and the methods of applying them in a simple, scientific way.

In mentioning a course followed by the model kinder-garten of the Lebanese Women's League, I did not mean to slight the kindergartens of the other institutions of their due; rather I intended to call attention to a sound work that I have watched at close range, and whenever I followed it I found in it a sound course—that we may perhaps be able to lead private

and public institutions to apply it, especially as kindergartens and day nurseries have begun to multiply in our society. They are without doubt on the way to further increase, so long as modern education continues to give the preschool age a share of its essential concern, out of its conviction that this sensitive stage is a formative stage, and that the bodily, mental, and psy-chological impressions that come upon the individual at this age

are what determine the kind of personality by which he will be distinguished afterward.

And if the good intentions in us are agreed upon raising up a sounder generation, a generation in which the powers of mind and body are proportioned and bal-anced, let us give health care in kindergartens and day nurseries a serious share of our concern, and give the child of preschool age the rights of true health care that are owed to him from us.
