The results are stated to have been in the highest dogree satisfac- tory, ‘The merits and advantages of the kin- dergarten system have certainly been most conclusively demonstrated In St. Louis, and while therp may be difticulties in the way of adopting it as a part of the public school system, it has been shown that these are no¢ insurmountable. The most difficult question to solve appears to be that of adopung the primary in- struction to kindergarten methods, but evidently this is possible of accomplish- ment. The matter is certainly one which may very properly engage the attention of all progressive educators, as it is now doing of many of them. E———— “Vive Boulanger.” Such was the acclaim that resounded through the streets of Paris on Friday when the favorite general of France was aboutto leave the cupital to assume command of the thirteenth army corps, to which he was recently assigned by the minister of war. That cry, with the ex- priso and push of Omaha is lurking n their bosoms. Becnuse at Omaha's re- cent ox roast a clam bake was as well a part of the day’'s festivities, merciless New York editors are attempting to create the impression that Omaha is be- coming too large for its clothes, and its oitizens wish to make believe that beeause it can support a clam bake it is a seaport. Omaha is not a seaport and no one here has claimed such, but the day is not far distant when this, the most en- terprising and rapidly growing city on the Missouri river, will bea port of entry. Omaha clam bakes, like the city, will ba- come one of the great institutions of the weost, Little San Francisco also attempts to put on airs and turn up its wine col- ored nose at Omana's clam bakes. We may not have a great deep salt water front, but us the city is fast approaching 150,000 population, so will grow the clam bake and all its sweet influcncos of culture and good times in general, We are prepared to produce an afll- davit that a clam was baked in Omaha on the glorious Fourth.

The truth is that, like everything else in the petition, this was sworn to recklessly, without any knowledge of the contract, or without any regard for the truth. In Its way it is funny, however,—Republi- can This is by no means the first time that the power of the courts had to beinvoked in Omana to restrain jobbery and reck- less methods in the letting of municipal contracts, The supreme joke of these injunction suits hasbeen the discomlfiture of boodlers, and tho florid humor of it is that John M.

It is so again in this injunc tion case, With all due deference to the veracity of our amiable contemporary, we still maintain that this bogus contract is loosely drawn, vicious and contrary to sound principles.

San Francisco can well afford to provide for their visitors in handsome style. In addition to hotel expenses every tourist 18 good, at the lowest possible estimate, for $2 more per day. Thus it will be seen there will be added to the volume of circulating medium ia that section up- ward of $32,000,00, and it is safe to pre- sume it will reach $59,000,000 before the unsophisticated easterners have been al- lowed to turn their faces toward the ris- ing sun. Are not these flatering pros- pects quite suflicient to create broad smiles, and itching palms? The San Francisco papers are much wrought up at the thought that there are not hotels enough to give the necessary accommodation. They advise the build- ing of more hotels, new theatres and a cleaning up of the city in general. The latter, of course, is badly needed. What scems to exercise tho editorial mind most is the absolute absence of bathing privileges. This latter appeal to capital and enter- prise is possibly subject to misconstruc- tion, and it might be well that an oxplan- ation be made before the excursionists enter upon their journey. It might be taken to mean that in the absence of the necessary bath privileges, that this auxilary to cleanliness and good health is not a custom of the San Francisco people. Upon the other hand it may be construed into meaning that the eastern people will stand more in need of baths than anything olse—that they are unaccustomed to such conveni- ences at home. Then again the San Fran- ciscoian may know something of the eastern customs, and in order to keep the tourists within their borders the ninety days, it will be necessary to pro- vide them with such accommodations as they are in the habit of having. This is a very important question, and there should be no delay in settling it. American cities which was sent out by the Associated press last week as emanat- g from Dunn & Co.—so far at least as it relates to Omaha. There certainly is a most decided discrepancy between the report circulated by the Associated press —in which Omaha 18 singled out as one of the centers where the building indus- tries had reached the stage of stagnation —and the printed circular of Dunn & Co. dated July 1, which embodies the gen- eral business outlook compiled review of commercial and financial operations and general condition of the building interests and real market. This circular contains the following under the head of Omaha: ‘The business outlook, in Nebraska, has not in twenty years been brighter than to-day, with the one exception, that when the reaction in real estate speculation, which prevades every city, town and hamlet comes, and it is expected within twelve months, trouble must ensue for those merchants and dealers who have gone outside of their legiti- mate lines, and in their haste to get rich as- sumed obligutions in the purchase of con- tract real estate—really option gambling— which must be met from their commercial gains, and, as a rule, tho very ones who thus speculate have not all the capital they should have for thelr business wants; with this ex- ception, Nebraska merchants are prosperous and content. Nearly 1,500 miles of railroad are building within the state; new bridges, waterworks and gas plants are beingput in: manufacturers from adjacent states are seek- ing sites and erecting buildings. Banking capital, which has been somewhat deficient in the interior, Is being supplied by eastern men attracted by the rapid and apparently permanent growth of our towns and cities, and the higher rate of interest obtainable. Loan and investment companies find this is a safe market for their funds, and our people are enabled to borrow the capital so much needed in a new county at reasonable rates. Much doubt and fear of results were ex- prossed in the passage of tho inter-state com- merce bill, but these have been, in a great measure, allayed. as it was found that imag- ination made the bugbear greater than it ‘was, and confidence s now expressed that the bill will prove benelicial to the state, on the whole, in the long run. Ncbraska has palace, and was listened to by the minis- ters whose appointment was contingent upon the rejection of Boulanger with probably far from agreeable feelings. No vopular hero in France sinceGambetta has received such an ovation, and had Bou- langer then proclaimed that he would not leave Paris he might have remained there surrounded by a following which the government would have found it ex- tremely difficult to control. No reasonable man can doubt, after this demonstration, that Boulanger is ex- tramely popular with the French people, if indeed he is not the most popular man in France. It plainly showed that the efforts of President Grevy and the min- isters of his creation to disparage the favorite general in the estimation of the people, and to break down his mfluence have not been success- ful. Itisnot improbable on the contrary, that the course of the government toward Boulanger has had the effect to make him stronger with the people. His own course has been reserved, undemon- strative, and to all outward appearances patriotic. He gave 1o encouragment to the vast crowd that applauded him in the same breath thdt ;i denounced the government. In all' this he has acted with a prudent discretion which the French people will take at its full value. At the head of the thirteenth corps Bou- langer will not be fokgotten. What are the. possibilities ot the not far futura? It may be idle to conjecture. The present week may be a most eventful one for France. It will witness the close of the national assembly, which it has been predicted would make the bogmning of stirring events, There is no faith in the perma- nance of the present ministry. It 1s hardly possible that its dowufall could fail to bring Boulanger again to the front. In that event there might be hap- penings in which all the world would take an interest. and measure the same by any stundard which will yield them the largest income. This is the difference between this pe- culiar contract and those herctofore made by the city. Last year and every preceding year the pub- lished proposals for advertising made nonpareil type with ten lines to each square the basis of the bid, This year no standard of type or basis of measure- ment was exacted, and the bid of the Ropublican being blank on this vital lnbmrlbedandawnrnfi?fib&rflfflflfxist voint, leaves its publishers free to estab- ey A 4 lish their own standard of type and %BAL.{ P, Frr, Notary Publie. measurement.

The discrepancy between the time fixed on the proposals and the time set by the charter for letting the ofticial advertising was such as to raise a doubt in the mind of the editor of the BeE as to the validity of the proposals, even if they had not been altogether too indefinite about the basis for measurement.

Thereupon Iate this interest. The advocates of the kindergarten insist that it is the most ra- tional and scientific systom of primary instruction because the most natural. It employs the methods and means thay every child uses in becoming familiar with 1ts surroundings. It goes on the assumption that play is an im- portant part of child-life, and therefore makes use of the games of the children to impart in- struction. It happily combines work and play and makes both contri- bute to the mental improvement of the child. Its method rightly pursued is a constant and healthy stimulus to the child’s desire to acquire knowledge. The underlying theory is that spontaneity, or vlag, is alwavs serious in a child and not frivolous, and that this should be di- rected to external fact and truth, Thus these spontaneous powers may be di- rected and developed into self-culture, independent action and the love of wa hope to pay 100 cents at maturity, and have a healthy surplus. Collections have been fair-and the rate of money is 8 to 10 per cent per annum, mostly the latter. ‘There hus been manifestly a mistake made by the reporter who compiled this review for the Associated press. There is nothing in it to justify the report that Omaha is one of the progressive western oities whose growth is on the standstill, and we feel thaj it wonld be great injus- tice to hold Dunn & Co., or its local man- ager, responsible for misrepresentations made by some reckless or careless re- porter. king of the united and consolidated order of brothers and sisters and sons and daughters of the knights of four men and the members of the supremo grand royal house.” The grotesque ab- surdity of this will not need to be im- pressed upon the attention of the reader. But 1t suggests the question whether there is not “'something t0o much” of .this sort of thing in connection with all soocieties ‘essentially American in their origin.

In America, however, these considerations do not apply, Not only have societies originating here other titles which they can use so that the rank and power of their ofticials shall be prop- erly graded but the use of which would be much more dappropriate. How much better, for example, than snch a ridiculously ex- travagant combination as “Grand Royal King” would be “Most Eminent Presi- dent,”” allowing that something more than the simple title of president or gov- ernor should at any time be necessary. Furthermore, theso rbyal titles must be supplemented with all the, trappings and paraphernalia that are deomed necessary to mark and distinguish the persons upon whom they are bestowed. In the meet- ings of the societies ahd ‘on public oc- casions these favored individuals are tricked out and bespangled often 1n the most gorgeous manner, making objects of themselves which“gréatly entertain the children but look extfemely ridicu- to older people of sensg. There may be no offense in this sort of thing, unless it be to good taste, but 1t: is conspicuously nonsensical. 1t ought to be reformed, so far as all societies of Ajnerfcan origin at least are concerned. All such should eliminate every title, symbol and insig- nia that s borrowed from or suggests royalty, and make their official designa- tions and their forms and methods con- form to the churacter of the institutions under which they live.

And the most florid humor of this swindle is that the mayor was im- in a vrational and harmoni- ous order for the child's mind to work spontaneously. The child observes, imtates, reproduces and in- vents forms, Every step, no matter how small, has 1its significence and almost un- consciousiy inculeates its lesson. There is the same change and variety that is to ‘e found in child’s play, and no one game or losson is continued long enough to weary the chmld. The games include simple catechisms that bring into play the variovs muscles of the body and in- sure physical as well as mental develop- ment, Romping is organized and made to do the service of the educator, and the delicate fancies of the child are trained in useful ways and with right models be- foreit. It is easy to see that the effect ot such a system, wisely conducted, must be to make the children eager seekers after knowledge, while at the same time itis a means of enjoyment and health- promoting recreation. No child having normal conditions and qualifications would quarrel with such a system, and the great majority could be depended upon acquiescing in ils requirements with delight. The first free kindergarten in St, Louis was established in 1873 as an experiment. From that have grown sixty-eight, with an enroliment of nearly seven thousand children and conducted at an snnual ex- pense of about $30,000. Only children over six and under seven years are ad- mitted to the kindergarten, and after oue year's instruction there they enter the primary schools. Kindergarten cml- ts & Joh. ~ gidian.
