Discrimination in what is to surround our children is worth 

 volumes of teaching in later life. 



Enlist things living to help you raise your child. A ball 

 while active is, yet, a ball from day to day. How different a 

 plant! Its slow but constant development, in bloom this 

 week, in seed the next, addresses the child in every change. 



The surroundings which we arrange about our kinder- 

 gartens feed the mind, not the fancy. These gardens must 

 offer the child an opportunity to develop. To look upon 

 them primarily as a means for instruction is abusing their 

 purpose and injuring the child. 



The eye of a child is the mouth through which the brain- 

 food enters. It is for you to determine what pictures may 

 pass its absorbing vision. 



Associate yourself with the best in the world, and you will 

 have thousands of allies in your onward move. Oppose the 

 good and every step you take will be a move backward.
