February 26, 1927 WINNETKA TALK Kindergartners Told They Are Genuine Patriots Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart of Har- vard university, was the guest of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college on Wednesday, and spoke to the students on the subject, "What are We Here for?" Professor Hart, who is the brother of Miss jeannette Hart, head of one of the halls in the college dormitories, has been greatly interest- ed in the growth and development of the school for several years. In regard to the question which he chose as his subject, Professor Hart said that we are all engaged in trying to develop a better idea of education. "We used to think that education was like going up a flight of steps, a step from one grade to the next, from the primary to the elementary school, from elementary to high school, and so on. More recently we have discovered that education is not a flight of stairs, it is a slope, a gradual progression. Ed- ucation is one process from the first entering into an organized school room or kindergarten up to graduation from a university or professional school. In many ways, the process in the different stages is the same, and the persons engaged in education, from the kin- dergarten to the professional school, are on the same job. "If we are all in the same business," he continued, "we ought to work to- gether. You are shaping the product for the colleges. You have the first chance and a good deal depends on the way you deal with the children. And you also have the satisfaction of know- ing you are a group of genuine patriots, that you are serving your country, that you are developing a group of men and women, from the ground upwards, who are to carry on its ideals."
