PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS (By Mrs. Dwight B. Heard)

Not being in personal touch with the public playground movement, the best method of presenting the matter seemed to be in the form of di- gest of an article on Public Recrea- ton by Charlotte Rumbold, together with some facts gleaned from other sources, and few personal sugges- tions from the side lines
 The modern playground movement originated in Germany, where the municipalities, in their painstaking way. tried to find out what the peo- ple needed, and tried to supply it. In the United States the plan is to edu- cate the people until they want the thing they need then they get it for themselves. After the laboratory study of play had shown it's impor- tance in race progress, German royal commission was sent to Eng land to watch the school boys sports. Four years after their report, 400 publicly supported playgrounds were established in Germany. One can see that the present German interest in games has not arisen from the interest Ol tue people dS have the English sports. The Ger man method is too coldly scientific to arouse much enthusiasm. They have arranged the games in a curri- culum, beginning with the Froebel glmes in the kindergarten. up to the university where an attempt has been made to have football replace dueling. For every age there is a specified game At the age of ten, such and such muscles need strength cning, such and such mental and moral qualities need cultivating- therefore, such and such gymnastic exercises must be given individually, and the boy must join such and such q team for team play. whether he wants to or not-and this last, from the American point of view. spells il all.

MiOsiOn Song.

Do you see the lleathens kneeling,
To their gods Of wood and stone;
To their gods who can not hear them,
And cannot for sin atone?
They are waiting for Gods message
That Gods people have in hand;
They are lost without the gospel.
In that dark benighted land
Do you hear the heathens crying,
For the gospel that we have;
Shall we tell them 0 my brotheri
Of that story sweet and old.
Or shall we with hold the message
That would save them from sin.
When our lord is leading forward,
And will help US then to win.
Do you see the Christians waiting
AS they heed not Gods command
When he bids us send the gospel
To that far off heather land?
OH the silver that we're holding
Would some missionary aid;
Let us do as He commanded,
That the work be not delayed.
Do you hear the Saviors message
AS he speaks TO one and all2
Go and tell them how love them,
Whosever will may call
Tell them how died to save them,
Tell them all about the cross;
Tell them Of the home in heaven,
When earths pleasure count but
less?''

For the past four years grain
drills have been in comparison with

oats. Oats have been put in before
October Is. Later seeding would
probably give preference to the open

Tests Sc far have given slightly
