CLEAN POLITICS

The Republicans and Democrats of

ed into an agreement to conduct a
campaign in that county this fall in
which no money, whiskey or other
thing of value shall be used to pro-
mote the candidacy of any candidate
of either ticket.

publican committee of the county,
first addressed letter to c. r. Car
den, chairman OF the Democratic com

candidates meet with the Republican
candidates and sign an agreement tina
the campaign and election be con-
Quoted without such sordid influences
as money and whiskey.

taken not to put the sheep back in

II needs is to let the sheep get a

soon be covered. They can either
get them from a sheep that has
them or from the stable or pastures,

after sheep have been cured not TO
let them get to places where they
can get the scab mites.
After a couple of months. or after
the stables have been washed with

whiskey, and in addition he would
offer a reward of $3.50 for any other
candidate convicted of such an offense
In addition to all of this, the Demo-
Gratis proposed that each candidate
be required to take a solemn oath
that he would not use money or whis-
key, or that he would not subscribe
to a campaign fund or promise anyone
an office or other thing of value, and
that he would not reimburse anyone
for any work or labor or money used
in the coming campaign and election.
The Republicans accepted the pro-
position, and now the candidates Of
both parties are going to have a

THE SCHOOL
PLAYTIME IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Educational Value of Play.
BY J. w. DINSMoRE

YOU came to get into this trouble. Is
it true that you like apples so very
well, if you can't get them in any
other way, YOU just have TO steal
them? Is it your love for apples that
is the cause o. all this?" Jack look
ed somewhat confused and surprised.
He kac never thought of it in that
light before. Then hanging his head
in embarrassment he said, mo, maam,
but it is such fun TO have them chase
me-" Mr.. Hammer remarks, What
that boy wanted was a game, net APP
pies, and the community is not look
ing out for its own welfare that
does not provide him a means of
having his game in a good wholesome
way, instead of having it under con-
ditions that are paving the way for
greater offences when he comes to
be a man"
Boys of moral minds do not run in
to evil because of any love for doing
wrong. They have a natural desire
for adventure and because of lack Of
legitimate outlets they often get
into scraps that may lead to serious
offenses. 1t is the business of parents
and teachers to provide this legiti-
mate outlet to their energies with
amusements that will develop their
powers and be an asset all thru life.
This boundless energy and intense
desire to be doing something outside
of Regular routine is the teachers
great opportunity and should not be
neglected. To make the most of il
much careful planning should be done
and the boys own taste and choice
should have consideration. 1t is not so
much what We think children ought
to do and be as it is what nature
prompts them to. Unless We are
blessed with a fertile imagination and
a good memory of our own childhood
we are likely to see thru mature eyes
and judge accordingly. Yet If we
have the imagination and the memory
this will be a great help as well as
1t will furnish the wisdom that is lack
ing to childhood. 1t may often be
necessary to restrain, to plan and to
direct. But a child should be allow
ed to think and to plan for himself
as far as his capacity will permit.
The teacher will need to modify, to
offer suggestions and TO place limita-
lions but he should take his cue large
ly from what the child wishes TO do
and enjoys doing.

BASEBALL ONLY A TYPE.
It must not be assumed from the
foregoing that baseball is the only
game. 1t is used here because It 5
a typical American game, perhaps the
most universal of school sports and
shows well the educational value Of
play. There are games that are
better for the cultivation of patience,
courtesy, grace aud other social quail
ties. In every school there should be
a variety of games to suit all con-
ditions such as age, sex, tempera-
ment, mental and physical ability and
weather.
DOES THE COUNTRY CHILD NEED
PLAY?
We sometimes hear the idea ad-
vanced that country children do not
need play, they get enough exercise
from their work and in walking to and
from school, This thought is based
upon the wrong assumption that play
this the case the country children
would still need play. The farm boy
is proverbially awkward and ungainly.
The old proverb about all work and
no play is true. A child that is kept
at work and deprived of play grows
dull and listless and old before his
time. He needs the mental stimulus
and exhilaration that comes from
competition with his fellows in friend
ly sports. He should engage in games
that bring into play unused muscles
and that tax his lungs and endurance.
He should satisfy his natural desire
to match his powers against others
of his age and size.
MORE VALUE OF PLAY ILLUS
TRATED.
But phycical exercise as has been
said is only a part of the value of
play. The mental, moral and social
features are of great Importance and
should not be neglected. The mental
phase has already been noticed. Its
moral value is well illustrated by
the following story told by Mr.. Lee
F. Hammer, Field Secretary of the
Playground Association of America.
A boy was arrested for stealing
apples. The judge of the juvenile
court turned him over to the proba
ton officer who took occasion as soon
as they were alone to have a heart
to heart talk with him, Now Jack"
she said, Il want you to tell me how

A Trihe Uncertain,

Little Jeans parents were enthusiast
tic bridge-players. and Jean was more
or less familiar with the sight OF
cards. At Sunday school one day the
teacher had been giving a talk on
David. Finally she held up little col
ored print OF David dressed IN royal
robes. and asked: What child can tell
me who this is?" Out OF the silence
piped little Jeans voice: Il think it's
a king. but Il may be a jack!"
