"The Playground Must Co..

Is. A. Merritt, Principal Helena High School. J
Some time ago we saw an article in
the Northwest Journal of Education by
Mr.. W. Fl. Heiney of Tacoma, on the
subject, 1.-THE Playground Must Co."
We are heartily in accord with Mr..
Heiney's judgment of the influence of
the playground, and with him we believe
it ought to be abolished, as indeed, it
has been IN Eastern cities generally, and
in nearly all the Western cities OF any
proportions.
This question of abolishing the time
honored institution of recess and play
ground, some years ago, much occupied
the attention of school authorities
throughout the land The conclusion
then reached in nearly all cities of any
pretentions has not, generally, been re-
versed.
In cities where the recess, as such,
has been done away, the session hours
are, generally, from 9 to IL 80 a. m. and
l 80 to $3.50 P. M, except in many city
high schools that have but one session
q day. This shortening of the school
hours has generally proven satisfactory,
and let us add it is entirely consonant
with President EJiot's shortening and
Enriching the School Curriculum" as
indeed the progress Of the schools and
the efficiency of instructors is not to be
determined by the sunrise o-sunset-
twenty dollar a. month-standard.
After an experience of some years with
recess and also the no recess plan, per-
NIT us to summarize the arguments for
no recesses:
First-It promotes health.
It gives more time for rest and exer-
else out of school.
In inclement weather, pupils remain
dry and warm, instead of rushing ill-clad
and very often in the case of girls, hat
less and cloakless into the open air and
then, after violent exercise, going back
to rooms whose temperature has been
reduced for purposes of ventilation.
The danger Of bodily injury from
rough play is removed.
Second-There is gain In working
time more than sufficient to make up the
time taken by shortened session hours
No time is required in preparation fol

The Hop Louise Pest.
Ledger.

AIeQger.
The hop growers of the valley are
more than ever alarmed for the safety
of their crops. The hop louise. from
which Mr.. Meeker has all along assured
them there is no real danger, has been
multiplying and replenishlng the vines
of the outside rows with enormous rapid
ity during the last day or two, and while
no great damage has yet been done, 1t
seems likely to begin at no very distant
day.
The old adage, an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure, may be wisely
applied at this time. It may be that
this pest has always been with us, and
that it never yet has done much damage.
So has the grasshopper always been with
the eastern farmer. 1t is only once in a
great number of years that it gets numer-
GUS enough to be destructive, but when
they come in myriads it is almost i'm
nossible to combat them successfully.
This may be one of the years when the
hop louise comes in sufficient numbers to
be destructive. Anyway, it is wise to

begin the war with him before the rein
forcements which are now threatened
arrive. Happily there seems to be more
than one way Of making a successful
war against the pest, and it ought to be
begun in all ways and urged as vigor-
ously as possible to the end. The state
cannot afford to lose its hop crop this
year, and no risk should be taken that
can be avoided.
A danger of this kind makes us ap-
preciate the value that the experiment
station, which we are some time to have
on this side the mountains as a branch
of the agricultural college, will be to us,
and would be now if it had not been
managed by lot of politicians. The
business Of this station, or a part of it
at least, will be to find ways Of dealing
successfully with pests of this kind. If
we had it started now it would no doubt
be worth good many thousand dollars
this season.

tothe recess, and where there is a ehort,
ened intermission within rooms, as in the
case of lower grades, only just the time
of intermission is taken up.
No time in settling down after recess
and this usually means more time than
is actually occupied by the recess hour
wherever the recess is still observed in
its primitive form. Mental and physical
work In a measure are antagonistlc to
each other. Both, of course, are nee
essary, but they should not be alterna-
ted too frequently. When we have
been fortunate enough to induce the cir
culation to move freely toward the head
rather than to the extremeties, there
should not be too frequent Interruptions,
and there should be period of rest be-
tween either physical exercise and eat
ing. We know there are some who con-
slider it dangerous to have the blood
flow to the head very much and general
ly they are the ones who have the least
to fear in that direction.
Third-The no recess plan aids in dis
cipline.
Teachers all agree that more than half
of the cases of discipline arise in connec-
ton with recesses.
The reduction in the number OF cases
of discipline enables the teacher to de-
vote SO much more time to the work of
instruction, and that which is likely to
be more elevatlng to both pupil and
teacher.
The opportunities for petty tyranny
SO often INDUCED in by both boys and
girls on the playground is removed.
The chance for evil communication
in the public school is reduced to min
imum. No parent can think of the con-
Examinations and corruptlons of the play
ground without serious concern, which
in many cases amounts to a withdrawal
Of their children from the schools.
Family convenience is also greatly
served by allowing more time outside of
school hours.
The earlier hour OF closing leaves good
daylight for school work, and during a
part Of the year this is no slight consid-
Grafton.
Habits of study are promoted by con-
tinuous work while about the school.
By all these considerations we should
find that much of the opposition to the
schools would be removed, and many
parents would send their children to our
public schools who now educate them in
private and other schools.

Special Correspondence to HERALD.
WASHINGTON, June -, 1891.-The
president has expressed himself as being
greatly pleased with the work of the
Ohio state convention, both as to the
platform adopted and the candidates
nominated, and he believes that the re-
publicans will carry the state by one Of
those old-time republican Ohio MAORI
ties which used to set the pace for the
party in other states.
President and Mrs. Harrison, accom-
panied by their grandchildren, left yes
terday for their Cape May Point cottage,
where Mrs. Harrison and the children
expect to remain for sometime. Mr..
Harrison will not remain with them, but
he expects to spend part of every week
with them during the warm weather.
Secretary Foster was very anxious to
- have attended the Ohio convention, and
had fully intended doing SO. but at the
last minute he found that important
public business made it necessary that
he should remain here, so he did not get
off to Ohio until yesterday morning.
He said before leaving that he was just
as well satisfied with what the conven-
ton did as he would have been if he had
taken part therein as a delegate.
Secretary Noble, much improved in
appearance, and he says also in feeling,
is back at his desk as hard at work as if
he had just entered the cabinet. He has
not now, nor has he ever had, the slight
est intention of resigninR but he feels
under obligations to the newspapers for
having picked out so many nice places
for him, and he regrets that all of them
were made contingent upon his leaving
the cabinet.
Mr.. 81. j. Schulties, of the District OF
Columbia, has been appointed an ad
ditional member of the commission which
is to go to Europe to investigate immi-
grafton. He was appointed as the rep
resentative OF the Federation of Labor.
Gen. Grosvenor, who resigned his place
on the immigration commission by tele-
graph this week, has been appointed
special commissioner for duty in connec-
ton with the admission of foreign goods
to the worlds fair. Whatever his fault,
his resignation was manly document.

upon me by certain OF the press on mis-
representation viii impair, if not destroy

entertain the National Encampment G.
A. R., which is to be invited to hold its
1892 meeting in this city. There is
little doubt that all the money necessary
can easily be raised, and if the veterans
will accept the invitation to come here
next year they will be given reception
they will never forget, besides being
given an opportunity to inspect what is
now conceded to be the most beautiful
city in the world.
There is reason to believe that the

to the subject of coaling stations for our
navy in the West Indies. Secretary
Tracy says we must have one, and that
we ought to have at least two in those
waters, where England has four. An
important conference on this subject
took place at the White House this week,
which was attended by the president,
Secretary Tracy, Hon. John W. Foster,
representing the department of state,
and Rear Admiral Gherardi, who has had
charge Of the negotiations for obtaining
Mole Saint Nicholas from Hayti SANTANA
Bay. We can get from San Domingo
whenever we say the word, and although
the negotiations are now in a state of
suspension it is believed by those who
ought to know that we shall ultimately
secure Mole Saint Nicholas also.
The National Democrat, which was
started here year or two ago with a
great flourish of trumpets, is said to be
in serious financial difficulties, and its
editor and publisher, thing that bears
the shape of man but who never knew
what it was to experience a real manly
feeling, has been retired. If the paper
isn't sold it will probably suspend soon.
