Took, the mperintendent of the cotton exchange, has our thanks for a framed copy of his tabulated statement of the cotton movement for the year ending the first of September Last. It is a most credit able piece of work creditable alike to him and Mr. Tracy, the printer and cannot fail to challenge the admiration of all who see it. The tide of tiade ha at last set in. Nine bundrel bales of cotton were received yester day, and we mar reasonably expect that hereafter, during the season, we shall rapidly gain until we have passed the beat averages of other days. Our merchants are active and rnlerprutiug, honest and earnewt, and there is no reason why we ihould not this year make rapid strides toward regaining the prosperity of '59-"GO. Thk survivors of the First Tennessee (Confederate) regiment are making arrange ments for a reunion, which has been appointed to take place at Nashville on the twenty-fifth instant. Among other distin guished personages expected to be present ou the occasion we see mentioned the name of Oeneral Loring, who was with that regiment during ita first year's service, but who now commands all the armies of the khedive of Egypt. It now appears that Mr. Good, of Virgin ia, is not out of the race for speaker. In a recent letter to a friend ho says: "I am not willing to thrust myself forward as a candi date, because that would imply that in my opinion my claims and qualifications are su perior to all others.

It treat of the disease as it manifests itself in FanoU:? and shows that it is worse than even most lemocrats imagined. It is noth ing more than a scramble for office the mo tive power of most independents and is made np of a combination of nil the elements of Radicalism, dissatisfied Democrats and the Independent, who are ready to esoom-e the cause of either party for office. What we want just now is a revival of the old rebel yell, accompanied by a shot or two. The south is threatened with an inroad of tramps, who are moving on the principle of migratory birds.

The article which we copy on our second page from the New York Herald is a careful, candid and unanswerable review ot the prac tice and position of Hayes in the matter of civil service. The Herald, while dealing kindly with the President, is very severe, not only making charges, but proving them by names and places. The truth is Hayes is just a ltttla tinctured with demagogueUm, gloesed by a shade of religious feeling. The ''God and Humanu" business is mixed in htm in about equal quOe. and both are drawn out as occasion ma require. He is a poli tician in a high place--tbats all. The Washington correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune states th;t the con tent for some Urn going on in the ranks of the Democratic party of New York, over the question of the State ticket, bids fair to re.ult in favor of those who desire an entirely neV ticket. The friends of Governor Til Jen and Governor Robinson desire the re-nomination of the present State officers. Tho Tammany influence, headed by John Kelley, together with tho friends of Kx-Governor Church, are lor a new ticket. The fight is regarded as a continuation of the straggle which took place in 176 fjr delegate to St. I)uis. At the fourth annual congress of the Prot estant tlpiacorol church, to be held in New York on the twenty-eighth of October, and which is not to be confounded with the s.en ral convention of that church to be held about the fame time in Boston, the following topics will be considered: "The Church Archi tecture taat we Need;" "True Policy toward the Indian Tribe;" "The Relation of the Popular Prws to Christianity in America;" -"The Spiritual Forces in Civilization;" "'Christianity and Popular Amusements;" "The Influence of the Pulpit upon Modern Thought and Life;" "Organization and Ad ministration of Charity;" "The Relation of the Christian Chnrch to Social and National Iife in Americi." Addiesscs will also be de livered, or papers be presented, by eminent clergyman and laymen. PitEMDEvr Hates will let the cat out of the bag. In an interview with the editor of the Chattanooga Times, referring to the time when war was threatened at the north, over the anticipated intention of inaugurating Mr. Tilden, "be spoke with the utmost confidence concerning the result that would have fol lowed. Warming op as he spoke, though without thd least evideneo of vindictiveneaa in his heart, be remarked that ibey had three fourths of the army, and such other ad Fan -iage as could not hare been equaled in the event of a conflict." This part of the inter view was not prolonged, says tho Time. It would have been letter for Hayes if it had never taken place. In what he said he made ad minion of a conspiracy to rob Tilden of the Presidency, and shows that while courting now. he was not averse to bloodshed to coompliah the theft of the Presidency. The XashvtHe Democrats and Working men combined could not elect Duling mayor. Kercheval was elected for the third time, and by a majority over eleven hundred so de cide.! as to leave no doubt of the will of the peop'e. The Nashville A merican, account ing for a defeat so marked, says: "As usuul, numerous reasons are assigned for the result. Some object to the nomination made by the Democrats and Workingraen. This objection ccines from those who refuse to participate in or have anything to do with conventions; who always hold conventions to slrict accounta bility for their sins of omission and commis sion, and yet never give any credit for their good deeds. Others attribute the election of Kercheval to the lavish use of money. That money was used in his behalf in a very pro fuse manner was apparent to every citizen. That Kercheval has none to spend, and that the ward politicians who run his machine have none, are facts well known. Where did the money come from ? Who are the wealthy citizens who furnished it, and why did they desire the re-election of a man so notoriously incompetent? These are questions pertinent to a correct understanding of the vote yester day." A dispatch from Paris says it was iu mored la-t night that Due do Broglie and M. Berthout had resigned from the French cabi net. This repoit, for the present at least, is unfounded, but the alarm which it created was very remarkable! The dispatch goes on to say: "The apprehen sion of a forcible coup d'etat by the govern ment is so great here that the resignation cf the Due de Broglie and of certain of his col leagues, who are known to be opposed to any such measures, would be considered as a preface to the violation of the law, although it is hard to tell in whose interest such a vio lation would be. The empress disapproves of the government's course the sixteenth of May last. The prince imperial is also said to have lately expressed similar disapproval. To an interviewer he declared that he would not throw impediments in the way of regular government. It is certain that the opinion of the cabinet itself is divided. Some of its members think of a coup de force in case of a defeat at the election. Others, and the non-Bonapartist Conserva tives, contemplate a second dissolution, but the senate will not support a dissolution sim ply to help the government." All the fools are not dead. We must have one or more ia our midst as witness the efforts at treasure finding, supposed to lie at the bottom of the burning of Cochran's mill. A similar case has recently come to light in New Jersey, where Walter Chapin, a native of the State, sxty-five years of age, is at Ti conderoga, engaged in his fifth attempt to find a box containing eighty-five thousand dollars in specie, which he claims was hidd n at Osmand's bay in 1759 by the French pay masters who had to desert the Montcalm. He settled the . precise spot by use of old charts and a divining-rod, and at a depth of fifteen feet struck upon -something of wood and iron which he believed to be the box. He has mortgaged his fanu and put all the pro ceeds into his search, so that it is a case of life and death with him. Our readers will also remembar the hunt for Captain Kidd's treasure on Long Island, and the attempts an along the Mississippi to secure the buried fortunes of almost-forgotten adventurers,and 'go ot sunken steamers. Occasionally one of these ventures proves pM&mUa and gives results, but as a general thing they are of the ignis fatuus order, luring men on to loss of fortune and character. TnK members of the American Associa tion for the Advancement of Science, who went on the Texas excursion so generously tendered them by Vice-President John C. Brown, of the Texas and Pacific railway, traveled over three thousand miles, and visit ed Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Galveston and Sherman. Prof. E. D. Cope, of Philadelphia, remained at San Antonio, in the neighborhood of which he will spend a month or two in geological investigations, with a large party of laborers. Everywhere the press manifested the deepest interest in fur thering the objects of the tourists. The latter had been so much interested in the journey as to promise one of their number a carefully prepared series of articles on "Science in Tex as," to be published in book-form early next year. The excursionists unanimously adopted a series of resolutions highly complimentary to the Texans and railway officials for the generous hospitality and courtesies extended them, embracing similar expressions toward the railway officials of Tennessee and the lo cal committee at Nashville, who contributed so liberally toward the very agreeable entertain ment of the members of the association dur ing its sitting in that city. We feel assured that much will be gamed to our State by the assemblage of so large a number of the lead ing scientists of the country at Nashville, de veloping as it has to thein such a wide field for investigation and research in all branches of science.

Insults and Aggravations Leading to the Commission of the Crime Attempts to Secure an Apolojry and Re traxit The Fatal Shot At half-past twelve o'clock Sunday, Frank W ait was shot twice by Alex. J . vvooiaruige, in front of the l'eabodv hotel, and will prob ably die from the effects of the wounds. As soon as the two shots were fired a big crowd began to assemble at the Pcabody Hotel, in order to ascertain the CAUSE OF TUB DIFFICULTY, which was so unexpected and in such a pub lic locality, the tacts of the case anu prov ocation for the shootine of Mr. Wait are al ready known to many of onr readers. Among me ex-reuerai soldiers attending me von federate reunion at Estival park, Saturday, was Frank Wait. During the afternoon Mr. Wait became boisterous, and freely used prolane language, irrespective of the ladies and eentlemen who could hear his rvords. It is said, and is doubtless true. that Mr. Wait's disagreeable conduct during the day was partially due to liquor. Although four policemen had been sent to festival pars: by 1. it. Athy. cruet ot police. these officers did not attempt to quiet Wait, much less to take uini trom the grounds, Mr. Wait, among other things, cursed the bar-keeper and swore that be was a scoun drel and had swindled him. The police took no cotrnizance ot this, soon thereafter Mr Wait had a negro waiter to bring him a piece ot barbecued meat and claimed that he paid tho boy. This evidently aroused his anger, tor W ait, was beard to utter VERY UGLY EXPRESSIONS, and said that he could "whip any G d d d 8 n ot a b h ot a rebel on the grounds. Although his conduct was such as to cause his arrest, still he was not even remonstrated with oy the police. Later in the afternoon II'. "I 3 Al. . 1 L 1 1 1 1 1 11" 1 t an mwie iuo remara tunc no oiue-ueiuea Yankee could get anything to eat, and that it was a hell of a barbecue. Wait seemed to take delight in these kind of remarks, which he continued in a rough and ungentlemanly manner. The servant had no right to charge Mr. Wait, nor any other person. Whether or not Wait paid the servant is unknown, though he continued to repeat that he did, and to say it was a shame. Mr. Alex Wool dridge, a member of the supply committee, remonstrated with Wait, and told him that he must be mistaken, as every necessary arrangement had been made to feed the peo ple, and there was no charge for victuals. Mr. Wooldridge further informed Mr. Wait that the servant had no right to charge him, as this was contrary to the rules and regula tions ot the occasion, and said that he would look into the matter. This explanation of Mr. Wooldridge instead of pacifying the rude man only increased his anger all the mere. Wait being a large man called Wooldridge A GOD DAMNED LIAR, and used epithets too offensive for us to re peat. These words of Wait were as false as they were vulgar, applying as they did to Mr. Wooldridge, his mother and his relatives. Wait, not satisfied with the grossly offensive and fchauieful words he had used, assaulted Mr. Wooldridge, who is quite small in size, and shipped him in the face. Mr. Wool dridge,goaded by the insult, which was about as severe as could be given, drew a derringer pistol for the purpose of defending himself, and if necessary to shoot his assailant. The cap chanced to tall off and the pistol of course failed to fire, although Mr. Wooldrige snapped it. By this time friends interfered and further difficulty was for the time avert ed. Being a gentleman, and having due consideration for the propriety and character of the occasion, Mr. Wooldridge readily con sented not to say nor do anything to his as sailant while on the ground. Wait, how ever, continued HIS IXDECEST LANGUAGE, and seemed to gloat over his successful use of vile epithets. It was the desire of Mr. Wooldridge and his friends mat Wait should apologise for his conduct, and it was hoped that he would do so the next day. Trait, -- rpfurning to the city, visited a Monroe atieet saloon, and again began to drink and also to repeat the vile langaa-e which he had used toward Wooldridge. Several persons who heard Wait endeavored to induce bim to retrain trom such lan guage, for they knew ihat his words were false, unprovoked, and of such vileness as to cause serious results should Mr. Wooldridge hear of his conduct. The denun ciation ot a man s mother and family, in a saloon, and in a coarse, unfeeling manner petsistently indulged in, is sufficient to arouse the deadliest feelings. No difficulty, how ever, ensued that night, for Mr. Wooldridge was absent with his menus, and agreed to act in such a manner as to give Wuit an opportunity to apologize and retract what he had said. With an earnest desire to ADJUST THE MATTER amicably, which they supposed could be done, as Wait was evidently under the lnnuence of liquor, and had no cause for the lauguage he used, a written apology was drawn up, and put in the hands of certain parties to be delivered to the slanderer. 1 his article was as follows : Memphis, September 30, 1877. J. A. Wooldridge, Esq.: Sik-Mj assault on you and the offensive language used was caused by too much stimulants, and belut; unconscious of what 1 did and said. I apologize and regiet exceedingly me occurrence. It will be seen that this paper is moderate, considering the great WTOng done by Wait, who was given an opportunity to act the part ot a gentleman in an nonorauiu retraction. During Sunday morning Wait, who had been in the vicinity of Monroe and Main streets, was approached by Mr. Wooldridge 's friend with the paper, w ait positively KEFU0ED TOSIGX THE PAPEK, and said that he would apologize verbally. but no man but a U d d d a n ot a b u would ask him to sign such a paper. As the matter had gone that far he did not care whether it was settled or not, etc. Mr. wool dridge 's friends then separated from Wait, who returned to the front of the Peabody ho tel and, in a loud voice, began to talk of the difficulty and the paper which they wanted him to eicn. His excited manner and vehe ment speech attracted quite a crowd. Wait was heard to say that he had done wronsr in slapping and insulting Mr. Wooldridge; that he was sorry lor it, and would mase a public apology there, but he would not sign any paper, and no gentleman would ask him to do it At this time Wait was stand ing on the pavement, near the large lamp post, and just south of the Peabody hotel en trance. Wooldridge happened to be at th'J other Lirp-poft and heard the remarks of Wait, in a tew minutes the latter fta'ted toward the hotel door, where he met Wool dridge, aid said that no body but a G d a d s n or a o n wouia ana mm to sign the paper referred to. thereupon VOOI.DKIIX.E DREW HIS PISTOL saying, '"God damn you," fired twice. He was prevented from firing a third shot by Billy Burns, who caught him by the wrist acd, with the assistance of another gentle man, took his pistol. When Wait found that he was shot, he cursed Wooldridge, and told him he was a coward and had murdered him. Saying this. Wait leaned agamt the lamp post, and was soon taken into the hotel and put in bed. lrs. Nnttall and John Erskine were summoned ana examined the wounds, which they at once pronounced dangerous. At the time of being shot Wait, as is usual. had no coat on, and hence there was nothing but his shirt to resist the bullets. One ball entered the left side just above the hip, and is supposed to have traversed the bowels, as it was cut out on the opposite side. The other bail, v. hich was from the first shot, entered the left breast oszr the nipple, but its comse could not be traced; thic ball was not ro moved Owing to his pain, the physicians wanted to give the wounded man an ornate. but he objected, and said he would be damned it he took anything untu be saw bis children, Mrs. Wait and children being sent for. hur ried sX once to the wounded man. In the A.: 1 1 I i I m meantime a oig crowu naa gamerea AT THE rEABODY HOTEL, and everybody was talking about the shoot' in u. The police, being told of the occurrence. went in search of Mr. Wooldridge.who, after shuobes Wait, slowly walked up Main street, spoke to a friend c; two, and, after taking a drink to steady his nerves, vjUieUy went out oi town, adoul two noura alter me snooting. Commissioner Frank, with P. R. Athy. chief of police, repaired to the building where a cousin ot Mr. wooldridge has an omce. Cap tains Weatherford and A rata, with eicht po licemen, besieged this building, southwest corner of Main and Madison. The useless presence of the police of course attracted a great crowd, and called forth the opinion that the officers were anything but apt in the business. The building waa guarded all signs, strange aa it may seem but why. it .is not known Mr. Wooldridge had no difficulty in eluding the police, as he did not hurry nor dodge, but was seen by several persons up at the corner or Madison and rront streets. Mr. Wool dridge will surrender whenever it is known what will be the result or .Mr. waits wounds. The affair has caused general com ment, and while it is recrretted. the public do not censure Mr. Wooldridge for doing what he did. Wait does not enjoy an enviable character in so far as gentleness of feeling or modesty of deportment are concerned. II e is ROUGH in his manners, and addicted to the use of immoral language. He came to Memphis just after the war, and first drove a wagon, lie started a parcel of express wagons, and was afterward associated withMr. Lewis in the coal business. Subsequently he bought out Mr. Lewis, and is now known as a dealer in coal and ice. He has always been noted for energy, enterprise and thrift. Mr. Wool dridge has been living at Horn Lake, Missis sippi, but was raised in Memphis. He is a quiet man, whose conduct has always been such as to entitle bim to the esteem and re-sp-?ct of the community. Had the police per formed their duly and made Wait behave, or else taken him from the grounds Saturday, the difficulty would not have occurred. If the purpose of the police was to maintain or der at Estival park, they should have done their duty. The failure of the police to do their duty gave Wait an opportunity to do, what has already been mentioned, at Estival park, and the consequence of this official neglect is now before the public. At two o'clock this morning Mr. Wait was IN A DYING CONDITION, but when awake was conscious of his ap proaching end. The physicians yes terday afternoon told him there was no hope, and he had better make his arrangements. The woundod man said, "All right," and then had a private talk with his wife, who, with her two little children, have been at his bedside all the time. AT HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK Mr. Frank Wait died MEXICO. BulHs's Command, which Pursued the Thieves into Mexico, Reported to Hare Had a Serious En gagement with Indians.

A Fort Clark special of the twenty-ninth says: "Informa tion was received here this morning that puius naa naa a severe engagement with the Indians near Pleos river, in which he lost several of his command." The reports aro conflicting as to the results of the battle. One of Shaffer's guides arrived this morning. He se ports that several companies of cavalry, with two gatling guns, had crossed the Rio Grande at the mouth of Pedro Pinto creek, and are in pursuit of hostile Indians. Galveston, October 1. The latest specials from the Rio Grande give no information of a collision between the Mexican and Federal troops, although it is thought that Shatter and Bullis have had an engagement with the Indians on Mexican soil. Reinforcements have been sent Shafter. There are now eiuht companies on the Mexican side. General Jc alcon, commanding the Mexican forces at Piedras Nearras. has ordered his officers to keep on the trail of the Americans until they recross the river.

Tho final con ference with the Indian delegations took place to-day at the executive mansion. The In dians were in citizen's dress. The President having remarked that he was ready to hear what more his friends had to say, Spotted Tail took a seat at his side, and informed the President he had decided to have an agency on Woonded-Knee creek, and he wanted his provisions and clothing sent there. He wanted his great father to agree to this. "We don't want," said he, "to move just now. We want some time to sell out what property we have at our present homes. We will move in the spring or any time afterward. We want our provisions removed to the agem;y 1 have named. Y-ou told me your nation incn-ases. We want to increase too, in BunY.jerw, in property. You wished ,U8 to live like white men, and so we are dressSfl to day in whito men's clothes. I want the kind of cattle which the whites .'save short-horns. I want everything in writing before I go home, 0 that there can be no mistake.' We want teachers of English. We want Catho lic priests to teach us. We should like a saw and grist-mill. We want agricultural imple ments and seeds. We want fiveor six stores. Then we could buy cheaper at one than at another. I am very well dresjsei, and so are the others. They want forty dollars apiece to buy things for their women and children. and they would like to have a trunk apiece to carry their clothing in. As the weather is getting to be a little cold, we should like to have an overcoat apiece. We see you are wearing overcoats, and we should like to have them." Red-Cloud spoke next. He said he had reamed the country where he had now lived for hfty-six years, and sbeuld like to save his agency at White Clay creek; that ground he could not give up. If he should be sent to Missouri river, the Long-Tiiil Rats there would get them into boxes and destroy them. If you were in our country and saw our people, water would come into your eyes. I am poorer than any of them. Your army offi cers took my horse, and other horses have been stolen from me and my crops destroyed. The injury is at least ten thousand dollars. I want half ot this in money, the remainder in other things The President then addressed the Indians as follows: My Friends I am glad to see you this morning. I am glad to see you dressed like white people. You look well in your clothes like white people, and it shows that you wish to live like white people. 1 have not much to say about the business that brought you here in addition to what I said to you last week. You have spoken about the places where you wish to have your agencies. I am glad you would be satisfied to have agencies on the reservations allotted to you, but as I told you it is too late in the season to change your present agencies. It is too late to move your supplies to the places you have named. Winter will soon come on, the streams be frozen up, and therefore no movement of supplies can be made. We wish you to help your people to remove near the supplies, and General Crook will assist you to do so next spring. Place--- can be selected near White F .1 M1 -A , 1 A A river mac win sun you. Ana now as w me things that you have asked for. You want trunks, overcoats and money. The great council of my nation has put money and property for you in charge of the secretary of the interior. He can give you whatever the great coutcil has authorized him to give you, and I think he can satisfy you; this is the end of our grand coun cil. I am glad you came; let me advise you to move as near the supplies as you can, and next spring you can pt to your reservation ; I am glad you are satisfied with White river and hope you will all reach your homes safe- -j&4-mj8lood health, tsetore you go the ia'rrw..yoB as many of the thines yon have asted f u4. ,..

AKKAXSAS. Crops-Bualness State Debt The Pro posed Compromise with the Bondholders. New York Bulletin : Senator Dorsey, of Arkansas, was found by the Bulletin re porter at the St. James yesterday, and in re sponse to some general inquiries as to affairs in bis State of interest to the business pub lic here, said: "The material interests of Arkansas maybe regarded as fairly prosper ous. First The government of the State is devoted to those interests, and in every detail is encouraging development, as much as can be done by wise administration of the laws, equable taxation and perfect security of prop erty. Second The season has been forward and favorable. Our wheat crop is a large increase over that of last year, when, for the first time in the history of Arkansas, we ex ported wheat. We are now making bread stuffs to spare. This is owing to the develop ment of the northern and western portion of the State, or its highlands, a section that will not produce cotton, but will producLthe ce reals of the northern States abundantly; and in this section nearly all of our immigration, which ia large, and mainly from the north west, ia locating. The southern and eastern portions of the State are sustaining their rep utation for producing more cotton to the acre than almost any region on the globe. 1 he crop promises to be lull. The advances have been moderate, and I be lieve our merchants are on a sounder basis than for yeara. I have heard of no failures; business seems comparatively brisht and safe. and the outlook is quite as fair ns could be asked for, considering all things. The State debt is just now receiving much attention. and a party of gentlemen authorized by the State board of finance to confer with bond holders are now in Npw York to submit a basis of compromise. The board of finance propose to fund the outstanding bonds in new bonds bearing three per cent, interest for four years, and thereafter six per cent, interest, n the scale of thirty-eight cents on the dol lar for the Halford bonds, sixty-three cents on the old State bonds, and nineteen cents for the railroad and levee bonds. If a majority of the holders of the outstanding bonds, nearly all of which ore held in New York, will accept this basis, the governor will im mediately call a special session of the legis lature to ratify the contract. The disposition of the bondholders here, so far as ascertained, is favorable to the proposition, and the par ties negotiating feci confident of a majority within a few days. Our levees are kept in excellent condition, considering their extent and the means in hand, and our railroads are doing about as well as elsewhere." D11SS CONWAY'S SCHOOL.. A Flourishing; and Well Han axed Insti tutionThe Kindergarten and Its Kxcellent Features. Yesterday the ArPEAL commissioner vis ited Miss Clara Conway's female school and kindergarten, located in the commodious and well-arranged and neatly furnished building at the southeast corner of Third and Wash ington street. The kindergarten is now an at-sured fact, for which Miss Conway deserves great credit and merits a generous support. In the management of the kinder garten she has laid the foundation for a great and popular system of education, which of all others is best adapted to the pleasant but reliable instruction of the voune. The kind ergarten is in charge of Miss lola M. Gwath- mey, who, out ot one hundred and fortv graduates- in the St. Louis kindergarten training-school, was adjudged the most thor ough and accomplished. She comes here well recommended, and for the especial purpose of popularizing the kindergarten system in the south. The kindergarten is not a work for a selfish or an indolent per son to engage in, nor is it a trade, but a mis sion which engages for its success the high est requirements of intellecturl culture and tho best qualities of heart. The art can only be acquired in the training-school, and trom one like that where Miss Gwathmey was graduated at the head of the entire class. It is well worth a visit to Miss Conway's school just to see the little ones in the kindergarten, where instruction is made pleasant, and in tellectual development comparatively easy, because of the inteiest aroused. The primary department will be con nected with the kindergarten, and the pupils receive its training, while vo cal music and German will be taught with out extra charge. There are already fifty five pupils in attendance, of whfch eight be long to the kindergarten, which has seats for twenty children. The following are tbe teachers in the school: Miss Clara Conway, principal; Miss Jennie Hunter, elocution and gymnastics; Miss lola M. Gwathmey and Miss Jennie O'Neil, primary department; Mrs. Monsarrat, vocal music, and Prof. Witzman, German. The tchool is complete in every department. Miss Conway has devoted much time to the fctudy of the kindergarten system, and visited the best regulated institutions of the kind in America. Her energy, intelli gence and enthusiasm will soon make the kin dergarten popular here.
