William Nicholas Hailmann was an American progressive educator. He helped to introduce the kindergarten into the United States.
Background
William Nicholas Hailmann was born on October 20, 1836, at Glarus, Switzerland, the son of William Alexander and Babette Hailmann, a few months before the family removed to Islikon, where the father was employed as a designer of cotton-prints. Earlier generations of the family had contributed to the development of the textile industry in Alsace.
Education
Brought up as an only child in a rural environment by a mother who was an admirer of Pestalozzi, and receiving a goodly part of his school education from Pestalozzian teachers, Hailmann was himself largely a product of the new education which he later advocated.
At thirteen he was admitted to the polytechnic division of the cantonal college of Zürich, Pestalozzi’s native city.
Career
In 1852 William Nicholas Hailmann emigrated to Louisville, Kentucky, where he maintained himself, first, by teaching the modern languages, and later, by pursuing his major interest, the natural sciences, in the girls’ and also in the boys’ high school.
Revisiting Zürich in 1860, Hailmann became intensely interested in the kindergarten education exemplified there. On assuming the directorship of the German-American Academy in Louisville in 1865 he established a kindergarten in connection with the institution. Throughout the rest of his life, whatever his position might be, he, aided by his wife, was persistently active in the dissemination of Froebelian doctrines, in the establishment of kindergartens, in conducting training schools, and in promoting the application of kindergarten principles in the elementary school. In 1866 and again in 1872, he sent his wife to Switzerland to study kindergarten theory and practice.
From 1873 to 1883 Hailmann served as director of German-American academies in Milwaukee and Detroit. During this and the following decade he took an active part in the work of the National Education Association, mainly in the interest of the kindergarten movement. Upon the establishment of a kindergarten section in 1885, he was elected chairman.
After serving eleven years as superintendent of schools at La Porte, Indiana, 1883-1894, he was appointed federal superintendent of Indian schools. Kindergartens were established for Indian children and training schools for kindergarten teachers. Deprived of his position for political reasons against the protest of leading American educators and other prominent citizens, he was elected superintendent of the city schools of Dayton, Ohio, in 1898. From 1904 to 1914 he served on the faculties of the Chicago Normal School and the Cleveland Normal Training School.
His failing health requiring a change of climate, he accepted in 1914 a professorship in the Broadoaks Kindergarten Normal School at Pasadena, California, which position he retained until his death. In California Hailmann organized the Kindergarten-Primary Council of the West in furtherance of his plan of bridging the gap between the kindergarten and the elementary school.
Hailmann's writings include: Outlines of a System of Object-Teaching (1867), Kindergarten Culture in the Family and Kindergarten (1873); Twelve Lectures on the History of Pedagogy (1874); Letters to a Mother (1876).
