The most practical result Of com

the gathering together of young

lines.

8. To develop life through the

4. To develop systematic voca-

mind, soul and body.
We have. thwarted nature by TAX
ing her child and irnprisoning him
In great cities. where he cannot
hear the song Of the bird. the muir
muring OF the pines. the laughter
OF the waters. Where he cannot
inha!e the odor OF the wild flowers
or catch the aroma from fields Of
hossoming clover or new mown
hay. We have taken him where he
cannot climb the fruit tree, the
NOW or the straw stack: where he
cannot chase the butterfly, search
for the wild berry or the hidden
nest.
Instead of giving the child natures

a barren schoolroom. We have
taken all possible precaution TO see
that certain spots In his brain should

have compelled him to pore over a
book as barren as the desert Of
Sahara is OF flowers.
We have put him to studying
processes before he knows the
thing on which the process hinges.
The yearning for the beautiful has
always been a marked characteristic
OF the race. and to develop beauty
In all Its many phases ought to be
our aim. This is what we are all
accomplishing in our nationwide
child study clubs.
