Importance of Universal Kindergarten
Work for All of Our Children.
By MAJ. GEN. W. G. HA AN, U. S. Army.
I If I should be permitted to step for a moment
outside of the,educational work in the army, I would
be perauaded to mention the importance of universal
kindergarten work for all of our children. It is in
these early states that the mind is pliable and suscepti
ble to proper guidance in correct thinking; in learning
to reason honestly to correct conclusions, simple as
they may seem, yet complex as they probably appear
to the youthful mind.
It is in these stages that I believe we could
and should lead the children's minds in the correct
way of thinking, in coming to correct and elementary conclusions, and in
their later work to keep constantly before their minds the principles so
inculcated.
I think one of the greatest deficiencies in our entire system of educa
tion is a lack of leadership among the very young, the children of kinder
garten age.
"The Fires of God:" The Story of the
Awakening of a Selfish Man.
By LYNN HAROLD HOUGH, President Northwestern University
John Drink* iter's play, "Abraham Lincoln," has secured an unusual
hearing in London. Hr. Drinkwater himself recently Bpoke on the cam
pus of Northwestern university.' He is not only a writer of plays, but he
is a poet of no mean ability. One of his particularly vivid and telling
poems is called "The Fires of God." It tells the story of the awakening
of a selfish man. First you feel his shame
"Of having been unstirred of all the sound
Of the deep music of the men that move
Through the world's days in suffering and love."
•
You feel the quality of a "little man of little vision, great only it
unconsecrated pride/' You watch the loneliness of a life which has for
gotten "the holy sweet communion of men." You follow his experience as
when his soul "was stained at last by that most venomous despair, self
pity." You look upon "the trouble of a soul in thrall to mean despairs."
Then you watch this man as the great unselfish fires are kindled in
his life. You see him listening to the great human voices of those who
can "we know the proud content of men who sweep, unbowed before
the legionary fears." You see him thrill to the call of brotherhood from
those who cherish "all the dear delights that spring from man's com
mujyoa with man." You respond to his own answer to the lines: ,
* "All girt with passionate truth to wage
'* High battle for the word unsaid,
The song unsung, the cause unled,
The freedom that no hope can gauge.*
J? i
You surrender with him to their appeal, and you, too, cry,
"Together we will march toward the ways
Wherein the marshalled hosts of morning wait
In sleepless watch, with banners wide unfurled
Across the skies in ceremonial state,
To greet the men who lived triumphant days,
And stormed the secret beauty of the world."
World May Be Safe for Democracy;
America Safe for Bureaucracy.
By SENATOR THOMAS of Colorado.
r
The number of bureaus and other agencies in the various depart
ments is steadily multiplying.
We are a bureau-governed country. The world may have been made
safe for democracy, but this country was long ago made safe for bureau
cracy.
When I was a boy the old Anglo-Saxon faculty of self-reliance, confi
dence of the individual in himself, and the assumption that the govern
ment was created by the people for their security and prosperity was the pre
vailing sehtiment. Nowadays the government is regarded as an institution
created and existing for the purpose of doing something for others, and
as a consequence every agency and every enterprise which meets with any
obstacles during the course of private development now appeals to the
United States of America either to take it over or for that amount of
assistance which is more than equivalent to the difference between success
and failure.

Martians May Resemble Straddle-Bugs;

By HUDSON MAXIM, in Scientific American.
Now, white it may be possible that is inhabited by some sort
of creatures, they could not by any possibility be like ourselves in any
essential respect They are just as likely to resemble straddle-bugs, spiders,
or ground-moles as they are to resemble us.
Mars is mud) smaller than the earth; its atmosphere is much lighter;
it must have'cooled off much more quickly than the earth; the action of
the elements upon it must have been vastly different from that of the
elements on the earth, and changes took place upon it with far greater
rapidity, so that there was not sufficient time for the slow evolution of
various species of animals upon it of such high types as we have upon
the earth. ' • - ,

IT IS proposed to add about 1,000
square miles to Yellowstone Na
tional park on the south; legisla
tion to this effect is now pend
ing In congress. This enlargement in
cludes the Teton range near the Idaho-
Wyoming line, Jackson lake and the
headwaters of the Yellowstone river.
It will give Yellowstone National park
magnificent scenery of a kind It needs.
•Grand Teton (18,747 feet), highest
peak of the Teton range, has been fa
mous as a landmark since the days of
the early fur trade. Mount Moran,
11,100, on the west side of Jackson
lake, has never been ascended, ac
cording to local belief.
In Country Life Leßoy Jeffers, A.
CL, F. R. G. 8„ secretary of the bu
reau of Associated Mountain Clubs of
North America, tells of his ascent of
Mount Moran. His narrative runs:
My wife and I entered Yellowstone
park by its scenic eastern approach
throngh Shoshone canon, climbing
through tribnefs In its towering walls
of gray and pink.
After renewing my acquaintance
with the exquisitely colored Grand
canon of the Yellowstone, we ascended
Mount Washbnrn for Its comprehen
sive view of the park. Visiting the
hot springs and geysers, we finally
left Old Faithful for the hamlet of
Moran on Jackson lake, 70 miles to
the south.
A" the Grand Teton had already
been climbed, I was more interested
In the possibilities of Mount Moran,
which was said to be uncllmbable.
H. M. Albright superintendent of
Yellowstone park, had just viewed It
from various sides, everywhere find
ing sheer cliff*. In August 1017, a
considerable party ascended as far as
the glader on Its eastern face, which
they named Huntley glacier. It was
then reported in the Scientific Amer
ican of March 80, 1918, that "the
summit has never bee* attained, and
probably never will be, as the last
8,000 feet of the mountain are sheer
perpendicular walla «t rock." Ben
Sheffield, who la the local authority
on the mountain, told t* that he had
spent many yean In hunting sheep
on Its crags, always searching for a
route to the summit but alwaya
turned back by unscalable cliffs. He
recounted a thrilling experience in
which he nearly lost his life, and had
come to the conclusion that the moun
tain could be ascended only by driving
staples into the cliffs.
These reports made the mountain
seem all the more Interesting, and we
left Moran at eight o'clock that eve
ning for the nine-mile trip across
Jackson lake. Impressed with the
warning that the walls near the
glacier coold not be climbed, we de
cided to Investigate the northern face,
and we landed as far to the right of
the central maae of the mountain aa
It seemed safe for as to go In the
boat.
/ It was after 1 p. m. on a hot day, a
most unfavorable time for a serious
climb on any glacial mountain, for the
sun bad long been melting the snow
on the heights, Already the glacier
was strewn with newly' fallen rocks,
but I paaaed on, jumping the open
flaatftes and sounding In the snow
with my lc»«x where there waa dan
ger of concealed crevices. 1 found
delicate work In crossing the Berg
schrund and surmounting the cliff
above It, for I had to descend into
the edge of the chasm where there
were great passageways and caverns
of blue end green lending up to un
fathomed depths Into which one might
slip. The greatest danger, however,
waa from falling stones, which were
whizzing with tremendous speed down
the cliffs to the glacier, and I was
not eager to intrude on their line of
lire. .
Ascending the grizsly walla of the
cirque, 1 reached the summit Just as
a giant mass of rock, tons In weight,
came bounding and crashing (town
front unseen heights In a tremendous
avalanche which passed within a faw
feet of the trembling rock on which
I stood. As the rocks followed the
route of my ascent and spread over
the entire glacier below me, It seemed
unwise to continue my climb, and I
reluctantly retraced ipy steps. ' Thus
tar my climb had involved only
technical difficulties as are in the
day's work at aay competent moan

trifle with falling stones, for they
are not a fair test of anyone's skill.
Where No Foot Had Trod.
A thunderstorm was raging among
the crags, so I hurried back and
retreated across the glacier and de
cided to climb the aiguille, on the left
This in Itself proved to be a consid
erable height, and before reaching Its
summit I had become more Interested
In the great walls of the main peak.
Far too swiftly the shadow of Mo
ran advanced to Jackson lake, the sun
disappeared, and darkness reached
upward from the valley. Meanwhile
I left the ridge and traversed the face
of the mountain until I came to a
long chimney. Entering it, I found
my way upward In the falling light,
reaching and straddling to
side for possible hand and footholds,
and struggling to surmount the giant
boulders , which were Insecurely
wedged above me In the chimney.
At one point I had to leave the
chimney for ,a short detour on the
steep, smooth surface. Again I had
to throw my rucksack up ahead,
wedge my ax into a crack, and work
over a beetling crag. Contrary to
custom on a rock climb, I had brought
my lee-ax with me, using It In the ab
sence of a companion to lengthen my
reach at difficult points. The chim
ney was many hundred feet In length
and afforded athletic diversion which
would have been more enjoytble
earlier in the day, when I should have
climbed more rapidly.
After leaving the top of tli? chim
ney there was a delicate fifty feet or
more oC vertical cliff and slanting
rock where the slightest slip meant
an instant unhindered descent for
thousands of feet On setting foot on
the highest point of the mountain I
found a level surface, possibly 100
feet long and 25 feet wldq, that was
strewn with a few loose rocks. On
this summit no foot bad trod.
