covering part of the space for use in wet weather and movable wind breaks, either board or canvas which could be put up on the north and west sides in winter, would be advisable. With the assistance of these, the number of days in the year on which healthy children would not be much better off playing vigorously out of doors than cooped up in the house would be reduced to a very small minimum. Any physician of experience will cheer fully testify that children kept constantly in the open air extremely seldom catch cold. as compared with those overhoused and coddled. as fully half of them are at present. In fact. ''cold" is utterly mis- named, and is caused by foul air, instead of fresh.
 It is almost the unanimous opinion of all thoughtful teachers that indoor school hours ought to be and could be markedly reduced. The only thing that prevents it is the absolute inability of the vast ma jority of mothers (all in fact, who are unable to afford to employ nursemaide) to properly take care of. "amuse' and watch over their children during the working hours of the day. In fact. more than half the time spent in school by chill dren under 10 years of age is more for the purpose of keeping them off their moth CTS hands, or off the street. than for the actual necessities of instruction. The playground would completely re- lieve our schoolrooms of this nursery duty, and with it's powerful educational influence utilized as an ally it would not be too much to hope that school hours could be reduced to at least one-haIf, if not one-third of their present length That is to say, children need not enter the schoolroom at all before or years of age; from to 9. one to two hours A day would be sufficient; from g to F, two to three hours: from F to Is, three to four hours

original Jacobsen having made great fortune in beer.
 The last Jacobsen before the present one had son who was very wild h. stead of brewing barley the young man persisted in sowing oats of the kind call ed wIld. At last his father disinherited him. The two did not speak as they pass Cd by, and the young man and his fam fly were left to go their own way. One day a little son of the young man saw his grandfather on the street. He came up to him and said:
 You are my grandpa, aren't you?"
 That I ann" was the reply, and the old man took the baby to his heart. He accompanied him to his sons house. and there was a general reconciliation. Short zy after this he gave the son a quarter of million dollars to use as he pleased. The son thereupon resolved to turn over a new leaf. He founded an opposition brewery and soon, became as great as his sAxher. At the latter's death he succeed ed to the whole estate.
 The Jacobsens believe in America and American machinery. They import Amer scan hops and Indian corn for their brew cries, and they say our corn makes bet ter beer than Danish barley. One of the young Jacobsens has recently visited Milwaukee to learn how we make beer.
 Danish American Trade.
 I am told that many Danes are now sending their sons to our country to learn business methods. They consider us at the top in trading and manufacturing and they are beginning to pattern after ns in banking as we'll It is only year or 50 ago that three of the chief Danish bankers were sent to the United States so study it's financial methods.
 Our trade with Denmark is important. mat country has close connection with all parts of Europe, but nevertheless we stand fourth in our exports to it. We send about $20.000.000 worth of goods here every year. This is more than any other coun- try, with the exception of Germany. Great Britain, and Sweden and Norway.
 Indeed, Denmark is a better customer for us than Sweden or Norway It has nnIv about two and one-half millions or about one-third the population of Scandi- uavfa; nevertheless it takes more goods than all Scandinavia.

things. and 1t Is especially fond of Amer ican corn and American flour. The corn comes in for the stock and the flour Is made into bread for the people. At first the Danes imported the wheat and tried to grind it. They made fair -four, but not as good as that shipped in from America. Then they imported our miil- ing machinery and American millers to manage it. but for some reason or other the flour was a failure. and they had to give 1t up. It may be that the climate here Is not as suited to milling as that of Minneapolis

If Underwood were an American wouldn't the English call the appended story about him an instance of Yankee push?
 'Tt Is related of Mir. Underwood that, in calling with some pictures upon a London editor who bore the reputation of not being over-cordial to young artists. he brushed past the office boy. who tried Intellectually to block his way. enconsed himself comfortably in the editors pri- vate office and amused himself while waiting for that dignitary by placing his pictures conspicuously about-against the chairs, on the desk and even on the walls. When the editor returned MT. Underwood naiveIy explained that, as time was doubtless valuable to MT. -. he had arranged to submit his work without any unnecessary delay. The result might have been disastrous to some ispiring art ist who possessed less enthusiasm, but MT. Underwood received large order"

cH1LDRnH's PLAY
se AS AN EDUCATION.
 Sports That Train Brain and Muscle

.4 AS AN EDUCATION. Sports That Train Brain and Muscle
 atsOnce.
 From a paper by Woods Hutchinson in
 the Contemporary Review.
 The joy of the child's heart is to minnie the pursuits of his parentshnd ancestors, Formal education Is but feeble fmita- tion often counterfeit, of natures great school of play. When the. child plays it Is not merely relaxing itself. getting an appetite, getting health; 1t is literally building and organizing its body-nays it's brain and mind
 Athletics, in spite of their more than occasional excesses. thoroughly deserve the high place they have won in college training; they are a valuable part of edu- cation in the widest sense. Our instincts here. as elsewhere, may carry us to ex- treues. but they are sound at bottom.
 Just to get the problem into debatable form would submit few practical sug- gestions: First, that every school house should be provided with a playground. containing at least ten equare yards for each pupil. This would make. roughly. for every forty children a city lot (3o by 12o), for 400 children half block. For every pound spent on the building 10 shil- lings ought to be spent on the playground. and I can hardly conceive of a better in- vestment for the community. Personal ly, if had to take my choice in one of our large cities between a school without a playground and a playground without a school. would choose the playground.
 All these places should be real play grounds, not ornamental lawns and minia- ture parks. love flowers, but when see them usurping space that belongs to children, and driving the latter out into the streets, or. worse still, into the hall ways and basements to play. would preach a crusade of extermination at once.
 Second. let there be organized as an auxiliary department of the kindergarten and primary grades class of piaymis- tresses and playmasters. who shall be so that each will have charge of from twenty to forty children. Then for each division of the district let playgrounds be pro- vided, or in geographically small, dense- ly populated district one for each age- group of the children. These grounds may be purchased wherever the district can afford it, but in the vast majority of towns there are abundant vacant lots, blocks and areas which could be leased. or. if need be, the use of them confiscated by the city. These could be leveled or rather roughed down, cleared of rubbish. weeds and garbage, parts of them sanded or graveled for use in wet weather, and then they would be ready for the chill dren. In short. raise children on the va- cant lots, instead of potatoes. as under Mayor Pingree's admirable plan in De- troit
 The equipment of these grounds should be of the simplest. A rough shed-roof

xcepyrieht, 1908, by Frank c. carpenter9 x Copenhagen. Denmark.
 The capital of Denmark Is one of the xfvelieot cities of northern Europe. It Aae about 500,0Oo people, the most of whom are as well dressed as any you VIII nnd on the continent. It has some magnificent buildings and the cleanest streets outside of Holland. Every man here has to see that the street and pave menf in front of his house Is kept clean. The asphalt is brushed several times every day. and regiment of able-bodied paupers is always at work on the squares. These men wear black clothes and wood en ehoes Each carries a watering can and a huge broom and works away like sa Dutch housewife.
 Business Denmark.
 z Copenhagen is good business city. It hns fine stores, most of them so high above tho streets that you have to go to the second story to get in. It has great Warehouses and several large factories. yf s noted for it's breweries, especially fhoee owned by the Jacobsens.

 The Danes have also cooperative bacon associations. The men who raise hogs combine together eto sell their product They have their own ways of feeding and their pork brings 8 higher price than ours in the markets of Europe. The best hogs are produced by feeding them Amer ican corn until about three weeks be- fore killing. During these three weeks they are fed on barley, skimnnilk and buttermilk. Last year Denmark exported horses. cattle and pork to the value of $25, 900 900. and butter to the amount of $35, 5,0O0000. so you see she does a big ag- ricultural business.
 What We Sell the Danes.
 Our Consul here speaks highly of the Danes as customers. He says they know a good thing when they see it. and have the money to pay for it, He says the de- mand for American shoes is increasing and goes on as follows:
 Danish business men write their let ters on American typewriters. They count their money on American cash registers: they like the American bicycle and are now buying American automobiles. In short, American goods of every descrip- ton, if reliable and up to date, will find a ready sale here"
 The Best Educated People of Europe.
 Copenhagen is noted for it's educational institutions, art galleries and museums. The Danes are about the best educated people of Europe. They have had com pulsory system of education since lSi4, and one rarely finds a man or woman who cannot read and write. There are public schools and all sorts of technical schools everywhere. There are schools for dairymen. schools for farAers for beer makers and for everything under the sun.
 The Thorwaldsen Museum is one of the finest in Europe and singularly enough 1t is devoted to the works of one sculptor Thorwaldsen was educated at the Acad emy of Copenhagen and later on in Rome. He soon developed into a great sculptor, and as such did more work perhaps than scum there are eighty statues, 13O busts. three large friezes and 240 reiefs in mar ble. His works are of wonderful beauty, and they are famous all the world over. Amonng the objects is a model of the Swiss lion, which he carved out of the rock at Lucerne in memory of the Swiss guards defense of the Tuileries.
 Another great man of Copenhagen was Hans Christian Andersen, the writer of the fairy stories. There is a monument to him here in the heart of the city, on one side of the pedestal of which is en- Eraved a picture from the Ugly Duck ling" and on another side a little child riding on the back of a stork.
 Andersen was horn in the little Danish town of Odense. His father was a shoe maker, and his mother wanted to make

whieh they buy their machinery and sell their products and also borrow such money as they need There is one sucb association which ships nearly all inc butter made in Denmark to London. Indeen, Denmark is the dairy farm of London. and nearly all of its dairy work Is by cooperation. The first co-operativ dairy was begun in 1882. There are now more than thousand such dairies, which use annually almost four billion pounds or milk and make more than $35 5OO0.OO0 worth Of butter. These dairfes were erected and put into operation at a cost of about N,000, 900, the cost of each dairy varying from $20oo to $i90oO. The stock holders are farmers. and they number aoout lSO'OO0. In such dairies 130 OO0, 600 pounds of butter are made annually. Denmark's Butter Trust. This combination might be called but ter trust. It is so, but the farmers are the stockholders and the money goes back to the people. Years ago they made their butter as we do, and the Danish butter commanded the lowest prices. Then these cooperative dairies were started on borrowed capital guaranteed by the farmers. Every man agreed to turn In all his milk to the company, and to Iet 1t handle the product. The result was that better butter was made and shipped ~ ASh6AoAu anu CAS6WneTe. II at once DN- gan to make reputation. It improved and no" 1t is the best butter in the mar ket.
 The companies buy feed in quantities and sell 1t out. at reduced rates to their members, taking their pay out of the milk receipts. Machinery is bought fin the same way. and the associations work generally for the good of their stock holders. Settlements are made weekly or monthly, the cooperative society holding back certain amount of its receipts for sinking fund to pay off its debts. It also puts part of it's surplus into a say- ings bank and loans 1t out to the mem- bers of the association at low rates of interest. Each man can borrow in pro- portion to the quantity of milk he sup- plies to the association.
