economy. He said the house had passed
a bill appropriating over o million for
good roads aud he thought they ought
to establish school for little children
who are running on the streets without
any means of acquiring an education.
Mr.. Kubli was opposed to the princi.
pie of the bill as in his opinion a child
from four TO six years ought to be under
the care of its mother and not in a
school He thought the bill was waste
ful extravaganza OF money.
| Because the kindergarten fills a place
IN the lives of the poorer classes of the
city, Mr.. Stevens was in favor of it.
Mrs. Alexander Thompson was called
on for her opinion and she said that she
was elected on the platform of economy
also but with the provisio, economy
with efficiency. She agreed with Mr.
kubli that child from four to six
should be at home with its mother; if
the mother is the right kind. But these
schools will practically be restricted to
the slum districts where the mothers do
not know how to take care of their chill
dren, and therefore they require other
care.
