Abstract
IN these eight lectures, which have been addressed during the past nine or ten successive years to training classes for Kindergarten teachers in Boston and elsewhere, Miss Peabody explains the system of Froebel, and the principles on which it rests. The very first sentence of the first lecture shows the serious view entertained by Miss Peabody of the duties of such teachers: “Whoever proposes to become a Kindergartner according to the idea of Froebel, must at once dismiss from her mind the notion that it requires less ability and culture to educate children of three, than those of ten or fifteen years of age. It demands more.”
Lectures in the Training Schools for Kindergartners.
