parts Of the world. particularly OF the

Studies to Teach Children Jyousness and Expression in Play
RY M. E. THOMAR.

The school ground should be the public
playground says Miss Pansy Higgins,
who has been making a study of children
and the proper exercises for them while
attending school.
Every playground should have proper
equipments and teachers who have taken
a course OF training in the playground
work, that is interesting games and eX-
ercises, should be in charge of these
Fairgrounds. These already belong to
the public, so why spend valuable funds
TO buy special Fairgrounds while the
public school grounds are not being used,
instead spend the money to train the
teachers in this great movement" says
Miss Higgins.
Miss Higgins, who has been awarded a
scholarship in the government school Of
gymnastics at Copenhagen, Denmark, is
the only American girl this year TO re-
ceive this scholarship and has been
chosen by Miss Dagny Petersen of CO.
penhagen TO continue her work in Chi
cago as Miss Pedersen's successor. Miss
Petersen and Miss Higgins have COM
pleted book based on physiology, which
will be published this fall.

Danish system of exercises in the school
supplant the German system. which Miss
Higgins and Miss Petersen contend is too
strenuous for the average child in school.
Il hated school, didn't you?" asked
Miss Higgins. And I wondered how she
won scholarships and honors but l soon
found that she loved her work now and
her enthusiasm and faith in her work
will certainly win her greater success.
1t is not uncommon to see the Danish
men and boys take off their hats as they
pass their former school I'm reverence,
admiration and loyalty to the place where
they received their education and spent so
many pleasant hours. To make the Amer
lean school children like school is one Of
the greatest movements OF the age, Z"
says Miss Higgins, "and the only way
10 accomplish it is to establish the DAN
ish games, which are really interesting
exercises, in the school curriculum, and
not make the young child, full OF youth

In Electric Park.

Two years ago, when we had been Wis

sylvania, we stayed few days in Kan
sas City, Mo-, on our way back home.
because mamma and papa used TO live
there
One evening we went to Electric park,
which fully lives up 70 its name, for
there are electric lights everywhere, and
all the amusements are run by electricity.
The first thing we did was to go
through q place called "Ye Olde MILL" in
81 boat which was run on an electric cable,
as there was water underneath US. On
either side of us were snakes and
dragons. with red, green or blue electric
lights for eyes. There were also Skele-
tons, wrecked ships, etc, and in one
place sat the devil, on a huge throne.
A faint red light was over everything,
and. taken altogether it was very good
representation of hades.
Next, we walked into the huge red
mouth of an alligator, from which
sounds were issuing forth. and when we
had gone but a few feet we turned a
corner and found ourselves in utter
darkness. We went down a narrow pas
sageway, when we came to n treadmtll,
which kept turning backwards, and the
only way We could get over was by pull
ing ourselves up on an iron rod at the
side. Safely over, we went little fur
ther, and came to place which, 1 sup
pose, was to represent the alligator's
"wind-pipe," because a current OF air
ran through the place and the boards
of the floor were on hinges, all crinkled
up to look like waves of air in motion.
Every step we took, they dropped down
ward. with a jolt that knocked the
breath out Of us.
Next, we arrived at a place where sew
eral boards were gone from the floor
and what there were, we're set haphaz-
ard, so that we had to be extremely
careful not to step in a hole and fall
down.
Of course, this was all in complete dark
ness, and we were mighty glad when,
after ascending some shaky steps and
going through a very large barrel, which,
lying on its side, was turning round and
round, we stepped out of the alligator.
Just as we stepped off, it. gave a loud
toot. which, being unexpected, made us
all jump.
We did not ride on the Scenic Rail-

round, and tiny toy train, eating some
ice cream and listening to the band play,
