~. that that knowledge of human ma
ture and those habits Of social adj
; justment upon which success or fail

the field OF childhood's activities
Success in any business the child

capital and technical knowledge bun
upon his habits of social adjustment
Qualities essential TO social leader
ship are developed or stunted in the
child while at play-his sense of social
values is the product of the social
sentiment of his group, a sentiment
that is by far the most powerful ar
bitter of his every act. So, to me, the
is not the size of the plot of ground
nor the elaborateness of its equip
ment, but the presence and personali
ty OF the play directoi-a director who
will lead the children to set for them
selves the best spiritual, mental, and
physical standards.
Formerly the playground move
ment was discussed as a philanthropic
endeavor to secure breathing spaces
| for the children of congested districts
and so was treated from the stand
point of social pathology rather than
of social education. Even now it is
frequently lauded by the press as a
means of preventing bad children
from becoming worse rather than as
an essential factor in the education OF
the normal child But the emphasis
has shifted from the play space to the
play director and to the educational
value of play. This increases the
value of the movement and makes it
as important for the small town, the
country school, and rural community
as for the city.

PULLMAN RATES GO UP
Eastern Line Passengers Wanting
Wanting Drawing Rooms Must
Pay Double Fare.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Beginning
tomorrow, two can live as cheaply as
one at least insofar as riding in Pull
man car drawing rooms is concerned,
for an order increasing the cost of
high living goes into effect on all the
large railroads. Ordinarily Pullman
berth rates are not effected but where
a single passenger wants a drawing
room compartment all to himself he
will have to pay 2, az or times the
railroad fare plus the Pullman rate, ac-
cording to the road and train.
On the New York Central lines no
drawing room or compartment will be
sold to a passenger who has not pur-
chased two railroad tickets, and those
who wish such Accommodations on the
Empire State Limited between New
York City and Buffalo will have to
buy three tickets. The Pennsylvania
lines will hereafter require the pur-
chase of tickets aggregating 212 times
the regular fare between two points
before selling drawingroom to a
passenger
None of the increase will go to the
Pullman company, whose contracts
with the various roads remain in force.
The increase was not ordered or insti-
gated by the interstate commerce COM
mission and the sole duty of that body
will be to see that the new rule is en-
forced impartially.

VICE HOUSE CLOSES.
Reform Wave mt st. Louis Will Result
in Closing Up the TenderlOin.

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 2S.-All vice houses
in ST. Louis were to be closed tonight
at midnight, according to the gradual
elimination plan" of the board of po-
lice commissioners. who started the
movement to clear out the tenderloin
early in the year. About 1875 inmates
were expected to be driven from the
houses tonight.
The ST. Louis policy began with
clamping down thc lid tight on the
selling of liquor in the tenderloin.
Next came a schedule of ''early clos
ing" and forbidding music in the
houses. The last big movement of
the gradual plan" was the forcing OF
the telephone companies to remove all
telephones. The women have. in the
majority of cases, gone to Chicago and
other large cities.

children, we have asked Miss
Isabel Stephens, associate pro-
: lessor of education In the uni
yersity, to write us an article
dealing with the history and the
: educational value OF directed
play. Miss Stephens received
degree OF Bachelor of Science
from Columbia University in
: 1909; from 1909 1912, she was
director OF physical education at
Speyer School, Columbia Uni
yersity; 1911, 1912, she was SUI
peryisor of Model Fairgrounds
at Columbia University during
the summer session; in the fall
Of 1912 she accepted her pres
ent position in the Idaho Uni
yersity. Miss Stephens has full
charge of all the gymnasium
work for girls and Of all their
athletic activities outside the
gymnasium. She is mt present
giving an excellent course in
School Hygiene. The popular
ity Of this course is shown by
the fact that, whereas the first
year the registration for this
work was only two, it is this
year eighteen. The object of
this course and its scope will
be discussed in detail mt some
later date. Miss Stephens has
proved n very popular instruc-
tor and has entered whole
heartedly into the life of the .
university as well as into that
of the city. On number of
occasions she has responded
most generously to requests to .
aid the civic work of the various
clubs in Moscow, and by the .
many who thus made her ac- .
quaintance, her article will be
read with deep satisfaction and
profit. .

Benefits of the Playground Movement

the play activities of children before

physical and intellectual vigor and
alertness, to industrial, social and
moral efficiency - indeed nothing
taught in the schools bears more di-
rectly upon ones prosperity, efficiency
and nobility than does play when
utilized to the full. For in play one
must learn to get there to be square
all the time, to be his best at every
minute, to sacrifice personal success
in an emergency to the success of all.
