there is no crying need in Washington

cant and improved celebration than has
been the custom. in smaller communities
the task should be very much easier.
Why was not the possibility OF a more
rational celebration discovered sooner?
1t has only been recently that anybody
realized children needed to be taught how
to play. The growth of the playground
movement has been simply phenomenal
The extension of the work OF playground
associations to showing children and

The methods followed in different places

be fireworks. In Brooklyn special fea-

The features of this programme are
familiar. Children know the patriotic
songs, drills, and salutes from their

frenzIed interest children take in election
parades and in those on Decoration Day
is known TO all. Innumerahle special
celebrations and annual Sunday school
parades all have furnished obvious hints
that the reason the honoring of hide

extremes is because communities have
