from town without doubt at the
i old fashioned New Years party
this evening at Del Monte. Burlingame
will claim a share of the social func-
tions at house parties and other cele-
brations of an informal sort.
The death of George McNear has
made a difference in the plans of at
least score of persons who were go
ing to Del Monte for the holiday, but
who will remain at home quietly in
stead. Among them are Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick McNear and Mr.. and Mrs.
Gus Taylor.
The hotels are to be favored places
for supper parties and among those
who viii entertain at the st. Francis
are Mr.. and Mrs. William Mintzer,
Lieutenant and Mrs. Harold S. Naylor,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Rosenfeld At the
Palace there will be hundreds of guests
and the Fairmont will be devoted to the
subscription ball. The home affairs will
attract several hundred guests.
An engagement that will be received
with interest by society here and across

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Rob-
erts Kelly of this city, and Edward

Mrs. Warren S. Palmer of Alameda The

DIR. OULICK SAYS F1EN

Playground Expert Explodes Verbal Bomb in Teachers
Convention in Address on What Play Means
BIZ MARY AsHE MILLER


DR.. Luther H. GuIick hasNcorne out

discovered himself to us in a new light.
Those Of US who go in deeply for a

them. In consequence. many of the
most superficial of us. who do not real
ize that children must be taught how
to play, know of the eminent man as
president of the playground commission
of America and one of the authorities
on the true inwardness Of childish
frivolity and depravity.
Doctor Gulick came to San Francisco
primarily to talk to the teachers of
the state in session gathered and he
cast a verbal bombsheIl among them
Wednesday afternoon. He told What
Play Means" Most of us have played
about at one thing or another-shinny,
charades. love making. craps or even
making living-but Doctor Gulick
makes it more serious than any of
these.
OF course. we have come to know that
"all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" is not mere aphorism, but
is to be taken as one of the important
lines in the writings on "The Making of
Citizen
Take a child young enough, carefully
remove his tonsils and if possible an
adenoid or txuo- erfxra hin, car+f6a5 v,,t1r~.
make him eat and sleep out of doors in
all weathers. mind you-also do what
studying is permitted him in the open
air and according to none of the rules
of the last century; teach him to de-
tect germ localities at first sight; where
the haunt of the tuberculosis microbe
is, and have a more or less elaborate
vacant lot where man, appointed with
wailing and gnashing of teeth from
politicians and philanthropists, may in
struct him in the art of the seesaw and
the proper conduct of the sandpiIe
Thus you may have "our future citizen"
brought up to the standard I forgot
to mention his teeth--one really bad
molar may undermine his entire char
acter
Doctor Gulick knows all this, of
course, and very much more. and in his
talk to teachers he advanced to the
subject of womsn's part in play He
took up basket ball and women's clubs
presumably as the most playful
things that women do-and declared
them forward steps in the development
of womanlxind because they denote
team work" sort of getting to-
gether."
Possibly, but wonder if he ever saw
the behavior of some of the teams
at a women's club convention
He goes on to say: 'The morality
of woman is related to devotion to the
home. to the husband and the children.
And she has been truer to these ideals
than man has. The morality of men is
devotion to the political unit. which
women have not"
Just here I should like to ask what
is this political unit? Women have
it not. Doctor Gulick says Men do not
seem to have it either. It is appar
emily more undiscoverable than the
north pole has proved to be. This would
seem to indicate that mans morality is
in sad state-in fact that it is a hazy.
uncertain quantity.
