The lungs should swell UP high in the
chest as they are inflated. never downward

since this impedes the digestive processes.
Perhaps the Freest--
And most spontaneous exercise OF all the
MUSCLES of the body as well as of the
imagination and inventive faculties is OBJ
tanned through what the kindergartners
term the dramatic plays as distinguished
from the more formally organized dramatic
games.
In these the children act out some ex-
perience which calls for bodily activity, as,
for example. taking walk. They describe
what they see and make believe that they
are picking flowers. blowing dandelion
seeds, jumping rope. running races, gather
ing autumn leaves to build a bonfire,
reaching up to pick fruit in the orchard.
throwing clubs to knock down nuts in the
woods, making and throwing snowballs
blowing on their fingers and stamping their
feet to keep off the cold, or again sitting
down in shady spot to cool off from the
summer heat

ordinary ealisthenics The chids mind is
eager and active, and the bodily movement
becomes the spontaneous expression of his
thought. These plays are not suggested as
substitutes for out-of-door play, but only
to supplement- 1t when the child of neces-
sity is confined TO the house.
Another good game from the kindergar-
ten leads to accuracy and Discrimination
in the use of the senses. Several objects
are grouped on table; a child is blind
folded: one object is removed; the child
tells which is gone.
When a number of children are playing
together one of them may be sent from the
room and the bIindfolded child guesses
which playmate has gone For hearing
magic music" Is excellent, the child lis
tening for the increased volume Of music
to tell him when he is approaching the
hidden object. Or blindfolded child may
guess which of his playmates is singing OF
speaking to him. Or, having listened to a
series of different sounds. for example, the
ringing of bell, the tapping of a stick
the striking of note on the piano, the
clapptng of hands, he removes the bandage
from his eyes and himself repeats the
sounds In the order In which they occurred
All these plays may be used In the home

A reception given on the LIST OF May could
| have certain May day features. The pretty
New England custom of leaving on the
doorknobs little May baskets filled with
flowers suggests favors, small baskets at
the reception giving one to each guest
It would be pretty idea to get little
baskets and I'LL them with inexpensive fiow-
ers- Tying them with ribbons will not be
extravagant.
BY way of entertainment some May day
recitations could be recited to low music
Girls might be dressed as flowers to dis
pense the refreshments and the tables
could be profusely decorated with flowers

lures before the four places; clippings from
the papers and magazines. drawings or ar
ticles sewed on card, each picture rep
resenting the title OF some book. All the

each one provided with card with num-

After he has guessed the picture before

THE IRRIGATION OF SMALL
TRACTS.

Under the direction of Mr.. Elwood
Mead, the division of experiment sta
lions of the department of agriculture
has been investigating the irrigation
of small tracts If land in places where
only a limited quantity of water Is
available.
Particular attention has been given
to securing this water by the use of
Windmill pumps and also to impound-
ing storm waters on the plains far re-
moved from streams. The investiga-
ton covers a wide area extending from
northern Texas to the Canadian line;
and special attention will be given to
the eastern part of this state and to
the corresponding part of Wyoming,
A central experiment station has been
established near Cheyenne where diff,
ferent kinds of pumps have been
tested.
These Investigations are of far nor
Importance than, probably, many per-
sons may think. This grows out of the
fact hat only a small percentage OF
the land in the arid region is suscepti-
BILE of irrigation from streams n res
ervoirs. Avast area must remain arid
unless some means be found of uccess
full dry-farming or irrigation from wells
and storm water becomes practicable.
There is no question that a small
tract of four or five acres may be irri-
gated by water pumped from a we'll;
but to what extent such wells and
pumps can be duplicated within n Civ.
en- area is a problem yet to be solved
1t presents he possibility of reclaim
ing in the aggregate a large acreage
thus making farming in a small wa!
practicable in connection with stool
growing on the public domain.-Den
