Dean McClintock OF Chicago univer-
sity says the value of play Is not well
understood. and that it Is natures
best method OF education" Play is
undoubtedly natures best restorer,
Next to sleep 1t is an essential. We
all know the truth OF the adage that
all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy. And in t4Iis country we have
a lot of dull boys, both young and old.
not so much because they do not know
how to play as how to work. The av-
erage American business man takes
his task too seriously. In the desire
to get rich he forgets how to live.
There is too much friction and too
much waste Of vital forces. Many of
our business men do things in slap
dash sort of way. They jump without
pause for breathing from one thing to
another. They work at high tension
and worry at high tension. They
waste nervous energy. Their minds
are in a ferment They are feverish.
There Is a get-there-E Eli glare in their
eyes. They calculate. They gesticu-
lat They all but foam at the mouth.
Luncheon is no let up. They gulp their
victuals as If they were in competition
Play? The proposition would be
thought crazy one. There is no time
TO play in business hours and when
business is over there are too many
other demands. If these men only
knew it, they could do better work and
more of 1t by lowering the tension. A
little relaxation would help amazing
ly. And a play spell at home after
business hours would renew and vital
lie the worn nerve strings. However
it is easy to advise. The fever of high
strung endeavor Is in the American
blood. Warnings against useless ex
penditure of effort go largely unheeded

DR.. Woodrow Wilson, head Of
Princeton University, in a recent ad-
dress advised young men to interest
themselves more in public affairs, on
the ground of duty, If no other. Their
education, he held, carries with it a
responsibility which the public has a
right to demand the young men shall
share with others who have not been
30 fortunate in their mental training
The point is good one, and young

IMMIGRATION
 LAWS INADEQUATE Salvation Army Has Taken UD
 the Work MIR. BOOTH TUCKER TALKS Says England Is Becoming Over crowded and Something Must Be Done to Save the Health
 of the Race.
MIR. BOOTH TUCKER TALKS

Cleveland, o. April 1f.-Before leaving for the east today. Commander Booth Tucker, who. in company with H. Rider Haggard the author, is making an in- spection trip of the. social work done by the Salvation Army in several parts 0, the United States, outlined the plan of the Salvation Army to relieve con gestion in population in London by send ing the people to Canada and other Eng lisk colonies. Commander Booth Tucker said:
 Last year the Salvation Army carried 10Oc persons from England to Canada. hich is starving for population. We carried them in our own ships It will not be long before we will be carrying Epglishmen not by thousands, but by tens of thousands not only to Canada, but to New Zealand, Australia, India and South Africa
 We do not dump our immigrants in Ellis island, but dropped six here and eight there, and dozen in another place, wherever they were needed. Every man who left England for Canada knew be- fore he started where he was going, what he was going to do when he got there and what wages he would receive.
 "The United States should revise it's immigration laws. Through its consuls and other representatives, immigrants should be investigated before they start, and not after they have landed at New York. Then you could get the cream of Europe, the yeomanry, the healthy, sturdy stock, and not the scum, the ne CT dc wells. The Salvation Army would like tp cooperate with the United States in a work of this kind. Then colonization could be made the handmaid of immi- grafton.
 Tn England the people are crowding into London and the other large cities. The farm hand Is now a cockney The effect of this erowding was apparent at the time of the Boer war. The English man has lost his health, his buoyancy and his grit He is not the man he was England has to draw on her colonies for good fighting material The London po- lice force. the finest body of men physi- cally in the world, is recruited from the faims. Healthy men are at a premium By and by there will be no fighting mer left if something is not done. The only way to rejuyenate them race is to divert immigration away from the cities ant toward the colonies. to the the sick mer of today to the colonies and make farm CTS of them"
