dispensary abuse. 1t was discovered
that one-half Of the physicians Of
Philadelphia receive for Office consuta-
lions only 30 cents, and another fourth
20 cents, on account of reckless free
prescribing at the dlspensaries.
The fault lies mainly with the dis
pensary managers, who appear not to
have at heart the interest Of the med
ical profession. The doctor has al
ways been imposed upon. and he does
not In this emergency even rise to as
sert his rights by refusing to attend

Ordinarily the little fellows do not baye mucl, of 4 showing at the Chau tauoIa. They like the music and the entertainment, but they do not think much of the lecturers.
 And you cannot blame them-it is outside of their sphere.
 But this Chautauqua Is not going to he without it's points of attracriv=ness and interest to the little folk. There Is q specially organized department that is called the Children's Chautau qua It was first put into operation some three or more years ago and has grown to be as necessary part of the Chautauqua as the lecturers.
 There is nothing which in any sense may be called experimental or trivial The Childrens Chautauqua consists of organized play under the direction oc q vc,unc lady supervisor who is train ed specialist in thac line of work.
 Organized and directed play, includ ing Children's Hour exercises, story tellina competitive games and the like, all worked on scientific plan, has proved to be the greatest educational discovery vf centuries fin the field of children; moral and mental develop ment.
 Each iuorning of the Assembly there xill be held in the auditorium tent the Children's Chautauqua: The young lady supervisors Yill meet with the children and organize them into groups. tin. boys and girls of certain ages into one group and those of other ages into other groups. Each group will have it's own particular program and enter tainment There will be something for the. big boys and :'ttle boys, big girls and little girls The age limit is from four to fourteen and older than that If i the children should care to come.
 In the afternoons the younger chil dren will be entertained by stories and games outside the tent-those children who are too young to enjoy the regu lar program
 The young lady supervisors are pro fessionals and do this sort of work the year around, for which they com a2tnd high salaries. They make a | study of children and their interests They know how to appeal to boys and girls of all ages and types. and before the Chautauqua is over the most pop uTar person In that community and the one who has really done the most good is the young lady who has had charge of the Children's work
