the child to see them at all times.
The Open-Air School gives much attention to the child's health: it always gives him milk and fish oil, and it accustoms him to physical exercise of every kind; beyond that, it takes care to preserve order, in spite of the moderate freedom it allows the child.
We went out to visit the model school, and found it situated outside the city, in a district where tall trees abound and enchanting views encircle it on every side.
The school's own building is a huge one, arranged within with exquisite taste, so that the children, during their lessons, are kept in an atmosphere suffused with quiet and beauty.
The floors of the rooms of this building are laid with cork, to avoid the noise that might come from the tread of the children's feet.
The garden belonging to this model kindergarten is a broad one, rich in the flowers known in that region of the country; and flowers abound inside the classrooms too, in vases of clear glass.
Most of the pupils of the model school begin their lessons at the age of five — which is not an early age — because before that age the child is trained to know the names of the things around him; and once he has completed that knowledge, he is the better fitted to receive his lessons in reading and writing.

The child must learn cleanliness before everything else; the picture shows how the child goes straight to wash his hands after relieving himself.
Miss al-Nour Qamar is the directress of the kindergarten of the Lebanese Women's League. Early last summer she made a journey to the various countries of Europe, to visit their kindergartens and acquaint herself with the newest methods they follow. A series of articles on what she saw and experienced will appear in The Woman's Voice.
In a room such as this, into which air, light, and sun enter through the wide windows, the children sit quietly, each absorbed in his work.
