every evening, with an occasional
evening OF games, is surely com
ing into its own.
The school that confines young
creatures Tor several hours a day,
compelling them to lay aside for
the time the natural impetus Of
action and play, in order to instil
methods and knowledge that we
believe to be for their good, can
gam in influence by catering to
the social natures of the youne
people at odd times, Charades
and tableaux may seem all uni
necessary to us who are old, but
such an afternoon or evening is an
event in child's life.
OF course, it is requisite that
such diversion, or digressions, if
you will have it SO, must be prop
erly conducted, but there are Sc
many o. us to do it. Many of our
old folk, with serious mien, could
IT given chance, show the young
how to enjoy themselves-as ir
