dergarten man. It is a fine place for
mothers who want to go down town
to leave their children. I have
doubted the legality of assessing the
citizens of Akron for this work, to
educate children under six years of
age. But we are taxing at the rate
of one mill and L took it that we had
something like garden. Now that
we have it we must support it in a
proper manner"
