held Tuesday in the study nail OF the
state normal school. The feature OF
the session was an address by FroI
Henry w. Holmes of Harvard, on The
kindergarten and the PRIMARY
School In outlining what he thought
school life should be, Professor Holmes
emphasized the need for pupil to
have opportunity to give scope to his
distinctive tendencies. That in too
many cases there existed a wide chasm
between the kindergarten and the hrst
primary school was q fact to be de-
plored. The enc should furnish a foun-
dalton, while the second should serve
to add to the knowledge and expert
ence already gained. That there must
of necessity be some difference in
methods was granted but it was claim
ed that the change from the freedom
of the kindergarten to tne set rules of
the primary school were too abrupt.

value of the kindergarten.
