The Kindergarten.
Tts Beginnino, Development and
Results.
Ad account of tho kindergarten in
Germany, the place of its origin, and
where it ia in eucoissful operation, may
prove interesting to those who couoeru
themselves with education..1 matters.
We take it from au able French work
by Edgar Bourleion, entitled ''L'Alla
mtiguc Contemporaine," the author
having been taken prisoner in the late
Franco Prussian war, and, while con
Giiod in Germany, occupied in studying
all sorts of German institutions for the
bencGl of his somcwhnt heedless couutry
men. He finds a great deal to ad uire
in Germany, and among other th'ngs
the kindergarten for the proper educa
tion of children to prepare .them for
schools.
THE FIRST KINDKROAtlTr N.
Frcebel, who was born in 1782 at
_Qberweis8baoh, a village in Thuringi.in*
forcastTlinrr^
stimulated to do so by his own suffet iugs
iu childhood. He was a disciple of
1'Pestalozzi, a Swiss and a reformer of
popular schools. After ?the war of 1813
Fromel established at ICeLlhau, in
Thuringiu, u school for children ol* from
two to 80vuu years of age, bringing to
bear on t/he .theory of nature's process
the experience of his own chtldhoo 1.
Hp culled this School a "kindergarten,"
or child guiduti, for the reason, as he
btated, that u child .was a young jdaut.
and tliatuld bcr-ecred accordingly. At
first he was pronounced .crazy and an
innovator ; after some experience with
his .method -the {people finally praised
him ; official interference not only ceased
duning h-i* lifetime, hu' the government,
at ItlktfcucbUrnged him. In short Eroi j

iug out of fragments new material for
-more iiitcrrsting obje-ts. The fashion ;
ing of somenbing new out of spiuutliing
old or chaotic is a natural instinct. Free
be! devoted himself tc regulating this
creative, itnfibutile instinot, the recogui
lion ofwhidh is so important in the de
velrpment of the faculties of observation
and imagination. ile accordingly or
ganized the kindergarten with a view to
an exercise of the infantile hand and
mind by es<sy work andsi.nplo amuse
mentn, while he disciplined the under
standing by singing and by games of
?ever increasing complexity. In carrying
out this plan neVer did he depart from
tlie scope of infantile accomplishment.
TllK TIIKOltY IN PllACTICE.
Nothing, Bays M. Bourleion, is more
interesting than a visit to a German
kindergarten It consists ol a large
well-vcntilatcd structure, to which is
alwuys attached a garden plauted with
trees and flowers. The children occupy
its various rooms according to age, the
hoys on ono side and the girls on tho
other-; a child is admitted as soon as it
can walk ; they number all sizes, from
two to six. years of age. Frccbcl was
averse to sending children to regular
jchools bo lore tho ago of seven. The]
ohildrcn of tho rich linvo kiudcrgartens

M'.viii dollars a ycai is made, while the

a halt cent per day for two meals sup

Let us visit ono of the kindergartens
.Or the poor. It is nine o'clock in the
morning, and the children enter, bring
ing along with them a Bmall bit of
bread to eat before the midday meal
An inspection for cleanliness takes
place ; no Inrge spots, holes or ieuts are
ulloWed; ull this, indeed, being furo
stullcd by tho pride as well as interests
\)1 tbtf parents. Each child p:;-ses to
Vis. place At tho table on which play
things uro displayed; the smallest
occupy 'themselves' with little wooJon
blocks, building Walls, gate ways aud
' houses; each competing with the other.
Au idea of lines, shapes and proportions
?every conception, in fact, necessary in
the perfection of a nigh or complicated
edifice?is awakened in their little
brains. Each observes his neighbor's
work, and, when invention flags, copies
and imitates. Talking is permitted,
nnd thnr.ks to every one being occupied
with his own work, there is no noise.
The more advanced pupils are given
innre difficult tasks. Some weave to
gethcr strips of paper of different colors
aud of symmetrical design, like squ ires,
circles, at:irs and other shapes which re
quire closer attention. Practice renders
the children skillful, it being surprising
to see how rapidly the pnpnr glides
through their fingers, and i-sues fro n
booth in proper shape Others fill up
with a lead pencil progressive geometri
cal designs traced beforehand, und which
are afterwards reproduced without the
model with reuiarkeble accuracy.
Cithers execute in transparency, with
the point of :i pin, houses, dogs aud
(lowers, or repeat the outlines ol those
objects in worsted work. An hour of

children thoroughly un ler.st.iud that
which is ordinarily only indicated lo
them ; they are obliged to talk und get

rendered active iu matters where it is
usually passive.
THE I'UNISU.MKNT.
Thcrs remains one point inori on
which to say something, and that is the
philosophy of puhishinonb. In principle,
punishment is -not considered either as
curative or with a view to make an
example! It is avoided as much as
possible. Nenir is the child whipped,
on tba contrary, it is placed iu a cornor,
away from the playthings, und when
convinced that it has done wrong the
punishment ceases, lasting but a short
time, and ending ffhtri repentance
shows itself. The object is to let tho
child sec that labor, far from being a
trial is really a pleasure, true punish
uient consisting of a privation of work .
Children are never'praised on accoun t
ot dexterity, skill heilig regarded as the
natural result oi labor; thore is no
smiling nt awkwardness, no word boing
uttered that will provoke rivalry. Such
are the principles and oporation uf the
Qnrman kindergarten. Whon one oou
siders the mi.-chief dons to youth,
through the stimulating of prucooimia
talent, and tho injury to the brain by
forcing it to entertain iuoompruhcnsible
abstractions, both being evils in tho
briuging up of uur youth, it is well to
study a system like that of F:cobul's,
which seems to insure a sound, healthy,
natural development, by not bonding the
i wig in a wrong direction.

A gentleman connected with the en
gineer department, .Cincinnati Southern

moat cruel case of imprisonment, at
Iltintsville, Scott County, Toon., during
,thc suDiuier of 1873. Tho remarkable
prisoner and the chcumslauces attend
tug bis cruel confinement WBTpHanvtfr'
the notice of the engineers by Urlasryer
natnod Overtoil, who was in that county
investigating some land titles. Being
"n Xlr.ntsville one day, Orerton's atten
tiou was attracted by the conversation
of some frequenters of an applo brandy
'mill.' The party were much eacited
over the cruel and outrageous iinprion
ment of'one of our feUojya,' at the.in
stance of some wretch of a- United
States marshal. Overtoil's sympathies
were excited, and he inquire^d-rtlf? '
cause and circumstances of the imprison
ment.' 'a SrMfASZ ?'aT SCtSTiTaVI
'Thar he is,' said the spokesman of
the party; 'oycr thar on the fence '
Overtoil looked across the street and
beheld a seedy individual perched upon
the fence, leisurely whittling4 a plue
shing'e. The sympathetic lawyer ap
proached the prisoner and inquired o'
him If he was ia trouble. *f*1fl*f*J ?d"!

?Yaas,' said the Spokostnau; 'it's a !
shame. Iheiu marshals had better not
come about here no more* Come over
and have a drink.
And the whole party, prisoner in leu
d-ed, adjrmi tied to the'niill' and iook a
' drink of brandy.
In a le-w days 'one of tho- hoy.*' of the
csig^UoeF corpse, who had heard of this
renn rknbld prisoner, visited the jail at
II unt.-ville The door stond wide open,
and a iinn was in the on ;y room alone,
hammering away at some sort of carpen
tcr work.
In answer to the question if he was
the unfortunate man who was suffering
the mi.dort ones of imprison meat for
tho crime of making a few gallons of
eye npi ucr lie replied.
?Yaas- Got me in here.' An! the
suffering convict put on such a loik of
distress that tho man of transits and
targets said.
'An outrageous 'shame. Come over
and let's have a drink.'
Aud over went the two, the prisoner
locking the door behind him.
The next day or two, two q? the engi
