BABY WASHING

4 baby washing contest is the newest
kind of playground activity. ard the
credit for inventing the idea belongs TO
Nellie NJ. Easland. Of Hartford, Conn.
\ playground set aside for the special
use OF little mothers and their charges
was to be an experiment In Hartford s
vacation school equipment this summer,
but I'm two days time the little moth
ers' had so demonstrated their appre-
citation of the playground that Il took
what might be called n flying leap over
the experimental stage and was admit
ted as part of the summer work.
Giving them a place to play was only
the first step In Miss Easland's plan.
She decided to turn their play instinct
into useful channel. so that some real
need would be met. And what need more
imminent. and also more eloquent, than
the babies need To be clean? Thereupon
Miss Easland set about having the Tit
tie mothers wash their small charges
and, preserving the spirit of play. she did
not make II a troublesome task. She
made 1t joyful occasion
A convenient nook between the kinder
garten and another building was cur
tanned of and became an outdoor bath
house. Here the special work OF clean
ing up the little people gees on every
day The teachers themselves do not
wash any Of the babies. The little
mothers" do this under instruction. The
idea is TO teach them how to care for
their baby sisters and brothers and 10
show them the right way to wash a
baby. These lessons are bound to benefit
not only the youngster who gets 81 bath
at the playground. but the methods
learned here will he put into practice
I'm the next generation as well, when the
little mothers" become sure enough
mothers.
Every girl who baths baby Uhey
say it English fashion, gets a tri-colored
badge, and these are cherished as great
treasures. but the really exciting time
comes at the end OF the week. when the
girl who has done the mos. work I'm the
baby washing line gets prize. Some
times this Is comb, sometimes a brush
or white apron. The sorrow of the de-
feated is alleviated by the knowledge
that next week there is another chance.
So great Is the enthusiasm over these
ablutions that babies have beer bor-
rowed by children ambitious TO wash
them. when no baby could be had at
home. Other girls more bountifully SUD-
piled with small brothers and sisters
bring two or three and get busy with
all of them.
This Is plan that need not be linn
tied to Hartford. The paraphernalia re-

OF heating the water are about all that
is required in addition to the executive
ability and interest necessary to make
