All Work and No
Play Makes Jack
A Very Dull Boy
GERMANS APPRECIATE THE PLAYGROUND
WAS FIRST WORKED OUT IN BOSTON.

when we say, however. that there
are 500 cities in this country main
tanning Fairgrounds. We must not
think hat we mean at all the same
thing hat we do when we say that
these cities maintain q system of pub
lie schools. Then we mean that there
Is u seat in some school for every child
in the city, but there is not q city in
the country that provides a place for
every child to play.
Come Only a Half Mile.
I'VE find from the registration OF
the children at the Fairgrounds In the
different cities that the children do
not come regularly more than q half
mile. This clearly means that Il we
are to reach the children there must
be a playground within one-half mile
Chicago has thirty-eight Fairgrounds
and needs $40, thus having q little
more than one-tenth of the number
required.
Probably the place where organ
lied play is most needed Is in the
orphan asylum Or other institution for
children. These children cannot go
fishing or shopping or wander about.
They have a craving for the COM
abundance of time, and their lives are
over-mechanized. I believe that Wig
orous enthusiastic play could do more
for these children than the public
school. and I doubt II there Is an in
stitution in the country that is making
adequate provision for 1t.
The little children under 6 ought
to get most Of their play at home.
They have all of their time for play.
that they can do. and the establish
ment of health and a vigorous
physique is the paramount considera-
ton. For about $26 1t is possible to
put into the yard Of a private house
one or two swings. a sand-bin. equip
ment for croquet and tether ball. and
make a fine playground for the little
children. Less than one per cent Oh
our homes are making this provision.
Playground Has Developed.
The playground Of today is very
different from the playground Of ten
years ago. The first Fairgrounds were
simple affairs. consisting usually of a
few swings and seesaw and a sand-bin.
They We're usually open only four or
five weeks during the summer. We
have added to this equipment the out
door gymnasium, the wading pool, the
swimming pool. and in Chicago and a
number Of other cities the field house,
which is practically a public Y. NJ. c.
Many of the Fairgrounds are now car
ried on throughout the year and in
some the playground day has been
heightened to 10 o'clock at night, so as
to make provision for the working
boys and girls. and adults as we'll as
children. The whole tendency of the
play movement at present is for 1t to
become a movement for public recrea-
ton, and take as its province all forms
of recreation in the community"

FARMERS NEED.
BETTER CREDIT
University President Con-
tends that Present System
Must be Improved.

That n of the greatest needs OF
the northwest is facilities whereby
the farmers a secure capital and
credit at more reasonable rates, IL
the firm opinion of President F. L
McVey of the state university. Presi-
dent McVey spent the summer months
studying conditions in Germany, Den
In Denmark the farmers have co.
operated and are able to command
capital at not vel five per cent. In
discussing this important subjec;
President Mcvey said:
II am thoroughly convinced that
what our farmers in the northwest
need more than anything else is not
conservation Of forests, nor increase
Of fertility Of the soil. o even rota-
ties to secure capital at reasonable
rates with which to apply their labor
to the land.
Time vas when cheap lands pro-
duced crops with little labor and capt.
tai. Under that condition the greater
part of this country was incorporated
into cultivated vat farms; Of Of Which there
this process working capital has bee:,
relatively too dear for liberal use.
Too much Of what vas available had
to take the fixed form Of machinery,
to meet the situtaoin created by scarce
and high priced labor. That situation
checked improvements. made growth
in intensive directions slower. and
caused many to cash in the unearned
increment coming from the improve
ment of the farm values. at a time
when their residence on farms was
needed to check the rising prices Of
|foodstuffs.
Nothing is probably more funda-
mentally responsible for the heavy In.
crease in the cost Of living than mort
cages bearing from eight per cent in
terest in the west and south from the
early. eighties to the middle Of the
nineties. Capital at reasonable loan
ing rates must lead the way back to
the farm by putting the investor in
productive lands on something Of q
parity as a broker with the merchant,
the manufacturer. the railroad and
other corporations. That can be done
II the experience of Europe is intelli-
gently applied. and until 1t is done
the premium on farm abandonment
is apt to prevail. and high prices

The program was closed by Miss

Fit the Man.
He pointed out changed industrial
conditions as demanding changed
educational methods. Instead of
making the mar fit the job. he be-

the man. On that point he showed
that the man who stands at a ma
chine for many hours each day, SHOW
ing a piece of leather or wood into 1t

now enjoys the shorter hours, should.

showed quite clearly that heredity has

Boys are capable Of deciding for

ton. doesn't hold water. and ne cited

Find out what the boy IL interested

lar line" admonished Mr.. Pufer who
showed his hearers that through the
adoption Of that plan great results
can be accomplished.
Girls Home Makers.
To find the vocation Of girls is much
easier. Their natural vocation is
home making. and education Of wo-
men should be centered on h home:
Proper education along that line OF
both men and women. the speaker de-
clared, would mean an advancement
Of the time Of marriage. and the wo-
men would reach their natural voca-
ton earlier in life than they do now.
Center all your education around

or ten years before It Is now brought

Gators. In the past he said education
has been away from the home.
II wouldn't lessen the forces that
make for independent women; l
wouldn't take away training in other
vocations. for the more independent
women are, the higher standard must
man maintain to claim them"
Learn Trades.
Vocational education as carried out
In Massachusetts, was given consider
able attention. the speaker pointing
to the fact that five per cent of the
boys are in trade schools. and in
clinching his statement that boys can
choose their life work at an early
age. he showed that only two per cent
Of the boys leaving those schools have
changed their vocations.

NORTH DAKOTA

Statistics secured by the Dcvcl-

ten years has not ccn any aprre-

of Il number of large farms. In
1890 the average farm acreage in
the state was 2.7.4. while in 1910
1t had increased to 1928. But
during that time land values in
North Dakota were literally scar-
ing. In the period from 1890 10
1900 farm property went up 81
per rent while in the period from
1900 to 1911 1t advanced 1888 per
