The union has not met-in Boston since 1902, at which time it numbered about 7,600 members; it has now nearly 20,000 members in all parts of the world, and is the third largest educational organlzvlon in existence. The growth of the union has been an interesting one. In 1878, Miss Elizabeth Peabody, of whose fame as a_ Pioneer worker for little children New England is justly proud, gathered together the hundred or so isolated and small assqciations already inter- ested in kindergarten education into one body, and founded The American Froebel union. This was succeeded, in 1882 at Detroit, by the Froebe] In- stitute .of. North America, and '‘three vears later this organization became the: Kindergarten Départment of the l¥ational ‘Educational association. In 1892, looking towards a fitting repre- sentative of kindergarten interest at the Colymbia exposition to be held in Chicago the followihg year, the Inter- national Kindergarten wunion in fts present form came into being. The numerical growth of the Union, indicating as it does the greatly in- creased interest in Kindergarten edu- cation throughout the country, is of exceeding importance, but it indicates by no means the only growth that The last fifteen Years have seen many changes in.the methods and materials of the kinder- garten, and a greatly increased in- fluence of the kindergarten upon the work of the succeeding. school grades. ' The coming convention will demon- Strate as nothing else could the pres- ent vitality of the Kindergarten and its future promise. Subjects of great interest educationally will be discussed by experts. Boston will lend her wealth of historic, educational, and other varied interests for the delight of visitors from .distant secflons of our own and other countries, and the convention should prove inspiring to all. To the accéomplishment of this and the union and all those responsi- ble for the success of the meetings be- speaks the interest and support of all allied educational agencies and of the Dublic at large.
