the desire Of the citizens of Paris for

kindergarten work.

did gifts from Mrs. w. H. Whitley
and Mrs. Steele Marsh. Mrs. Whit

r. Miss Banding, who has directed

the kindergarten work made by
Misses Mars and Bannister shows
the value of having thoroughly train
ed teachers in all departments, for
their departments and interests Of
ten overlap and gives the teachers
opportunity to make a worthwhile
contribution to another department.
