MOVEMENT
OF THE DAY
0,D D0@ 8~00

New York, Jan. 6.-Further con-
traction of prices was the most strik-
.ng feature of the stock market to-
day. Trading was almost the dullest
of the week and while prices in the
active group showed gains at the
close, the undertone was at times
sluggish and uncertain. Sentiment
among the traders was rather mixed.
Rumors that the Hill interests We're
negotiating for the control of the
Western Pacific received no confirma-
ton, and reports that the st. Louis &
San Francisco system contemplates
extending its lines to the Pacific coast
were promptly denied. OF the new
railroad returns submitted, that of the
Missouri Pacific was the most y i'm
portant, showing a decrease in net
earnings for November of $3.50, 900 and
a total decrease for the five months
ending November 80 of $1,675,000. Dis
patches from Chicago told of another
cut in steel bars by Independent mills.
Increasing ease was shown today by
the local monetary situation, call
loans going to the lowest rate of the
week on a limited inquiry.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, $4,-
02S.OOo.
U. s.. bonds unchanged on call.

Curtis EXPERIENCE
IS EXTENSIVE
LECTURER OF TONIGHT is MAN
OF AccoMPLtsHMENT-PLAY-
GROUND SYSTEM.

Notice has already been given in
these columns OF the lecture to be
given by DIR. Henry s. Curtis upon the
Playground Movement" but a word
Of more personal nature may not
be amiss DIR. Curtis, who will speak
at the high school this evening, Is d
man of, pleasing personality, of broad
scholarship and wide experience, who
speaks not of theory alone but of
much work accomplished. His train
ing as a physician and an expert in
physical education, together with many
years experience lin social work, amply
fit him to speak with authority. As
secretary Of the playground movement,
he has been able to accomplish much
In the interests of children and their
welfare in many of the eastern cities
In this age of science and explora~
ton the most remarkable discovery
has been the discovery of the child
This has not only revolutionized edu-
cational theory and practice, but has
led to many very important results
in social work and in the treatment OF
Juvenile delinquents. Our educational
policy has been based almost entirely
upon the intellectual attalnments, with
little regard for the physical and psy-
Geological development Of the child. As
has already been stated, play has
most vital importance in the natural
development Of the child. Thus more
ard better means should be provided
for the physical education of the pu-
pts in ouH public schools. Proper
places for play, winter and summer,
for the various grades. all to be placed
under the direction of some properly
trained person, is certainly one OF the
most Immediate needs OF Missoula's
public school system.
Those who have known Dr.. Curtis
personally and have been acquainted
with his work can heartily recommend
him to Missoula audience. This lee
ture should be deemed q very great
privilege and opportunity, which the
Woman's club has provided for the
enlightenment and the enlistment of
Missoula's loyal citizens.
