THE KINDERGARTEN At first thought one might . not suppose the question of a kindergarten would ' have much bearing on the subject of town improvement, but a closer study of the kindergarten and its mission will convince one that it has a vital place in the life of any community. The quality of citizenship is the measure of any community. It matters not the enterprise and push of a peopleit matters not the thrift and saving qualities; if there be not a bed-rock of solid character underlying these there is no suc cess worthv the name for that community. The schools and the homes of the land are the ! soils that produce either good or bad citizens. If the home influence be what it should be, and is: followed by the right sort of school training, the average boy or girl will develop into a creditable , product. If either of these fail in their mission, 1 the result detracts from success in proportion toj the degree of failure. j The old idea that formerly prevailed with many j of our people that the child should be left to run wild until school age arrived, when he could be i readily molded into the correct shape, has been ! exploded. True under this program many noble characters have been produced, but it has been in . spite of, rather than because of, the method. The kindergarten derives its great value from the fact that the first few years of a child's life , constitute the period in which the groundwork of character is laid. The impressions stamped on the young mind from the age of one or two years to five or six, are permanent. No amount of after training can entirely obliterate them If these impressions are healthful and wholesome, the child is fortunate. If the reverse, the child has been burdened with an incubus that may require a lifetime to shake off. Now it is true that the home is supposed to fur nish these early influences that shall start the child on the right road in life. In too many instan ces, however, the home life does not furnish these influences, and in many cases it is no' fault of the guardians of the home. Supposing the home life to approximate the ideal; that the parents are all they should be; that they have a vital interest m the development ot. the young minds and souls entrusted to their care; the I fact remains that an intelligent guardian-! ship of the child during every day and hour of its j life is a practical impossibility for its parents. If i life held for them no other duties this might be possible. But there are other duties that demand their attention, and for the sake of the child these duties must not be evaded. Who has not heard the expression from a distrct- j ed mother of an active boy: "I'll be so glad when j he starts to school." Not that this mother wishes to shirk her responsibilities, but the sober truth is, the job is too big for her. The young life is too ; vigorous for her supervision, encumbered as she j is with many other duties, all which must be met. ( It is at this point that the efficient kindergarten teacher steps into the breech and bridges over the j trying period of the young life from infancy to ! childhood. A few hours every day wherein the j parent can shift the burden of the child's care upon other comptent shoulders, gives time for re- j cuperation of energies and a renewing of en thus-! lasm for the tasks temporarily laid down. But the qualifications for a successful kinder garten teacher are rare. Few people possess ; them. One must not only love children and be possessed of unlimited patience. One must also ! be able to put one-self in harmony with child life and be able to see clearly the child's point of view. The successful teacher must be able to enter wholeheartedly into all the interests that go to make up the child's world, as in no other way can the confidence and love of the child be gained, and i without these the teacher's efforts are worse than j wasted. The community that would be sure of a stable j groundwork for the civilizzation that is to radiate j from it, will, if it has not already done so, take j steps to at once establish a first-class kindergar- j ten. Perhaps no other one influence has had more to do in the great improvement noted on all hands inltfie rising; genfratk tally and morally.
