forty yearsswith Israel In the wilder

prepared for the ordeal only by the
experiences of the preceding eighty
years of his life.
The adopted son of the Egyptian
princess, Moses must have been a
court favorite. and in danger of cult
waiting pride and arrogance. AS an Of
set, he had continually before him the
fact that his features were Jewish.
and that thus every one had knowledge
of his identity with the despised and
oppressed people. The tendency would
naturally be toward one OF two
courses: Either he would seek to ig

and more identified with the Egyp-
tians, or else he would exercise faith

trusting in the Lords Promise,
Moses believed that the time had come
for the deliverance Of the Israelites
from bondage. He knew well Of his
miraculous preservation, and had the
assurance of Gods Promise that this
signifed that God had special work
for him to do. He was anxious to be-
gin that work. He knew not Of his
own nreadiness-that he would require
forty years more Of special schooling.
An occasion to show his zeal for his
brethren came when he saw an Egyp-
tian abusing one of them. Moses
threw himself into the scuffie. The
Egyptian was killed. Moses perceived
that none of the Egyptians knew of
the matter. so he quietly buried the
victim In the sand. He doubted not
that his brethren would realize that he
was their friend and defender, and
would look to him with confidence as
their leader, when Gods providence
would open the door for them to leave
Egypt.
But all his dreams faded when. next

that they were ready to deliver him

ing the best thought of many of the
brainiest men and women OF the ma
tions who have at heart the welfare
of the child in the midst. They nave
long ago ceased to be an experiment,
and in every progressive community
are regarded as a necessity for the
moral and physical development OF
bows and girls who must so soon take
upon their shoulders the heavier
duties and responsibilities OF life.
Saws one writer on this subject:
The chief characteristic of child

for work. as important to him as

drawing powers seek their first out
| let through play and thus gain power
for successful work in later life.
This is no mere theory, but an estab-
lished fact.
Play and games have four distinct
values-physical moral, social and
educational. "A child who plays in
a half-hearted, slovenly way is likely
to perform his life duties the same
way" The spirit of freedom and JOY
of the playground carried to the
school room or work bring the high
est type of work. Those who are
looking for the best results know
that we must give the joys chance
in our workaday world as well as
the duties. 1t takes both to make
weIl-rounded life. Mr.. H. S Cur
tbs in his address on playground
work SAYS: THE playground after
all. is an economy cheaper than jails,
reform schools, etc. 1t has been
proven by statistics that where play
grounds have been established and
directors put in charge the number
of arrests among boys has been les
sened to a great extent. Solicitude
for childhood is one of the signs OF
civilization, says one thoughtful
writer and we can all agree with
Judge Clements mat the, noOlest
work known to humanity is the look
ing after them in environment Where
thew NAV develop into healthy ana
clean citizens. The child is the nope
of the country, and play is unques-
tionablv. according to the highest
authorities. the strongest influence IN
his formative years. Gov. Hughes OF
New York, in his admirable ADDRESS
on the subject, utters this truth: IF
a bov or girl is to take easily to NOR
al instruction, to listen to the voice
of conscience. he or she must nave
a wholesome life. a few hours IN the
fresh air, few hours of self-aban-
don in innocent fun, a chance 10 De

a playground will be without any
great effort one of the regeneratlng
and uplifting forces of the communi-
w." States and municipalities, at
last awake to their obligations, are
making appropriations for recreatlVe
purposes. Up to 1908 New YORK
had spent over SIS, 100000 on play
grounds. Chicago has spent ST.
100000. and in the far west the
movement is we'll under way, cities
and towns bonding themselves for
the support of parks and play
grounds. To conserve the health OF
people is to make them stronger
mentally and morally as well. Boy
hood and girlhood must have vent
in play. 1t is natural; it is right.
And now what are we people IN
Dawson going to do about it? we
have all seen the autOmobile-ridden
streets crowded with the children OF
the town trying to play, but how pitt
full the effort in our narrow streets.
''Keep them at home in the back
