SENSIBLE TALK. The Free Klndcrffarteii Movement in Cbarlenton, S. ('. Tbe Keystone, Charleston, S. C. Standing an we do to-day, at tbe close of a wonderful century, and looking full of hope *nd anticipation, to another about to dawn. It In but natural that we should pause and wonder, wbat tbe historian of the future will think and say of the men, wowen and works of tbe nineteenth century. What will we find in Its records, which make it different from tbe ages gone before, wnat distinctive element, what characteristic trait will stamp it for 1 is own? While (It Is Impossible for the people of any age to see facts and events, or Judge their contemporaries as Impartially as will those who come after them, it is, nevertheless true, that a moment's thoughtful survey of this century's history will reveal certain characteristics aod tendencies which serve to mark Its trend of human thought and progress. Seen thus In retrospect, our nineteenth century appears as a period of great national upheavals, of crying needs and magnificent efforts and achievements to supply the popular uranr. iu first years are essentially re* volutionary. A universal cry for Individual as well as national and rellpious liberty, goes up from the peoples of every land. No sooner Is this freedom attained, tban tbe serf and downtrodden burgher of yesterday?tbe free citizen of to-day, seeks wider fields of usefulness, and sets forth from his remote country home to court fortune In tbe fast growing towns, and thus we come upon another pbase of our century's development?the growth of cities. This alone Is one of tbe period's most - striking characteristics and greatest social * problems?tbe tendency of people ol various nationalities to converge to one centre?tbe growth of the cosmopolitan spirit (if that term can be so used,) the rapid growth and overorowdlng of great cities, with consequent competition and rivalries, me uuivttnui muuductlon of labor-saving macblnery, and the employ ment of men and women la tbe ever Increasing number of factories. And wltb this growth of cities, and multiplicity of factories, has arisen another need?tbe feeble ory of tbe children of tbe poor bas been beard In tbe land, and, fortunately, wltb tbe want has also come its relief?tbe Free Kindergarten. Tbe Kindergarten, that wonderful legacy to tbe children of every land and condition, that marvellous scheme of Infant education, which tbe immortal Kroebel and his followers have given us, was not only one of the greatest steps Id tbe forward march of modern educational progress, but is reoognized to-day as one of tbe most potent factors in the uplifting and betterment of humanity. To every child, be be rich or poor, tbe Kindergarten Is a Joy. a blessing. In it, be can learn but good; dormant talents and ability are awaaened; bis sense aDd love of tbe beautiful are aroused; bis body rendered supple by Judlolousand healthful exercise, becomes the ready servant of bis awakened intellect, and tbe active little hands, busily and pleasantly employed, are kepi irom tbe mischief and consequent punishment which, alas! falls to tbe lot of tbe aotlve unemployed child, who Is considered too young for school, but "old enongb to know better." While tbe Kindergarten cannot be too btglily praised for the good It does all children, tbere Is no sphere where its good result-) are more felt among than tbe children of tbe working man and woman. In tbeir cramped quarters the little ones have no play-grouud but tbe street, and there knowledge is often gained which, in after years, helps to All our penal Institutions. The weary mothers have hut little time to do more than ieed tbe hungry little mouths, while tbe poor little beam and minds are starved, or become hardened by neglect, and or lll-trealiuent. r Until recent years, this evil was not so apparent In our Southern towns; but now, that almost every village can boast at least one factory, and often more, it will soon be found that the children of the poorer operatives will need tneaia oi me iduukuuuiuuhcuiiui communities. To supply this need, Charleston had bad two Free Kindergartens In operation for several years, and a short sketch of their existence, work and influence may be an aid and Incentive to similar work in other portions ol our State. At the outset it must be told that botb these Kindergartens -are directed by Well-trained graduated Kindergartners, and it has always been tbe aim and ambition ol those supporting them to make tbem tbe 'eti;*K model Kindergartens. It is In tbe Cbkrlty Kindergarten particularly, that cul lured, sympathetic teachers are needed. Xotbinic must be done halfway; tbe best Is Hot too good for tbe children or tbe people. If, on tbe contrary, tbe Kindergarten oe left In tbe banus of half-trained or Ignorant teachers. no good results can ever be expected. Tbe first of Charleston's two Free KiuaergarteDB to be established was lounded by tbe Charleston Female Seminary Alumnce Association, and has been successfully conducted tor tbe past six years. It was long known as Hie "Factory Kindergarten," being situated near tbe Charleston Cotton Mills, though any poor children of tbe neighborhood were admitted. It Is now called tbe Kelly Kindergarten, In honor of Miss Etta Kelly, the founder and prlnolpal of tbe Charleston Female Seminary, who tau always evlnead great interest In this charity, founded and supported by ber former pupils. Tbe Kindergarten was the outgrowth of a Day Nursery, which bad been established some years previously by the King's Daughters, for tbe children of faotory operatives. Tbe children were kindly cared for by a matron In charge, but were an idle, ignorant and unruly little band. Being anxious to engage In pbilantbroplo work, the Alumna* took charge of tbe little ones (as the Nursery Idea was about to be given up) engaged a Klndergartner, furnished a modest Kindergarten outfit, and thus laid tbe foundations ot what has come to be regarded In tbe laclory district as a fixed Institution, and a power for -good. Indeed, during tbe past year, tbe Superintendent of tbe Cbarleeeon Cotton Mills gave the Alumnse tbe use of a room od me raciory gruuuun hoc, o<v"s> >u? Kindergarten bad no Improved tbe children of tbe neighborhood, that tbe good accomplished more than compensated for tbe hire of tbe room. * * In tbe conrae of time, a 'little change has oome in tbe administration of affaire, which but reflects the present tendency toward practical philanthropy, rather than old time charity giving and taking. Many of tbe prond poor (who always Buffer most) refused to send their children to a charity school, as they called the Kindergarten, and yet were not able to care for them In work hours, or Bend them to pay aobools. Tbe problem was Anally solved by obarglng those able to pay, Ave centp a week, with the understanding, that tbe children of any unable to afford even this amall sum, would be equally welcome. Tbe plan has worked admirably; it has given tbe cblldren, as well as the parents, a certain feeling of self-respect which might have been otherwise wanting, and small as tbe Bom may seem, the accumulated "tuition fees" aided quite utoely in buying Kindergarten materials and other supplies. During tbe past year, tbe attendance averaged about twenty five, and for part of tbe ttme over tblrty were on tbe Roll. One of tbe duties of tbe Director is to visit tbe mothers and try to discover any need among the children that It may be in tbe power of tbe Association to relieve. Of course tbe little ones have a Christmas tree each year; other holidays are appropriately celebrated, and it is always with regret that the little numls hear that tbe term Is at an end. The younger odc of the city's Free Klndergaten Is situated at the other extreme of the olty, near the wharves and warehouses, and Is successfully conducted by the South Carollna Kindergarten Association. It has been in operation since the Fall of 1895. Being supported by a stronger organization, It Is conducted on a larger scale than the first named pioneer Kindergarten, and during the past year numbered forty odd pupils, with two instructors In charge. At this Kindergarten, Instruction Is given entirely free, the city of Charleston by yearly appropriation aiding the Association In the supDort of this worthy Institution. This latter fact Is mentioned as a suggestion to any club who would enter the philanthropic field. The history of these first two of the State's Free Kindergartens has proved that such lnrant education is not a luxury, but an absolute necessity for the children of the poor in factory towns and crowded city Btreets, and It will not be long before the members of the Town Councils or any progressive place will gladly vote to aid Institutions whloh tnnd to train their children Into useful, self respecting men and women, and honorable citizens. Tbe women of tbe State can engage In no more worthy work than this rescue of children from the Influences of the city's highways. It Is mostly from tbe ranks of tbe untrained, Idle poor that our criminals come; do not wait until our men and women are in rags to give them alms, until tbey are bebind prison bars to reform them, but go to work now, wltb tbe children in the streets and roads; teach them tbe dignity and beauty of honest labor; train mind, and heart, and band: plant tbe seeds orusefulness and goodness In tbe cblld-garden of the lnfani poor, and tbe harvest will be a more prosperous community, a better citizenship, and happier homes !

[From the Christian's Quiver.] de According to previous announce- ment, the cornerstone of the St. James 1 A. M. E. church was laid Saturday " morning, June 10, 1899. Rt. Rev. A. be Grant, D. D., Bishp of the Seventh toEpiscopal District of the African M. E. j Church, conducted the services. , The Bishop arrived in Abbeville on Friday afternoon, and in the evening ] of the same day he delivered a lecture in the Court House on "Our Work in Africa," which land he has so lately visited. The lecture was instructive and entertaining to the large audience bg ?many having a desire, no doubt, to < learn the Bishop's position on the sub- be ject of emigration. His opinion is, , we believe, that no man should go ca to Africa until quite sure he can take care of himself. wi Saturday morning at 11.30 o'clock was the time appointed for laying the qi cornerstone. Long before the hour of 1 service quite a number of eager and Ti happy ones had gathered in the vicinity of the new building. The day was fo quite warm, and while waiting for the service hour the time was passed sf in pleasant conversation in shade of the beautiful trees, aud in partaking of 1 the Ice cream and lemonade which 5< was so abundant! Half-past eleven o'clock the vast con- pj gregation assembled in the church /tHo r>hiirr>hV wh?rf? the sermon was preached by the Bishop. The or- ? der of service was as follows: Selection by the choir? "Come, thou Almighty King." Hymn, "Blessed hour of Praj'er." ~ Scripture Lessons, I Kings, 5th chapter, and I Corinthians, 3rd chap- ?j ter, read by the Presiding Elder, Rev. Hiram Young. Bishop Grant selected for a text, I ? Corinthians, 3rd chapter and the 9th X verse: "For we are laborers together 0 with God." He spoke to some extent z on thfe subject of building, and bow X in the early history of mankind the 9 Creator was worshipped in groves and x forests; then, the altar was erected in 6 the wilderness; afterward the taber- 9 nacle was instituted ; and, finally, the 2 temple wan built and dedicated to di 5 vine service; and ever since that day 9 men have been erecting houses in m which to worship God. It is needless T to attempt a description of the seruion. ft is well known how plainly and I forcibly Bishop Grant can p-e.ient the n truths of Scripture, and it is also k known that be is a master in eloquence and oratory.
