FOR THE WEE PEOPLE Value of the Kindergarten System in the District. ee a ee ESTIMATE FOR AN APPROPRIATION Sketch of the Hooper School in South Washington. URGENT NEED OF FUNDS Great interest is attached to the item in the estimates for an appropriation for kin- dergartens in the District. Superintendent Powell, it is stated, will bend every eftort to have the $12,000, which is thought sut- ficient, and nemed in the bill, secured for this purpose. With this sum, it is thought, a school can be established in each of the eleven districts. There are at present a number of kinder- gartens in the city, some of which are sup- ported wholly by char:ty. Of the fatter there are eight or ten schvols supported by a few individuals. Two are supported by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. One of the most noteworthy of the char- ity kindergartens is what is known as the Hooper School, established by Miss Mary Hooper, who has for twenty years been en- gaged in kirdergarten work. The Hooper school is located in the hall at 4% and G@ streets southwest end has been productive of the greatest amount of good to parents and children. System in Boston. The organizer of the school was assoc!- ated with Mrs. Quincy Shaw in Boston. Mrs. Shaw's work was begun in that city as a charity for the rescuing of children from the gutters. The work was carried on until its necessity was recognized by the city, and the kindergarten was made the basis of prbl'c schools. Kindergartens were established there in connection with the pubiic schools years ago. The Hooper Schcol has from the begin- ning relied more upon general support than any of the others. It is well known and is approved by Superintendent Powell and Dr. Whitman of Columbian Untversity. It has recently lost a generous supporter through the death of one of the foremost cit:zens of Washington. Among the leading contrib- utors of the school have been Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, F. C. Stevens, Judge H. B. Brown, Mr. Marcus Baker, W. H. Wiimer and a number of leading business firms. The cost of maintaining the school is e: timated at $38 per month, which includes fire, services of Miss Eliza S. Green, kin- dergartn2r; rent, and other incidentals. Miss Hooper is connected with the school and carries on neighborhood charity work, te which she gives her time without re- muneration. “This lady's work from the first has been one of great devotion and sacr‘fice, tor which no pecuniary return can be made,” a friend sa.d, in speakirg of he: Miss Hooper rea‘ized that a school of this kind was partivulariy needed in that sec- tion, as there are many poor peopie down there. She saw that the children could not be properly attended to, and the idea of establishing a kindergarten, which, by the way, is nearest to her heart, was suggested by frequent visits there. Has Been of Great Value. ‘Those who know of the school assert that it has been of inestimable value to that neighborhood. Many children at different times have attended it. Primarily, they themselves have been bettered by the ex- istence of the kindergarten, and, second- arily, their parents have becn benefited. 1t is hard to realize what good has been ac- complished by the school until a talk has been had with some of the mothers of tie children. Their only fear is that the schoo! may he discontinued. Sad to say, just at present the school is in a bad ccndit‘on pecuniarily. The amounts received for its support since the opening in the autumn have been extremely limited, and unless it is generally supported now it will have to be closed till the first of the year. Ordinarily the Hooper school continues until June 1. An effort will be made to have the charity workers come to its as- sistance and let it continue. Should funds be received in excess of the needs of the school. they will be expended through the Associated Charities or be merged into the fresh air fund for children. Mr. Bailey Willis of 1330 F street is treasurer. Facilities Limited. The school was visited this morning by a Star reporter. While the acconimodations are necessarily limited on account of the lack of funds, as much as possible ts done for the training of the children who attend. There are no prints on the walls, or other objects which it is accustomed to find in well-regulated kindergartens, and the teach- er, Miss Green, apologized by saying they cculd not be secured on account of the straitened condition of affairs in connection with her school. “I will be giad for you to come in and re- main while the children go through some of their exercises,” she told a reporter. “Owing to the inclemency of the weather and sickness there are not as many present as usual. An idea, however, can be gained of what the school really is. Seated around a square desk, formed by putting four boards together, were about twenty children. Their little chairs were drawn up to the desk and they were seated with their arms folded. While their eyes expressed surprise at the appearance of a visitor they were too well trained to ex- hibit any outward sign of excitement. There were all kinds of children, boys and girls. black haired, dark eyed, golden haired, with blue eyes, chubby cheeked, and some with little faces which seemed worn. The majority of them, however, appeared hap- py and healthy, and by the smiles they showed that they were pleased with their surroundings, their teacher and themselves, as well as with cne another. Some of them were little tots of humanity, hardly more than large enough to toddle. The ages of the kindergarten children extend from two and a half to six years, generally. Some of the children there were three years of age. There was one little maiden of only three years, whose eyes were stretched wide oper, but who behaved therself equally as well as a young lady of six or seven times her age. Children of the Poor. “They are the children of poor parents,” Miss Green said, “and those are the kind for whom kindergartens are intended and who are most benefited by them. The schools, you know, zre simply to train the faculties of children and to keep them en- s#aged while thei: parents are employed.” The children were cleanly clad, well kept, and their manners, owing partly to the training which they had received, were excellent. ‘They appeared +9 realize that they were there for their own ood, and whatever was being done was for their benefit. There were no tear-dimmed faces, no frowns, and no expressions of discon- tent. When the ripple of surprise created by the ushering into the room of a visitor rad somewhat subsided, Miss Green con- tinued with the exercises, which had been partially interrupted. “We will have some singing now, cFil- dren,” she said, as she took her seai in front of her diminutive pupils. Up went a little hand belonging to a little girl not_more than four years of age. “Teacher, please let's sing ‘Jack Frost,’ ” she requested. “Very well, children, sing ‘Jack Frost, “Shall we sing it? They Sang “Jack Frost.” There was a chorus of answers in the affirmative from the class, and, led by the teacher, they sang in their piping lit- tle volces the story of how Jack Frost nips the toes and fingers, bites the ears, paints the window panes and slips in through the crannies of the house. Owing to the sickness of the piano player, there was no instrumental accompaniment, but the singing went on seemingly as well without. While the students in miniature were telling of Jack Frost, they illus- trated his pranks with their arms and hands, showing how he nipped the toes and Rachel wants to said Miss Green, Baltimore Store, 108 N.

When the story of naughty Jack Frost had been finished, at the suggestion of one of the nursery children, that of Jack Hor- ner, with which all children are familiar, was taken up and told by a song with the accompanying gestures, was the other. lt was amusing to watch the tots sing these songs with the exercises. They did it with as much earnestness as if they were members of a nd opera company, and as though their lives, or rather fortunes, depended on the manner in which they ac- compiished their duty in this respect. When the singing was finished, little arms folded on the desk in front and the company was at “attention.” a xing Christmas pres: s," said the teacher, ‘and they are tly interested in this. They are going to surprise their parents, and their brothers and sisters, you know.” Making Christmas Presents. Miss Green then distributed a lot of pa- pers and other material out of which the children make the presents. At a werd they opened the packages. and at another word of command they made them ready for going to work upon them. Little Rachel, one of the oldest children in the class, who bas nine brothers and sisters, was em- broidering some flowers upon a piece of card board, and she took intense pleasure in showing this to the visitor and explatn- ing it. Another was embroidering a rabbit, and they were ali employed in this class of work. Little Genevieve, the blue-eyed Ht- tle girl of three years, was as busy as the rest. She was making some sort of check- cred pattern with colored papers and was as proud of it as if it had been a silk dress. Specimens were shown of some modeling in clay which the children had done and the blocks which they arrange in different forms were shown. One of the girls, at the direction of the teacher, made a “beauti form,” a complicated figure, out of the blocks, and then changed it cleverly into another shape. Other examples of their ex- pertness along these lines were displayed, and they were greatly interested in all of them, as was also the visitor. Proud of the Record. “When the children come here they are trained according to their faculties,” Miss Green sald, “and especially in regard to moral tendencies. All the songs and what- ever they have to deal with have some- thing of a moral lesson in them. You know it is the proud record of the system that only one criminal was ever known to have attended a kindergarten. One of our little boy pupils, who attended here, was said to hav» been the worst boy in the neighbor- hood. His mother was continually in hot water on account of people complaining that he had beaten every child with whom he came in contact. When he had attended the kindergarten for some little time he was perfectly tractable and his nature hd been completely changed. This is only one instance of many. With such a start as the kindergarten gives a child, it is no wonder that their footsteps are kept from the paths of crime. They are taught to love one another, to obey their superiors and to be good children in every particular. The exercises open with prayer every morning. I am sure that if the children could have nothing else they would be satisfied with the assurance from Santa Claus that the kindergarten will continue the rest of the year.” When Mothers Are Busy. The hours of the children in the kinder- garten are from 9 to 12. This is the time when the mothers are most busy about their household affairs, and when the chil- Gren can best be spared away from their homes. If the Hooper kindergarten shool should be forced to close the first of the year, as may happen unless charitable friends pre- vent, there will be many a little heart sore and the mothers will sigh for some place, some haven of refuge, to which to send their children, as they have been in the habit of doing to this. Sunday school is only once a week, and continues for a com- paratively short time only. The kindergar- ten is in session every day, and its record in Southwest Washington, as well as every- where it is known, is a remarkable one. With such a record it would hardly seem Fossible that those who can afford to do so would allow it to be discontinued. If mothers’ prayers and the unexpressed wishes of little ones, who have few pleas- ures in this life and but little to amuse them, count for anything, it seems certain that the school will not he closed. —_+ Dentists at a Banquet.
