the ones admitted, and when we have all we can care for we will not
take any more. There must be a limit."
This day-nursery, or creche, as it is called in France, is to be under
the management of Miss Love, who has become noted as the manager
of a similar place in Buffalo. She will bring a lot of trained nurses with
her, and the day-nursery of the children's home will be a model.
A kindergarten department, a kitchengarten department, a manual
training department, a food department, and a department of physical
culture will be provided.
PRETTIEST PLAYGROUND IN THE WORLD.
The children needn't be disappointed because there is no place to
play, for the finest playground in the world will be on the roof of the
building. It will be a roof garden like that big one on the top of the Casino
in New York, and will have grass and flowers and trees and vines and
birds and butterflies. What a great place this will be to fly a kite! No
trees or telegraph wires in the way. This roof garden will be so pro-
tected that children cannot see how high they are in the air, though
they're not to be up very high after all, inasmuch as the building is to be
but two stories.
No grown people but the nurses can go into the play-ground. If
the visitors want to see the little girls and boys at play, which, by the
way, will be worth seeing, they must go into a concealed gallery, so they
can look on without interfering in any way with the children's pleasure.
TEACHING THE LITTLE FOLK.
The kindergarten department will be complete, the International
Kindergarten Association being in control. Mrs. Cooper of San Fran-
cisco and Miss Stewart of Philadelphia, President and Vice-President of
this association, will lend their time and influence in this particular
branch of the work.
The department of physical culture will be under the direction of
the Turners' Society of Chicago.
Miss Garnett's famous school for teaching deaf and dumb children
to speak and hear by a certain scientific training of the muscles will be
represented. This is a school supported by the State of Pennsylvania,
and the State will pay the expense of sending Miss Garnett and her
school to Chicago.
There will be a lecture room, too, where every day a lecture will be
delivered about some country, illustrated with stereoptican views. These
lectures are to be delivered by some one who can talk entertainingly to
children. After a lecture on Japan, for instance, the children will all be
taken out to see the Japanese exhibit and the Japs themselves. It may
take more than one day to talk about Japan. But plenty of time will be
taken.
Now this will be done not so much to teach the children about
Japan as to illustrate to the mothers the best methods of teaching ; to
give them an idea of what may be done at home. For this children's
home is not to educate children, but to show mothers how children may
be educated.
