But the vacation school is not entirely

School gardens, which frequently are a

OF the vacation school curriculum.
INTRODUCED TO THE FINE ARTS
The child is also introduced to the
fine arts by means of stories, loan ex-
hibitlons OF pictures and concerts. In
deed, the school buildings in some Of
the more advanced cities are made a
recreation centre for parents as well as
children, and lectures dramatic enter
tainments, recitals and band concerts
are given at frequent intervals. Numer-
Gus excursions are taken during The

ly is also impressed, and lessons OF
personal cleanliness are carefully in

TOO BUSY TO BE NAUGHTY

To the Educational Committee OF
Cambridge, Mass. back in 1872 is due
the first suggestion of the vacation
school, which has been such 5eneficent
influence during the last quarter OF
century; but IL was Boston, in 1885, that
first put it into actual practice. The
wisdom of such a movement was at
once appreciated, and all over the land
the idea was adopted, until today In
many cities the three. months vacation
school Is considered to have as great an
educational value the regular school
sessions from September to June.
As stated in a recent article, the play
ground is absolutely distinct from the
vacation school. Important sociological
~ as Is the former, II alone would not
give the healthful, instructive occupa-
ton TO older children which Is crying
need in their lives.
Play for the tiny tot is all that can
be desired. but the boy or girl Of IL or
Y asks for something more than just to
be amused. Their lively brains and rest
less bodies alike demand action, and
unless some means is supplied to graft
fy this need, the results are apt to be
pitiful filling Of the Juvenile Courts.
Just here the vacation school steps in
and says TO the child: Let there be no
misunderstanding, unoccupied time
We will keep you so busy and happy
during the longest, hottest summer that
you will forget to be naughty. Come TO
US and we will make study so fascinat-
ing that you will think Il the most de-
lightful play"
The children take them at their word,
so much so that to miss a day at vaca-
ton school is a positive grief, and the
attendance keeps up TO the last to q
surprising extent.
And no wonder. No wearisome Grad
grind methods or intellectual hot beds
here. The pupils, unaided by text
books, have their eyes trained to keen
observation and their hands 10 useful

Though the methods vary some

vacation schools Is the same-to
teach resourcefulness. The children
