Miss Grace Barnard Addresses
California Club on Important
instruction of Children
Says Too Many People Think
Institutions Are Affairs
for Charity

That there is a general inclination
ON the part OF San Francisco's philan-
thropists to regard kindergartens as
charitable institutions and kinder
garten training as necessary 10 the
children of the very poor only has
been one Of the great obstacles TO
kindergarten work in this city, ac-
nard Miss Barnard, who addressed
the members of the California club
yesterday, is herself a teacher of kin
dergarten workers
California is recognized all over the
world as a center for kindergarten
work. said Miss Barnard, but the fact
that many OF the kindergarteHs are
endowed causes them 10 be regarded as
charities. The men and women who
support them would be the last TO send
their own children there. This Is all
wrong. for the work Of the kinder
garten is as important as that OF the
high school or the college itself. We
hope some day 10 have a chair OF
kindeTgartening at Berkeley and a
model kindergarten on the campus
Before Miss Barnard's talk the mem
bers of the club and their guests en-
joyed several fine solos from the Rev.
