Dr. and Mrs. Boyd F. Sprague
hnvo established a modern kin
dergarten, located at Bit Wal
nut. They have devoted much
tunc and effort to this project,
because they have long felt
that there were enough chil-
d r c n of kindergarten age to
warrant its establishment.
The Sprngucs have obtained
the services of Ruth Wilhnolh
Jones as the teacher, because
of her wide experience in this
field. She has spent three
months in the cast studying the
best modern trends and prac
tices for a kindergarten teacher,
and therefore it is felt that she
will be capable of carrying the
responsibility of such a position.
The new kindergarten was
open for public inspection on
Saturday and Sunday. Decem
ber 2 and 3. Monday. December
4, marked the opening of en
rollment.
