Excerpt from National Kindergarten Manual: Containing Practical Model Lessons, Rules and Lectures for the Kinderarten and the Nursery, Stories, Etc MY object in publishing the present volume is to disseminate, as much as in my power, a knowledge of the kindergarten philosophy among teachers as well as parents. The National Kindergarten Songs and Plays were intended to fill a certain want, and the little book has been well received. An additional number of the songs and plays so popular in our Washington Kindergartens, will be found in my new Song Book, Cheerful Echoes from the National Kindergarten, which has just been published. At the request of my teachers and normal students, I have introduced a few practical lessons and stories, which illustrate the proverbs and verses taught during our conversational exercises, while biding the time when I shall publish a book composed entirely of stories for the kinder garten and nursery. To comply with the wishes of many mothers who have attended my lessons on the kindergarten in the nursery, I have also given my educational and hygienic rules, eight of which are given with each lecture to mothers, teachers, and nursery-maids. These are part of my teachers' training, and I hope that they may prove of as much value in the future as they have in the past. They are gathered from the highest educational and medical authorities in the country, and have all been tested by my own experience in bring ing up my family of eight children. People may say, our children ought to be exemplary, but while they are far from perfect, I am quite sure they would not have grown up to be as good and useful citizens as they are, had they not enjoyed the kindergarten training, and the most careful hygienic treatment from earliest childhood to maturity. For the benefit of kindergarten training schools, I enu merate my course of Lectures on The Kindergarten in the N ursery, which are really the foundation upon which the whole system is built, and a knowledge of which I consider indispensable to the proper qualification of the kindergarten teacher.
