Held Yesterday.
The first of the Lenten classes on
Froebers Mother Play. conducted by
Miss Backus, was held yesterday morn
ing at the Philbrick kindergarten.
Miss Bacl1us discussed briefly the plan
of the PROPOSED lessons, referring to
the fact that in previous classes the
child had been considered almost en-
tirely from the psychological and phil
osophcal standpoint. In choosing the
Mother Plays as this years work, she
explained it was her purpose to show
the practical application of klndergar-
ten principles in the comprehension
and training Of the child. and to study
with Froebel the universal mother-in-
stinct and its spontaneous expression
In nursery songs and games. in order
that what springs intuitively from the
heart may be consciously analysed by
the intellect.
Using Quick's "Educati onaI Reform
ers" for reference. Miss Backus gave
a sketch OF Froebel's life, telling OF
his lonely childhood, his nearness 10
nature. the trials OF his struggling
school days and his career as a sol
der. She emphasized his search.
