Difficulty With Children.

DR. Curtis started his talk by stating
how difficult it was to keep the children
interested in the field sports. He said
that he realized the trouble the instruc-
tors experienced with the management
of tn children in making them take
care of their playthings. and also ap-
preciate the real benefit they derive
from the outdoor exercise.
He advised the instructors that the
best way they could prevail upon the
children to take good care Of the prop
erty was for the teachers TO make the
boys and girls understand that the
things with which they played We're
the same as their own, and by protect
ing the playground property that they
were protecting themselves. He men
toned that upon one occasion he was
being shown through one of the New
York playground cIubhOuses, and the
boys. in speaking of II and its property,
always used the word ''Our" club, etc
