BB it out, refills it, and again empties it, anywhere from one to a hundred times; lio pours the sand thru his lingers in tireless repetition, throws pebbles into the water, tosses bits of paper out of tho window, to tho intense satisfaction of the young soul. Later on ho builds, moulds, paints, saws apart and nails together to-gether again, not so much for the sake of tho result obtained as to feel his growing power over tho material world alout him. In a scientific kindergarten the objects Ubod and activities of the child are typical, aud out of these activities is developed language. And of language, Kroobel the founder of kindergarten schools has tho following to say: "Language represents unity of all diversity, the inner living connection of all things, anil as religion manifests being, and nature, energy, language manifests mani-fests life as u whole; it unites mind and the outer world. It is tho impression of the human mind as nature expresses tho divine." Children botweon four and six years of ago should have tho advantage ad-vantage of the training now ollercd. |
