WAS NEW ONE ON KITCHENER Great British -Soldier Somewhat Out of His Element When It Came to Chaplains. Here is a Lord Kitchener story, told by lilt- anonymous authored "The Mirrors of 1 >o\vning Street:" Kitchener was a sold;<w-n»d-»; 1 -sorbed In his profession. Details - outside'of his ruling passion annoyed him. During tile eaftjs days, of the war Lloyd George went to him at the war office and asked the appointment of denominational chaplains for the various sects, of tlie army. Kitchener had no interest in chaplains. lie regarded them ns a negligible factor in the fighting machine. He opposed the appointments. Lloyd George insisted, especially with respect ,to Presbyterians- "Kitchener finally yieledd and picked tip ids pern “Very well." he said, "you shaft have a Presbyterian.” • Then, a faint smile lighted tils serious face. "Let me see.

COMENIUS: A PICTURE TEACHING PIONEER The United States commissioner of education has asked that the birthday of John Amos Coraenius be observed In American public schools on March 28, In conjunction with Its commemoration in Czecho-Slovakla. The National Geographic society has Issued the following bulletin concerning the famous Moravian educator, author of the' first picture textbook and the first advouute of teaching- science in the schools: “The births of new nations usually mean the creation— ; of new national heroes. Among the new countries of Europe not only will the men who played parts in their liberation be horn ored in years to. eqjme; but the new na'tlHiraltrfes- already-are plarming to pay ■ belated tribute to the outstanding figures of the period of . their oppression. "Take Czecho-Slovakln, a country which holds a particular Interest for Americans, since —its._dedttration of Independence was written In a Washington, It. C., hotel, and condensed so It might be printed in full in a Boston newspaper, and its constitution embodies many features of our form of government. “It may augur well for the future peace of Europe that Czecho-Slovakla has chosen to commemorate as one of Its major holidays the birthday, not of a warrior, or even a political leader, but of a school teacher. “In reading about him there also wilKbe much about pansophic schools, and the Intuitive method, and naturalistic conceptions of education. -But If you would get a more vivid picture of the pioneer service of this forerun--net —of Rousseau, Frohel, Pestalozzl, and, Montessori, try to your school today as a'plufte where: “Pupils devoted nearly all their time to memorizing page after-page of. (Jrea ry texts. “All leaching, had to be done tlirough a foreign.-language (Batin):- ’*•’ “No objects were studißdTand only abstract words-were jised. “Little was studied which feinted to the physical world, the child’s environment, of his dally experience. - "Nor was there any teaching of science, even geography, nature study, animal and bird life. . “None of the words, deailng largely with things the pupils never saw, were Illustrated with pictures. "And a kindergarten, physical exercise, play periods, attention to hygiene were virtually “urfltftoVn.--"If you can imagine that kind of school you will gain some conception of the schools -In the time of Comenius, which he tried to improve In nearly all of the particulars, mentioned. "Most widely known, perhaps, of Comenius’ books IsTthe ‘Orbls Plctus,’ thought by some to have been the first children’s picture-book, nnd certainly the first application - of pictures for school teaching of visual Instruction.

ORIGIN OF “APRIL FOOL” Even in these times of turmoil and contention, there Is still one day when not only may a man piny a fool, hut hIV friends are privileged to give- him a hcadjong putty down “fools’ hill,” .The- origin .of the cinfiom of playing practical Jokes -on friends, and neighbors on this "Al}, Fools’ Day” is variously explained. Some of these explanations may interest those who have eaten cotton pie and heart chocolates. Some writers trace the custom hack to the days of the -miracle plays givaen at E.ister time. One of the raosbpopulnr tableaux satirized Ananias, Cnlaphas, Pilate and Herod. In the decadent days of these dramas actors played largely for the amusement and applause of the groundlings, until HerodIn out-Heroding—himself, and Pilate, In the performance of his ablutions, literally made fools of themselves. A “Feast afjcools” was held In the early spring by the Romans, and the Hindus, sinf-fi time immemorial, have celebrated as' a saturnalia the vernal equinox, or Feast of Hull. During H>ese .fostivßj(>au,4h«--chief amusement seems to have been that of fooling people and sending them on fruitless errands. V Many students trace the origin hack no farther than France In the Sixteenth century." At arty rath, the custom seems to have radiated from France to England, as well as to, Germany, If we are to believe what Grimm sayi? about It. France wfis the first nation to. adopt the reformed calendar which decreed that the year should begin on the first of .Irmunrv. Consequently those who-objected to sending out their Mew Year's gifts and feliclffttlons upon the newly chosen date instead of April 1. as they had done pre-; vlously, subjected themselves to endless taunts for being old-fogies by. going on visits that had no meaning. Tiie French call the victim of a prank on April 1. “un poissou d’avrll;” or “an April fish," of which our , American Slang, “you po<\r tish.fi is good translation. The"origln~of thq expression used in this, connection probably arose*, In tlie obvious comparison between the. person who “bites" unwittingly and tlie April fish, which is a. young* fish and therefore easily 'caught.

In Scotland April Fool’s day Is observed, but under a slightly different name—rthe day for “hunting the gowk,” or cuckoo. Some few of us who, in our unsophisticated duys, have .gone “snipe hunting” In this country, know how the fellow feels who hunts the gowk, nnd realize that to he called an “AprilCuckoo” Is not a compliment, that bird being a byword of contempt In almost every land. . ....

Since Montevideo 1* In the southern hemisphere Its seasons are the reverse of those in the United States.

As in other large South American cities’, moving picture theaters are omnipresent. Most of the films they show are Imported from the United -States. Montevideo is famed for its port, which is one of the best on the Atlantic eoast- of the Americas. The city lias a population exceeding 400,000, more than a quarter of the population of the entire 72,000 square miles of the republic. In 1800 Montevideo was the largest and most Important city In South America. It Is now surpassed by Buenos Aires, Rio and Santiago de Chile, while its rank as fourth city Is closely contested by Sao I’uulo, Brazil.

BUENOS AIRES: CITY OF SUPERLATIVES AND CONTRASTS ifitenos Aires, capital Of Argentina, which recently'attracted world attentloh Jiy withdrawing Its tives from the League of Nations assembly, is not merely the capital and chief port Of a Sputh American republic. It is a wf-rld ot-ntef- —u city of superlatives, contrasts and paradoxes. * Its population of closewto"2,000,000 makes it, by a wide margin, the metropolis, of South America and the Southern .hemisphere. It is the greatest of Spanish-speaking cities, having, nearly three times as many inhabitants, as Madrid. It is greater* than’ any Latifi city except Paris. In the New World it shares third place: with Philadelphia ; only New York and Chicago surpass it. And now that I’etrdgrad ,aml Moscow Tin ve shrunk, while. Berlin nnd Vienna are marking time, it probm bly ranks or soon will rank as the Sixth city of the world, led only by the two metropolises of Europe, the two of North America, and Tokyo in Asia.

Its language is the language of Spain, but many otlieT -things Spanish have been thrust aside; would laugh at tlie Idea of a mid-day siesta —so generally observed ‘in most Spanish American countries. The obsession of “mamma" has been discarded ; the people of, Buenos AfreS live In the throbbing present, going strenuously about their business in streets whose bustle-and whirl are as halm to the heart of tlie, homesick New Yorker. wlio fee.ls. that, after all, la? cannot he far_from Broad and Wall or Fortysecond and Broadway. Subways, commuters and taller buildings than can he found lit .any other city In South America heighten the illusion." . In progress and the possession of vision the people of Buenos Aires are unsurpassed even by the restless builders of North America’s greatest cities. For centuries after its establishment Buenos Aires was without a port. Ships anchored miles from the shallow, sandy shore and all freight was. handled In •lighters. Within the last 2-’i ..yejli-k" tlie- municipality— has cou.-. strueted the largest artificial docks in the world. ’.
