When to Begin Studying the People From Other Lands In our little home kindergarten we have begeun already to study our foreign neighbors. _ The chilâ€" dren are all preâ€"school age, but they enjoy the little imaginary stories woven about French, Polish, Finn or Indian children as much as the grownâ€"up representatives of their reâ€" spective countries enjoy the actual facts told to them at a Locarno conâ€" ference. I have found that the best time to begin teaching children an understanding‘of the foreign populaâ€" tion is the moment when they gradâ€" uate from the inclosure of their front yards, and begin to come into actual contact with their neighbors â€" and that time comes even before they are old enough to attend public school. A family of French Canadans live directly behind us, so they were the first to interest my children in a household which, though living their lives somewhat differently from ourâ€" selves, was still basically the same, having the same love for each other, the same give and take between the children, the same care and guidance on the father‘s and mother‘s parts. iThe first week‘s programme in our kindergarten which had to do with children was based on the little stories of ‘‘The Poppy Seed Cakes"‘ book, by Margery Clark (Doubleday Page Co.). The Russian designs in the illustrations were so bright and full of color that they delighted the children, as did the stories themâ€" selves because they dealt with the common events and joys of childhood. Little Andrewshek became a real friend. The children constructed his bedroom, drawing the bright designs on the furniture similar to the deâ€" sions in the illustrations, and conâ€" triving a feather bed of paper and paper bits like Andrewshek‘s, upon which he loved to bounce up an down. LOOKED VERY DANGEROUS : BUT NO SERIOUS HARM DONE Timmins Writer Deals With Interesting Question in Thoughtful Way. Describes Work of Home Kinderâ€" garten to Bring Better Understanding Between the Different Races and Peoples on This Continent. On the Educational Page of The Christian Science Monitor of recent date there is a thoughtful and interâ€" esting letter from a Timmins writer. The article suggests in effective way the lesson that from understanding comes mutual resvect and harmony, and that the best time to begin underâ€" standing our fellow citizens who hapâ€" pen to be of different tongue or race is in the days of the kindergarten. The article, given prominent position in The Monitor is as follows:â€" Later the children were presented with a Polish print representing some Polish people on their way to church. There were the mother, baby, ‘Saturday afternoon what. looked ltke the makings of a very serious accident occurred at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Pine street, but the proverbial Timmins luck held and no serious harm resulted from all the danger. A team belonging to. Mr. John Watt was coming along Fourth Avenue with the bread wagon, and part of the pole became unhooked or broke, allowing the wagon to swing around and startle the horses. The team is a wellâ€"fed and spirited one and they had reached a very fierce speed before they tried to round the corner at the Goldfields. The wagon swung one way and the horses breaking loose tore along the other way, the wagon goimg at breaking loose tore along _ the other way, the wagon going at startling speed in the one direction, while the horses went over the sideâ€" walk right into the entrance to the Goldfields Hotel. The team brought up on their knees right by the step. They were quiet by this time and were found to be unhurt. The two men in the bread wagon were also found to be uninjured. The whole very â€" dangerous â€" looking incident was concluded without any serious harm of any kind, except the injury to wagon and harness. Many who saw part or all of the affair, however, commented on the good luck that for the minute or two kept the sidewalk clear. It was perhaps the only minâ€" ute or two that some man or woman or youngster had not been passing in the line of walk used for the final rush of the frightened team. In regard to the political sitution a Western newspaper says that it can be said with certainty that the only thing that is clear at the moment is that nothing is at all clear. LOnitor 1s As Tollows} Timmins, Ont. Special Correspondence. I always feel that when the chilâ€" dren earry their kindergarten proâ€" ject into their daily, afterâ€"school acâ€" tivities they have really aequired something from the morning‘s work. This happened the day we used rulers to draw borders which we filled with colorful units of design inspired by the Polish poster,. _ One of the little girls spent the entire afternoon drawing designs in every color combination imaginable and applying them to book «overs, and paper doll dressesâ€"all this without any further encouragement from me. If any mother doubts that her child would be interested in such things let her put up on the wall a colorful animated peasant picture, weave a simple tale about the charâ€" acters and call attention to the beauâ€" tiful design of the embroideries. Then with paper, ruler, and colored crayons the child needs little urging to copy and invent designs and borâ€" ders. In telling the story of the Polish print I took the names from some of the characters in ‘*‘The Peasants‘"‘ (the Nobel Prize book) and by reâ€" reading to myself one of the living, glowing descriptions I was able to reconstruct a vivid picture for the children a picture which though imâ€" acinative was inherently true to ‘the life of such peasant folk. and little daughter in one family group, and a father, mother and son in another group. Again the bright posterâ€"like design appealed to their taste, while the bright stripes and embroideries were an incentive to studving desion. ; It seems to me that such construeâ€" tive work as this will open the chilâ€" dren‘s thought to a world beyond their immediate environments, will connect it intimately with the activiâ€" ties of their own lives, will make them sympathetic, in the sense of openmindedness toward their forâ€" eign neighbors, and pave the way for a keen interest in world affairs; i other words, to teach them to begin to think internationally. The following incident illustrates my point clearly. A friend had been weaving a story for older children based on material â€" mostly colored picturesâ€"of Finland, which a Finn had given her. She wanted to find out if her story was basically true, so she read it to the Finn and asked her if everything in it sounded as though it could have happened to any Finn child. _ The Finn listened with close attention, and smiled with pleased â€" asquiescence, ‘‘Yes, yes ! That is all true, but how could you know how we feel and do thing just from those pictures?"‘ My friend responded simply that all mothers of whatever nationality love their children, and do the best they know how for them; that all litâ€" tle girls and boys of whatever counâ€" try have very similar desires and amâ€" bitions though they dress in different clothes speak in different _ lanâ€" guages,. Without overdrawing the 1dea too much, is not such w ork with children the first step toward teachâ€" ing the universal brotherhood of man? ISLAND FALLS CURRENT NOW ON AT THE FPALLS The power from Island Falls was turned on Friday of last week into the new boiler house. On Wednesday the juice was switched on t otry out the boiler equipment and the line. Everything was found to : be in good shape and there was no trouble exâ€" cept a few minor details. _ Friday morning the current was turned on permanently and steam was developed and distributed into the mill. The power from Island Falls is from the twentyâ€"five cycle generators and is at 110,000 volts. The boilers are set for 205 pound pressure but the ordinary pressure is 150 pounrds. The sixty cycle transformers were unloaded during the past week and installation is now going on. The North Bay team is anxious to get some practice before the semiâ€" finals and they have adopted the method of exhibition games. _ They want to come here on the 18th and to Timmins on the 19th. It is quite probable that the locals will accomâ€" modate them, provided the necessary arrangements can be made. EXHIBITION HOCKEY AT IROQUOIS FALLS, DEC. 18th The following from this week‘s Broke Hustler will be of interest:â€" If present arrangements go through the first hockey match of the season will be on December 18th. The juniors are hard at it every night under Trainer Bosse who gives them setting up exercises every night with medical ball and skipping followâ€" ing it. The boys have been working hard and when the first clash comes they should be in first class condition. When there is ice for practi¢e Percy Fahey will coach the team.
