supervision Of children at play will do
more to develop good citizens than the
study of books.
The conduct of children upon the play
ground, the habits they acquire there
and the lessons they are taught in their
games contribute to form character just
as much as the influence of the mother
in the home. Hence the Importance of
securing competent and conscientious
supervisors for each playground should
be recognized by Congress and by al!
other authorities who have jurisdiction
over such matters.
The Playground Association of Ameri-
ca at it's first congress in Chicago APP
tinguished educational authorities and ex-
perts in physical culture. with Prof.
Hethington of the University of Mis-
souri, as chairman, to prepare normal
course of instruction for playground
supervisors, and the University of IL
linois, the University of Wisconsin. the
University of Missouri. the training
schools of the Y. NJ. c. A. at Chicago
and Springfield and several of the Chau-
tauqua assemblies nave taken up the
matter in earnest.
The interest is extending. the people
who are leading the movement are de-
veloping new ideas, correcting mistakes
and defects in the old ones. and the inn
portance of furnishing rallying places for
boys and girls in preference to the street
corners, the alleys, the railway stations,
the penny theater and such vicious re-
sorts is being recognized everywhere.
Preparations Under Way.
To this end space is being set aside at
accessible points throughout the cities,
about the public school buildings, in the
public parks. and in some cases land is
being purchased and cleared of buildings.
Vacant iots are often loaned for play
grounds. Competent young men and
women are being employed to take
charge of these spaces to keep order. to
teach the children how to play and to
see that the activities on them are
wholesome and good. They are turning
to and uniting with the Playground AS
ISOLATION of America as cooperative
organization or central clearing house
in working out the problems with the
least possible loss from experimental
undertakings.
Fairgrounds for the children must be
where the children are. Experience
shows that the radius of influence is not
much over one-half mile. The athletic
fields for the larger boys may be 10 -ated
further out, but even these should be
as accessible as possible. Until the habit
is established many boys are attracted

Of the stack Is carried up straight,
giving 1t the same diameter all the
way up. The bundles are laid in
courses, as in stacking grain, with
but very little tapping of the courses,
the idea being to keep the top of the
stack almost level while being built.
In the courses, the bundles are
crowded as closely together as posi-
BILE, and all tangled stalks are straight
ened out This is essential in order
that there may be as complete an eX-
clusion of air as possible. To further
exclude the air, it is advisable to
carry the stack up to height of fif-
teen or more feet, as all additional
height increases the weight and con-
seQuently the compactness of the low
er portion of the stack. AS soon as
the stack has reached height where
the bundles cannot conveniently be
handled by hand, a derrick or stacker
should be used.
1t is essential to build the stack as
upright as possible, and to keep it
evenly tramped and packed, in order
that it will not lean and cause trouble.
To assist in keeping the stack
plumb, after you have decided on the
location, strike a circle on the
ground, that will be the exact Ioca-
ton of the outside of the stack; and
