vAcATIoN AND TAG aHIL0aEN

By request Jonas COOK contributes
a short article to the Express toda}
in which he propounds the qnestiont
What are You going To d. with
them?1
The problem to which the article
refers is the army Of children turned
loose from school this week For
many years a successful educator and
a father himself, Mr. Cook has given
this subject much thought and he
urges It upon the attention Of all par
ents.
1t will be noted that Mr.. Cook makes
no attempt to give specific advice as
to what to do with the youngsters,
and therein he is wise because each
child, with an individuality and with
environments Of his own, presents a
case to be dealt with according to his
needs, and parents are the most COM
petent to decide what is to be done.
The basic idea suggested by Mr..
Cook is that the average child is a
bundle Of energies which need direct
ing. whether in the channels Of play
or work and both play aud work are
necessary for the normal youngster
The child has a right to be protected
from the dangers Of idleness and to
have his energies directed in useful,
healthful, fun-making activities.
We invite attention 10 Mr. Cooks

the city for their thoughtful considera-
ton. in the hope that it viii lead to
more intelligent study Of child ma
ture and more earnest efforts to make
the vacation a period OF more fun for

cation through the means Of both work

9th VERSES.

All the ways Of man are clean in

The Lord hath made all things for

Everyone that is peryerse in heart is

BY mercy aud truth inlquity is
