To Kindergarten children, apart from movement, rhythm comes first in nursery rhymes, and if we honestly follow the methods of the mother we shall not teach these, but say or sing them over and over again, letting the children select their favourites and join in when and where they like. This is the true Babies' Opera, as Walter Crane justly names an illustrated collection.
He was terrified lest they should expect him to talk. There was the host himself, a tall, athletic young man, clad in evening dress, as also was the editor, a dyspeptic-looking gentleman named Maynard. There was the former's frail young wife, and also an elderly lady, who taught kindergarten in the settlement, and a young college student, a beautiful girl with an intense and earnest face.
My mind convinces me that the kindergarten idea is true; not a perfect thing as yet, but something on the road to perfection, something full of vitality and power to grow; and my heart tells me that there is no more beautiful or encouraging work in the universe than this of taking hold of the unclaimed babies and giving them a bit of motherliness to remember.
If there was a father or brother the responsibility would be on them. There's neither." "But didn't you tell Harrie that that " "I did. And the language I used was not learned in a kindergarten. Among other things I told him was that if he Oh, it's no use going into that. It's easy to say what you'll do, but it isn't easy to show your brother up as as everything one's brother shouldn't be."
"What is this latest tomfoolery about a kindergarten?" "Why, she has actually gotten Mrs. Bartrum and Mrs. Horton, and some of those other society women, to rent the hall over the grocery where the Cant-Pass-It Saloon used to be. They are going to open a kindergarten and Margery Sequin is coming home from Europe to take charge of it. I am afraid the project is built upon the sands.
There is a good deal of time spent in the kindergarten on the cultivation of politeness and courtesy; and in the entirely social atmosphere which is one of its principal features, the amenities of polite society can be better practiced than elsewhere.
In an upper box at the Tivoli it would have been different one could keep in the background; but to appear on Kearney Street with a girl who wore a hat like that and who would not put on her gloves ah, no, it was out of the question. Ida was talking away endlessly about a kindergarten in which she had substituted the last week.
The disapproval of all new books obviously the first in a series. The elimination of travel, trivial in treatment and in series form, such as the Little Cousins. The elimination of the modern fairy tale, except as it has vitality and individual charm, as have those of George McDonald. The elimination of interpreted folk lore, such as many of the modern kindergarten versions.
There should be no sympathy with that servile truckling to popular sentiment which speaks of our brave Volunteers indiscriminately, as if they were all good and all equally well instructed. There were Volunteers who were the equals of the Regulars in fighting and in leadership. And there were some who should have been at home pulling on a nursing-bottle or attending a kindergarten.
I am sitting by the window and the beautiful sun is shining on me Teacher and I came to the kindergarten yesterday. There are twenty seven little children here and they are all blind. I am sorry because they cannot see much. Sometime will they have very well eyes? Poor Edith is blind and deaf and dumb. Are you very sad for Edith and me?
