ENGINEERS BANQUET
w. A. Meldau Surprises His Fellow
Workers With a Banquet

About a jolly party of men as could
be found in a days march assembled
at the Louvre, Spring street, near Third,
Friday night, and for several hours par
ticipated in a delightful banquet. The
occasion was not one Of those formal
affairs where set speeches are in order
and economic questions are discussed
at length, but it was a simple surprise
given the local branch of the National
Association of Stationary engineers by
w. A. Meldau. Mr.. Meldau is the
night engineer at the National Ice
works and while he holds no office in the
association he takes such an interest in
it that he decided to celebrate the recent
boom in membership here and the mov-
ing of the Los Angeles branch into a new
hall by giving the members surprise
party.
A regular meeting of the association
was held Friday night, and none of the
members knew what was to follow. Al
the conclusion of the meeting President
III. I. Jones announced an adjournment
to the Louvre. Upon arriving there
the engineers found a table loaded witt
good things to eat and drink and were
told to get steam up. Then followed a
fine run until midnight. The affair wa:
entirely informal. Every man was
expected to make speech, and did so
The room was handsomely decorated
with palms, cut flowers and growing
nlants. The dealers in engineers sup
plies had placed handsome exhibits o
their goods in the room, and the place
looked like an engineers fair. Mr. Mel
dau was master of ceremonies, and In hi
efforts to make all of his guests feel per
fectly at home he succeeded admirably

Miss Amalie Eofer said FRIDAY, III
her second talk before the kindergarten
cluh. "There is a general sentiment that
the nature plays of the kindergarten are
| introduced for the purpose OF developing
the child's observation and qulckenlne
his senses. The normal child, however,
to my mind. is about as quick as any OF
us can expect him to be. He sees tnlfss
fast enough Of himself
The nature plays. as l understand
| Froebel are given for the purpose OF
| interpreting general laws which oper-
ate in the social order and in the uni
| verse We have a series of games in
which the children are led to play at
| being one with trees. flowers or other
animate things outside themselves, for
| a better purpose than that of merely
teaching the little fact that of the tree
the roots strike down and the branches
spread out.
Little children are in a world Of
things They are here to work in and
through raw material. Why is it that
we cannot set them to work sometimes :
lit is because of lack of fresh material.
We. the teachers. are appointed to feed
this demand of the children for fresh
materials. You cannot give a nature
play in a mechanical way and have the
children feel their way out of them
selves into nature.

woman who carries wear and care in
her face into the school room. and then
proceeds to tell nature story? IN
less we can bring a simply, natural,
general element to its approach. we are
not giving a nature lesson. The child
makes people of things. We make things
of people
"Th abnormal child is abnormal be-
cause he is only part of himself, and
that larger part may be the nature
part. In an institute of feeble minded
children the majority of cases are chill
dren who have been left motherless in
their baby days. 1t is given the mother
to instinctively widen the child horizon
and get him outside of himself In the
mother plays, which, by the way, are
often regarded as difficult and profound
of aim, the simplest means, the mos
', natural means are utilized for that very
purpose.
why do children dislike the home
where the mothers every eXertion is t
keep everything polished and scrubbed
even to nail heads? Because the mothe
lives only for things which are always
where she can classify them. She does
not understand this being, whicl
changes every three minutes.

I bodied in these nature plays a grea

Miss Hofer, who yesterday afternoon

of the busiest of Chicago's business
women. Miss Hofer's present trip has
for its object a survey of the field of Pa

come into closer touch with its profess

have the kindergartners of the country
brought into the closest possible har-
mony.
Miss Hofer's last lecture was on the
Industrial Plays of Froebel.'
These mother plays are the basis or
our songs and games as they are worked
out in the daily kindergarten program

of these tales in the trade and industrial
plays which he made for their substi-
tuition.

for the clarifying of the human power
which transcends traditions. The pro-
