Susan Blow was born on June 7, 1843, in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, the daughter of Henry Taylor Blow and of Minerva (Grimsley) Blow. Her childhood was passed in a cultivated home.
Susan Blow received her education from her parents, various governesses, private tutors, and schools. The deeply religious character of her early training quickened a serious and reverent attitude toward life which led her very early to consecrate herself to education.
After some acquaintance with the kindergarten methods of Germany, Miss Blow conceived the idea of opening a kindergarten in St. Louis. Dr. Harris received the suggestion with favor, and Miss Blow, in order to fit herself for this responsibility, went to New York to study for a year with Mme. Maria Kraus-Boelte, called the spiritual daughter of Froebel. Mme. Kraus-Boelte had established a class for mothers and kindergartners in that city in 1871. Miss Blow became the first kindergartner in America trained by Mme. Boelte and upon her return to St. Louis in 1873 opened the first public kindergarten in the Des Pères School in Carondelet, a suburb of St. Louis.
When Miss Blow began her teaching, no translation of Froebel's Mother Play had been made. Miss Blow assumed this task and translated these songs and plays from week to week for use in the kindergarten. The work was done, however, with an untroubled orthodoxy that did not take into account the theory of evolution which gave a new interpretation to the laws of growth and necessitated a revision of the plays and games of the kindergarten. When a more liberal group of students began such a revision in 1887, Miss Blow did not lend her support to the movement. The social significance of her work must not be underestimated, however, for her belief in the Gliedganzes or member-whole of Froebel's philosophy found expression in many pragmatic, correlated educational activities of social significance. She gave hearty support and direction to mothers' meetings, home visitation, school gardens, and nature study. The training which she offered was built upon a broad cultural background, awakening in her students an intellectual curiosity and a recognition of fundamental spiritual values which gave permanence and direction to the kindergarten as an educational institution.
Ill health forced her to retire from active work during a period of about ten years. In 1895 she began to lecture again in Boston, conducting study classes in the Bible, Homer, Dante, Goethe, and Shakespeare. The last years of her life were spent in New York, where she was connected with the graduate department of the New York Kindergarten Association. A list of her publications includes: Symbolic Education (1894); The Mottoes and Commentaries of Froebel's Mother Play (1895); The Songs and Music of Froebel's Mother Play (1895); Letters to a Mother on the Philosophy of Froebel (1899); Educational Issues in the Kindergarten (1908); Kindergarten Education (1900).
Susan Blow opened the United States' first successful public kindergarten at St. Louis' Des Peres School in 1873, and in 1874 opened a training school which played a significant part in the history of education in her time. Later she was instrumental in establishing kindergartens throughout America. Blow was recognized with a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame.
