says:
For thirty years the kindergarten
idea has been evolving in America.
During that time the teaching of
Froebel has wrought many changes. 1t
has changed educational aims from
mind storing to character development
from the giving of mere culture to
enlargement of power; from receptivity
on the part of the children to re-
fective and ultimately executive abil-
ity; from imitation to cretivity, from
copying to invention. 1t has changed
the ideals and practices of child dis
oipline from restriction to direction,
from negation to positicity: from
don'ting to doing; from dogma
tism to cooperation. 1t has shown
the educational value of play, IN de-
veloping not only the physical. but
the intellectual and moral powers"
1t surely must me of Importance to
parents to know a little more about
the kindergarten system for which
these men stand, and about the author

kiss her occasionally. He never made
any attempt to caress or show any

Mr. Gambler says they agreed to sep

1t seems to me to express the funda-

child Is not raw material to be made
into something to suit the nation or
the parent or the teacher: the child Is
a plant to be developed normally and
naturally, that 1t may grow into that
which is the divine ideal, an IDEAL to
be discovered only by careful, kindly
and sympathetic training of its spoH-
taneous life"
