There are two classes of mothers
•who need to utilize kindergarten priti
fifties in the home; thtrse who have
children in the kindergarten, that
they may cooperate with the (cachet
in her methods for development ol
those children; and those living
where no kindergarten is yet estab
lished and who realize the need of
making the most of the golden, quick
ly speeding formative years, while
still endeavoring to secure a kinder
garten at the earliest possible mo
ment. Too much istress cannot ii<
laid upon the importance of this pre
school period. Some child psycholog
ists tell us that the trend of the
child's character is determined dur
ing the first six years. In any
event the problem of keeping the
runabout baby happy an 1 busy if
the largest one which must be con
fronted in the home. The average
mother has no training for this Job
She does one of three things; inun
dates her child with a flood o
"don’ts"; devotes herself- to hi
amusement to the detriment of hi;
character; or leaves lnm absolutely
to his own devices provided lie doe!
not “bother” her. By the use o
kindergarten methods the mothei
can so direct legitimate child ac
tivity that the child's character wll
be strengthened while shq is lef
with uninterrupted periods for hei
own Interests and for houselioli
duties.
By way of illustration, consider th<
picture resultant from a rainy day ir
the average home. Its high lighb

ful. nerre-ir.zz.led mother, and dis
orderly rooms Contrast that picturt
with this ?t ihe home in which th<

She knew that Marjorie was not

She knew, too, that she could easily
afford to devote 10 minutes to this
purpose. She cuddled the disconsol

three minute story. Then she said
I firmly:
“No more, now, dear. Mother is
