- You wonder what has become of one
correspondent. To be explanatory, a
good friend took pity on my sweltering
condition and carried me to their home,
a cool, shady nook far from the heat and
dust of our town ; a lovely quiet spot ; a
place to think and rest as the poplars
and locust give us sweet music to cheer
us as we sit under their quiet shade.
My friends indeed have a nice home,
situated on the Prineville road, eight
miles from town, and "admirably situ
ated for their business, stock raising.
Their place is well set in alfalfa, which
yields an abundance of hay for all their
requirements. An excellent orchard is
one of the adjuncts that is unusual on
most of the places in this section.
Rev. Mr. Baily of Prineville addressed
the people at Mr. Bransfield's school
house. The subject of his discourse was
"The Footmen in the Race," as illus
trating the downward career of a human
creature when they once allow the de
mon, drink, to gain the ascendency.
His remarks were excellent, and well
meant.
On my way to church I had time to
look about a little, and was surprised to
note the many improvements in a few
years. Many comfortable homes have
sprung up where there wasjbut a barren
waste a few years . ago. Orchards are
being put oat. Good fences and com
fortable houses are among -the many
needed improvements. . This Gable
creek locality, owing to its proximity to
the mountain, has the advantage in
soil of places lower down, as the soil is
much deeper and more of a loamy
nature that gives strength and vigor to
growing products, while the soil lower
needs strengthening qualities added
yearly that the best results may be ob
tained. E. V. E.

The Kindergarten.
Thursday afternoon a meeting was
held in the Congregational church for
the purpose of ascertaining the practica
bility of starting a kindergarten. An
earnest and enthusiastic interest was
taken and a committee was appointed to
visit the parents and find out what sup
port a competent kindergarten might
have. r , ' ,
As the kindergarten idea is so new it

may be well to give a brief explanation
of its history and aims: Frederick
Froebel, the originator of the system,
was a German. His entire life was de
voted to educational interests and the
recollection of his own neglected child
hood led him to give special attention to
the education and care of the youngest
children, which resulted in his beautiful
plans. Since his death in 1852 the work
has se gained in public favor that nearly
every community in the United States
has its kindergartens, and even Turkey
and Japan are not behind.
The aim ot the kindergarten is an all
sided and harmonious development. It
appeals to the activity of children and
supplies the proper opportunities for
mental, moral and physical growth.
The kindergarten lessons that are given
by means of gifts, (blocks and other
simple toys') appeal to the mind chiefly.
By means of these attractive playthings
the children's general intelligence, ob
servation and attention are so developed
that the mind is well prepared for
regular school work. The games, which
have each a deep moral purpose, are
always accompanied by music and pro
vide for the physical development. The
work that the children do in folding and
cutting paper, etc., gives them another
vent for their activities and inculcates
habits of neatnees, industry, persever
ance and thought for others, as the
work is always done for someone and
never aimlessly. Considerable atten
tion is paid to drawing and the use of
the pencil. is so valuable and delightful
that it cannot be gained too soon. The
kindergarten is in no sense a forcing
system nor yet are its aims trivial, but
it supplies the right care and occupation
for children from 3 to 6 years of age.
The moral influences of a republican
form' of government, where all are
allowed as much freedom as they can
use properly, is very beneficial, and the
association with others of the same age
makes the life of each child that of a
citizen; a member of a small com
munity; a feature which' no family,
however ideal, can quite supply. Un
selfishness and all the smaller virtues are
constantly cultivated in unobtrusive bat
effective ways. Perhaps the best defini
tion of the kindergarten is "child cul
ture." . ' .
It is hoped tha,t any parents that bave
children to send, and are not called up
on by the committee, will report at once
to Mrs. Curtis.
A Grand Race.
The race between Robert L. and
Patchen at Indianapolis Thursday was
the grandest race of the kind on record,
both as to time and the equality of the
horses. Robert Li won the first heat in
2.03 and only won it by a nose. He
took the second heat in the fastest time
ever made, 2.02, beating his great rival
only three lengths, and the third heat in
2.04, winning by only half a length.
The average time for the three heats was
2.03. In admiring the performance of
the king of the turf the work of Patchen
who is himself every inch a king, should
not be lost sight of. The year 1894 is a
record smasher in every way.
