In the'course of her 'annual report given at last night's meeting of tho Richmond I'rco Kindergarten Union, Miss Rilcy, the head mistress, said: "I am often asked, 'Why don't wo pay our students?' and in reply I would liko to point this out: These young women, in common with uuiversity students, are finishing their education and preparing for ii profession, and when you contemplate that they avo not only.getting all this training from the study of children and books, but are getting the personal supervision, lectures, and suggestions of women who iiave paid high fees in order to gain their certificates, and also are.giving the result of their many years of experience, you can see that tho students are gaining through their training more than they will be able to appreciate all their lives long."

What Kindergartncrs Learn. In speaking of what kindergarten students learn in tho course of their train- , ing, Miss Riley, Prinoipal of the- "JKichmond Free Kindergartens, maintained at last nighfs meeting that, apart from the subjects they study, these girls learn, through their work some of the biggest lessons, in life. They learned that life and their life had some definite aim which they should try to accomplish. There was a. reason for being on this earth-; they had.a personality which it was (their duty to use for the benefit of; humanity; they forgot themselves and became conscious of others who, perhaps, needed their.help, and they found they hafl tho power to minister. Thus these girls had learnt to think, and, what was of more value, to strive, to tell by some means what they thought. Then again they learned the beginnings of many arts'and crafts—the simple application of industrial works. Many of tho students, if they chose, could quito easily earn good "pin money" by their handwork, much of which, they had learned during their training. Lastly, the wise kindergartner i 6 rejuvenated and kept eternally young, not always in appearance, although this is often the case, but her heart was young, and slio thought from other people's paint of view. She- was too busy to ho trivial, and sho was too happy to Lβ unkind.
