ThEuRT OF TBr, K1NUERUARTEN
flow It Is Applied to Broadening the
Mind.'
t
A paper read by Miss Doutbit before the
Institute of Wasco couoty. 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. '

1 ittle pebble, which I bad failed t
notice myself. 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.' And with all our
boasted civilization we have proved
ourselves capable of cruelty as gross
as that we went out to vindicate.
Ye builders of today, look well to
your institutions of learning, seek
early to engraft into your public
schools, this lndespensible part, the
kindergarten, for . without this or a
similar course of instruction, a perfect
development can. never to attained. :

mercenary designs.
Ever bear in mind that through
these tbe national life is assured. Nor
can the interest of this more perfect
education be confined within tbe
limits of our own country, but the in
terest of our whole English speaking
race seems to be involved.
If the signs of the times do not de
ceive ns the time is approaching and
may be nearer than is supposed when
this class ot people of the earth will
be weighed in the balance against all
others. And if this great English
speaking race proves the dormmao tone

its strength, that it -may overbalance
all others. Must -it be the strenght

self in Itu perfect development.

He Considers the Situation
at Manila Serious.
Manila, Sept. 12. Rear-Admiral
Dewey says he considers tbe situation
critical. He has asked for aa addit
ional cruiser and a batttle-shlp. Hie
Spaniards assert that Germany will
take a coaling station here, and that
Spain will retain the remainder of the
islands. The last Spanish garrisons
at I locos and Laguanet have sur
rendered, and the whole island of Lo
gon is in tbe bands of the insurgents,
except Manila and Cavlte.
Agulnaldo went to Lelollos on Fri
day. He has announced hit intention
of convening an assembly of the Fillip-
inoi on September 15, Id order to de
cide upon the policy to he adopted by
the insurgents.
The correspondent here of tbe As
sociated Press had an . Interview
with Agulnaldo, who said there were
67,000 insurgents armed with rifles.
He added he could raise 100,000 men.
Indeed tbe Insurgent leader pointed
out, the whole population was willing '
to fight for their independence.
Continuing, Agulnaldo said be had
1 0,000 military prisoners, including
5000 in the vicinity of Manila, besides
civil prisoners. Later Agiiaaldo said
the "provisional government" waa
now operating 27 provinces. . He as
serted that in August he appointed
delegates in proportion to the popula
tion. .
As to the Americans, Aguinald) re
marked that be considered tbem as
brothers; that "the two sovereign re
publics were allied against a common
enemy." " ; . .
When questioned as to whether the
future of the Filliplnos' policy would
be absolute independence, Agulnaldo
excused himself from replying, and
asked wbat America intends to do.
