PREFACE: The introductory lecture is the one which first interested the Boston public in Kindergarten education. The seven others are those which, for nine or ten successive years, I have addressed to the training classes for kindergartners in Boston and other cities.......This early works is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject and will appeal greatly to any one interested in early kindergarten history. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
