Studying the kindergarten

The kindergarten-its place in the

The new division, which is made pos
sible by cooperative arrangement be-
tween the National Kindergarten As
ISOLATION and the Government; is d.
rected by Miss Bessie Locke, secretary
of the Association, with headquarters
in New York City. Miss Myra WHO
chester has been placed in charge of
the work in the Bureau.
TIE first published work Of the di-
vision, which will be ready in few
weeks, is a report on present kinder
gartsn conditions in the United States.
The report will include statistics Of
public and private kindergartens for
the past year; opinions of school sup
erintendents, supervisors, and primary
teachers as TO the advantage possessed
by the kindergarten child over
the child without such training; and
other materisl dealing with current
school problems as affected by the
kindergarten
Most Of the opinions so far received
by the division show an overwhelming
sentiment in favor Of kindergarten
training for all public school childrsa.
There are 4occasional' adverse criti-
sisms;s but they are surprisingly few.

thot is in itself good editorial. The
state Chamber of Commerce has been
at work trying to crate sentiment for
GEORGIA-MADE GOODS and it looks
as though they are going to succeed.
The recent Georgia Products Day
demonstrated the fact that Georgia is
able to support herself. The fact was
driven home that the, Empire state is
the best state in the Union. Skeptics
had their eyes opened by the long list
Iof Georgia Products that were pub
lished and the success of the dinners
and banquets served by the different
cities of the state.
Georgia made goods are as good ii
not better than goods manufactured in
the east When you buy Georgia made
goods you have the satisfaction of
knowing that your money is staying at
home. You realize that you have
chance to get the money back again
for it will be placed in circulation in
your state You know that Georgia
men and women are employed to make
the goods. You know that Georgia
men and women reap the profits.

ment is a good editorial and well
