IMPORTANCE OF PLAY
 AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
More Than 400 American Cities Main
 taining Supervised PIayarounds

The educational importance of play and physical education is one of the points that appeals to those who are urging the proposal that the town Of Norwich shall operate the playgTounds and institute physical instruction in the class rooms-both being under the supervision of a trained supervisor en- ployed throughout the year by the School Board.
 They find that the educational signifi- so taken hold of American cities that more than four hundred of them are maintaining supervised 'playgrounds. two-thirds of these the playgrounds are maintained in whole or in part by public expense.
 The influence of play according to conditions Is working for or against the ideals that should prevail in school or home. Children learn play as they learn other things--by imitation. They must be active. They all have the "in- stinct" for play but the form" it takes, whether in the city or the coun- try varies from the wholesome games learned on the playground, to quarrel some contests, with hostility, suspicion and abusive language, and to purpose less dfsuse of time. Physical culture and organized play should be large factors in the educa- tiona1 process. and are in many cities. Strong bodies are the basis of active
 mental processes. The ancient Greeks
 understood this better than we. Phys icaI instruction and supervised play formed the most important part of the education of the children of the Greek nation-the very people from whom we have derived our most cherished ideals-in mental culture. Many of our cities are back to this point of view and are paying careful attention to physical culture in the schools. Growing boys and girls need plenty of fresh air and exercise. They need | 1t as & part of the school curriculum, and to an extent after the confinement l indoors. as we'll as in the summer. Physical culture and supervised play grounds mean the right opportunt- ties for vigorous exercise. Active and
 virile boys and young men and vigor- | ous and healthy girls and young wo- 1 men thrive in a city that makes health
 and good outdoor habits matters of ed- ucation.
 In the work and play of childhood | and in the team games of youth-when played right-are the first lessons in citizenship. Joseph Lee of the Boston | School Committee has well said. "The
 boy without e playground is father to
 the man without a job.

HARD WORDS FOR UPTON SINCLAIR
His Mourning" Should Be Suppressed,
Declares an Angry Reader.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II seems to me a disgrace to our
city that such notoriety seeking freaks
as Upton Sinclair and his women follow
ers should be allowed to carry on their
mourning picketing," or other forms OF
persecution, against a citizen who hap
pens to have incurred their enmity. Sup
pose such a performance were directed
against ourselves and not promptly sup
pressed by the authorities Would we not
feel intensely and justly indignant?
And, still worse, why should Violent
female anarchist be permitted 10 publicly
hurl her filthy abuse against citizen ana
threaten his life? The only proper place
for such virago is the jail or the insane
asylum
AS for Upton Sinclair and his silly hun
ger strike, it is great pity he did not re-
ccive a two months sentence and then be
encouraged TO hunger strike to the limit
AS it is, he will get out so soon as merely
to derive physical benefit from giving his
stomach little rest, enabling him TO bet
ter enjoy a feast. And, above all, will he
enjoy the cheap notoriety that he and his
kind so dearly love. W. c. c.
