KINDERGARTEN ENTERTAINMENT.
The entertainment given at Friends
university last night by the West Side
kindergarten in which about fifty chill
dren took part, was such a success that
the movement received a new impetus in
the community.
The ease with which the dramatic plays
and action songs were rendered was a
surprise to many considering the short
time that the children had been in the
kindergarten. The little folks did great
credit, not only to themselves, but to the
careful training of the teachers in charge.
Miss Carrie Shultz explained the value of
the work and plays in the kindergarten
in the harmonious development OF the
children, mentally, morally and physic-
ally. She showed the incalculable benefit
of such a training to every child.
Mr.. Rodolph Hatfield, in a short ad-
dress, spoke warmly Of kindergarten in
starting the children in good citizenship
Had the kindergarten been started 80 or
10 years ago, instead of so recently, the
tramp Of today would be unknown.
During the serving of the refreshments,
Miss Fay Chambers, Misses Olive Hill
and Fay Chambers furnished delightful
vocal and instrumental music.
