Mrs. M. M. Wright, librarian at McDonald College Library, gave Kruse’s records to the McGill Archives on May 3rd, 1979.
Fonds documents Kruse's work as a kindergarten instructor and as a teacher of kindergarten instructors. Teaching notes, model lessons, examination papers and lectures cover the years 1908-1932. Kruse also recorded minutes of staff meetings at the Macdonald Elementary School from 1901 to 1911. A few items of professional correspondence (1916) and some clippings on educational topics complete these papers.
