Why Teach a Child to Play

"Why teach a child to play? One
at all. Play was the mother of edu
cation Species and races have adj
vanced proportionately as they have
played Nay! AS they have taught
play With what perfectly adapted
and enhancing steps does play still
lead the young child unto knowledge
and efficiency And when, finally, he
is taken into the school, his educa-
ton is effective proportionately as it
gathers inspiration and force from the
great stream of humanity, which
vastly more than the individual him
self determines the issues of each
individual life. To try to educate
children otherwise is to fly in the
face of the immutable purposes of
God Himself, which he has revealed
to us in the story of evolution" Ex-

VISIT MORGAN FARMS
Government Officials Will be In
State This Week.

During Thanksgiving week Lieut.
Col. David S. Etanley, U. S. A, Ton.
George NJ. Rommel, Chief of the Ami
NAL Husbandry Division of the
United State Department of Agri-
culture and Hon. Maxwell Evarts of
Windsor, acting as a committee for
the purchase of Morgan stations OF
breeding army horses will make a
tour of Vermont and visit the prin-
cipal breeding sections in this Sta,e.
Plans for the establishment of two
more large breeding farms for the
production and trainging of army
horses, under the provisions of an act
of the last session of Congress, APP
propriating $4,000 for that purpose
were discussed at a meeting of rep
resentatives of the Department of
Agriculture, the army, and represen-
tative citizens from various sections
of the United States in Washington
last week
1t was decided that besides the
farm located at Middlebury, VT, herd
ing farms should be established at
Front Royal, Va, and at some place
in Kentucky, TO be decided at later
meeting of the committee The Bur
eau of Animal industry OF the Depart
ment will have charge of the breed
ing animals. II was also announced
that the coming session of Congress
will be asked to make an additional
appropriation for this work so that
the development of cavalry and artil-
lery horses may go forward unhind-
cred by lack of money.
One-third of the horses which are
thus bred by the Department will
be used in the artillery branch of the
army and the others i'm the cavalry
The army purposes to equip itself
with the finest horses which can be
raised in this country. this being the
purpose of the $4,000 appropriation
already made by Congress.
Lieut-Col. Stanley and Mr.. Rommel
will join Mr.. Evarts in Windsor and
proceed northward visiting the es-
adjustments of A. Fullerton Phillips
and A. w. Peters & Son at Bradford
h. II. Hoffman's farm at Lyndonville,
and Mountain View Farm and others
OF the region near Burke.
They then expect to cross the
State. stopping at Danville. Mont
pelier, and Fort Ethan Allen, thence
southwark to the government farm at
Weybridge, II. X. c. Watson's Morgan
farm at Brandon and then across to
Rochester. The Department through
Mr.. Rommels annual visits to the
Vermont State Fair has become ac-
Quainted with what Vermont breed
ers and the Morgan Horse Club have
done TO preserve the Morgan breed,
and the government appropriation
was urged by the Department and by
Senator Page with knowledge OF
these facts.
1t is understood that the purpose
will be to retain the Morgans at con
venient points in Vermont where they
have been raised to the greatest per
lection in the past. The records of
the Morgan horses in the First Yer
mont Cavalry in the Civil War which
have recently been published have
helped to draw attention to the eff
iiciency of Morgans as cavalry horses.
