Lack of Instructor Felt.

The fact that instructor has not been
provided has impaired the free use of the
playground, although it is a success and
many children use 1t regularly. Some of
them. of course. do not need the leader
ship and direction l have spoken of. But
most of them do. We have considered
seriously the matter of advertising for
suitable person, but we hesitated fearing
that many not suited to the work would
apply.
I'VE have found that children come to
the playground from all parts of the city.
1t was intended principally for the boys and
girls in the Third and Fourth wards, who
live in tenements, over store buildings etc,
who have no yards to play In. But we took
the names of children who came from as
far away as Fort Omaha and from the ex-
treme south end of town"
Child students will find a fruitful field at
the playground. man who was raised in
the country and spent his boyhOod in lit
tie town cannot understand the inability of
a child TO amuse himself in active games
Perhaps the resources of a country child
in this respect at least are better developed
because of the conditions that exist. There
is little or nothing to amuse except what
one creates Then there is swimming, skat-
ing, fishing and hunting, all requiring a
fair degree of individuality, thought and
courage. But in the city there are a hun
dred sights and scenes to engage the at
tention of the most unimaginative urchin
His powers of sight and hearing and his
mental Impressions are developed, but he
feels less need of bodily activity. The re-
suit is he gets to be like spectator at a
play, letting someone else do his acting
vicariously. This is the way some OF the
observers have thought the thing out.
But from Mr.. Heller's statement there is
no doubt but that something is wrong and
that the need of a remedy exists.

Before the deughttul events OF TINS summer
have become mere memories there is TO be
one more important event at least the
dancing party given by Mr.. and Mrs. ]. II.
Butler at the Country club. Wednesday
evening. IN honor Of Miss warield who Is
Miss Natalie Merriams guest.
The much talked OF middle west tennis
tournament opened Monday OF this week.
The visiting players. many we'll known,
having played here last year, we're greeted
with cordiality and enthusiasm. They have
been quite extensively entertained. adding
much to local gaiety and dispelling the
dormant attitude which has predomlnated
society for the past two weeks. What is
tournament in reality? An authority on
such subjects recently said that the term
is quite frequently misapplied. Every time
few people get together for an Informal
contest. It Is called a tournament. Now. in
reality, a tournament is the most formal
sort Of competitive affair and presupposes
many entries and different games, and
gradual narrowing down of the contestants
20 a few victors who are priviledged to
enter the final combat. Three people are
sometimes known to be a crowd, but they
can't form a tournament.
Omaha is great on fads If It isn't six
handed euchre, bridge whist or yachting, 1t
is horseback riding swimming or some
other like diversion which is carried from
morning to afternoon, afternoon to evening.
There seems to be no limit. Just at pres
ent the automobile craze is in vogue. The
stores declare that they can hardly keep
up with the demand for automobile dress
ing for women. Whether such dressing is
becoming or not is no longer regarded as
important; It is the thing. and that is all
there is to II. Consequence Every other
woman is buying goggles. caps, wells, King
Arthur gloves and roomy saffron wraps. II
is even whispered that some OF the shop
pers have never been closer to an automo-
bile than the toot OF the honk horn took
them. But that is of little Importance.
They are keeping up with the fad. Concern
ing bridge whist. II seems to be a question
whether its popularity is to reign as the
favored game this winter. There is no
doubt but It will be hard to find a salts
flying substitute as the game has become
strongly entrenched in the affections of
womankind as a simple and most enjoyable
mode of entertaining. SO from present
prospects 1t is quite safe to predict that
this winter will find bridge still reigning
unchecked and unhampered.
The dinner list at the Country club last
evening was not particularly large, but it

Some Surprising and Inter

Have modern. clty-bred children lost the
power to amuse themselves with athletic
| games7
Are they powerless 10 do anything but
| stand and look on unless they have a leader
! to direct them7
! Is this the result OF environment or is It
| because children are now so precocious that
! the simple pastimes Of their fathers are

! II IL is a fact that Omaha children lack

director to be obtained at a moderate sal

These are questions that Frank Heller
| chairman of the public Fairgrounds com
mittee would like to have answered def
nitely. His own experience with te grounds
| established this summer at Twentieth and
| Harvey streets has given him a decided
| opinion upon the first two questions. I'm
willingly he replies to them in the affirma-
| tive. He says that the majority of the
youngsters who use the playground need
leader or they stand in groups and lines
| with open mouths and vacant eyes, watch
| ing the children who have taken possession
OF the swings or the revolving teeter-totter.
| He has tried to reason out this impression,
