PLAY and Education.

'In Germany a large number OF
games have been put in the school
course as part Of the school system.
In England football and cricket have
been made part of the school course
at Elton, Rugby and many of the other
public and preparatory schools for
many years.
'In the private schools of this coun-
Try, such as Lawrenceville, Croton and
st. Pauls, play is also provided for
in the curriculum. hope that soon
all Of our schools viii provide the time
and place for the recreation as well
as study of the children.
play is almost the only method of
physical development for our child
rem, and we must provide facilities
for 1t If we would have the children
strong and law-abiding. If we don't
allow the children to work we must
provide some other place than the
streets for their leisure time.
Keep Them Out of Streets
IF we are to require the parents to
rear the children for the service Of
the state, the state should make the
education as pleasant as possible.
"City streets are unsatisfactory
Fairgrounds for children because of
the danger, because most good games
are against the law, because they are
hot in summer, because in the crow
ded sections Of the city there are apt
to be schools of crime.
children who would paly vigorous
games have places set aside for them,
and since play is the fundamental
need Fairgrounds should be provid-
ed for every child as much as schools
This means that they must be dis
tributed over the city in such a way
as to be within walking distance of
every boy and girl, as most children
cannot afford to pay street car fare
Supervise Fairgrounds.
even these facts cited should Sc
cure available space at once, so that
they may not need to demolish build
ings to make Fairgrounds as New
York has had to do at cost of near
~ $1,OO0,0OO per acre.
Neither must any city believe that
simply to furnish open spaces will
secure the best results
There must be supervision of these
Fairgrounds, otherwise the older and
stronger children occupy them to the
exclusion of the younger and weaker
ones; they are apt to get into tho pos
session of gangs; the exercise anc
play is less systematic and vig'r ou'
when without supervision: and more
over in all : les where t.m expert
ment has been tried it has been fount
that such Fairgrounds are not wei
attended"

WHAT sclATIcA Is.

Sciatica often called sciatic rheu-
matism, is in nearly every case the re-
suit of pressure on the sciatic nerve,
or on one of the nerve strands that
leave the lower part Of the spine to
form the great seiatic nerve. This
causes congestion of the sheath sur
rounding the nerve, resulting in severe
pain and muscular contraction with
apparent shortening Of the affected
limb in severe cases. Curing the trou-
BILE therefore depends upon locating
and removing the pressure from the
nerve or nerve strands; and such pro-
cedure is to the skilled osteopath q
comparatively simple matter and Is
accomplished by means Of suitable
manipulations and adjustment Of the
defective parts, osteopathy has made
a good record in the treatment Of thiI
stubborn disorders.

THE SEATING OF REED sMooT

After four years of pickering and
debate in the senate, after hours OF
wasted energy on the part o. those
who have sought to GUST Senator
Smoot from his seat in the senate OF
the United States, the question has
come to q vote and the Utah senator
will remain In the senate and continue
to draw his salary till the end of his
term. This is in keeping with the con-
clusion of many who have followed the
progress of the Smoot case months
ago. It was not shown In the investi-
cation of the Smoot case that he was
q polygamist or that he had encour-
aged or abetted the practice OF poly
gamy. This being true the question
settled down to consideration of the
fact whether Smoot as a member OF
the Mormon church and bound by its
oaths and obligations was or was not
eligible to seat in the United States
senate.
The answer to the question made In
the senate yesterday is that he is
eligible. and the decision will meet
the approval of a great number of
people who have come to believe that
the smoot case In its inception and
progress was largely a matter of po-
\ litical buncombe II anything has been
gained in the four yeas OF turmoil to-
ward the settlement OF any mooted
question It is not manifested in the

Smoot, where 1t Is alleged there is toe

cations that this may be true, but the
issues raised by the direct attack on
Senator Smoot have been lost. He
will retain his seat In the senate and

yicted as dangerous hierarchy

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 21.-
President Roosevelt in a letter address
sed to John NJ. Randolph, president of
the Washington Play Grounds assoc
citation, strongly commends the re-
newed interest in play and playgrouns

He advocated municipal provision
for Fairgrounds "for every child as
much as schools these to be within
easy walking distance of every boyand
girl, and to be properly supervised by
the cities.
He urged the citizens to secure the
available grounds at once in order to
avoid the necessity of later demolish-
ing blocks of buildings to secure such
space, and he particularly commended
the plan of playground in this city as
tending toward making the nation
better

ing Fairgrounds for the national capt.

Jerome On Horse Racing.

Attorney Jerome yesterday afternoon
hurled a few bombs al what he termed
gentlemen sports fiayed Legislators
for persistent violation of their oaths
of office, and declared that aroused
public sentiment would drive the leg
islature to take favorable action on his
bills which are framed to stop letting
at race tracks.
He was practically assured that the
clergy of the State would stand solidly
back of him in the campaign, and
would, if he deem ed it wise, send rep
resentatiyes from 600 churches 10 AL
bany 10 urge the passage OF the bills.
Mr.. Jerome was invited to speak on
racing and race track betting TO COM
mittee representing the American Fed
Grafton Of churches, ana he met the
delegation in the Bible House late in
the afternoon.
"This talk about racing being gen.
tleman's sport, he said, sis all poppy

the rest Of these gentlemen sports, vino

this. In Chicago at the opening OF a
track a few years back the attendance
one day was something like $1,000.
Then betting was shut off, and the
paid admission fell to 800. This proves
that it is not mere love of horse racing
that attracts people to the tracks.
