    be little doubt that for the training of very small children Froebel ' s system presents many

    advantages . It is easily and almost insensibly progressive ; it amusesand it really does

    impart to the child some , knowledge which the most ordinary intelligence can permanently

    that Kindergarten instruction , with very few exceptions — has only been given in this country

    than in England . In one respect Continental Kindergartens are infinitely superior to the
