Concerning n kindergarten.

The state law provides for n Kinder
ten school, Why has Monte Vista none!
There is crying need for such n school
Nearly every town of its size in the state
has one. The first seven years of n
child's life should be most carefully
guarded and his training zcalously
watched over.
1t has been will said that THE kinder
gartcn supplies the social life which cv-
cry child raves, but which few homes
can supply" Few parents have the time
t. direct the play of their children. In
the kindergarten their plays are utilized
to teach them useful things. The kin.
dergarten is child garden in which the
body, mind and spirit are enabled to
develop normally and freely ut is the
sure foundation for all after education" 4"
In fact the N-ray in modern education" !"
Our children are the future fathers and
mothers of the land. They are worthy
OF the best the town can give them.
Monte Vista is said TO be the model
town of the valley. As ii leads the other
towns in nearly all good things, vt us
lead in the kindergarten. The primary
department Of the public school is now
over crowded. For the kindergarten an.
other building is needed. One could he
rented or the requisite amount Of 10 or
20 year 1 per cent bonds issued and n
building erected. The bonds could be
disposed of at par. Additional room
must soon be provided for our public
school children. Why not build for a
kindergarten school too, both in one
building. What will the good people OF
the town do in this matter? Give us the
kindcrgartcn-a blessing to both parents
and children.
