MRS. STANFORD.
‘Tell me how this i<iea of establishing
& kindergarten in the slums of San Fran-
cisco first occtirfed to you,” 1 said to
Mrs. Stanford.
"It was more than ten yearstagQ,” she
replied, "that a young lady came to me
one day to solicit my help in this kinder-
garten work which she had already be-
gun in the low quarters of the city, but
which she found she was not able to
carry on without financial aid. She
talked sowell and seemed such a bright,
intellectual girt and so thoroughly in
earnest that at last l ffckod her how
much she would need to carry on the
work for a year. She said $1.000 would
be necessary to carry it on as she plan-
ned. I tol(| her to go to others and get
all she could and then come back to me
and I would.make up the balance.
"In about three weeks she returned.
Sh© had only succeeded in raising twelve
dollars. 1 gave her the first installment
of the $1,000 she wanted and promised
to visit the school. My son Leland went
with mo :1 thought l would not go
empty handed. so 1 bought candies,
fmit and toys for the children- . 1 had
not been in that quarter of the city tie-
fore. and 1 never imagined tboro -was
anything like the misery and squalor I
found there. Jt was a revelation to me.
Oh, 1 hud always lived such a selfish
life!
"1 toad lived all my life up to that
time entirely for my own pleasure, but
the experience of that day and tlie joy
expressed by those little children over
the insignificant gifts that 1 had brought
them opened my eyes to a phase of life
that 1 did not realize existed, and 1
thnnk God that 1 have never closed them
sinca
"My dear boy was so happy that day,
and enjoyed so much seeing those poor,
scantily clothed, poverty pinched babies’
delight aftSieir games and exercises. The
childreui^re 30happy, too, that it. made
my heart? glad. They crowded about
me and stroked my gown, and of their
own accord thanked me for bringing the
beautiful things’ to them. ,
"When we caine out my boy said,
‘Mamma. I think that is the best thing
you ever (li<l in your life.'
>T asked Miss Ramson to Write me
through the winter of the success of the
enterprise. Whenever one of those let-
tom came Leland would leave anything
he was doing to come and listen and
learn how the kindergarten was getting
on. After a visit to Europe we went
again to the school. The children ex-
pected us this time and had made great
preparations. So we wore given quite
an entertainment,
"During the short time 1 was allowed
to have my dear boy with me he made
this school his chief care. By his own
ettoils he had accumulated a little
money, about $1,000. which was in the
oank in his own name. During his ill-
ness I was one day trying to entertain
him and said;
to touch it while
my own. And yet
.,,.....,ris&»
“Mj? whole life," ibq went on to say.
"Changed from that hour; my manner
of thought changed; ray very soul was
created anew. But l can never live
down those wasted years.”
Eight schools have been established
by -Mrs. Stanford—six in San Francisco,
at the extreme ends of the city in the
most disreputable portions, ^nffl«wo in
the country. The influeneb^f tneso ten
years of kindergarten in the city,
not alonoon the children but on the
neighbortexL is ,majw«f(4B£AThe, pub-
lic schools that once lodrec* -forward
with dread to thy iqttuxi of jjtapils, from
these quarters i-ibW ift^ifo-lhem with
pleasure, so ref: lilig has the influence of
the kindergai i- t work been.
Mrs. Sarah <' >oper is the superintend-
ent of the city bools, which contain in
all about 800 .ildrert betweenl the ages
of fifteen months and seven years. The
largest school is at the earner of Mission
3hu FbUHiV.JtfeietA va*d Contains 104
pupils. With fonri teachers. Every school
is supplied with a vvashstyud. soap and
towels, to Which the little ones always
need to be immediately introduced.
Bnt it is surprising to note how quickly
a sense of shiuno and pride is aroused in
them, and they somehow manage after
A ljpw weeks to have this duty performed
for them before they come. After the
bath each child is put into a clean apron
and given a dean handkerchief, the use
of which is of necessity one of the first
things taught them.
In every school there is afyia^o. The
singing and marching attracts the ehil-.
dren and make them like to colne. In
almost every instance the little ones
learn here for the first time of God, and
a deep impression is made on their
childish minds. Their faith in the effi-
cacy of prayer is strong. Sometimes
they direct their prayers toward Mrs.
Stanford, (relieving from experience that
she can easily respond to their requests.
One of the many pretty stories in con-
nection wit h the work that Mrs. Stan-
ford told me 1 must repeat, for it illus-
trates how much good is being done.
One day a little boy came to the school.
Though evincing the most abject pov-
erty, he had something itrhis manner
and in his clean patched clothes that
showed that he was superior to the
other children, As the days went by
the teacher was more and more im-
pressed with this idea, and called Mrs.
Cooper's attention to the boy. ,Sbe went
borne with him to see his toother and
ascertain their cohdition. - . The “home”
was a bare and desolate garret, and the
mother was a pitiable looking object.
When Mrs. Cooper introduced herself
the poor girl, for she was scarcely more,
put her face in her hands and began to
sob. t
“1 am ashamed to have you know my
poverty,” she said,
In answer to kindly inquiries she said
that her husband was the son of a min-
ister in the east. - When she married
him they made a comfortable living.
But after moving to Sail Francisco lie
got into bad company, and now he was

prisons not a boy or girl can be found,

The six schools in San Francisco and
the two in the country near the home of
tho Stanfords at Menlo Park, which Mrs.
Stanford has recontly established and
which aro under her own personal super-
vision, cost her $7,000 a year.
These schools were the first memorial
kindergartens established in the world.
They by no means represent the whole of
Mrs. Stanford’s charitable work. There
is no charity in California that has not
had her aid. and the poorof Washington
have reason to respect -her kindness of
heart. She has this year endowed the
orphan asylum at Albany, her native
place, with $100,000, which provides for
an Infant department,. This asylum was
established by Mrs. Stanford's parents.

a complete wreck,- and ail they Itiul to
live on was the mere pittance she earned
with her needle. ’ ,
After it few weeks the teacher at the
kindergarten was surprised and pleased
to observe a decided change in the dress
and manner of the boy. He had warm
shoes and stockings, a new overcoat,
etc., and seemed very.hapry.
Mrs. Cooper made another call upon
the little woman in .the garret. This
time she was not received with tears.
“Oh. 1 want to tell you," she said,
"what your kindergarten lias done for
us.*' She then told how her boy would
come home at night and sing the songs
ami tell the pretty stories he had- learned,
and praise the kind lady who had estab-
lished the school, and say the prayers
she had told them her boy had said.
The father became interested and en-
couraged him to toll aboiit the things he
learned at school. One’night he went
with him and put him5 to bed himself.
When he came back he sat down beside
his wife, who was sewing by tho dim
light, instead of going out as was his
custom After watching her a.few mo-
ments in silence he said, “Do you know
we have got one of the smartest and
brightest boys in the country, and 1 have
made up my mind that he shall never bo
ashamed of Ms father any more.” And
he kept his resolution.
“That one instance.’Voajd Mrs. Stan-
ford. “has repaid meforal) 1 have done.'
