THE KINDERGARTEN
[Welland Tribune, 1 January 1904]
An unfounded impression prevails that if the kindergarten department of the public school were done away with there would be a saving to the town. Not so. The other departments of the school complain of overcrowding as it is, and if the kindergarten were abolished and its attendance (or even half of them) added to the other departments the engagement of another teacher would be imperative. At the opening of the kindergarten in September, 17 pupils were entered and the average attendance was 38 until the diphtheria scare interfered. This attendance certainly shows that a kindergarten is needed and appreciated, and that if it were agreed with, another teacher would be hired for the other departments.
