Oskaloosa has Abba skinned more
than a woman's minute in the matter
of park in their public square. Our
park really does look something like
that Des Moines banker says-Sahara
Desert. The Oskaloosa park has num-
erous fountains going during the day,
the grass is green and pretty as can
be and the shade trees afford place
of retreat for tired and weary. Suit
able benches have been placed at Ger.
tain points and here is rest and
quiet. The benches are fastened
down so that Tom, Dick and Harry
cannot move them about. The Oska,
loosa park is a pretty place and no
mistake and it would not hurt one
bit if the people of Abba would for,
get their business for short while
and take up the matter of placing
trees in the park and otherwise beau
tifying the place.

HORACE SAW THINGS
Editor of Abba Republican Tells of
Visit to Oskaloosa.

Horace Barnes, of the Abba Repub,
lican, got special permit to leave
Abba the other day and visit a live
town. 1t was quite concession on
the part of Mayor Pabst, as Abba
hates to let any of her citizens outside
of the corporation, for fear they may
never come back. 1t is practically
impossible to buy a ticket to Oska,
loosa, but Mr.. Barnes finally succeed
ed and came over. Here is what he
saw and heard:

HIS SPORTS

His sports are the most serious
thing In his early life; the funnier
and louder they are, the more serious
They rank with the solemnities and
If they are at all what they ought TO
be, their value is beyond calculation.
Physically, he is adapted to sport
and then developed by 1t. His grow
Ing muscles and bones and his un-
stable nervous system require play.
He has several million neurons already
and each one is jumping-all OF them
in different directions. Cant you
keep still?" asks the impatient moth
er, when she ought to know from
memory that he cannot. He is manu-.
featuring energy so fast 1t must be
taken care of, and play Is the very
way nature has devised for that. Play
gives each muscle and neuron q
chance and train their all to work to-
gether
But the chief value Of play is not
physical; 1t Is mental and ethical and
social and emotional. 1t shows what
is In a boy; helps to correct him;
then discovers great truths and prin-
ciples to him.
He expresses all OF himself I'm play.
The psychical as we'll as physical
seeks that form of expression. He ex-
presses his emotions first In food
getting; next in play. His whole
mind gets into It, Imitation and
Imagination; reason and religion: love
and hate: courege and comradeship-
all are there. From seven to thirteen
he learns to coordinate motion and
emotion.
He learns law, not alone the laws
of the game, but the great law Of
cause and effect. He learns, perforce,
to respect the rights of others. Team
work establishes social fellowship. He
learns to accept defeat cheerfully and
get ready for the next opportunity
Defeats are turned into achievements
and obstacles into opportunities, by
such a spirit The skill which the
game requires he always acquires,
training all his powers TO help each
other, like soldiers in a welldrilled

qualities disciplined by his sports
fairness, pluck and skill. Into the
gaining OF them go self-control, espe-
cially the control of the temper, def
ance of temptation, the aItruistic sen
timents Of comradeship, self-conf-
dence and obedience
AS a baby, his play developed his
muscles: next, his skill; then from
twelve on, It trained the will power
and the social sentiments. Nature has
graded the school just right AS the
spirit Of comradeship rises in him. he
enjoys his fellow players as well as
The play itself, sometimes more.
