OUTDOOR KINDERGARTEN
First Session viii Be Held on Wed
nesday, July S.


The first session of the summer
kindergarten, which win be held at
the public playground during July
and August, will open on Wednesday,
July 5. The summer term of the
kindergarten will close one week be-
fore the opening of the fall session
In September, The present hours Of
session, from o'clock to IL o'clock
each morning, will be maintained.
Miss Florence Walbrldge, who
has been aninstructor in kim
for some time, will have charge of
the work and will be assisted by Miss
Olive Pope.
This will be the first time the kin
ldergarten has been held out of doors
in this town, and it is regarded as an
experiment. Because of the poor at
tendance of this department of the
graded school during anuary, Febru-
airy and March, it was decided at the
last meeting of the school board to
close the kindergarten during these
months, and to substitute the summer
outdoor sessions. In other cities
where the experiment has been tried
it has proved to be very beneficial to
the children.
The training will be practically the
same as that of the indoor kindergar
ten, although the work will be modi
fed somewhat to meet the outdoor re
quirements. Various forms of exer
cises and drills and different games
will be used to develop the child ply
sically, while the mental training will
be cared for by the recitation by
the instructors of series of enter
tanning and instructive stories. 1t is
the idea of the authorities to elimi
nate as much as possible reading
writing and other studies of a con
fining nature.
The same regulations that govern
the attendance at the indoor kinder
garten will apply to the outdoor
term.

than 800 have terminated favorably
to the government, and OF the ship
ments seized more than $50 have
been condemned and either relabel-
ed or destroyed. In every case in
which the food seized was deleterious
to health it was destroyed. A large
number of cases are now pending.
