SPOKE AT KINDERGARTEN
TEACHERS MONTHLY MEETING
r. l.. Newton Tells of the Essentials
of a Good kindergarten.

F. L. Newton addressed the kinder
garten teachers at their monthly
meeting in Broadway school Thurs
day afternoon on the Essentials of a
Good kindergarten. To be worthy of
such a rating a kindergarten must
justify it's cost. produce indispensable
results and be in harmony with and
preparatory to primary work.
: Mr.. Newton took UP in detail GER
tain habits children should form in
the kindergarten. He emphasized the
opportunity the child's first school
teacher has of intoxicating ones atti-
tudes towards the school, toward his
fellow pupils, the teachers and school
property. An Interchange of kinder
garten and first grade work was ad-
vised. That is. some kindergarten ac-
tivities may profitably be continued
in first grade, likewise some grade
work may well be started in the kim
dergarten. The needs of the children
from nine tEnglish speaking homes
was touched upon with special refer
enee to training in English. In some
way these children must be given the
literature suited to their age as a
foundation for later work in English.
The Importance of honest praise and
the proper use of commentator were
emphasized. Other essentials that re-
suit in the highest and best Develop
ment of the young child were dis
cussed, bringing to conclusion a
most helpful and interesting talk.
