September 11, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 17 CHILDREN'S SCHOOL ENROLLMENT LARGER National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary College Equips Addi- tional Unit for Children The enrollment in the Children's school of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college has gone on apace during the summer months, to such an extent in fact, with the children under four that it has been necessary to equip an additional unit to accom- modate them. The school for the com- ing year, which opens in Harrison hall Monday, September 20, will include a nursery school for children 2 and 3 years of age, a junior kindergarten for those of four, a senior kindergarten for the five-year-olds, a lower primary for six-year-olds, and an upper primary for those 7 and 8 years of age. Stan- dard requirements for the first, second and third grades will be met by the pri- mary classes, and in addition to this the children will have an unusual op- portunity for the study of natural science, social science and for construc- tive activity along various lines. School for Normal Children The subject matter and curriculum throughout the demonstration school is planned to insure the all-around de- velopment of normal, healthy children, and as yet no equipment has been pro- vided for the care of defective children. Educational tests will be given upon entrance by Miss Laura Hooper and Miss Anna Markt of the psychology department, and physical examinations by Dr. Mary Pope. The college pro- vides a clinic for the examination of defective children and gives advice as to suitable treatment, schools, etc. but does not at present accept such cases for enrollment in the school. Appoint Instructors The college has been fortunate in securing for the Children's school, Miss Edith Maddox and Miss Miriam Bru- baker, who for the past year conduct- ed the demonstration nursery school at the child welfare research bureau of Teachers college, Columbia university. The opening of experimental nursery schools in many of the leading univer- sities has created a distinct shortage of trained workers for the nursery school. and National is particularly fortunate in securing Miss Maddox and Miss Brubaker. Miss Maddox will direct the nursery school, co-operating with Miss Florence Rice who directed the very successful summer session of the Nursery school, and Miss Brubaker - Telephone Winnetka 613 -- E . hb | Mabelle A.

School an Inspiration The Children's school of the college is used for the inspiration and infor- mation of the students, but not for | their experimentation. Undergraduate students do not teach in the demonstra- tion school, but have the opportunity lof observing the most approved meth- [ods and materials used by expert | teachers under controlled conditions. Parents whose children are in the demonstration school are also given the opportunity for observation and for individual and group conference con- cerning the children, their needs and capacities.
