No kindergarten Can Eradicate This
Condition, Says Miss Wheelock.

ST. Louis, Feb. 27.-The establish
ment of a social center at every school
and the use of public school buildings
for social and recreational, as well az
educational purposes, was advocated
by debates to the special sessions of

Three meetings were held by the

committee on agricultural education.
Miss Lucy Wheelock of Boston, in
discussing the incomplete action de-
manded by Froebel, declared that the
lack of fibre and disincllnation for real
work discovered among students in
some universities, is not to be traced
to the oft-times sporadic and brief
period OF kindergarten training, but
to social conditions.
