chicagoans Are to Be Taught
How to Play.
Professor chubb Of University OF Ne"
York Says Children Are Losing
True Spirit Of Youth and Get
ting Into Adult Ways.

Chicago.-Prof. Percival Chubb OF
New York university and head OF the
department Of English and pageants
In the Ethical Culture school Of New
York, lectured here the other night
under the auspices OF the Chicago
Ethical society. He sought to give Inn
petus to the Playground association Of
Chicago and to other agencies which
are attempting to teach children and
grown people how to play, for he de-
clares that It is q lost art.
The old-time play spirit has been
almost entirely forgotten" he said.
Children do not know how to amuse
themselves. They no longer play
games at parties; they don't indulge
in puppet shows and mirstrels.
The Sunday comic papers are
among the chief offenders against
children. In the schools. for example,
we work to develop a certain stand

children Constantly. In school and
out Of school. the Sunday supplement
works against any educative efforts.
In place of better qualities, in the
trough Of the comic sheets children
learn smartness, vulgarity, money
tricks and irreverence.
Besides establishing bad habits Of
taste the Sunday supplements make
for a 'ecatter-brain' state Of mind
among children The habit Of sus-
tanned attention Is lost l for one

MAKING A NURSE OF FATHER


Boston.-A new and novel plan has
been set on foot by the Boston Asso-
citation for the Care of the Baby and
Its Food. whereby the father as well
as the mother is to be given careful
and concise instruction as to what is
for the best interests In the upbring-
ing Of the child and the care OF the
mother.
This departure, after much expe-
rience in mother instruction. has been
deemed as one of the essentials In
perfecting the knowledge among the
poor concerning the health of the
child.
The fathers are to be got hold OF
through the mothers who apply at the
different milk stations.

HAIR SPLITTING DECISION
BY BRITISH JURIsTs

Many Of Our Judicial tribunals,
Instead of interpreting Law.

WASHINGTON.i. April 26.-W hile
there have been many decisions rem

abortive, which naa led to great
abuses and general decline of re-
spect and confidence in the judicial
branch of the government, yet Eng
land is apparently striving, in some
instances, at least Ito Aemulate judi
cial practice of this fouhtry. A work
ingmen's compensatiorT act is in
force in Great Britain,kand under its
provisions all waget eerners are in
cluded. Recently q Xxi cab driver
was injured in cranki,g his machine
and applied for CONDENSATION pro-
vided by law where the injury re-
ceived compelled csssation of work

of the lower court. Another appeal
was taken to the house Of lords, and
this august body. also sustained. the
decision of the court Of appeal But
the curious mental twist of the minds
Of those making the decision is worthy
of close scrutiny, and while pathetic,
is also amusing. The meat of the
