The Play school provides opportunity op-portunity for individual development develop-ment under healthful conditions.

The boys and girls are guided lo uecome inenuiy, sympauieuc, generous, reasonably affectionate and happy. Home and school cooperation is indispensable in the Play Program. Pro-gram. Much of the value of the training in Play school is lost unless the principles can be carried car-ried over into the remainder of the child's life.

We hope even more may be organized for another year. |
