The accident, was unavoid- {able. He stopped his car as soon as possible, and afterwards had the { boy's wheel repaired for him. He did {bot know the lad's name, but stated | that he did not suffer injury. One of the witnesses for the prose- cution declared that as Mr. Barrett came along King street he was run- ning on the wrong side of the street; but the accused denied this, and the witness he called also denied this statement. The Magistrate stated that he would like to secure the evi- dence of the boy in the case, and for this reason an adjournment was made until Thursday. H. A. Stewart was also charged with a violation of the Motor Vehi- cles Act. He did not appear, but sont a plea of "guilty," and a fine of $5 and costs, or fifteen days in jail, was imposed. KINDERGARTEN Is ESSENTIAL | Dean Coleman Gave Address Before London Teachers' Association. Prof. Coleman, Dean of the Facul- ty of Education of Queen's Jnivers- ity, was one of the speakerg before the meeting of the London Teachers' | Association. Referring to his ad- dress, the London Advertiser says: {| "I am old-fashioned enough to be- lieve in the kindergarten," said Prof. {Coleman in the course of his address {on "The Meaning of Play." "I believe in the kindergarten sys- | tem," he continued, "and I believe it | still has an essential place in educa- | tion and a great future. I agree | largely with Froebel that play is an embryo of all that develops later in | the life of an individual. Play has | within it the germs of all art The | only art worth while is the art based | on spontaneous art in the activity of | the child. { "Play has in it all the germs of | later invention. The man who in- | vented something worth while was | never governed by the principle of | an eight, ten or fifteen-hour day. The | success was made by keeping at the | thing because it was impossible to | let go. "Froebel goes 50 far as to take the stand that play has in it the germs of later morality. The justification of the public schoo! over the private | school is that.in the public school boys and girls are required to live | and work together and give and take |and understand. | "Ta learn to live comfortably, ac- | ceptably and effectively with fellow- | creatures is one of the most import- {ant things in life. In play children learn to get along with others. The | difference between work and play is that work is an end in itself, while | lay is joy and activity." The speaker emphasized the im- i portance of getting the "play atti- | tude" towards work, the attitude de- j 2c ibed by Kipling in his epilogue, | "To work for an age at a sitting and | never grow tired at all and each for | the joy of working." | ---- | REV.

In | event, however, of installation, it would be necessary, in complying with the Canadian Fire Underwriters' requirements, to maintain banked fires under the boilers which were connected to the Inglis pump, and by this procedure ,the total pumping capacity of the station would not be increased much more than five per cent If the Commission was prepared to spend $10,000, Engineer Kribs [showed how the pumping capacity could be increased twenty-five per | cent. He.woul!d retain the present { pumps, and would install in the old | pump house an electric pump cap- able of pumping 33,000 gallons a | minute. | The report is in the hands of the | Commissioners, and will be consid- | ered at a later date. | | 18 REPORTED WOUNDED {| Young Kingston Officer Serv- ing With the 50th Bat- talion.
