THE MAN VINO LAUGHS.

In some retail stores are clerks

they foolishly think are superior %

had best seek other employment.
There are no degrees in useful labor.

value to the community as the banker
something the doubling banker

diggers to do that work Be his oc-

"TAINTED" MONEY.

A woman, the keeper of a nOtOri-
Gus dive, recently died in Omaha, and
left a million dollars for charity.
There was a good deal of discussion
before the gift was finally accepted.
The woman had apparently expected
that, for she made provisions in her
will for the disposal of the money
should it be refused. The incident
is still being discussed now after the
money has been accepted, and there
are those who cannot pardon it yet.
1t was right to accept the money.
There was something more in that
gift than merely donation to chari-
ty. Tied up with it was the secret
hope of a deed of repentance, and to
help the erring to repent is Cody.
The woman was not a perverter of
society. She only prOfited by So
ciety's perversiOn. The means where
by she attained her wealth cannot be
defended, but her effort to make
some restitution to the corrupt COM
munity from whom she profited is
praiSewOrthy.
She was returning to a community
to use for a better purpose, money
which it had previously given to her.
for purposes less defensible.

"The IntellectualS."

"In our Democracy. where every
thing else is so shifting, we alumni
and alumnae of the colleges are the
only permanent presence that cor
responds to the aristocracy in older
countries. We have continuous ira
ditions as they have; our motto. too,
is noblesse oblige: and, unlike them,
we stand for ideal interests solely, for
We have no corporate selfishness and
WELD no powers of corruption. We
ought to have our own class-consci-
business. Les Intellectuels. What
prouder club name could there be
than this ONE" ,"-William james.

FOR NEW YEAR SAY 81 WILL"

With the passing of Christmas We
face forward, and await, with
mingled awe and enthusiastic, the
coming New Year. 1t is a time of
determination, of reconsacrati.'n--
a sort of new firth for all ,: us when
the old year dies.
From the exuberant youth, reiOic-
ing because the new year brings him
nearer the estate of manhocd, to the
gray haired patriarch, awaitin; tie
summons which shall call hi,l from
service to the victor's crOwning We
thrill at the prospect. Star ling be-
tween two eternities, We peer into
the future.
The past is sealed. Ponder its
lessons, but let not your ponderings
palsy the will. The voice of OppOrtu-
nifty cries Come" Honor, fame
and fortune lie ahead. But the way
is rough, and siren songs ensnare the
dust-worn toiler. If you would win,
set yourself steadfastly toward the
goal, and be sure you fill each unfOr-
giving minute with sixty seconds
worth of labor done.
Make firm resolve Il will" 1t
is much easier to keep a resolution
headed 81 will" than 81 will not" The
former means aggressive effort: the
latter defensive inactiOn. The man
who will not" may keep from evil,
but only he who wills to do is master.

New Year begins at o'clock in the
morning of January 1. The Emperor
offers prayer for the welfare and hap
piness of the people in a small taber-
nacle in front of his palace, while all
over the country his subjects join the
supplication. At the conclusion OF
the ceremony the japanese have their
elaborately prepared breakfasts, to
which their dear friends and relatives
are invited. The japanese New Year
holidays cover five days.
The Chinese New Year is about one
month later than ours and comes
sometimes at the first of February.
Its celebration begins with shooting
fireworks early in the morning. The
Chinese New Year holidays last
about twenty days. during which gift
making, theater-gOing and feasting
occupy the attention of 10000, 900
people. All shops are closed for the
first five days of the New Year. No
official business is transacted during
the holidays.
Russia's New Year holidays cover
two weeks. Its commemoration be-
gins at midnight on New Years eve,
when all the people attend mass. On
the last day of the holidays. every
Russian puts cross upon his front
door for the purpose of preventing
Satan from entering the house
Another mass is held at 2 o'clock at
that afternoon (January 14).
In the United States we do net
have any special celebration for the
ringing in of the New Year. But we
have one feature in common with
these foreign cOuntries-rejoicing

NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS.

Both civilized and uncivilized peo-
pie have their New Year holiday, with
it's joy and celebration. The setting
can be traced back to 713 B. c..
when Numa substituted the celebra-
tiOn of Janus for the Jewish pass
over. At that time people looked upon
the day set apart for the feast of
Janus as having religious signifi-

merry-making.

havior; outdoors is play while in
nOcent is often lawless and reckless.
If we remember the joys and delights
of marble and ball upon meeting
companions on the corner or in the
streets it seems highly unjust to have
! been ordered by policeman backed
by an ordinance to disperse.
Street playing. even when unmO-
| Tested, is undesirable and in view of
the fact that improper associations
are formed and orders disobeyed it
frequently leads to first acquain-
tance with the Juvenile court. In
many cities of the United States, play
grounds have been opened and re-
ports from all these sources are to
the effect that the health conditions
are better and crime among children
less than without them.
Judge Ben Lindsey. in speaking of
the increase of crime among the
youth of cities. says: 1T is not their
fault, it is ours. IL is largely due to
that environment. to that condition.
which we create. Ii is not pretended
that any one remedy will suffice but
no one remedy proposed can be more
serviceable than the public play
ground"
The usual way of starting a cam
paign for playground is for a few
earnest men and women to start
an association and secure the CO.
operation of city authorities and bus
mess leagues; these assisted by the
school board, park board. and police
board will find little difficulty in OBJ
tanning the small amount of money
needed. In most places the city gov
ernment is ready for action while the
press is always ready to print articles.
The most successful method of
raising money has been to have men,
bers of regularly organized associa-
ton contribute membership fees of
stated amounts and then solicit new
members.
In some cities, abandoned ceme-
teries are transformed into play
grounds. The most interesting eX-
ample is at Washington, ID. c., where
at an outlay of about $4,000, COM
ing from appropriations of congress
and subscriptions, an abandoned Gem
etery was changed into the finest
playground in the world.
1t has been found that after the
cost of the grounds, the cost of main
tanning play ground ranges from
$50 to $1,000 a year. On such a
ground from 200 to 500 children can
find active enjoyment. The variations
in expenses We're due to the number
of leaders employed and equipment
furnished.
The equipment in most places is
confined to swings, see-saws, slides |
and sand-bins. The German SWING"
which accommodates eight to twelve
small children. is fast coming to be
used. On the larger and better play |
grounds there are grounds for foot
ball, baseball. basket ball, tetherball, |
pushball, and tennis.
Children up to the age of ten need |
much ground for running games such |
as tag, hide and seek, dare base,
blackman, and the like. Pushball.
a fascinating game, begins to find
place during this period.
In addition to volunteers, paid
readers. story tellers and supervisors
are provided, while for children above
ten there are directors and instruc-
tors in the various games

PUBLICITY AND WORLD AFFAIRS

A very small per cent of the Amer
lean people pay any attention to in
ternationaI affairs, as they are usu-
ally hard, complicated, dry, tedious,
and undertaking. Here is the duty of
American newspapers to create
among their readers an interest in in
ternational relations, and to give
them authenticated facts upon which
to base an international opinion. Ed
ward Cary, of the New York Times,
says, 1T is in relation to this senti-
ment, to its creation, guidance, re-
straint or stimulation, that the res
possibility of journalists arises"
In domestic affairs, readers can
easily get trustworthy information.
Therefore the people as rule, form
a fair public opinion. However, in
foreign affairs, the mass of the people
get an erroneous view of things.
"They think of a nation as an indi-
vidual with individual vices and vir-
tues, particularly vices" 1t is the
duty of newspapers to correct this
view and convince the readers that
they cannot judge a nation by few
individual representatives of the ma
tion. 1t is the duty of newspapers to
keep readers cool, rational, fair
minded, and well-balanced concern
ing international problems. 1t is
their duty to print clearcut, uncOl-
ored, and impartial statements of
facts. The responsibility of journal
lists is great, for their Interpretation
of current events has great influence
over readers in forming their pub
lie sentiments.
Mr.. Cary says, 1T is truism in all
lands where the press is reasonably
free, that the responsibility of jour-
nalism in international affairs is
weighty" 1t is hopeful to find the
press of America in rapid advance
toward the fulfillment of that res
ponsibity.

Public recreation is the largest un-
organized ignorantly administered
section of American public affairs
Schools throughout the country real
ize the Importance of play and recre-
alton and are seeking to show its
use, Importance, and relation to
health and education.
The University of Missouri offers
definite and systematic instruction
along this line. DIR. W. H. Pyle in
his text on educational psychology
devOtes an entire chapter to play and
emphasizes throughout the course
the intimate relation of physical ac-
tivity to mental attainment This
work taken by every one finishing
the course in the School of Educa-
ton is SO convincing and SO much
in harmony with results obtained by
students of child life and child nature
as to leave no doubt in any ones
mind as to the use and value of play.
DR.. J. H. Merriam in the ElemeH-
tary School demonstrates not only
the use and Importance of play as de-
velOping body and mind, but also that
large part of what is termed school
work can be taught and acquired in
drills and exercises so much like
play that the child never regards it
as work
Further. course in physical edu-
cation is offered. Those completing
it are allowed four to eight hours
credit. Teaching of physical educa-
tion by Miss Margaret Austill takes
up physical education under school
conditions, exercises to be used and
methods of organization and teach
ing.
DevelOpmental and special exer-
cises as well as the history, develop
mcnt and present place in education
of physical education are offered by
c. l.. Brewer and his assistants These
consist not only in teaching the vari-
Gus games and exercises but also in
the study of different systems, play
ground movements, organization
and management of athletics and the
playground in connection with the
school. Thus the University is up to
and in advance of most schools in
and physical training.
Any adequate consideration of the
child must consider public recreation
of which the playground is a part.
There is nothing more vitally re-
lated to the education and morals of
the people of our nation than what
they do with their leisure time. and
yet there is nothing to which we
have given less attention than We
have to affOrding the people an Op-
portunity to use their leisure time in
way that shall make for wholesome
ness.
The idea of organized Fairgrounds
for children of school age and partic-
ularly of the primary grades has not
yet been realized though the atten-
tion of those, who take an active in
terest in children has been drawn to
the danger of neglecting physical ed
ucatiOn and recreation and allowing
children to play in the streets when
they can not be tolerated or trusted
indoors.
Play is instructive and like all 9TH
er instincts, in order to express itself,
seizes upon and makes use of the ma
terial and the opportunities at it's dis
posal. The child indoors is apt to
give utterances to yells and climb
furniture not at all in conformity
with the general idea of proper be-
