The Kindergarten association proba,-
bly, more than any other organization.
feels keenly the loss of Mr.. Bowman.
Resolutions of respect to his memory.
prepared by Judge F. G. Adams, Rev.
@. NJ. Sheldon and Rev M c. Long
were adopted yesterday by the board.
They were as follows
The members of the Topeka Kinder
garten association participate in an IN
usual measure in the sorrow which fills
the minds Of the people of Topeka at
the loss by death Of Mr.. T. Z. Bow
man. The deceased was one of the
founders Of the association, and more
than any other member has been a pill
lar and support of its work from the
beginning 1t is even doubtful if at
times, without his generous aid. added
wife, our worthy president, the asso-
citation could have continued to prose
cute its work. His faith his enthusi-
asm, his words OF advice and cheer
were always an inspiration; and his
contributions of means We're always
unstnteds indeed, he has been the mu-
nificent benefactor of the association
Mr.. BoWman's practical enlistment in
the Kindergarten scheme Of educa ton
was not from any temporary impulse
or slight view of its Importance, but, as
on many occasions expressed by him,
from a profound belief that in the ed
ucation of the young children of the
present and future generations through
kindergarten methods is to be found
the true hope OF the world in placing
humanity upon a common plane OF
equipment for the fulhllment Of the du-
ties of life and the enjoyment of its
blessings. In turning aside from a
burden Of other employments to become
the stay Of the kindergarten movement
in Topeka. he did not make this sec
ondary. but rather paramount; he made
it his viii that this work should be
maintained under whatever difficulties.
This measure for the advancement OF
human progress had indeed become the
one more than all others which ami
mated his great soul in the work he
found laid out for him to do.
His associates and helpers have great
cause to mourn the loss of their co.
worker and leader. His loss might
well be regarded as irreparable and
fatal, were 1T not that from his exam
pie the members may hope to derive
faith and Inspiration which shall in
cite each and all to renewed zeal and
effort. In loving duty and with ut
most sorrow this tribute is laid upon
the tomb of our beloved friend.
