No extended program is comptSts
that does not provide for the enter
tainment and instruction OF the chill
dren. With this idea 10 mind the
chautauQua management has orxan-
lied children's department under the
direction Of Miss Pearl Head. II in
planned that the children shall be giy-
en- something to do. something to think
about. and something to enjoy. with q
view always to character building.
They Will be formed into Seton Indian
tribes. and taking for their model the
}. Fennfmore Cooper Indian, they will
play Indian; will be trained in Indian
woodcraft: will study nature; will
listen to tales. stories and legends:
Will engage In athletic sports: in short
they Will think and play, will hold
communion with the birds and flowers,
and learn to have a greater respect
for "all things bright and beautiful,
all things great and small"
Ernest Thompson Seton. known no
we'll as the author OF wild Animals I
Have Known" first conceived the idea.
He noted that children generally love
to play Indian. and. believing with
Froebel that play may have a great
educational value. sought to take this
torrent Of ready-made energy and DE-
vert 1t into safe channels by holding
up to the children model OF all that
is safe and clean In the primitive life
that their imagination delights In.
Such a model is Hiawatha, who
Learned OF every bird its LANGUAGE
Learned their names and all their se-
crets.
How they built their nests In summer.
Where they hid themselves In winter.
Talked with them where'er he met
them.
Called them 'Hlawatha's Chickens"
The Indian costumes arc to be worn
by the children. Surely II will be q
time OF great pleasure and profit to all
who Join this organization.
