these congressional politicians. but
there was more wariness and undis-

in the little exchanges of confidence.

One clever girl has planned hel

as one Of the most successful of the

reading the numerous invitations that
have been sent out for theatre clubs
stating that the dues were $25.
Twelve bright girls compose the club

The subscription is not a source of Ia

years under Froebel's direction; then

Miss F'rankenberg taught in the Ger

FIRST KINDERGARTEN SCHOOL


An erroneous impression prevails
that the kindergarten movement in the
United States originated in the east
It's an historical fact, published now
for the first time, that the original seed
was sown in Ohio. The sower was no
less an authority than a woman per-
sonally associated with Froebel in
much OF his tentative work at Kielhaw.
This woman opened the first practical
working kindergarten school in Amer
lea at Columbus, O., in 1855 Her name
was Miss Caroline Louisa F'rankenberg,
native of Hanover, Germany

she lived, it is asserted. for a time in
Froebel's household and was identified
in some manner with the educational
institute established by Froebel in Keil-
haw.
In remarkable essay on 1.-The Re
newal of Life" printed by Froebel in
1886, the master pointed to the United
States as the country best fitted by
virtue of its spirit of freedom, true
Christianity and pure family life, to
receive his educational message and
profit thereby. Undoubtedly this pro-
phecy precipitated Miss Frankenberg'
journey to America two years later.
