A Game That Is Good Training In the
Study of Geography.

There must be a leader, some one
who is pretty good in geography"
and is capable of doing some quick
thinking himself. Any number of
players may take part in the game.
When all are seated, the leader takes
his place in front Of them and tells
them that he is going to give them
the name of state and letter Of
the alphabet and is then going to
count five slowly.
While he is counting five all the
players must be trying to think of
city or town in the state he called
whose name begins with the given
letter. For example: Suppose he
gives Maine as the state and T as
the letter, then the players must all
try to think of city or town in
Maine the name of which begins
with the letter F. It is necessary
for them all to do the thinking, for
he has a right to ask any one Of
them for the answer, and they new
er know which one of them it is 60
ing to be.
When he has received correct
answer, he may ask another player
to name some other town beginning
with the same letter, or he may
change the letter two or three times.
Then he names some other state
and continues the game as long as
it interests the players.
If the game is played at home or
by a little company of boys and
girls, a prize should be offered for
the most correct answers. - New
York. Herald.
