Kindergarten
Advantages
It Makes Learning an Easy,
Pleasant Task
IT IS FUNDAMENTAL
It is a Preliminary Sense-
Training Which Quick
ens and Awaksns
the Mind
Many people are unable to see the
need of any organized system for chil
dren under the school age, and far less
able to compare the needs of these lit
tle ones with those of the school child.
Froebel, after years and years of child
study and training, planned and or-
Sanized the Kindergarten (skillful gar
ening) to meet the demands for the
right education of children from three
to seven years of age. He said, "I
shall not call this an infant school, be
cause I do not intend the children to be
schooled. What I want especially to
teach is how to develope the love of ac
tivity that children show between their
first and seventh years." They are
treated according to their individuality,
and develop freely and naturally in
body and mind. The system stimulates
their reason and their sense of order
and beauty. They enter zealously and
heartily into the spirit of their work.
"A child who has Kindergarten train
ing possesses an inestimable advantage
over the one who lacks it.
His superior ability asserts itself al
most as soon as he enters school.
He is ready to learn. His senses
gates of his mind—are open, and the
acquiring of knowledge becomes an
easy task.
The fact that a great many children
without Kindergarten training are not
ready to learn on first entering school,
is apparent to any worker in a primary
room. Before learning can take place;
the eye must be taught to see, ana the
ear be trained to hear.
Lack of fundamental sense training
is a serious drawback which often ap
pears as stupidity in the pupil, and not
only necessitates waste, of time in Sep
tember but hinders progress all along
the way.
Besides this preliminary sense-train
ing which so quickens and awakens the
mind, the Kindergarten child possesses
a fund of real knowledge in contrast to
his less fortunate class-mate. For two
years he has been mastering problems
with hand and brain which would puz
zle the skill of his parents. He knows
quantity and form and color. He has
an enlarged vocabulary, and is corres
pondingly capable of receiving ideas.
To his list of acquisitions must be added
his training of hand. This last asset
will be appreciated by the teacher who
has sometime had the task of teaching
chubby fingers to grasp the pencil, not
like a spear, not like a hammer—and to
direct its point toward the vicinity of
an obstinate base line.
Normal children beginning school at
the age of eight or nine learn so much
faster than those entered earlier that
they usually quickly overtake them,
proving that children generally are put
m school too young.
However, the Kindergarten does not
claim to perform miracles, to secure to
children at five years of age the powers
for which many are still struggling at a
much later period. It aims to take a
child's nature where it is, and gradual
ly direct it into channels of helpfulness
to itself and others, it endeavors to
have the children realize the necessity
of controlling impulses and habit; it be
gins (but cannot finish) the formation
of habits of observation and attention, of
having an opinion and expressing it
well, and at the right time; of following
direction as well as of leading; 01
giving opportunity to others, of obedi
ence, of cleanliness, of order, of truth,
of "doing unto others as you would
that they should do unto you."
Last, but not least, the Kindergarten
child, since all this development has
been brought about in that spirit of
play which is genius, comes to us with
a school attitude that is golden—a hap
py expectancy which is fit substitute
tor voluntary attention.
Kindergarten training cannot easily
be over estimated.

WHY IS THE
BLOCKED? V
The Catawba-Alexander bildge
proposition still hangs fire. After
a long discussion at the last
meeting of the board, Monday,
final action was postponed until
Sept. 14. Meantime the commit
tee on location, Messrs. Shufta-d,
Sigmon and Hudson, will confer
with the Alexander committee.
The commissioners of %oth
counties express themselves as
favorable to the proposition but
every time they come to the
point of making the order, some
| little technicality, either real or
imagined, is brought up by .the
county attorney. "■
This is surprising, because r he,
as mayor of Newton, has a.re
cord for progress and for spend
ing the town's money liberally
and wisely. Newton has never
had a tetter mayor. He is, too,
the pioneer in the ,j£iaca dam
work in this county. " f
His friends —and he has a lot
of friends—are surprised that
he has allowed himself, uncon
sciously, no doubt, to become the
advocate of the opposition to the
bridge instead of the impartial
adviser of the board.
Th.qre is no real cause of jeal-
Newton and Hick
ory and each should help 4 the
other to advance. The Democrat
was saying as much editorially
last week and the Newton News
heartily seconded the sentiment.
We are sure the great majority
of Newton people echo this sen
men t.
Thousands of dollars have been
spent on building bridges over
the South Fork and Clark's crak
and every one on roads leadiqtr
to Newton. Hickory township
has not only not complained but
has applauded the commissioners
in spending every dollar of this
money.
The citizens of Hickory and of
the part, of Alexander affected
by the bridge have raised nearly
$4,000 to supplement the appro
priations of the two counties and
have met every requirment that
has been asked. Yet when it
comes to the point of making the
order, the cry virtually is:
"It is for the benefit of Hick
ory, so let us kill it!"
We are confident this is not the
general felling and the commis
sioners surely will not be influ
enced by a jealous handful.
Hickory township pays more
than one-third of the taxes of
this county and receives less con
sideration than any other part of
it.
This fact ought to keep the
commissioners from allowing a
prejudiced few from blocking the
substantial progress of the coun
ty.
The site for this bridge was
not selected by the Hickory
Chamber of Commerce,but by the
State engineer, who looked the
river up and down for four miles,
and chose the least expensive
point,
We are entitled to this appro
priation and we know that the
advocates of the bridge are de
termined to have it or exhaust
the judiciary and every other
available power that may be ap
pealed to. The time has come
when patience ceases to be a vir
tue.
It is only proper and due a good
man to say that the county chair
man, Mr. J. W. Shuford, has,
done everything he could to get
the appropriation through but on
every hand he is blocked by cap
tious objection.
The committee on location men
tioned above met in Hickory Ju
ly 28 and agreed to recommend
the appropriation of $6,000 for
building this bridge at a point a
bout one and a half miles below
Moore's Ferry .but for some reas
on or other the order has never
been made. Now the people of
this city and township and vicin
ity want to know why. What
influences have caused the board
to stop when it had gone to the
point of agreeing upon an appro
priation and site. Come out
from under cover and show your
hand.

Always Answered.
Children ofteu are highly logical,

They attain conclusions by those proc

quite unbiased by the opinions of
others, sometimes result In startling
truths.
Almost everybody, for instance, has
heard of the little lad who, listening to
the questions of an irreligious friend of
the family as to what would happen
supposing that one good Christian
should pray for an east and another
for a west wind at sea, innocently an
swered that of course there'd be an
awful tempest, but not every one has
heard of the equally pertinent and
naive solution recently offered by a
thoughtful youngster for the ever per
plexing problem of "Are prayers an
swered?"
The child was talking with another,
who asked the vexed aid puzzling
question, explaining at the time
that he didn't believe that prayers
were answered, because he fv* got
anything be asked for.
"You don't pray for the right things."
answered Httle Mr. Wiseman. "Of
course all prayers are answered, but
sometimes the answer Is 'Tea' and
sometimes It's 'No.' "—Chicago Record-

It Exposes Republican Failure
to Keep Tarriff Promises—
The Ship Subsidy
Danger
Special Washington Correspondence of
The Democrat.
Washington. Sept. B. Spend
ing nearly $200,000 a day more
than it took in, the government
closed the month of* August with
a deficit approximating $5,000,000
which is indicative of a deficit of
of $70,000,000 for this fiscal year
as against a deficit of $19,480,752.-
43 for the last fiscal year.
This deficit was due to two
principle reasons:
First: The unparalleled extra
vagance of the standpat faction
of the Republican party, which
is in control of the government.
Second: Failure of the Payne-
AJdrich tariff law to produce suf
ficient revenue to meet the ex
penses of the government.
The statement of the treasury
issued at the close of business
August 27 shows that the excess
of expenditures over receipts for
July and the fiirst 26 days of
Ausust, 1910, amounted to $14,-
431,727.34, or an average deficit
of $288,634.54 for each banking
day in that period. No one could
possibly so understand the situa
tion, however, from the reports
carried by the big press associa
tions, which invariably give the
administration side of the gov
ernment finances.
What the Figures Show
How are these daily deficits
made up? The amount of the
deficit is taken from the general
fund. How does the money get
into the general fund? It comes
from the people. Figures best

The 1910 Campaign Book
Every Democratic worker in
the country should have a copv
of the 1910 Democratic campaign
bood, which is without doubt the
best handbook on the tariff now
in print. One of the unusual
features of the book, as contrast
ed with past campaign books, is
its utilization of Republican ut
terances to sustain Democratic
arguments. Thirty-six of the 516
pages of the book are made up
exclusively of speeches by Re
publicans, who take practically
the same position on many of the
big issues as the Democratic
leaders. The committee is ask
ing $1 for the book, which goes
toward defraying expenses of
the Democratic Congressional
Committee. Not having been
favored with contributions by the
great industrial concerns of the
country, the Democratic commit
tee must rely largely upon con
tributions from the people. Those
who are really unable to contri
bute the dollar to the campaign
fund, however, may secure a
copy of the campaign book free.
Contributions and requests for
the book should be addressed to
the Hon F. F. Garrett, treasurer
of the National Democratic Con
gressional Committee, Washing
ton, D. C.
Ship Subsidy Bobs Up
In his letter to the Republican
Congressional Committee Presi
dent Taft serves notice on the
country that if the next House is
Republican the Ship Subsidy bill
will be passed.
The Republicans had intended
putting the $5,000,000 ship subsi
dy grab through at the last ses
sion, but were sidetracked by a
scandal which brought about a
Congressional probe of the busi
ness methods of the Merchant
Marine League of Cleveland, 0.,
which concern had been attacking
and intimidating members of
Congress opposed to the subsidy
grab. It developed at the hear
ing that the attacks on the op
ponents of shipping subsidies
had been carried on with money
subscribed by subsidary concerns
of the steel trust, and other pri
vate individuals and companies
which would profit by the pas
sage of legislation appropriating
money from the treasury to
private shipowners.
