Mexico play Grounds.

Among all civilized people the
country boy has proved to be the
nations most valuable asset. In Amer
lea he has loomed Into startling prom
inence. 1t is estimated that upwards
of 60 per cent OF the men and women
10 who's Who" are from the rural
districts. Splendid humanity has all
ways been one Of the staple products
of our farms,
Further" writes Myron II. Scud.
der, "a contented rural population Is
essential to the welfare Of nation.
A nation develops power In proportion
as It's people remain In contented
prosperity and in large numbers on
its farms.
Undermine the welfare Of the coun-
try districts, allow conditions Of rural
life to be such as to breed discontent,
to drive people away; destroy or even
seriously injure this great reservoir OF
manhood, character and patriotism
and you have a 8 cial condition far
more threatening than would be the
arrival OF hordes OF anarchists.
Unfortunately we are menaced by
the very things which we dread. Near
ly everywhere the rural districts are
being depleted of their population. In
this situation 1t is important that
everything be done to infuse new life,
enthusiasm into the country dis
tricts.
The life OF child rem In the country
Is often dull and hopeless. Nearly
everything conspires to drive them
cltyward. What can be done to make
their environment so attractive that
1t will hold them?
Now, while many elements enter in
to the problem of securing wider
and better rural life, the readers at
tention is invited to consideration Of
but one, namely, the cultivation Of
the athletic and play life OF country
young folks.
To most people the play Of children
may seem to consist chiefly OF certain
childish activities, whereby, for want
OF something better to do, health and
temporary pleasure are promoted
But this Is very superficial view Of
the case.
"Play is one Of the important con-
Germs of life, f" In the country as we'll
as In the city, and it must be borne In
mind that play In the country is not
so much to promote health as to de-
velop the higher social instincts.
Country children do not play
enough. Their repertoire OF games is
surprisingly small and inadequate,
except where special efforts have been
made to teach them. Moreover, their
few games are strongly individualistic,
training them for isolated effort rath.
er than cooperation.
The case OF the village boy Is par
ticularly bad, for, unlike the farm
child, he usually has comparatively
little work to do, and unless he has
opportunities outside Of school for
athletics and play, he is likely to pass
much of his time Ia inane idleness, II
not jn mischief, and life is likely to
lack motive and inspiration. Ii he is
ambitious he will want to get out OF
an environment that appeals so little
to the motive side OF his feeling.
Through consideration Of these facts
the play ground movement has been
introduced into the State Of Missouri
and In Mexico. The purpose is TO
foster all forms OF clean athletics
among the children and to teach them
indoor and outdoor games.
