speakers of other nations joined the English authorities in

The British and Foreign Society organised a complete exhibition
of Kindergarten work and materials, to which all the chief London

children, in order to show publicly the practical application of
Kindergarten methods. These lessons were given gratuitously in
the rooms devoted to the Kindergarten section of the exhibition.
