Excerpt from A Suggestive State Course of Study for Kindergarten-Primary Grades, Vol. 1: Submitted at the Request of the County and City Superintendents of Schools by the California State Board of Education

The course of study herein presented is designed to bring the activities of the kindergarten into immediate connection with those of the early grades of the elementary schools, so that the processes of education may be carried on with a continuity as unbroken in the schools as are the processes of mental development in the mind of the child.

There are in nature no fixed lines of limitation in the mind or the body of a human being that separate the powers of one year from those of the year that follows. Courses of study providing for such arbitrary differences were fashioned more to suit academic theories than to meet the realities of mental growth. The error of the old system has long been known to the masters of educational problems, and is now recog nized by progressive minds in nearly all departments of education. This is true in an especial and distinguished sense in California and our state teachers colleges are taking a leading part in applying the new system, which after all is the only one that conforms to the nature of child growth and development.
