been asked to give the background
andthe structural functioning process
of the Goldsboro kindergarten be
cause the Junior Woman’s Club bad
sought the aid of the churches and
civic organisations in making the
kindergarten and nursery they spon
sor an accredited school.
Mrs. Hocutt stated that the Pro
testant Kindergarten in Goldsboro
originated In a kindergarten spon
sored by the Baptist Church in that
city. When the scope of their under
taking became too large for the one
church, it sought the aid of other '
Protestant churches. .
The speaker dealt mainly with
facts and figures, giving detailed in
formation about fees, teacher’s salar
ies, budget for the over-all set-up,
the work carried on, equipment and
goals.
She related that a board of .direc
tors composed of one lay member
from each el» rcb mid the minister of
each church, directed the Kindergar- ,
ten and- First Grade project The . x
churches support the kindergarten on
a percentage basis of church mem
bership. The school has three cer
tificated teachers and is held hi the
Baptist church. Rent to paid for the
use of the building.
In a handbook prepared by the '
Goldsboro teachers, a thought is ex
pressed that epitomises the Junior
Woman’s Chib work, their desire, and
the desire of othef women, particular
ly church women, in seeking’to im
prove the Nursery and Kindergarten >
project. The thought to this; “Little
children are very important people. ,
Their introduction to school and their’
development in toe early years of
school attendance have profound and
lasting effects.”
