along without it, for she has had nine
teen children, twelve Of whom are liv-
ing. The family is not in very poor
circumstances now and she says her
children can go to school as long as
they wish, but none as yet have been
further than the third grade.
Going directly from among the homes
into clean, pleasant kindergartens
where the little ones are gathered in
their circle, and watching the teacher
with her sweet refinement of manner in
her attitude toward the children, one
cannot help but see the need and I'M
derstand something of the value of the
kindergarten.
The loving labor of these teachers
cannot be paid in dollars and cents.
Said one Of the kindergarten teachers:
II do love my work So She feels that
she is placed where she can do so
much good. AS only one instance of
the work these teachers take upon
themselves, a child came to school so
dirty that he was given a bath and
placed in the hammock wrapped in a
shawl while his clothes were washed.
AS the child did not return at lunch
time, the father came to see what was
the reason.
His mother ought to have done
that - was what he said.
I'VE know she ought, but she
doesn't" was the reply.

RICH AND POOR ARE INTERESTED
I'm Seeing These Training Schools
for the Little Ones Maintained
What They Say About Ii.

No part of the school system of ST
Paul comes so close to the parents
whose children are now receiving an
education as the kindergartens. If
they were not beneficial in furnishing
a foundation for the work in the
graded schools they would still main
tain their popularity among parents
whose little ones are now attending or
have attended them. What pleases the
young pleaSeS the parent Not a child
probably, in the city who goes to the
kindergarten but what does so eager
ly after once started. The child likes
1T, enjoys it. 1t is source of pleasure
as well as profit to the little tot. And
being source of pleasure to the little
one, is a source of pleasure to the
parent.
But apart from any sentiment that
may attach itself to the kindergartens
the benefits there derived cannot be
Overestimated. That Is what the
parents think who have sent their
children, and have seen the early de-
Velopment of the young minds There
is almost a universal opinion among
the parents Of st. Paul that the kinder
gartenS furnish the most valuable
training Of the entire school career
whether that career extends over two
or three years, or until a scholar has
passed through the high school. No
bOuN hHOWS HOW valuable the learn
Ing there received is regarded by
parents until he has spent a day or
two among them. He will find that no
matter whether it be the parent who
is able, if necessary, to send the little
ones to the private kindergarten, If
necessary, or the one who is scarcely
able to furnish the children with suf-
ficient clothing to make them present
able, the feeling and belief is the same.

tens" A reporter for the G o e
spent some time last week visiting the
parents who have children in the
kindergartens, and this Is how they
feel about it.
MRS. GEORGE THOMPSON.
Mrs. George Thompson, whose home
is close beside the Webster school, feels
very decidedly on the kindergarten
question. ut would be a great mistake
said she,in reference to the possibility Of
removing the kindergarten from the
public school system. 81 think they
might better do away with the high
school,"
"Now, anybody visiting the kindergar-
ten in the Webster school would see in
All hours time that it would be a great
mistake TO rule it out. 1t really seems
to me those little ones learn more in
the kindergarten than they do in the
advanced grades. My little Florence
for instance, who is five years old, comes
home and tells me just as much about
George Washington and Abraham Lin
coin as Hazel, who is eight, and in the
third room. Florence understood what
the life of Abraham Lincoln taught; she
