The Re- verend y verend Gordon Butt, the popular young minister of Goderich preached at both services.

Miss Elinor Snider, and assist- ed by Miss Snider of London, Miss Pentland of Goderioh, Mrs, Booth - ton of Hensallf Mr. Scott, Mr. Baffin and Mr. Henderson, was at its very best.

Did you ever go to Kindergarten ? /How well do I remember the days 1 had the good fortune to spend in ,Kindergarten; first in a kindergarten held in a Sunday -School roots clown in a Kentucky city, later in the Kind- ergarten of one of the public schools in Toronto. Those too brief months in Kinder- garten have always stood out in my memory like a day of bright sunshine followed by weary weeks of rain. My ntotlher still likes to tell how day after day she would ask on my return what I had done at Kinder- garten , and I would reply happily, "Had fun," Herself do educationalist and the wife of a teacher, she understood back forty odd years ago, the value of the Kindergarten as a practical applica- tion of scientific principles in true education. 'How M loved those hours in Kinder- garten f Kindergarten ! The Child- ren's. Garden t With the songs and stories, the games, the nature study and the handwork, the cutting, past- ing, sewing, weaving, modelling our Bands were trained to usefulness, our senses were sharpened to keener ob- servation, our minds stored with knowledge and our spirits enriched daily with lessons in kindness, help- fulness and co-operation, and in the appreciation of beauty in form and color and music, in nature and in art. Do you wonder that a thoughtful child should loolc back year by year and question the necessity or the wis- dom of the sudden break from the happiness of the Kindergarten to the days of dull restraint in the traditional schoolroom.? 'If you yourself have ever been a Kindergartener, you will understand what I nteate • you will understand the hot fluslt of eager and amazementthat comes involuntarily when those who do not know dis- parage the work of The Kindergarten, Large bodies move slowly, and the educational' system of a country, yes of the world, with its thousands upon thousands of teachers whose prepara- tion for their wort: has taken years. Cannot adopt new methods overnight. ;But "vitality' inheres in truth" and "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." The Kindergarten was founded on truth on theriaci le p p that a educational methods should be based on the study of the nature and natural development of the child. • It was their insight inspired by a deep love for the child and a reverent appreciation of the value of the Pos- sibilities in the child that made Proebel and Pestalozzi, pioneers of the Kindergarten, two of the most powerful educational reformers the world has known, reformers whose in- fluence is gatheriug•force year bye year a century after they worked and wrote, :To -day the influence of the Kinder. garten may be observed throughout the public schools, most markedly in the lower grades in cheerier class- rooms, more interesting studies and methods of teaching and in happier pupils, but still clear in the, upper grades-, in our Secondary Schools, and in the Philosophy of Education being taught in our Training Schools for Teachers. Just in proportion as our education- al curriculum and methods ere really suited to the needs of the pupil, the pupil loves the school and makes gen- uine progress. Let's help educational progress by understanding and using to the hest advantage the educational methods and opportunities we 'have to -day, and by understanding these, let the weight of our influence count in favor cif further progress to -morrow, - CONSTANCE.
