| Summary, etc | Kindergarten Chats and other writings by Louis H. Sullivan George Wittenborn. Originally published in 1917. Editorial Note: The printing of the unpublished revision of Kindergarten Chats in this volume carries out at last Louis Sullivans wish that his work be issued in book form his Foreword., written in July 1918, is our authority.

From June to October 1918, Sullivan worked over the manuscript and produced the text which follows, and which therefore represents its definitive form.

The redundant or unprecise adjective was discarded the specific term was substituted for the more general or the vague one repetitive passages were deleted.
