THE FREE KINDERGARTENS.
there ore so many mothers who do
E really know what the method of
kindergarten fa that I shall quote
lessor Foils Adler, an acknowl
edged authority on the subject, whose
explanation should serve to convince
mm of the desirability, even the ne
cessity, of this training for children.
“What fa the system of the kinder-
gortent” I asked.
“It is a means of developing chil
dren through three different channels.
Firtl knowledge; second, duty; third,
social life—ana all in the form of play.
There fa a serious meaning underlying
> the games. Knowledge is given in
the. following manner: Througl
blocks and squares and tablets tb<
children ore taught to recognize all
the different geometrical forms. They
soon know the shape of a rectangle
and sphere and so forth. They never
have any exercises in counting, but
are incidentally taught to count Ex
cellent training in the color sense is
given by matching colors in their
weaving lessons ana by the use of the
color chart In all their occupations
special attention is given to educating
their taste for the beautiful.
“Of special importance to children
is the influence upon them of social
lift. Froebel, the founder of the kin
dergarten, recognized the fact that
association is a powerful instrument
toward shaping the character of chil
dren. The children are taught at on
early age to observe politeness to each
other. The kindergarteners themselves
are especially ^trained to avoid all
harshness. Even the most selfish are
conquered by gentle means. An at
mosphere of refinement pervades the
whole kindergarten. Special import
ance attaches to games. By means of
games children are taught kindness to
animals. They represent different
animals themselves. They are also
taught to respect the different trades.
The scissors grinder is one of the
heroes of Kindergartens. The song of
the shoemaker never fails to awake
the joyfulest echoes. But especially
the love of tho children toward their
parents is developed. Songs about
mother’s love anu father’s kindness
are great favorites, and their theme is
harped upon in endless variations.
As to the free kindergartens, they
•are especially helpful to the poor.
Children of the well to do aro cared
for, if not by their mothers at least by
their nurses, but children of the tene
ment house poor aro too often left to
play in tho hallways or on filthy
streets, where they aro exposed to the
“ kf '
worst examples. The kindergarten
system means really organized play.
The ’ good it does, considered in tno
negativo form, is in keeping children
out of mischief and from being a drag
upon their mothers.
To the question as to what first gave
him tho idea of establishing free
kindergartens. Professor Adler an
swered:
“My interest in seeing tho elevation
of (ho working people. It was a plan
of new education as a means to that
end.”
“Havo free kindergartens been es
tablished in other cities?”
“When I was in San Francisco, sev
eral years ago,” replied tho professor,
[ delivered an address on the
“I delivered an address on tho subject
of the free kindergarten, and the idea
was taken up very quickly. One was
established almost immediately, and
since then others havo been started.
In Rochester a short time ago I also
talked on the same subject, and five
free kindergartens havo been opened
there.”
• “Do you find any difficulty in ob
taining the support you need to carry
on tho schools?"
“No," answered Professor Adler,
“although it takes about $20,000 a
year.”
One might happen to meet Profes
sor Adler in that large, bright room
in Cherry street, where tho children
assemble every aay, for it is through
his endeavors that the class has been
formed, and ho looks in there some
times to sco how tho work is pro
gressing. That tho children came
mere last year for tho first time one
may learn from. Miss Gordon, tho
young lady who, with a pleasant
smile, starts them in at their morn
ing work. But during a few minutes'
stay in the room it will bo discovered
that those of the children who are 8
and C years old have received more
than a few mornings’ lessons in the
commodate sixty or so vent
