J What is a little cbild? An embrio man cr woman. A tin mite of pbysi cal, mental and moral nature, an em bodimentof the motive powers that move a world. ,i J Asleep in this little soul lie all the senses and emotions-awaiting to be called into activity bv the environ ments surrounding it, - or to remain dormant and leave the - place to be supplied by the negative parts of human nature. which fill up ihe space when the virtues fail o awaken. For surely as nature,abhors a vacuum in the outer world, so does it in the inner or higher life.' -.There must ez ist in every one an entirety. If the positive or right elements do not de velope them, tbe negative or wrong will germinate. ...To call iiito normal. activity all the physical parts, the mental and moral senses and emotions with which the child if endowed, is the work of the kindergarten. The body Is not alone tbe temple of the mind and soul, but also a medium through which these speak to the outer world and through which tbe inner self reviews impressions. The very attitude of the body talk of tbe in dweller: the merest motion of the hand betrays the bent of the mind Observe the little fellow with chest expanded as much as his nbysical de velopment ad jaits, with hands open. and yo'i will find within a soul conscious of right only, with nothing to conceal. On the other hand is the little one who, disposed to contract the chest, to clinch his tiny fists or thrust them out of sight, is already giving signs of suppressed virtues, and betrays a con sciousness that there is something within himself to be concealed. These are tbe little hands that are so tempted to cram into the very bot tom of the pocket the attractive things fnund on the kindergarten table or his mother's work basket. It is a part of the work of the kinder garten, through the physical exercises. songs and games, to overcome tbis in clination to contract tbe chest, and through tbe lessons accompanying these exercises, . put into tbe little mind better thoughts and awaken the dormant virtues, induce him by the same means to open nib nanas ana show the tiny power he so persistently conceals, thus aiding him to overcome tbe slyness of his nature. By a cultivation of his better quali ties, be no longer feels the presence of anything within himself to bide, and soon holds op his head and looks the whole world in the face. By the exercise of graceful move ments are the graces of mind and heart enlivened. Through physical motements, a clearer conception of surrounding objects reaches the mind, a deeper and richer meaning fills the soul.' To fly like a little bird, calls to mind the bird life, and the thought' are directed to a pure and beautiful living. To prance like a noble steed, carrying jr.tb sifety over dangerous places his imaginary master, or drawing a load of merry children in a sleigh over the hill and through the wood to grand father's bouse on Thanksgiving day, naturally fills the mind with energetic thought and a sense of responsibility. To hover with outstretched arms for wings, many other little heads in the game of tbe mother bird, fills the little heart to overflowing' with the tender est, holiest sentiment, that of mother love and protection. To march ' with steady steps and time, keeping in time with the many other little feet, teaches him to adapt his life to tbe world about him. Of no less iropot. -voce is the train ing of the senses. nSj .1 Miss Harrison aptlySmarks. that there is no instinct of the child more important and less regarded than tbe exercises of his senses, Tbe inner being awakens by means of the im pressions conveyed - to the young brains through those avenues. The proper training of tbe senses is of the highest importance physically, mentally and morally. The sense of touch is cultivated until hard or soft, smooth or rough surfaces, are at once recognized and through it the mind is directed to the things about him. He discovers that smooth surfaces are more pleasant to the touch tban rough ones; that the soft ball is a dearer little playfellow- than the hard one. i . j Through the aid of this sense the mind is able to understand more clearly the meaning of rough words, bard hearts, and the proverb "A soft ans wer turnetb away rath," is fully com prehended. He finds that the limbs of the trees are round with no sharp edges;.' that most of tbe fruits and vegetables are pleasant to handle and that the earth in most parts where people live is comparatively smooth and pleasant to tread upon: and the mind is lead up through these , crea tions to the Great Creator "who doeth all things well," and love and grati tude, the purest essence of religion, are kindled in the heart and grow as he grows until they become a fixed part of his nature. Through the- sense of taste are the thoughts also directed in the same high plain as those things suitable to eat are usually plesant to tbe taste and hurtful things not, and if we heed the voice of God speaking to us through this sense we will not eat those things which are injurious. He too should be taught that the appetite was given by the same all wise one that we might know when we had eaten a sufficient amount, and will never fail to warn us if we do not abuse. Through the sense of . smell is he again taught the lesson of gratitude, as he soon learns that the perfume of thefruitsand flowers give him pleasure, and that bad odors warn him of things that are hurtful. The eyes may be so trained that even the wee ones can distinguish, not ; only the prismatic colors, but the tints and shades as well, and thus educated tbe eyes discover beauty in the tiniest planti or insect.

Thus the windows ci tbe soul are thrown open and a granc panorama of f;V r varying beaut passes continually before the educated eyes. A nice sense of regard for the com fort of others may be cultivated by teaching bim that it is necessary to be clean, in order not to be offensive to ttose near him. He learns too that tbe lower animals were not forgotten by the Good Creator, but that tbe senses were given them for this use. To illustrate, some sample story is told about ths sens of smell in tbe faithful dog by which he was enabled to find a little child that bad wandered away. Mow the blind child is taught. through tbe sense f touch, many things he could not leern in any other way. Tbe bearing, the other higher sense. may be so cultivated that every Eound that falls upon . tbe ' ear is not -only heard, but heard intelligently, and is correctly recorded on the brain If any one doubts tha .importance of this training , lot bim consider, how few persons are realy ..good, listeners and when they do bear have a cor rect notion of what they . have heard. How few can discover rythm or melody in tbe busy hum of every day life, and few whose souls are gladened by the eong of a bird or tbe laughter of a child. But to the . trained ear there is 'music every where.- The whole earth is attuned to that msl odiousstrain wafting out beyond, the limits of this sphere mingled with the song eternal. .-.-. Through tbe songs and games of the seasons be operations oi nature are brought to notice. ': From the bursting of the leaf buds in the spring time, to the ripening of tbe fruit in the autumnal season, be passes wondering, mystified. In tbe spring be holds in bis.- tiny hand a pumpkin seed, later he saw the luxur ions vine with flowers adorning it, now 'be beholds the great yellow pumpkin almost as large as himself. Could such object lc4&or3 fail-to ruse all the higher ; sentiments of his nature, and open his eyes to the mysteries that are poostantly going on in the great wonderful world? All his powers of observation are brought into activity with his eyes opened he sees, and with sharpened perception he conceives a correct notion of ti e wonders of this creation. Through the occupations he becrmes familiar with the vocations by which a vast number of his fellow creatures earn their daily bread. . Every one of these, through the beautiful songs and games used to develope the idea, is dignified in his child thoughts. - Labor to him is not something to be dispisel and avcided. He feels in his heart sincere respeot for the blacksmith, wtfose hammer is heavy, but his arm is strong. To him tbis sturdy smith is an ideal of manli ness and strength. Observe the glow of intelligent appreciation on the little face when you repeat Long fellow's poem tbe "Village ' Black smith." Under the spreading chestnut tree The village smithy stands; The smith a mighty man is he, With large and sinewey hands." And later on, "His brow is wet with honest sweat, He earns what'er he can' And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any man." Here he finds, associated with a physicial strength, the strength of principle, and be very naturally associates honest toll with honest living. He sees beneath the rough visage and begrimed appearence the real worth of tbis son of toll wbich makt s men truly nature's noblemen. He is hot blinded by that false sentiment too prevalent among his older brethren wbo despise the toiler and withhold, honor for the very reason that honor is due, that by honest toil a brother man is working out his destiny in life. High indeed will be the achieve ments of the kindergarten if it anni hilates tbis puny sentiment, for in tbis we find proof, that little humanity is still in ia swaddling clothes. In the kindergarten the diviner part of the child's nature, tbe emotion, is not left to develope by chance, but is regarded by the true kindergarten as a sacred thing. "The holy of holies as it were. In the human race the emotions are developed sooner than , the " reason, hence tbe importance of their early developement in the right direction. Throughout tbe years of instruction tbe education of tbe heart must ad vance with that of the head, if a well balanced character is to be developed. All tbe exercises of the kindergar ten are, through tbe vivid imagination of tbe child, made real. He learns through tbe songs and games to love the tiniest creature. He learnB to see in the little worm frightful to the un taught child, a vision of the beautiful butterfly. ' The bird's egg becomes sacred to him as he looks , forward to the time when a sweet bird will' burst forth from the shell and charm him with its song. - The bird and the worm and many other little creatures be bo often per sonates in song and game that to him they seem like little brothers- over which he most exercise 'a protecting care. And the divine 1 command, "Thongh shalt not-kill," becomes law unto himself through love. Ibrougb these same channels are the home ties strengthened and a deeper affection for bomu loved ones kindled. In the little finger games be finds a representation of the family groupe. Father, mother, brother and sister all joined in bappy unity The domestic animals are also brought in for a share of the infantile affection, until the little one puts him self in touch with every one of these dumb friends and, he unconciousl comes to realize nis dependence upon the lowly creatures for . the comfort of bis everyday life. And again the sentiment of gratitude is awakened in the exclusions of that narrow idea which issolates man from the lower animals. So in the birds of the air, the fishes of the sea, the beasts of the . fields, with roan in tbe center he recognizes the one great whole, over which man holds dominion by Divine command He becomes concious of a heaven ap pointed responsibility and the highest sentiment of obedience and loyalty in his Heavenly Fither glows in his heart when he comes to understand the trust reposed in him by the great Ruler over all the earth. Thus you see kindergarten is to the child a minature world. Here the family life is illustrated. With his little companions the community life is a reality, which is national life in minature. He lives and moves as a part of one great whole, conscious of tbe existence of every other creature about h'm, each with rights he must respect with his own. With constant appeals to his generous emotions wbich enkindles in his heart that broad humanitarian principle which raises man up out of his own small self and fills his soul with that Divine essence, brotherly love, to tbe exclusion of tbe monster selfishness, that makes human vultures of us all when allowed to reign, su- oreme in the heart. Can any one doubt the benefits of this early add symmetrical develop ment? If so, let him consult the eta tistics of any city where Kindergarten work bas been done for a number of years, especially in tbe poor districts. In San Francisco, after the kindergar ten had been in operation in these dis tricts for about twenty years, an in vestigation was made, and it was found that in these twenty years only two arrests were made among those wbo had had kindergarten training. If the disposition to commit crime can be almost overcome m one gener ation in isolated cases, what may not be hoped for in the elevation cf the human race in succeedingenerations, when the kindergarten becomes uni versal? What should be the sentiment of the public mind towards this work, which can in a few years transform poor, distorted .moral monstrosities into order-loving, law-abiding men and women? When we look abroad over this poor world teeming with vice and corrup tion in high places as well as low, it would seem that the kindergarten is the crying need of the hour. With free schools within reach of almost every one and literature of a high' or. der, as well as other grades, scattered broadcast over tbe land so inexpen sive that it can be bad almost for tbe gathering, does it not seem that the minds of men would naturally rise out of tbe low gutter of iniquity, where ignorance once seemed to bold them enthralled? Has a diffusion of knowl edge ever accomplished this? Are we, under onr present system of instruc tion even approaching moral perfec tion? Wby not? Is it not the duty of the custodians of our public schools in which the populace is taught to study well the situation ansj. endeavor to ascertain tbe reasons why the pres ent system is not doing all for human ity that education should do? Tbe root of tbe evil lies not so much in the imperfections of tbe system as in its incompleteness. That it does not reach lot o every recess of the mind and heart, therefore leaving an uneven develop ment, and the result is man can not stand erect in the majesty of perfect manhood, but is swayed by the un natural elements that have been al lowed to grow up within, is evident. For this more perfect development, we plead. That every child may, at the most plastic age, be so wrought upon that every element God" im planted may be brought to its highest state of perfection, and evil find no plaje wherein to germinate. God, in His all wise designing left no waste place, but Implanted in every part Its germ to be called into-actlvity. Wbat is education if it is not this awaken ing, and can it be complete if any part is left dormant? Ihe vital importance of this all around education is most apparent when tbe individual alone is con sidered, but with the broader idea that the individual is a part of the great whole, wbich forms this structure, we call a nations, then its importance can only be measured by what the want of it costs the world. Every department of the state and nation bears evidence of tbis want and the people suffer in consequence of it. We call this a good and glorious nation, but with the lessons of the late war before us, when the patriots who flew to their country's service were treated with neglect and were made the victims of mercenary greed, can we believe it to be as good as it ought to be, ar-d if those who hold the governing power abuse the sarced trust and quench the fires of patriot ism, will it long remain as glorious as it is? I This debased . manhood that bas brought such reproach upon the nation proves all too plainly that the educators of the past have put in to this great ' structure imperfect material wbich could not stand tbe stress of tbe times.'
