the kindergarten Work.
In order to accommodate those par
ents who sent their children to the
Philbrick Kindergarten last year or
those whose names are being entered
for this year it has been decided to
open the free kindergarten to such
children during October. free of charge,
so that the children now in the city
may get the full benefit of the work.
Any child, therefore, on the Philbrick
roll may be entered at the Free Kin
dergarten nearest him for October. A
very generous thing has been done for
the Chatham kindergarten No. of
the system by the Ludden & Bates
Music House. On account of econo-
MIXING floor space, an upright piano
was necessary, and a very limited sum
was all that the kindergarten had to
expend, so this firm donated more than
half the price of a Mathushek piano.
Plans for the kindergarten at the
State Fair to be held in November are
maturing rapidly. A very desirable
space in the Educational building has
been secured, and a proposition from
Lindsay & Morgan accepted, by which
they unite their exhibit with the kim
dergarten in order to give facilities for
women to rest while their children are
being taken care of in the kindergar-
ten nursery. Part of the space will
be used for the operation of
the kindergarten and its exhibit
of work, while part will be curtained
and screened off for the tired babies,
while under the supervision of compe-
tent nurses, the babies can be given
the comforts of cots and cradles, baby
jumpers and baby tenders, all of which
are part of Lindsay e. Morgan's ex-
hibit The walls and woodwork will be
of a soft pretty shade, and curtains
and shades, easy chairs, mating and
rugs and facilities for getting clean
and fresh, as we'll as rested, will make
place of really homelike attractive
ness. Lunches for the children are
being arranged for, and the whole
thing is free of any charge. so that all
may avail themselves of the opportuni-
ty offered.
The Junior class of the Training
School has only a few more vacancies
and it is most important that any ap-
plicants should send in their names al
once to Miss Backus or see her per-
sonally at 222 CASTOR street, east, be-
tween and 4, or at o'clock. The jul
Nor and senior class are notified to
meet the principals and supervisor al
the Chatham kindergarten, southeast
room on the ground floor of the Chat
ham Academy, on Monday, Sept. 30, al
4 o'clock in order to have their places
assigned.
So many questions have been asked
about the practical side of kindergar-
ten work that perhaps the programme
that will be in use in the Kate Bald
win free kindergartens during Octo-
Der will be of interest to the public.
This programme is for the teachers in
order that their work may be clear,
definite and well-organized. The gen
eral outline is given to the principal
of each kindergarten who adapts the
work to the needs of the children with
whom she works. The students of the
training school in turn decide what
gifts, occupations, etc, will be best
fitted to the particular group of chill
dren at their tables, and so week after
week. and month after month, this
careful planned work is given to the
children, building up in them the de-
sired habits of thought and action.
The child is considered psychologist
ally and sociologically, that is, both as
