Prosperity of the Country Increases
Amount of Revenue.
A preliminary statement as to the
treasury situation in Bulgaria on April
13. 1912, shows a surplus for the fiscal
year of more than $3,280,000, which'will
be increased before the accounts are
finally closed. The budget balanced at
$34,440,000, but the receipts amounted
to more than $36,670,000, while expen-
ditures were less than $33,390,000. The
increased revenue is due to a great
extent to the increasing prosperity of
the -country and the consequent impor-
tation of merchandise upon which duty
was paid. The Bulgarian market is
worth taking seriously by .American ex-
porters and manufacturers.

That weak-minded children taught by
the Montessori method are able to pass
an examination in reading and writ-
ing with normal children; 'that the
smallest youngsters learn to write in
marvelously short time and go into a
frenzy of delight when they find they
have mastered the art; and that the
teacher plays an entirely new role in
the direction of the school. These are
notable facts reported with regard to
the educational system of Dr. Maria
Montessori, the Italian physician and
teacher, whose experiments have
aroused great interest in this country.

tribution, the United States Bureau of

Austin, Tex., Aug. 9.—Attorney Gen-
eral Lightfoot has announced that he
has perfected plans for running the
attorney general’s department after the
close of the present fiscal year, Aug.
31, until the legislature meets next
January. This settles quite a serious
problem which has confronted the
running of this department, as there is
no appropriation available for that pur-
pose. Attorney General Lightfoot finds
two courses opened to his successor,
James D. Walthall, one of which was
adopted.
“Under the provisions of the appro-
priation bill,’’ said Mr. Lightfoot, “the
attorney general is given authority to
employ such assistants as he may
deem necessary to run the office, not
exceeding seven in number at any one
time. It also provides that he may em-
ploy special counsel and other help
when the same may be deemed neces-
sary by the attorney general. These
provisions of law are sufficient to
cause the attorney general to employ
assistants, special counsel and other
help whether there be an appropriation
to pay them or not, and will be au-
thority for the next legislature to make
provision to pay the salaries of all
such help.”

sonal cleanliness, etc. Music, poetry
and dancing are used to develop the
child’s rythmic sense. It was found
that after the children had learned
dancing they ceased instinctively fhe
ugly jumping they had been in the. hab-
it of doing’. Although Dr. Mo/itessori
borrowed many of the ideas and ex-
ercises for her System from Froebel,
as she frankly admits, her method
lacks the touch of mysticism and the
symbolic elements of the kindergarten.
The material used, much of which was
invented by her, is carefully devised to
promote muscular co-ordination of
sense and perception, the two direc-
tions of functional growth in young
children.
Assessed Against Negro
Sinking on Wharf.
James Levy a great big healthy lookr
ing negro, a sailor from Saint Thomas,
appeared before tlje corporation court
this morning, bare footed and bare
headed in answer to a charge of smok-
ing on the wharf. In broken English he
told the tribunal that he was unaware
that he was breaking a city ordinance
zbut a fine of $10 and cost was assed
against him.
Another case taking up the greater
portion of the morning was that of a
negro charged with being a vagrant.
A jury trial was given him and a ver-
dict of guilty with a penalty of $25
and costs was assessed against him.
The <police department have been
especially vigilent in rounding up fife
loafers and idlers without any visible
means of earning an honest livelihood
as it is their opinion that in ridding
the city of them they are not only des-
troying a parasite upon the community
but are preventing a dangerous ' class
for whom the next degree up the ladder
of crime is but a short step. Not a
drunk: or a charge of any kind has been
lodged with the police within the past
24 hours.

in the near future.

San Diego, Cal., Aug. 9.—It did not
require the increase of capital stock
from one million to three and a half
million dollars to make San Diego
realize tfie task she had set herself,
but she saw th t she had not provided
her strong box as liberally as she
should have done originally, so she
mended the matter as quickly as she
could. Now there is plenty of brains
and plenty of money, plenty of ideas
and plenty of help, and her exposition
is going to be the most beautiful ever
seen in the world. Her c..mate allows
her to make of the horticultural fea-
ture the greatest ever attempted. She
began five years in advance to grow
the plants, vines, flowers, trees and
shrubs for decoration of her buildings.
She Ians to have all her main build-
ings completed by Jan. 1, 1914, so that
the gardeners qan set the millions of
vines around them, get them used to
the soil and have them clambering in
every direction. Some of the vines
when set out will be fifty and one
hundred feet long, and many of the
trees are now twenty and thirty feet
high and growing as fast as expert
knowledge of botany and horticulture
can force them.
Everyone is welcome to the park and
site of the exposition, to inspect the
nursery and even to take some flow-
ers. San Diego is keeping busy and is
keeping open house, too. She has
flftwers enough for everyone that wants
them, and will have myriads more
when her exposition opens in 1915.
Nearly 500 men are busy grading and
building in the exposition park and
San Diego’s exposition will be ready
on time if brains, genius and perse-
verance can get it ready. There will
be not postponement on account, of the
weather.

tive, impartial study of the new sys-
tem, pointing out the principles and
methods which really distinguish ’it
from all others. It is shown that the
system has in effect developed out of
the elaborate modern science of child-
psychology, based upon the work of
Wundt, in Germany.
In essence the “Montessori method”
is a system of self-education for young
. children; of education through the
principle of child liberty. “Toward sin-
gle individuals, one by one observed,
education must direct itself,” says Dr.
Montessori. In her system the teacher,
instead of teaching and correcting,
merely observes and directs. Hence
she is called the “directress.” Needless
to say the personality of the “direc-
tress” is of fundamental importance.
The Montessori method was first used
extensively in the so-called “Children’s
Houses” (case de bambini) which
form part of an attempt to solve the
housing problem for the poor in Rome.
Mothers- who go out to work by the
day leave 'their very young children
behind in the model tenements.
Montessori was invited to undertake
the organization of “infanty schools” in
these tenements, and it was here that
her methods had their first test with,
normal children.
MANY INTERESTING FEATURES,.
American educators who have inves-
tigated the work in actual operation
tell of many interesting features. The
children appeal’ to be left entirely to
themselves, yet order in the best sense
prevails. To a large extent each pupil
is found engaged according to his nat- (
ural interest. At certain times there
are games in common. In the game ot
“silence” the children exert themselves
to see how absolutely quiet they can
be. The result is thus told in Dr
Montessori’s own words:
“It seems as if life gradually van-
ishes, and that the room becomes, lit-,
tie by little, empty, as if there were/
no longer any one in it. Then we be-
gin to hear the tick-tock of the clock,
and this sound seems to grow in in-
tensity as the silence becomes absolute.
From without, from the court which
before seemed silent, there comes var-
ied noises—a bird chirps, a child
passes. The children sit fascinated by
that silence as if by some conquest of I
their own. ‘Here,’ says the directress,
‘here there is no longer any one; the
children have all gone away.’ ”
A typical Montessori program con-
sists of informal conversational per-
earth that inside wires frequently
crackled and snapped. During this
storm, both Maxey and Vines got on
their knees, praying for a storm that
would wreck the jail and kill them, so
they need not hang today.
Maxey asked to be awakened every
hour during the night. This was done
and the condemned negro got out of
his cot and prayed each time. Vines
went to bed at midnight, sleeping
soundly until morning.
Both negroes appeared calm today.
Maxey wrote a statement declaring
that laws made by white men are such
that a negro cannot get justice.
The execution was set for 2 o’clock,
Maxey being selected to go first.
Maxey killed Ernest Johnson, a
young white man, here over a year
ago. Johnson had put Maxey out of a
restaurant for misbehavior.
Vines killed Deputy Constable Fred
Mounger here last September, shooting
him as the officer approached Vines’
door to arrest the negro.
