THE KINDERGARTEN AND
THE PRIMARY SCHOOL.
MISS MILDRED MILLER.

MISS MILDRED MILLER.
The kindergartens and the pri-
mary schools are very closely al
lied. 1t is therefore not only good,
but it is essential, that the kinder
gartner should know the primary
school, and the primary teacher
should know the kindergarten
How do these schools touch?
What influence has the one upon
the other? Are their aims opposite,
parallel, or identical?
The primary school is supposed
to prepare children to enter the
realm of books. 1t is here that
they become able to read, to write,
to spell and to "ciph~r." We not
only must faithfully teach the three
RS, but we must do more.
Through our teaching the children
must grow into the power OF usin
and understanding books. The
seeing eye, the hearing ear, the
trained thought, the keen magma
ton, the quick feeling, which will
interpret the messages written
upon the printed page. And since
the children are to go from us to a
life with men, life with nature,
we must prepare them for that, and
not simply life in a library. They
must learn to love the beautiful,
that they may enjoy nature. They
must learn to walk uprightly and
deal fairly with their fellow men.
They must be trained to become
useful, capable, self-reliant and
sympathetic citizens.
What does the kindergarten do
for the child to prepare him for
this school life? 1t accustoms him
to work with others. The work in
the kindergarten guides and devel-
ops feeling and will, as we'll as the
ear and the eye. The kindergar-
ten helps the mind to gain control
of the little body. 1t is in the
kindergarten that the freedom and
activity of the home is gradually
changed and systematized into re-
straint and self control of school
life.
1t is not only difficult, but hard,
on the little ones to go from the
home, where freedom of speech
and action has reigned with their
unrestrained bodies and minds,
into the school room, where they
must sit still and suppress their &C
tivity and unemployed energy.
l might go on forever, like the
brook, enumerating the parallel
lines of work in kindergarten and
primary school. Their aims are
the one; it is in organization and in
plans of work that the difference
lies. Because of the age of the
children the plans of work are mod
flied. Many of the games, occu
pations and gifts may, with great
profit, be continued in the primary
school.
Central College opens her kin
dergarten today. Hours from I
p. m. to 3 p. m.
Tuition, two dollars per month,
all materials furnished.
All children over three years of
age may enter our kindergarten.
For further particulars, see Mr..
Rivers, president of college.

The Premier company announces that 1t will mar
ket its own output after the expiration this month

heretofore. has taken the output of both the Pre-

the agreement will be renewed means that
