E. A Kindergarten Section, and the Salt Lake Federation of Labor. These or- ganizations feel that a law providing for kindergarten oi t petition of parent s should be passed, because, 1. Only a small proportion of the rhildien of this state are having the advantages of early systematic traini- ng. 2. A manadatoiy-on-petitialaw provides for local option. It does not force kindergarten upon any communi ,ty but makes it easier for parents to obtain this educational advantage for their children when they so desire ni v to do so. In no state where this type of law is in force has the extension of the kindergarten been precipitant. 4The law has resuitrd in a gradual and 3. orderly increase in the number of classes provided. 4. Utilizing the years between four and six, wm the children's services are of no economic value to their families,' is the most logical means of providing additional schooling for those of the very poor who are forced to become at a very early age. Statistics show that in the aver age city of the United States one child in four repeats the first school year's work, which proves conclusive ly that the first grade does not meet the need of the little cnild who has jnst left his home environment. The kindergarten1 is an investment which will bring large returns to the stale by preventing retardation. 5. The legislators of eleven other states have hen convinced of the wisdom . of this legislation and have enacted petition ' kindergarten laws. 7. California liasi had such a law since 1SJ13 and consequence has advanced from ninth to first place among the states in providing kindergarten education for its children. 8. Will C. Wood, for many years State Superintendent of Public - Instruction in California, has said that the kindergarten law of his state lias r proved satisfactory to hoth taxpay- ers and educator !. P.y reducing the enormous sunn now spent upon our criminal classes largely the result of neglected child hood the kindergarten will eventual ly pay for itseif. Although Utah ranks ' twenty-secon- d compared with the other states in the nation, its mothers have demonstrated to the nation that they know the value of early training. During this last year they have led the nation in effort put forth to obtain kindergartens for fheir little children. They realize that it is the eharn age and that truth, honesty, temperance, fairness, charihave to be learnty. and ed as well as other things. The parents of this state now ask the members of this Legislature now session to make it possible for them to obtain kindergarten tioni for their children. rs ' . . eter-fo-rmin- g self-contr- ol -- oo- meeting will be held at the Relief the R.
