Second, to create a Depart ment of Public Welfare under a Secretary of Public Welfare who shall be a member of the Presidents Ca binet. This department is to in clude education as one of it's sub divisions. together with health. social 7ervice, veteran relief and other more or less unrelated subjects. Un- ter this plan the cooperation with the States Is not considered.
 This brings the question of educa- tion to a national issue. Supporting the first proposal are such organiza tions as the National Education As sociation, National Committee for a Department of Education, General Federation for Women's Clubs, Ma tional Congress of Mothers and Par ent-Teacher Associations. Daughters of the American Revolution, National League of Women Voters, American Library Association. American Fed eration Of Labor and many civic. re | ligious and fraternal organizations throughout the United States. Tht second proposal is supported mainl, by General Charles E. Sawyer, thu
 Presidents physician, the Honorabl, ! Walter E. Brown. the President representative on the Committee fol the Reorganization of Executive De
 partments The reports of che join Committee on Education of the Sen ate and the House do not~reveal an.
 particular public sentiment in favo
 of it. On the other hand, educator and their friends are very strongl, opposed to 1t.

 J. H. s. Characteristics
 A junior high school in the fullest sense in which it is commonly used has the following characteristics:
 a. It is a separate educational in. 5titution, with a distinct organization and corps of officers and teachers.
 b. It embraces the seventh, eighth and ninth grades and sometimes the tenth. f- fE,ef
 C. It has curriculum In the sey- enth and eighth grades enriched by. the presence of several high school subjects or by the broadening or vo- cat!onalizing of the common branches.
 q. It promotes by subject even in the seventh and eighth grades.
 e. It permits and encourages a differentiation of courses for the diff ferent pupils.
 Many schools that fall short of these characteristics by one point or another are called junior high schools. But in practically all cities where the movement for establishing these schools has gotten well under way. the ideal toward which tho school authorities are working em- braces all of these points

HOME ECONOMICS.
By Miss Eloise Jackson

IOHle ECOHClniCS euUCdJlOn m cludes instruction in those subjects which relate to home making and it's coordinate activity, housekeeping It lis preyocational in so far as it ac- Quaints the student with many house hold employments, especial prof.Cien- cy in one of which may later be de yeloped and become a e-earning occupation. It is vocational to the extent that it actually prepares a student for effective discharge of du- tific preparation for efficient admin istration of household affairs. Home Economics constitutes in large measure to general education, lead ing to accurate perception and in tellectual development
 Duties Upon Woman
 Modern civilization tends to place upon woman the economic functions of consumers, and. to less degree than in former times, those of pro- .ducers of wealth. The concrete .knowledge gained in handling mate rials, estimating cost and considering time values becomes of. direct value in training intelligent distributors of family incomes The management of a modern household involves many operations and demands much power of adjustment. The school must sup ply both knownedge and skill.
 Home Economics, therefore, finds it's place in the school curricula because it furnishes vocational train ing in that occupation in which 93 per cent of all American women ulti- mately engage; because it gives pre- vocational training leading to the in dustries in which the majority of all women wage earners cater, and be- cause it contributes to that training which developes mind through sense development and awakens intelligent interest in problems relating to good citizenship
 Mission of Woman
 A most important mission of the ideal woman is to make the world more home-like. Home Economies in the public schools is direct means of accomplishing this mission. A satisfactory Home Economies course includes lines of work in sewing. in costume design, in house furnishing, in marketing and food preparation, in home sanitation, in household accounts and home admin istration. The girl completing the eighth grade of school should be able to plan, purchase. prepare and serve simple meal for family of average size, having a moderate income
 Food Values
 She should be able to choose food materials with discrimination, recog. Dizsng those which give adequate food value in proportion to the price asked, and deciding intelligently the quantities suitable for the use of the family for which she buys. She should be able to wash dishes neatly; keep a kitchen in order; care for floors and windows; make bed and dust a room properly. She should know how to use a conner cial pattern in garment making, manipulate sewing machine effec- lively, and do good sewing neatly; this skill with needle, machine and patterns should amount to an abil- 1ty to make all of her own plain gar ments
 We are attempting to accomplish this degree of efficiency for our girls in the Juneau schools and al though it is the only the beginning of complete Home Economies course and with this beginning we hope to awaken desire for more knowledge and further study.

Tom is a young fellow. carefully
working his way toward the heavy
weight championship. Just now he
is not taking any shy in the direction
of Jack Dempsey and does not intend
to-not for awhile, anyway. Many a
coming champion has been killed
off by injudicious matches before he
was ready for them.
May Wait Awhile.
IL Gibbons advisers did not rush him
into a match with the walloping
Frenchman until they had put him
he has been having of late. 1t is,
indeed. on the cards that the St. Paul
knocker-out and Harry Greb may be
matched in what is likely to amount
to an elimination contest for the
honor and glory-and money-of
meeting Georges Carpenter. Greb
certainly has claims on a match with
Georges that Rickard ought not to
overlook.
But on paper it looks as though
Gibbons would make the better fight
II only because he has a harder
punch than Greb. And the man that
beats Carpenter has got to have d
about Gibbons as middleweight
than as light heavy. in which class
he has been knocking out set-ups.
He was a classy middler. But about
a year ago he retired from fighting,
his purpose being to study the fight
ing game inside and out and thus
improve himself.
When he came back to the ring he
was found to have grown heavier and
brawnier-a full-fedged light heavy
weight He has conducted himself
carefully. training faithfully, and
never signed up for a bout in which
he stood a chance of being over
matched. Right now Gibbons is
aware that the time has not come for
him to meet Dempsey, and he will
not meet him-not this year at least.
AS for Carpenter, that is another
matter.
There isn't the slightest doubt this
would be a hummer of a battle Car

has deadly left. Ordinarily a deadly
left will beat deadly right. because
it is faster and because one may use
it to lead without that danger
which makes a right lead risky. On

with his right that he can-and
does-lead with ii and escape the

The last time the writer saw Glib
