YOUR CHILD
in SCHOOL

Where Systematic Education Begins

Where Systematic Education Begins.
More and more the kindergarten is
coming to be an integral part of the
public school system. The work Of the
kindergarten is of special Importance
since 1t Is there that systematic edu-
cation begins. II fathers and mothers
would visit a kindergarten I am sure
they would come away satisfied that
their children are being given real
educational advantages over the chill
dren who remain at home during the
kindergarten year.
In a kindergarten room one finds
space for children to move about natu-
rally and freely. Here are little tables
and chairs suited to child's size and
development. These directly help him
in the varied activities OF the day. AS
one enters kindergarten and sees the
varied program there, he might say.
"Oh, this is all play But as he
watches the child learning to direct
himself, learning to care for his own
work materials, learning to be respon-
sible for leaving his things in order
learning to adjust himself to other
children In the group as each moves
about intent on his own task one real
ICES that this is the earnestness Of
life
Here begins the first lesson in social
adjustment. as children learn the
rights of others. Even in home with
several children the brothers and sic
ters are older or younger Here the
child meets companions of his own
age, who have interests like his. A
child entering a kindergarten is at
first individualistic: he wants to play
alone, to have his own things; he takes
his blocks and builds little structure
al his own. After a while he wants
more complex structure. He needs
the help Of other children. At first
he calls in one child, then two children
and soon the group is at work. Final
~. many children have become one
unit working for a common end.
When a child reaches the age of s
his nature does not suddenly change.
The play of the kindergarten--the ac-
tivities of the kindergarten-are equal
ly essential TO the child in the first
grade, only they are on a higher level
In the first grade the fundamentals of
reading and Of writing and Of definite
number work are begun, but these
time-honored three Re are developed
much more surely Il t4ey are devsiop.

INTO ofice yesterday at the District
building was the briefest possible
pledge of service. 1t was a happy
augury for his administration Of local

Pillnried hY the Law.


in the Hall-Mills case in New Jersey
has returned a severe indictment
against those who brought the accu-
sation of murder against the defend
ants. These people were charged with
a crime, the punishment for which Is
death. There was no question OF de-
gree of culpability. There was, as In
many cases, no admission of fact and
plea of justification. The charge was
explicitly denied and the defense was
that of persons wrongly accused. Ac-
centins the verdict as justified, as a
complete and not a qualified vlnd1ca-
ton, It follows that monstrous IN
Justice has been done to those VINO
have now for many weeks rested
under the gravest charge that can be
brought against any person.
Those who have been just acquitted
have no redress. They cannot recoup
themselves for the heavy expenses to
which they have been subjected in
preparing and conducting their de-
fense on trial. They cannot recover
damages for the improved charge
against their characters or for the
intense suffering that they have un-
dergone as prisoners Of the law. For
1t was the law that accused them and
It cannot be challenged or muIcted in
damages.
No damages. however, even II re.
coverable. could possibly compensate
these defendants for their sufferings
and their losses during the period Of
their accusation, imprisonment and
trial. They have been hailed before
the world as potential criminals. Their
least doings have been heralded, their
lives have been exposed to public
scrutiny. to the morbid curiosity of
the multitudes. They have been pill
loried before millions and, released at
last, they have no redress.
OF all the defendants now released
Mrs. Hall stands forth as a most ex-
traordinary figure. At no time since
the discovery of the body Of her hus-
ba nd and that of his inamorata has
she lost her poise. She has borne
herself with extraordinary calm and
self-containment and dignity. If she
has suffered keenly she has not per
mitted the world to know her sorrow
and her agony. At no time during
the trial did she waver. On the wit
ness stand she was a model Of pre-
cision Of statement and of apparently
perfect frankness. Unruff1ed under
the scathing verbal assaults Of the
prosecutor and a searching cross-ex-
animation. she emerged from that
ordeal mistaken. Her demea nor
throughout the case is reminiscent Of
that of Lizzie Borden, who more than
a third of a century ago was accused
of the murder Of her parents at Fall
River and cleared on that charge after
a trial which attracted attention even
as did this New Jersey case just
closed.
Taking this verdict as conclusive as
to the defendants Just cleared, 1t fol-
lows that somewhere Is a guilty con-
science. The murderer Of Dr. Hall
and Mrs Mills may never be identi-
fed, may never be tried. But that
person, responsible not only for the
deaths of those two people but for
the losses and sufferinEs Of the four
who have just been cleared. has bur.
den of guilt that will grow heavier
with the years. and may eventually
lead to confession to clear one of the
most profound mysteries of crime
ever known in this country.

This and That
By Charles E. TrncetceU.

We have thought II might interest
those who read this. the only news

know that it's conductor appreciates
dogs as much as he likes cats.
In fact we have thought that some
such statement was necessary In or.
der to avert any feeling that we did
not know and like dogs.
Personally. we have never been
able to understand how any one who
really cares for dogs can fall to ap-
preciate also that other true friend
OF man. the house cat.
1t was Jack Spratt. the cat. who
taught us to like cats, and We are
sure that there ia similar awaken
ing open to many who now sincerely
believe they do not like them.
We found Jack a gentleman. mind
ing his own business. We discovered
he was a clean-limbed athlete. who
could run faster and jump higher
than dogs four times his size.
He taught us that cats. as true ath-
letes should. take frequent baths. and
are absolutely odorless, il given half
chance.
He has dignity. true charm and a
plea sing presence--quali alities which
friends Of cats will allow readily
enough. but which dog fanciers may
or may not grant him.
The point Is that We. too, are dog
fanciers. and have simply enlarged
our horizon to take In the cat.
Try 1t yourself.
In our youthful days We did tmuch
to our present shamel steadfastly
sick" our big white bulldog upon all
the cats in the neighborhood OF Sew
enteenth and o streets. Perhaps
there are residents there yet who re.
member Jinks.
He was what IL sometimes called a
pit bull. his progenitors having been
fighting dogs. bred for that crudest
of sports" professional dog fighting.
Happily, 1t Is going completely out
of style.
links. however. receiving nothing
but love. was the gentlest albeit ths
most ferocious looking dog in Wash
inston. His neck was % inches In cir
cumference. Veterinarians united in
declaring that they would rather
handle a horse he was that strong.
The delight Of his life was to chass
cats, and nothing delighted his master
more. such was the then crude state
Of his mind. He was led away by
the excitement Of the thing.
/ a
found great delight in throwing rocks
at cats and sparrows, although he
cannot remember that he ever hit any.
To see the 70-pound bulldog Jump
fences in pursuit of a flying cat was
indeed something OF treat. viewed
only from the standpoint OF novelty.
Much of the sporting aspect wss
removed. however, when the dog
finally caught one and broke ite back
| with few shakes. After that We
lost interest In the sport.
Until We met Jack Spratt we re.
garded ourself as a dog man. Now
we call ourselves a dog and-cst man,
trying to give each animal the place
. in our mind which II really has In ths
world at large.
This. after all, is the true work Of
| a civilized man. to give everything
and everybody, in his own mind. this
place which they actually hold in the
outer world.
