Topeka parents are eager for their
children to enter Topeka kindergar-
tens, for as early as this spring. moth
erS and fathers petitioned kindergar-
ten authorities for permission to enter
their children this fall. kindergarten
facilities in Topeka are Improving but
are very inadequate to take care of
the great number or boys and girls
who wish to enter. Numbers of To-
peka children are on the waiting list
hoping for a chance to enter this fall.
The educational value of the early
years of childhood is widely recog-
II,
dent of the National kindergarten as
sociation, has said: This country has
not only been a laggard in starting
kindergartens but also has been be-
hind in extending kindergartenS to the
mass of its population. AS early as
1905 little Belgium was giving kinder
Sarten instruction to more than 30
per cent of its children of to years
of age, while even at the present time
we are providing education for less
than IL per cent of our children of
kindergarten age"
The statement has been made that
there is no record of a child having
ever been arrested in California who
had been to kindergarten. The means
by which the kindergarten accom-
plished its purpose are scientific, and
are the result of an intimate knowI-
edge of child on the part of the
philosophy of Froebel. Some years
ago the following incident occurred in
a kindergarten. One of the children
during the course of the morning took
toy that belonged to another child. |
He hid it. intending to take it home.
The owners was distressed over its loss
and complained to the teacher. She |
did not start an investigation and ex-
pose the child who took the toy, but |
allowed the children to- go on with |
their morning program, apparently |
ignoring the incident. However when |
the story hour arrived, she told a story |

out the thought of honesty. Before |
the child went home he brought the /
toy to the teacher and told her that |
he had taken it but that he was sorry. |
Training like that will eliminate many |
future criminals.
