Prof. Patty Smith Hill of Columbia
University is TO address the faculty and
patrons of the Tower Hill School on The
kindergarten. at the New-Century Club

ment between the ages of five and six,
there should be no great change in the
methods of education.

garten part of the regular school and
She has insisted that the kindergarten
should be as responsible to the primary
school for the education of the children
as the primary school to the grammar
school.
During the last few wears Prof. Hill has
increased her educational scope to extend
through the third grade. She has been
conducting some educational experiments
at the Horace Mann School of New York
City, the results of which are q valuable
contribution to the science of teaching.
