Eight schools have been bl1shed
by Mrs. Stanford six in San Francisco,
The Portland daily press., 1892-02-18

at the extreme ends OF the city IN the
most disreputable portions, and two in
the country. The influence of these ten
years OF kindergarten work in the city,
not alone on the children but on the
neighborheod, is marvellous. The pub
lie schools that once looked forward
with dread to the influx of pupils from
these quarters now receive them with
pleasure, so refining has the influence of
the kindergarten work been.
Mrs. Sarah Cooper is the superintend-
ent of the city schools, which contain in
all about 800 children between the ages
of fifteen months and seven years. The
largest school is at the corner of Mission
and Fourth streets, and contains 1854
pupils, with four teachers Every school
is supplied with a washstand, soap and
towels, to which the little ones always
need to be Immediately introduced.
But it is surprising to note how quickly
sense of shame and pride is aroused in
them, and they somehow manage after
few weeks to have this duty performed
for them before they come. After the
bath each child is put into clean apron
and given a clean handkerchief, the use
of which is of necessity one of the first
things taught them.
In every school there is piano. The
singing and marching attracts the chill
dren and make them like to come. In
almost every instance the little ones
learn here for the first time of God, and
a deep impression is made on their
childish minds Their faith in the ell
cacy of prayer is strong. Sometimes
they direct their prayers toward Mrs.
Stanford, believing from experience that
she can easily respond to their requests.
One of the many pretty stories in con-
nection with the work that Mrs. Stan
ford told me must repeat, for it Illus
trates how much good is being done.
One day little boy came to the school.
Though evincing the most abject pow
erty, he had something in his manner
and in his clean patched clothes that
showed that he was superior to the
other children. AS the days went by
the teacher was more and more i'm
pressed with this idea, and called Mrs.
Cooper's attention to the boy. She went
home with him to see his mother and
ascertain their condition. The ''home"
was bare and desolate garrett, and the
neither was a pitiable looking object.
When Mrs. Cooper introduced herself
thespoor girl, for she was scarcely more,
put her face in her hands and began to
sob.
Il am ashamed to have you know my
poverty" she said.
In answer to kindly inquiries she said
that her husband was the son of min
lister in the east. When she married
him they made comfortable living.
But after moving to San Francisco he
got into bad company, and now he was

complete wreck, and all they had to
live on was the mere pittance she earned
with her needle.
After few weeks the teacher at the
kindergarten was surprised and pleased
to observe decided change in the dress
and manner of the boy. He had warm
shoes and stockings, new overcoat,
etc., and seemed very happy.
Mrs. Cooper made another call upon
the little woman in the garnet. This
time she was not received with tears.
"Oh, | want to tell you," she said,
"what your kindergarten has done for
us" She then told how her boy would
come home at night and sing the songs
and tell the pretty stories he had learned,
and praise the kind lady who had estab-
ished the school. and say the prayers
she had told them her boy had said.
The father became interested and en-
couraged him to tell about the things he
learned at school. One night he went
with him and put him to bed himself.
When he came back he sat down beside
his wife. who was sewing by the dim
light, instead of going out as was his
custom. After watching her few mo-
ments in silence he said, "Do you know
we have got one of the s1nartest and
brightest boys in the country, and have
made up my mind that he shall never be
ashamed of his father any more" And
he kept his resolution.

ford, 'has repaid me for all have done. "
The school has now become an estab-
lished institution, and in order that the
work may not stop for want of funds
after her death Mrs Stanford has placed
800, 900 in trust with which to carry it
on indefinitely.
Mrs. Cooper, who has made the mat
ter study, has discovered that in the
reform schools. houses of correction and
prisons not boy or girl can be found
who has ever been under kindergarten
training. That fact and the testimony
of the public school teachers show the
wonderful influence of the simple les
sons on the impressionable minds of the
children.
The six schools in San Francisco and
the two in the country near the home Of
the Stanfords at Menlo Park, which Mrs.
Stanford has recently established and
which are under her own personal super
vision, cost her $1,000 year.
These schools We're. the first memorial
kindergartens established in the world.
They by no means represent the whole OF
Mrs. Stanford's charitable work. There
is no charity in California that has not
had her aid, and the poor Of Washington
have reason to respect her kindness of
heart. She has this year endowed the
orphan asylum at Albany, her native
place, with 100000, which provides for
an infant department. This asylum was
established by Mrs. Stanford's. parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Dyer Lathrop.

."TeIl me how this idea of establishing

Mrs. Stanford.
ut was more than ten years ago" she
replied. .'that young lady came to me
one day to solicit my help in this kinder
garten work which she had already be-
gun in the low quarters of the city, but
which she found she was not able to
carry on without financial aid. She
talked SO we'll and seemed such bright,
intellectual girl and SO thoroughly IN
earnest that at last | asked her how
much she would need to carry on the
work for year. She said 81 900 would
be necessary to carry it on as she plan
ned. told her to go to others and get
all she could and then come back to me
and would make up the balance.

my dear boy was SO happy that day,

children were SO happy, too. that it made
my heart glad. They crowded about
me and stroked my gown, and of their

beautiful things to them.

you ever did in your Life.
