hirIs, chickens, or horses, Christmas
and the rest of the time whatever the
vicinity, the season and the needs of
the children suggest.
"All through the year a thread of
nature work is carried on and CORE
lated with the subject wherever pos
sible. The moon, the stars, wind,
rain, sun, clouds, rainbow, furnish
good subjects for songs, stories and
art expression. Sometimes the regu-
lar program will be interrupted for Il
few days to devote the time to expe-
riences connected with unusual
weather, as a kona or a high wind

Mrs. Fear. The flying OF birds, the
running, galloping and high stepping
of horses, are all of interest to the
children
THE care of the body, the wash
ing and ironing, the setting Of the
table for luncheon, the washing of the
dishes become part of the routine of
the kindergarten. but wherever pos
sible, the connection is made between
these domestic activities and the sub
ject Of the program, in fact, most OF
them grow out of the program.
Folk dancing has very import
ant place in early education. 1t was
one of the great factors in the deyel-
opment of the race, and we are just
beginning to realize what it may do
for the children. To even the casual
observer, it's value in the development
of the body is apparent. Its effect
on the mind is equally great, for the
rnythmical motions arouse emotions,
give expression to them and bring
them under control. We are told that
motion is absolutely necessary to the
understanding. of music. Originally
the two were inseparable, and only
recently has the full Importance OF
uniting them for educational purposes
been made apparent. III you watch a
little child listening to music, you
will notice that he is expressing it in
some form of motion. To direct this
motion and give purpose to it, is the
function OF the folk dance.
Every folk dance has had for its
motive some form of work, play, re.
ligious feeling or, love. The dance
the children have Just given had its
origin in the occupation of washing
clothes. The words are simple and
the motions suggestive OF
work, and the pure joy of combining
them helps to give the children the
spirit of this occupation and does its
share in idealiziag labor. These
particular children come from an en-
yironment opposed to the develop
meHt of control, and when they first
come 20 kindergarten they have few
of the proper social reactions. Play
means TO tease or hit another child
or make. him cry. The blocks and
other playthings are thrown at each
other, end few Of the ordinary appeals
to the interests Of the children reach

panying rhythnl3 has wonderful ef-

When the child comes to kinder
Sarten he has reached the stage when
be is interested in a WIDER range Of
experiences than the home of the
present day can give him. 1t is the
purpose of the kindergarten program
to lead the child into this wider life
and help him to follow up various
threads of related activities which
lead to the home. AS these threads
cross and recross each other, weav.
ing in and out of our complex society,
he gets at first hand orderly imagery
of the life about him. One of the
first interests is in connection with
the food and its preparation. Poi, If

of the children, forms good subject,
The children are taken to the poi
shop and watch every process in the
preparation of poi from the raw taro
to the finished product. They even
cook some taro and pound little poi

"FollOwing these experiences. the

the director. If the visitor arrives at
the circle period and watches the
children go through their skips and

of what it is doing for the child, but
will come away with the idea that
the kindergarten is very like a dane

This program is planned most
carefully, usually an outline for the
entire year is made IN advance. To
make this plan effective, the teacher
must know the neUls of this stage of
childhood in general and of her own
kindergarten children in particular.
She must know the kind of homes

Of the interests Of children at this

with these fundamental needs are
the strongest. The simpler the home ,
the nearer the child comes to these

home. the further he is removed from
them, and the greater need there is
to make the connection in his play.

while we are discussing the psy-
ehoIogY of some of the methods of
infant education, festivals deserve a
word, as the May Day fete has come
to be an annual affair of the kinder

valuable part of the ehild's social.
democratic and art education. To
dress up and assume another charae-
ter for a little while, is not only a
joy of childhood, although that would
Justify it. but it enlarges the ehild'5
concepts, creates and develops new
emotions, expands his personality, sti-
mulates free activity and hence crea-
ton. The little Russian girl who as
sumed a royal carriage and manner
when dressed as a queen, did not for
get her role during the whole morn
ing. Although she loves TO skip and
dance and was urged to do so by the
other children and the teachers, she
could not be persuaded, as in her mind
such gaiety was not consistent with
her new character. She switched her
yellow satin train over the grass with
all the regal air at the command Of
a five year old, and in royal solitude
watched the others partake in the
dance. Nearly year later, when the
