Lake the Children Along.

If more people knew the lifelong
benefits to their children of vacation
trips into the woods. they would never
hesitate moment, but consider the
children first and themselves after
ward. There are few things in this
life so downright pathetic as the com
mon sight of three, four and five year
old children being wheeled about in
little go-carts when they should be
toddling along on the feet Nature in
tended them to use. And yet, even
these hot-house youngsters would
soon be ruddy and healthy if their
parents Should live under canvas
during a part of the summer and let
the little folks paddle about in the
water, dig in the sand. and spoil their
clothes in learning the noble art OF
mud pie making.
In planning a vacation this summer
make a memorandum something like
this: Take the wife and youngsters
along or stay at home" And under
score youngsters" then stick to this
determination if you. have to kidnaI
the children. Tell the wife that she
can take along one change of gOot
clothes for each child-to wear on the
train-but otherwise bare feet anC
tanned faces are TO be the rule. Th'

prevent it from being tortured by in
sects. The relatively enormous in
crease in its appetite after it has been
in the woods few days is the best in
diCation of its health.
Thor" is an old belief that "A child's
second summer is its bad time" but
children that pass their second. or
even their first. summer under canvas
are likely to need no calls from the
medicine man. Simple food. warm but
loose clothing, and one or two homely
remedies in case of ordinary childish
disorders. are all that is necessary to
their perfect health and contentment
while in the woods. A pile of sand, a
spade and tin bucket will give any
yOungster under six years of age all
the amusement needed, and with
brook or pool to paddle in, it's happi-
ness is complete.-July Field and

performance was fully up to their eX
pectations, but went beyond the an.
spite the enviabIe regulations they
have achieved in this community
since taeir connection with the uni.
versity Mr. Lawrence first made a
few brief remarks on music in general.
touching upon the various classes OF
music and the art of listening He
then introduced the subject for the
mornings study. the works of Robert
Schuman. Mr.. Lawrence spoke of
the deep and almost endless study
which the works of this eminent com;
poser allowed and gave brief sketch
of nis life. followed by a recital from:
his works as follows:
Opus. 5. Opus ., the best Of the four
Night" pieces. Dreams" a duet.
Opus 81, a minor Concerto rendered
by Mr.. Lawrence on the piano and
Mr.. Raspar on the violin. This closed
the Schun1an programme. after which
Mr.. Kaspar gave a violin recital as
follows:
Romance" from Tauzer. a selection
frou, Dvorak. and the ofentanz
from Pepper.
: There was fairly good crowd in
attendance considering the rainy
weather. and it is certain that the next
recital which will be held on next
Tuesday morning will be much better
attended
Chopin and his works will be stud
led at the next recital, which will be
unusually interesting, Dir. Lawrence
being very successful in his interpre-
tation of Chopin.
It will be Of interest to violinists in
the city to learn that Mr.. Kaspar will
have several leisure hours while in
the city on Tuesdays and will take
one or two pupils for that time.
