Soon a second pound of tea and

sugar, then a sack of candy and

tones, reached her a oven before

~ George W. Ehlers,


Supervisor Of Physical Culture in the
Cleveland Public Schools.
The trouble o is that school boys
and girls do not play properly. You
take the 15-minute recess period
twice a day. In most schools boys
and girls stand around the yard idly.
A few may play, but the most do not.
In the grades from the fifth to
the seventh are boys about 10, II. II
years old. 1t is the period just prior
to the two years during which they
grow the most rapidly.
At his period they need much ex-
ercise and the greatest care. 1t Is
the time, too, when the boys nature
leads him to co~ngregate with other
boys, to want to play team games.
In the first place, 1t should be as
certained hat the boy or girl is ply
sically nt-that is, must have q sound
heart and strong limbs.
Baseball, football and basket ball
should be encouraged. One of the
teachers could take charge Of the re-
cess period and turn the energies OF
the children in the right direction.
But best results are obtained after
school hours, when high school boys
are at leisure to act as teachers. Ask
these boys--boys who have the nat.
ural attributes of leaders-to go tc
the grammar schools in their vicinity
say at $3.50 p. M. several times q
week, and direct the grade school
boys games.
Then organize track teams, foot
and basket ball teams. etc. Have run.
ming races. broad and high jumps
putting the weights. etc.

handed the lad to his mother and
was off, only turning once at the
bend to see Charlie throwing kisses
after him with both hands.
The sorrel sheered q little at q
boulder, washed white by the rain,
and his master recalled his wander
ing thoughts. A woodpecker with a
red crest tapped a tree close by the
road side, a squirrel with a bushy
tail hoped along o limb holding a

above a meadow lark filled the air
with melody. Then came q break in

Close by the roadside tumbled

few acres cleared around 1t, and a
garden spot tucked in on one side,
while close by the door was a pile
OF dead bushes gathered from the
forest that almost cast its shadow
over the house. Mr. Bliss knew that
a poor widow lived there with one
child a boy of nine, and there sure
enough was the lad chopping I'D
fuel for the daily use. The good old
farmer thought of the happy life of
the boy he had left behind, free of
such arduous work this one must
need engage in. Why not make this
lad happy with a horse ride? Why
not, indeed!
No sooner thought than said.
"Hullo, there, my lad! : called the
old gentleman, ''how wound you like
