DR.. BROWNS QUESTIONS
ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
REVIEW FOR TOMORROW

Charles R. Brown. in The CongregationaIiSt. Boston.
What was the effect OF the rule OF
Joseph upon the Egyptians? In the Bible
record we get only the Hebrew side of
the question.
Would you justify the killing of the
Egyptian taskmaster by Moses?
Were the Israelites responsible for the
spiritual apathy induced by the social
oppression they suffered? Are people
generally responsible for results which
they cannot control?
How far do heredity and environment
load the dice against the action OF a
mans free will?
Do you believe that the Ten Com
mandments still are in force?
Was the experience Of Moses and the
Israelites at the foot Of Sinah then moth
ing more than an exceptionally severe
thunder storm?
When the Israelites refused to start
for the land of promise "by the way of
the land OF the Philistines, although that
was near" were they thinking OF the
''educative and disciplinary experience"
to be gained by traversing the longer
route?
II the plaques were simply great
public calamities," can they be viewed
as in any sense moral judgments?
What was the underlying thought in
that command about not cooking a kid
in the milk of the mother goat as con-
tained in the older code Of Exodus "a?
When Aaron made the golden calf and
set it up. saying. These be thy gods.
70 Israel" did he believe that the idol
was divine?
How far are we warranted in regarding
the details of the Exodus stories as
historical?

Bead work headbaRds by the Camp
Fire Girls and reed and rama basket
work by the playground boys and girls
form a large part Of the display. The
articles are diverse, and there are
great many of them in the cases.
All this work has been instituted
and carried out by the Fairgrounds
authorities at the cost of $3.50 a play
ground for the raw materials, accord
ing to figures given by Miss Ellen
Hope Wilson. The children are given
the articles they make. This course
is followed. Miss Wilson explained. be-
cause the cost Of the materials Is so
small. The production of dresses and
more expensive articles out of mate
rials furnished by the District Is not
allowed. she said, because the greater
expense would make the Fairgrounds
work suggestive of charity. Children.
however, who furnish their own ma
terisls will be taught by their play
grounds instructors how to make
dresses and other elaborate things.
This exhibition of the work of the
Washington Fairgrounds is to be made
an annual affair, and the teachers are
already making plans to have a much
larger display next year. There was a
large attendspce Of friends of the
playground movement before the five

FIRST ANNUAL SHOW
Showcases Contain Examples of the

An exhibit Of the work accomplished by

the District Fairgrounds Department.
who has had charge of arrangements for
this display. This is the first annual ex-
hibit of the childrens work to be held.
II will be kept open through the week.
There are five large showcases filled
with some astonishingly credible products
of the children's industry. The display
is said to represent about one-twelfth of
the work done at the twelve city play
grounds, and to be a much smaller frac-
ton of what might have been accom-
rlished were the appropriations for the
department larger.

Among the articles in the five large
cases, there is a baby dress Of hand
made crochet lace and delicate embroid-

the exhibit yesterday pronounced as ex-
cellent a baby creation as can be pur-
chased in any OF the Washington stores.
Marie ConnelL, a little girl attending the
Garfield Park playground. made this
dress.
There is another baby dress which
drew almost as much favorable COM
ment from those who saw il. To those
of the visitors. at least. who were IN
learned in the ways and technique OF
baby dresses, this production seemed as
lettE-perfect as anything displayed in
the windows on F and G Streets. Miss
May Roper. who was in charge of the
display during the afternoon, was asked
how much 1t cost the Fairgrounds de-
partment to furnish materials for such
a piece Of work. She answered: Twenty
cents The Questioner gasped and with

BASE BALL FOR C0NvlCTS
Jersey Authorities Permit Playing OF
Game-Prisoners Happy.

Game-Prisoners Happy.
Newton, N. j., July 26.-Base ball
has brought peace to the nearby camp
of convicts employed on state roads,
and peace of mind to the guards.
The introduction of the game was
sanctioned just when the success OF the
experiment of using convicts on the
highways seemed threatened by the
restlessness of the prisoners during
their idle hours.
Some of the convicts began a game
of pitch and catch" with round
stone for a ball. An overseer bought
them a real base ball and their delight
was like that of children.
With the permission of the state
prison authorities an entire base ball
outfit was later purchased at Newton
store and the convicts formed them
selves into two teams under their re-
spective captains.
An open field near the camp has
been selected for the diamond, and
games are now held every evening,
while the guards, with rifles across
their knees, watch from the bleach
ers.
Well-fed, with open-air sleeping
quarters and plenty of exercise, the
convicts have lost their prison palor,
are becoming bronzed and strong, and
appear greatly benefited, both in mind
and body, by their outdoor work.
