Elizabeth Mechem Fuller of the
Institute of Child Welfare at the
University of Minnesota in a for
word paid the following tribute to
the author:
Mary Jackson Ellis is a real
kindergarten teacher. She does not
write about children from afar;
she writes with them as she lives
and learns with them. That she
likes and respects the five-year-
old and sees the unique potentials
of each is evident in her kinder
garten room which is a working
laboratory in human relation
ships. II is difficult to end the
day in the Ellis Kindergarten be-
cause the children are loathe to
leave II.
with a humility typical Of
Mary Ellis's teaching, she waited
for many years to put into written
form her Kindergarten Log. She
waited because she feared the
consequences of a book which
might be misinterpreted to be-
come a This is how you do IT, col

Mrs. Fuller said she MRS. FL

users of her book needed good
companion books on general the

waited until her co-workers,

she had something worthwhile to

Humphrey commended the Ur-

work it has accomplished during
the past year. The League he said
represents and symbolizes the
practical application of the prin-
ciples Of equality and social JUS
tice."
He claimed that the work OF
the null has contributed inn
measurably to the strength of the
nation and to the well being of
thousands of individuals, 1t has

pie who believe in fair and equal

Humphrey. ut has a high stand

Humphrey pledged to continue
to press the issues of civil rights
in Congress and urged to Leagu,
to call upon both Democrats and

He praised the executive a,
