Pestalozzi and Froebel and many- others " who have filled our own and our children's lives with pleasures and experiences of object lessons, and the Kindergarten, with its many beautiful phase;,, none of which appeal more strongly than the pleasures of - -- "learning by doing." Among us, as a people, we feel that much has been accomplished and that the path lies very bright before us for the progress and advancement of the future, and that this is made possible through the restora-tioof the Gospel during the past century! and through the Prophet Joseph Smith, who opened the door for woman. " And now where are the limitations of woman's progress and improvement ? And as the care of children is woman's special charge, the new century will see much ad- vancemeut and many things which today are in the experimental stage will be proven and tested, and whatever is imworthy will For however much may be be cast out. said of the present wickedness of the world, with the education of our children in the care of that sex.which has always, and will stili maintain the chastity and virtue of the race, with the possibilities of the newer education added to those long inherited qualities, the race of men will grow and increase in the virtues and graces of life, as well as in intelligence and power. u Louiii B.
