FROEBEL,s DISCOVERY.

Froebel noticed that the children he saw
at play were fond Of using their hands,
and that they had a way Of pulling thing
apart. and then endeavoring to put them
together again. He watched them care-
fully, and learned that those things that
most appealed to their senses were sight,
sound and touch. He also noticed that
children were affectionate and unselfish
if not spoiled by older persons, and that
they looked for sympathy in their COM
PARSONS. FroebePs greatest discovery In
child nature was lin proving that their
chief characteristic was restlessness 1t
is their delight to be always in action.
So he founded the kinder garten where
their occupations were all active Many
games are played into which music and
poetry always enter. However, Froebel,s
plan was to have the kindergarten con-
Quoted In the open air. This is almost

in Southern cities the teachers keep the;
children out OF doors greater part OF

usual to see children on the street cars
going on long rides into the country
They get on and of the cars with as
much ease and order as a company Of

or the Zoo and study nature, and learn
lessons from the world Of living nature
that they could never learn in school
room. In st. Paul during May and June
the kindergarten children also make trips
out into the country and study the trees
and rocks. Ask them what they think
of these things and you will see yourself
what the kindergarten IS doing.
