MISS NEWTON TALKS OF KINDERGARTEN WORK. Mi.ss Fiances E. Newton, head of the kindergarten department of the Chautauqua assembly, aad teacher at the Chicago Kindergarten institute, gave a talk yesterday afternoon at the kindergarten room in Lincoln school building, to about 150 members of the Mothers' club and the Kindergarten association. Miss Newton is a very pleasant and interesting talker. She treated the subject of the kiudergar ton work in a general way, showing the increased power pupils derive from the work as shown in thir progress in the higher grades. She expressed herself as surprised that Rock Island had not taken advantage of the pro vision made by the state for a free kindergarten system. The state bears the greater part of the expense and it is only necessary for the city to vote the adoption of the system at a regu lar election. The main objection to the state law is that under it no chil dren under (J years of age can be ac cepted. Miss Newton urged the es tablishment of the free kindergarten and the doing away with a large part of the kindergarten work now done in the first grade. Mis3 Newton is working in Daven port and Moline also. She speaks again in the assembly room at the hih school Friday night and will ex plain how to establish the free kinder garten system.
