FREE KINDERGARTEN A VITAL NEED FOR CHILDREN OF CITY
It was agreed at a meeting held in the Wanganui City Council Chambers last night to form a Wanganui branch of the New Zealand Free Kindergarten Association. The following provisional committee was set up with power to add: Miss J. Sewell (convener), Mcsdames M. McFarlane, J. Gould, O. Olsen and P. Whitlock.
Mr. N. M. Izard, who prefaded, said there was a number of small kindergartens working successfully in Wanganui, but they were not adequate to cope with the demand. All had long waiting lists. Kindergartens were of great benefit to mothers, and he felt it would be a great community asset, to have a branch of the kindergarten movement, established in Wanganui.
The meeting was addressed by Miss Sewell and sevaral members of the meeting who had association with kindergarten work, and all were unanimous that a kindergarten should be established in the city. It was pointed out that, mothers today had to contend with many and varied problems which mothers oi past generations did not have to grapple with, and that the establishment of such a project, would be a great help.
