KIXDERGARTEN EXHIBIT Work from Many Lands at Museum of Natural History. When the doors open this rooming upon the exhibit of kindergarten work in the Museum of Natural History, displayed there in connection with the convention of the International Kindergarten T'nion.

now in progress at Teachers College, child lovers will have chance to studr child minds as expressed through childish fir.gftrs. Children in ell parts of the world svre represented. There are clay tipuree modailed by tiny Filipinos, and there is a folding book work-d with all the different kinds of stitches, a little mind Germany did for her doll. There are exhibits from England, from Mexico from any number of American kindergartens, including; an Indian one in the far West. But the same principle unites them all, aune development of endless usec from a few simple primary forms.

"Here is the beginning of In the kindergarten," said Mrs. M. B. Liongzettel. chairman of the committee in charge of the exhibition, taking up some balls from one end of the table filled by the New- York Kindergarten 'Association.

"These are the first things given the baby to play with. The point is to put the child in possession of certain forms and ideas. co that when he goes out Into the world he may have standards by which to pick out the things that are best and most beautiful. Organization always In the teacher's mind, but of course it mustn't be Imposed on the chile." Nothing. Judging from this exhibition, is imposed on tho child that discourages originality.

Quaint are some of the forms this quality takes, and curious It is to note how the child's mind Is Influenced by his surroundings. Further along on the table of the New York Kindergarten Association is a group of buildings made of blocks. little chap of five, evidently a commuter's son. has made a neat "suburban station." Another, who must be fond of bedtime stories, has constructed an imposing "knight's castle." In the things made of paper and cardboard there is a wide range of selection, all the way from clothes reels hung with of startlingly realistic cut to circus wagons filled -with raging, romping bears. 1 Some of the specimens of "free-hand tearing" are -wonderfully artistic A small child, with a few pieces of paper, torn across without a guide ejid pasted on a cardboard foundation, can produce a really effective picture.

One marine view of three shades of green, with bits of white paper for waves and sails, might have been done with paint, and not Here are long strings of beads, strung. in ones twos and hrees of contrasting colors, in doing which the child unconsciously learns to count. Here are big cards, on which children have pasted pictures expressing some fundamental idea, pictures selected by themselves. One, called "the mother idea," has Millet's picture of the father and child in the middle, and around it prints of a mother pig and a mother bird and a mother squirrel, each surrounded by her young A Thanksgiving card, done by a girl of five, shows a big round pumpkin cut out of colored paper, with a turkey and various vegetables, and one Easter card bears some most effective chickens, which examination prove to be made of two perrectly round pieces of yellow paper, a small, one for the head z.nd a bigger one for the body, with beak and legs of crayon. There is also an exhibition of work, things made 1 mothers to amuse their children at home.

The children who, are taken to this exhibition hang entranced before the big cardboard house, a bouse furnished more completely than most real houses are. There Is even a rolling pin on kitchen table. This house comes from the Normal School In Washington, and the makers thoughtfully left the windows open, bo any paseer-by view the rooms. Every kindergarten enthusiast must look with reverent attention at the contents of a certain case la corner of the hall. These are Froebel relies, sent over from the German museum.

"Here," Mrs. Longrettel said, pointing to sjome dingy little worsted balls, "are the very toys Froebel used to take out of his pocket for th' children to play with, as he went about trying to interest people in his idea. Here is the original chart he used, with his little wooden felocks. It is quite wonderful that Fraulein I He. rwart.

A. R. on Old Colonial Grange. With picturesque and appropriate ceremonies a bronze tablet, marking the house from which Alexander Hamilton went to his death in the fatal duel with Aaron Burr, was unveiled by the Washington Heights Chapter of tho Daughters of the American Revolution. The tablet has been affixed to the pillars at the right hand of the steps leading up to the old Colonial mansion, and bears the following Inscription: HAMILTON GRANGE.

To Editor of The Tribune. Sir: The. announcement by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of its Intention to erect drinking fountains for man and beast will be bailed with Keen delight by all lovers of the No better work could be done, nor wo lid it be possible to prevent a greater amount of animal suffering with the tame expenditure of money than by the erection of drinking fountains. In an appeal Issued by the society handsome and artistic fountain designs approved by the Art Commission are shown and tlie price of each is given. Permission has been Riven by the Board of Aldermen and the Art Commission to erect replicas of these desuma at certain selected suitable points in the city, but the society will be unable to profit by this permission unless funds are placed at its disposal to provide the fountains.

The society also hopes) and expects to obtain the permission of the. Art Commission to erect a large number of simple, Inexpensive drinking troughs in the more congested of tho city, where they are most needed. It deplores the fact that such expensive fountains must be provided for the principal thoroughfares, but tho Art Commission. which is the official censor in such matters, and object a very commendable to beautify th city, requires that public structures of kind must come up to a certain standard of artistic merit. It does not seem possible that the animal loving people of New York will fail to respond liberally to this appeal on behalf of the faithful animal from which mankind derives so many benefits.

Any one who has watched the. long procession of tired, thirsty horses wafting on a summer day for their turn to drink at one, of the few fountains In this city must have had his heart touched with pity that more adequate drinking facilities for have not Ions: since been provided. In this respect metropolis Is far behind other American cities and the cities of Europe. us hope that Individuals, as well as tho large corporations and private owners of horses, will contribute generously to this fund, to tho end that no horse In New York n. Ed go without water for the want of a public place nt which to oueneh its thirst.

After the matter had been explained to hitn the President made the following Indorsement on the statement: Department of Justi In view of statements of the Judges, bank presidents, and so forth, who know him, I think Anderson's years of life as an honest citizen, hard working and of soo-l repute, warrant us In commuting his sentence at oncp or In pardoning him outright. Which do you think ought to be done 0 Are there sufficient reasons for not d.ili:ET either? T. K.

The Department of Justice, irpon receipt of President Roosevelt's memorandum, dispatched letters to the trial and the District Attorney who tried Anderson asking for a report on the case and a recommendation to whether or not he should receive executive clemency. When these reports are received the department will make a report to the President. I'ntil that Is done no action will he taken. Leaven-worth.

For many centuries there have been a few followers of the altruistic idea that work done by people In a community Is mure beneficial to humanity than work done by Individual for hi! sole Interest. Kaon d' has found some man eager to d'-monstrate 3 theory, and lias brought men and women eager to follow him. Failures have beon fur more numerous than successes. At Jamestown in 1607 and at Plymouth fi the plan of having all earnings placed In common stock was without success. The Labadlst Community of ProtPfitant mystics, one hundred strong, settled on 4,000 acres in Northern Maryland In 1880, and rtie of the Woman the Wilderness" was established on the Wlssal Ickon River In Pennsylvania in 1684.

Both soon became of the past. Religious bodies and non-religious bodies follow, on tbe heels of these, but after a wavering, glimmering flicker, these little lights endeavor sooner or later failed. Charles Fourier, the famous socialist of France was responsible for many community settlements In the nineteenth century. He believed In common holdings, with a wnall division of profits. In his opinion tho net earnings of the community Should be Into twelve parts.

Five of these parts were to fro to labor, four to capital and three to talent. Robert Owen, of Lanark, Scotland, the first man In the world to secure legislation that protected women and children In factory life and established shorter working hours, was another Inspiration for communal colonies. Bach had his Ideas represented in Rome part of the wilderness country of the United Sta; s. mo notnbie communistic settlement In thp United States was probably Brook Farm, because of the high Ideals it meant to maintain and of the brilliant tn women connected with It In 1841 club composed of people who called thrmselves Transcendentalism chose a farm nine miles out from Boston, organized a stock company to finance It. and under the leadership of the Rev George Ripley went In for the simple life with a They established their lives on basis of wisdom and purity.

Owen came over again In 1828 to see if the Mexican government would nol lands for other communities, and In 1845 called world's convention In New fork to discuss his v.tst for the cial bettermenl and uplifting of all people. Horace Oreeley was the godfather of an interesting colony that flourished for a few years forty miles from New York. This was known as the North American Phalanx. It was founded near Monmouth. N.

.1 In 1843, and lasted until 1856, its principles being those, advocated by Fourier. The colony was a large one, owning acres of good land, with shops, dairies', farms and factories. If also owned stock In the steamboat and railway lines that ran Into New York. For some reason dissensions arose, the financial affairs got tangled, though Mr. Orceley offered to lend any amount of money necessary, and after a few years' experiment the members drew out their shares and went their way.

Ktlenne Cabet, a French socialist and a member of a society called the Icarlan.s, believed in ISI7 he could colonize a million of his people in Texas. That state had Just been admitted to tho Union and was offering great Inducements to settlers. Through a Chicago real estate company Cabet as he thought, more than a million acres on the Rod River In Texas, lie chose sixty-three of his best young men and sent them over in 1818, but they found that they had been cheated in the land. A greater emigration was checked because three weeks after the first settlers left France became a republic. The second instalment of settlers was only nineteen, instead of 1,500, as had been All returned to New Orleans, and when Cabet cams with four hundred snore in the colony moved to Nauvoo, 111., where a recent exodus of Mormons had left many vacant houses and farm, lands.

They immediately set up shops, opened farms and became prosperous for a while. Politics soon upset thair scheme, however, and it ultimately failed. Another settlement that was under foreign direction was that at Rugby, on tho Cumberland This was engineered by an Kngllsh known as "Board of Aid to La.a<l Land of Sunshine, balmy days, perpetuaJ summer.
