INSPIRATION FOR KINDERGARTNERS.

FLORENCE, MASS., October 18, 1902. THE EDUCATIONAL PUBLISHING CO., BOSTON. DEAR SIRS :

I am in possession of a book, "When We First Go to School," written by M. Helen Beckwith, which pleases me so much that I should like to call your attention to the fact that it is likely to prove as great a boon to Kindergarten teachers as to primary teachers.

From cover to cover the book is full of help and inspiration. The subjects for each month of the school year, as set forth by Miss Beckwith, are especially appropriate and pleasing, and her illustration of these subjects contain many suggestions which will be seized upon with joy by the insatiable Kindergarten and made points of departure for many a delightful morning's work, play and talk.

The stories, one for each month, are delightful, and the reference made to other stories and songs likely to prove helpful in illustrating the subjects, will be appreciated by all Kindergartners, I feel sure. Hoping that this little book may speedily find its way to the homes and hearts of many Kindergartners, I am Yours cordially, Florence Kindergarten. FRANCES M. DAMON.

AN AGENCY THAT RECOMMENDS

TRAINED

kindergarten teachers are in growing demand. A few years ago they were employed only in private schools. Now most cities and large villages have kindergarten departments, and some states, like New York, make special provision for them in the school law. Naturally more is required of kindergarten teachers than of those in the primary or intermediate grades. The personal element is predominant; the kindergarten teacher must be fond of children, attractive to them, in sympathy with them, en

thusiastic in her work. The KINDERGARTEN qualifications and to be willing

dency is to look for exceptional

pay corresponding salaries.

Not seldom we are asked to furnish a kindergarten teacher who is a college graduate or
can show corresponding evidence of culture, who yet prefers to deal with the little people.
We can do well by those who are prepared to do superior work; we have offered $1,500 to a
kindergarten teacher to conduct model classes in a normal college, and then could not se-
cure her, as the school where she was, raised her salary to keep her. There is a future for
kindergartners if they are properly trained, have the right qualifications,

and take the right steps through an agency to meet those who want the best TEACHERS

Progress Record

NINTH THOUSAND.

The pages of this book consist of ruled spaces to be filled in by the teacher, designating "Work planned," "Work accomplished," etc.

The book is presented as offering a simple plan for "giving content and detail to the subjects of the course of study and system to its execution."

If a teacher will write in this Plan Book an outline of the day's work in each study, she will enter upon her work with force and vigor, and the pupils will also be greatly benefited.
