Playground apparatus was
soiicited-a single instance be-.
ing given of a swing that the
principal bought and put up last
year, showing the need OF some
thing to interest the children in
the play period. The swing was
in constant use, children begging
for it ahead of time, and afford
ed the greatest pleasure to every
child in school. The children
spend two-thirds Of their time
at school, and it is a crying
shame that parents take such
little interest in helping to pro-
vide things for their amusement

Fried Chicken,

A Tennessee preacher says that a
man who would eat a fried chicken
that had been stolen is as guilty. as
the thief who stole It. There must
be some difference in culpability. a
man can certainly resist the temp
tation to steal chicken, but it would
be some Job to pass up the bird after
1t had been nicely fried and served
with a hoecake on the side.-Houston

common Fairgrounds are the
finest kind of developing agents
for sound citizenship. Children
of a community who learn to
play together in the right spirit
will work together later on in
the right spirit. This spirit of
working together in communi
ties of the South is a feature
that is sadly lacking now, and
should certainly be provided for
in the future, If our Southland

sun he wanted to go way over to the
Green Forest. He was always hav-
ing dreadful adventures and narrow
escapes over there. yet in spite of all
she could say he would persist in
going there. She didn't feel easy in
her mind one minute while he was
out Of her sight. To be sure he al
could't help feeling that some time
his dreadful curiosity would get him
into trouble that he couldn't get out
of, and SO every time he went to the
Green Forest she was sure, absolutely
sure. that she would never see him
again.
Peter used to laugh at her and tell
her that she was a foolish little dear,
and that he was perfectly able to take
care of himself. Then when he saw
how worried she was he would prom
ise to be very. very careful and never
do anything rash or foolish. But he
wouldn't promise not to go to the
Green Forest. No. sir, Peter wouldn't
promise that. You see, he has so
many friends over there and there is
always SO much news to be gathered
over there that he Just couldn't keep
away. Once or twice he had induced
Mrs. Peter, to go with him, but she
had been frightened almost out Of
her skin every minute, for it seemed
to her that there was danger lurking
behind every tree and under every
bush. 1t was all very we'll for Chat
terer the Red Squirrel and Happy
Jack. the Gray Squirrel, who could
jump from tree to tree. but she didn't
think 1t a safe and proper place for
a sensible rabbit, and she said So
This particular morning she was
unusually anxious. Peter had been
gone all night. Usually he was home
by the time Old Mother West Wind
came down from the Purple Hills and
emptied her children. the Merry Lit
play all day on the Green Meadows,
but this morning OLD Mother West
Wind had been a long time gone about
her business and still no sign Of
