Kipdergarten Address.

On Friday afternoon, Miss Alice OGrady, principal of the kindergs rten department of the Model School of New Britain gave an address upon the history, object and aim of the kinder garten, at the High School building in Canaan. A general invitation to par ents was extended, and it is greatly to be regretted that more did not avail themselves of this opportunity to be- come better acquainted with the new education which Canaan has placed in our midst, for the instruction of our little ones under school age.
 Miss O'Grady said mothers at first thought tue kindergarten a place for the children to be entertained, but very soon see there is something more than mere play The kindergarten is that-part of the school which deals with the early instruction of the child. Before the time of Luther this early training was given no attention, as it was considered of nc importance. About ,1847 Froebel established the first kindergarten for instruction of children four years old. He thought the training of the child bodily, mentally and spiritually should be begun very young,
 True education will fit the human being for the varied experiences of life. That person is best educated who has had the widest experience, This ex- perience begins in earliest childhood .. Number, form, color, Nature in Its var jed aspects, are constantly appealing to the child while at play. Numerous questions are asked. What mother has the necessary time, material or knowl- edge to devote to the inquiring little mind? The child must have this knowledge, in order to understand what he finds in books. There is not the necessary time to gain all this after actual school work begins.
 The kindergarten furnishes the train ed teacher, pleasant sunny rooms, games, stories, the right kind of material; in fact every condition requisite for the development of all the instincts of the young child. Prof. James, the re. nowned psychologist has said the most of these develop before the age of z, and if not properly nourished, will die out. The children who have had kin. dergarten training are brighter and quicker than others.
 Miss O'Grady gave several illustra. tions of what this instruction had done for pupils under her charge. They enter the primary room with good store of general knowledge, faculties trained and are seldom lagards. The mind and body not only develop, but character building is the outcome of the kindergarten training. Selfshness is overcome, presents for father, mother or friends are made, the best being given to others. The thoughtless are made careful, the strong care for the wsak-all are equals-one can not enjoy all the privileges. All educational in- stitutions are adopting the kindergar- ten system and it is rapidly spreading all over the world.
 The superintendent of Chicago schools thought every school should have O kindergarten. The mayor of Toledo, Ohio, recommended kinder garten be placed in every section of the city. The kindergarten is rapidly spreading in Brooklyn aud in New York the better homes and lives of the peo- pie are seen, wherever the kinderg arten influence enters.
