Miss Brown has been connected
with the Bangor kindergarten work

efficiency, ranking with the most
successful kindergarten systems in
the country and her educational
work here has not been confined to
the schoolroom for she has been q
factor in many lines of educational
advancement. Asked if she was to
continue kindergarten work else

not teach kindergarten work any
where but in Bangor. where she has
seen the work grow from infancy.
