Teach Children to Play.

A full-time course in play and re-
creation, under the direction Of
George Ellsworth Johnson, formerly
superintendent OF the Pittsburgh
Playground association, Is announced
in a recent special bulletin Of the
New York School Of Philanthropy.
THE beginning Of the present cen
tury," says the bulletin, In explaining
the need Of such teachers, has been
marked by a civic, social and educa-
tional movement, which has progress
ed with wonderful rapidity. This is
the movement for a normal, healthful
play life Of the people. This is the
modern Renaissance, the Renaissance
of play. Repeatedly In the history OF
the world the spirit Of play has pre-.
ceded, or marked, a period of great
human advancement. as In the period
of the glory of Athens, the age OF
Lorenzo IN Florence, the rise of chiv'
airy, and the awakening Of the Faith
erland."

not turn to him. She stood half
turned away, her eyes %downcast, her
lips parted into half a smile. Her
breath came fast and she could feel
her heart beat. Then she heard him
say In a lower tone, 30 gently:
Nothing to say, Gloria? Can't you
believe me?"
She turned to find herself gazing
into his eyes.
