A Summer Kindergarten Hot weather mornings present many difficulties and problems to the mothers of children of kindergarten age. For this reason there doubtless are many who will welcome the news that a summer kindergarten will be conducted in Wil- mette by Miss Rose Millen and Miss Isabelle Pope, both trained "kinder- gartners." Special attention will be given to the choice of daily program, so that work and play may be properly combined and the children receive practical instruction as well as entertainment. The kindergarten, which will be held five mornings a week at Miss Popes home, 910 Lake avenue, will open Mon- day, June 18. USE JIURINE Nightand 4.
