Close of the Kindergarten

Saturday morning g the klnder-
garten closed a very enjoyable
and interesting session The
final program was arranged Tor
the especial pleasure Of the chill
dren. After opening exercises
aud merry games, the usual les
sons in reading, writing, and
numbers we're omitted, and
squares Of pliable cardboard were
distributed. From these by dint
OF folding, cutting and pasting,
the little fingers fashioned fancy
baskets. AS each child COM
pleted his basket, he was invited
to do whatever he liked.
Visitors coming in we're charm
ed with the child.garden where
each was busily following bis
own bent. Some were drawing,
or writing at the blackboard;
others sewing or weaving; some
working out their own designs
and color schemes with the peg
board, or with colored straws, or
beads; others were building won
derful structures and towers OF
wooden blocks. When time was
called each child put in order his
materials.
The KindeIgartner then gave
short review on form, and dis
tributed to each child-not the
circles and squares Of pasteboard
and wooden cubes and spheres,
but "circle cookies" as one little
tot gleefully exclaimed, oblong
waters, squares of chocolate
fudge, and frosted cubes of cake.
The happy surprise of the chill
dren caused much merriment
while their baskets were being
filled. Then envelopes contain
ing their completed work in sew
ing and weaving were handed out
and soon the little ones were in
terchanging good wishes and
goodby esIwith their teacher and
classmates and trudging merrily
homeward.
The aim of the Kindergarten
is not only to teach the first STEPS
in the arts and sciences, but to
guide the tender feet into the
paths of good citizenship. The
kindergarten is family or little
community, playing and working
together for the welfare and
happiness of each member. They
are taught to respect the rights
and opinion of others; to sympa.
.hize with suffering or distress
wherever found; to protect every
harmless living creature; to love
each other, and all that is true,
good and beautiful.
