l shall speak, in the next place,
concerning ''purposeful playing"
The Playground Association of
America is organized for the purpose
of securing for all children their

ural conditions ana elevating leader
ship. Its scope Us as broad as the
impulse for play is universal.
Deprived Of the opportunity to play
even though surrounded with luxury,
q child becomes abnormal-often
times physically or mentally deficient,
and still morally deficient.
Fairgrounds in towns and cities not
only afford amusement and benefit
to children, but also become social
centers where entire families receive
benefit and pleasure.
Joseph Lee stated a great truth
! when he said that ''the thing that
most needs to be understood about
play is that it is not q luxury but q
necessity. 1t is not simply some
thing that q child likes to have; it is
something that he must have if he is
ever to grow up. 1t is more than an
essential part of his education; it is
an essential part of the law of his
growth, Of the process by which he
beco mes q man at all. ""The universal
impulse to play" says another we'll
known philauthropist, lis a divinely
ordered thing. If God gives instinct,
man ought to provide the play
ground"
So much emphasis has. been placed
upon the necessity and value of play
grounds in crowded city conditions,
that the rural significance and appli-
cation of the movement for play and
Fairgrounds may scarcely have found
lodgment in the minds of most of US.
Yet just as we have found out that
city Fairgrounds are for more than

have their direct bearing on educa-
tional problems, Juvenile delinquency,
health, and assimilation Of INNER

of the movement for organized play

KILL THE PROFESSORS.
Harvard Teacher Says There Are En-
tfrely Too Many of Them.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-In an address to
the Germanistic society of Chicago in
Fullerton hall last night Prof. Hugo
Muensterberg of Harvard university
declared that American universities
would be better off If two-thirds of the
professors were killed. He said:
There seems to be something weak
and mollycoddle about our whole acad-
emic system. In our highest institutions
of learning we find, with few notable
exceptions only second class men. And
we may be sure that second class school
masters never will build up first class
scholarships.
AN increase in the salaries of the
assistant professors and instructors in
our colleges and universities by a few
hundred dollars a year will never ac-
comp1ish anything What is needed is
great premiums at the top.
'One of the greatest evils from which
our American universities suffer Is too
great an abundances of men AS soon
as an institution gets some money the
first thought is to add more men to
the faculty, TO Guido some neighboring
institution. Every one Of our American
universities would be nearer to the
ideal If 1t would kill two-thirds of its
instructors and professors"

THAT ..TERRIBLE, ACCIDENT
Story Printed in Kansas City About a
Mythical Wakarusa Woman.

A tragic story about a Wakarusa wo-
man who doesn't exist appeared in last
evenings Kansas City Star. The fol-
lowing from the Kansas City Journal
this morning explains it: -
"Leaped for Her Husband" reads the
big head on the front page of one of
yesterdays afternoon papers, and be-
meath 1t recited pathetically for nearly
one column thrObbing, heart-intereSt
tale of Mrs. Sarah Beaman of Waka-
rusa. Kan, who dashed herself over
the balcony into the first floor Of the
union depot to intercept her husband
who was coming in the gate with a
young woman. 1t was very pretty
tale, and we'll told.
But unfortunately there was no Mrs.
Sarah Beaman from Wakarusa. Kan.
in the union depot yesterday. No wo-
man has ever jumped from the balcony
to the main floor.
Depot Detective David Bradley, who
IS the author of the yarn, has sprung it
on every new reporter in the depot for
the past two years. Practically every
newspaper man in the west, who has
ever spent a week on a Kansas City
paper, recognized the story as printed,
and laughed as he said:
