community. IL CIedlGS anu uldlu-
tains a moral atmosphere that be-
speaks clear thinking, right living,
and noble purpose. Instead of dis
ciplining morality in child life, it
directs and stimulates a healthy,
normal, ideal growth toward a citi-
zenship that is pure and holy, true
and steadlast' e.. Moreover, the
community is uplifted by the fact
that its children are permitted 70
live their lives in the fullest way,
as nature and God intended them
to live. =. If the future commun-
ity, state, and nation are to be
prosperous, the child in his earliest
years must be carefully and pa
tiently brought to a keen sense of
values, along with the cooperative
and social work that must make Of
us truly great people. The kim
dergarten is the most fitting, logi-
cal and effective agency for ac-
cOmplishing these ends. &C. D.

Monday-Constitutional Rights
Charles e. Hughes, in a recent
number of the Journal of the Ma
tional Education Association says,
'The most ominOus sign of our
| time, as it seems to me, is the in
dicatiOn of the growth of an intol-
Grant spirit. 1t is the more dan
gerOus when armed, as it usually
is, with sincere conviction. It is a
spirit whose wrath must be turned
away by the soft answers of a
sweet reasOnableness. 1t can be
exercised only by invoking the AM
erican spirit of civil and religious
liberty"
This spirit is the spirit of our
Constitution and the only sure way
to inculcate the ideals for which it
stands is to begin in early child
| hood In the kindergarten the lit
| tie ones are taught to respect each
/ others differences and to appreciate
each others efforts and accomplish
ments.
Tuesday - Patriotism - Patriot
| ism requires action. If we love our
country let us do our utmost for its
| citizens. Miss Minnie J. Nelson,
| Oldl6 SUPER luIG1luSllJ VI L uDAAO III
| structiOn of North Dakota writes:
"In this complex world in which we
are living education is no longer
considered a local or individual
matter. 1t is a national necessity.
1t is not an act, but a process of
development. For that reason the
Importance of correct training as
early as possible in the life of the
child is forcing itself upon all who
believe in the future of our repub-
lie.
Il am most heartily in favor of
the kindergarten Movement. We
cannot begin too early and the
school people of our state and ma
ton are thinking in wider units re-
garding the necessity of enrolling
the child in the school system early
in his life.
81 most sincerely endorse the
Kindergarten Movement and wish
that every child in North Dakota
might have the advantage of Kin
dergarten training"
Wednesday-Eq Opportunities
THE interest of the educators of
today is more and more directed to-
ward the very early years in the
life OF the child. The Importance
OF these early years is seemingly
increasing from day to day. We
see more and more in educational
literature of the value of pre-school
training. How clear it ought to be
to the mind of every thinking per-
son that in our day, when so many
what adequate training to the chill
: dren, the kindergarten in the Pub
lie School System offers opportun-
, tiles, the blessings and benefits OF
which are inestimable. ."-Frans Err
