what college study have you found
of least value" "Of what have you
most felt the lack in your college
education?" For ten years and more
the Association Of Collegiate Alumne
has given intensive study to the
proper relation, first, of domestic
science, laterS Of vocationa! training,
TO the college curriculum. Even
though after all these years Of discus
sion the prevailing, indeed, the over
whelming, opinion is in favor OF keep
ing the great guiding lines of college
study essentially unchanged, general
recognition of the primacy Of utility in
the higher sense has resulted.
Education, higher education above all,
should certainly prepare, and prepare
directly, for life, for elaboration, de-
cision, action, achievement, in the con-
crete! 1t is the felt lack of this dy-
manic quality in liberal education, and
the instructive demand for it, which
excuses and explains the calumniation
of the collegian. Ideas are valuable
as they are valid, and as they are
springs of action. 1t is this interpreta-
tion of the "life of the mind" that lib
eral education must, believe, follow,
if it is to survive. Language, literature,
history, philosophy, economies must be
made practical in that they must give
sense OF values, background of judg-
ment for the issues Of life. l have

are repudia,irg the collegian and his
former ideals The collegian was al
WAYS illuminated. Has not the feck-
less booIworm, the specialized blue
stocking, always rivalled the popular
ity Of the mother-in-law as a subject
for Jokes? But this aspcrsion against
learning was that Of the man in the
street, genial and without conviction;
while to-day it is college authorities
who organize the vastly popular COM
mencement exercises described by Miss
Hardness, at which, with appropri-
ate scientific comment" a young wom-
an does family washing, one youth
cuts up a dead sheep and another
breaks in colts.
Well, for all the critics horror, and
for all my agreement with her, !. for
one, see at least this great gain in the
new practical" movement; yes, even
to the bronco-busting- its very
popularity and dramatic appeal compel
those vowed to other ideals to clarity
their own intentions and give reason
for the faith that is in them. What
is the college for? The strength Of
the enemy is that he sees his objec-
tive clearly. ability to take ones part
in Industry" ability to administer a
household, are definite limited ends
that can be pursued by definite, lin
tied means. But the liberal education
has no such definite purpose. "The
life Of the mind" can be so variously
interpreted as a passive culture,
a means to an interesting life l"My
mind to me kingdom isl, now as
for old age, now as a
lightener Of laborious days-"Keats
for the kitchen" as Mr.. Lawrence Abb
bolt puts it; again as a creative activ-
ity for the advancement Of knowledge;
finally as a constructive activity for
social ends,
The acid test Of the practical"
theories of education has indeed been
working on the liberal" for a long
time. For ten years and more the
college women, at least, have been
searching their hearts and their ex-
perience to find out what the true in
tention of the college should be. In
Vulnerable the missionaries among

study has proved most helpful to you?"

beginning to end. But look at them
here
We looked, and the first thing that
impressed itself upon US was the
twenty girls and four boys lined up
at the curbstone, playing a game Of
catch with the leader pitching from the
street. The boys were no more aston
ished at finding themselves there than
were the girls, and the girls were not
at all. But the inevitable question
arose. "Why do not the other boys
call these sssies, and is not this likely
to detract from their real boyishness ?"
Mr.. Liebler and Miss Ruth Richter.
who is at the head of the play streets
committee of the Peoples Institute,
both laughed. "Why don't the boys
call them sissies? ?" said Mr.. .Liebler.
Because they wouldn't dare. And
that is because it is just those boys
who are not sissies who do play with
the girls. II anyone made fun Of
some Of the strongest and big
gest boys just because they played
with girls they'd lick the whole lot,
just to show they were not sissies.
And as far as making them weak and
feminine Is concerned, there is no
foundation to the belief. Do you think
il can possibly harm boys TO play with
girls, or vice versa"
Miss Richter, a young Bryn Mawr
graduate, who has been doing research
work in the study of juvenile de-
linouency, is cautious and moderate,
but she has very great hopes as TO the
negative aspect OF these play streets.

y evinces any desire to play
bean bag with the girls in
stead of popsy with the boys, neither
the boys nor the girls think it strange.
In this fact lies the exoneration for
the play street experiment. Teaching,
or rather permitting, little girls and
boys and their next older sisters and
brothers to play together in innocent
amusement will remove that pernicious
thing which is at the root of the dance
hall problem. LET boys and girls be-
come accustomed to each other. Let
them think of each other as playmates,
and not as mysterious creatures whom
they may not know until they grow
older, and foolish and sentimental, and
much Of vice problem will be removed"
said Mr. Charles Liebler, superinten-
dent and organizer Of play streets.
"In New York City" said Mr.. Lieb-
ler, receiving a piece of chalk which
one of these scrupulous kiddies. who
were swarming happily on East 18th
Street, had returned to him. an New
York City boys have little or no oppor-
tunity to play with girls. When they
are very young it is utterly beneath
their dignity to play with them. AT the
next stage they are ashamed TO because
of the belief that sentimentality
must be the handspring Of their ac-
ton. When they are older they resort
to the dance halls to become acquainted
with these mysterious beings whom
shame of one sort or another has pre-
vented them from seeking out before
Surely this is very unnatural from

vicious movies. They will have firm
and natural friendship which will make
them forget the subject Of sex in their
everyday relations.
And that, by the way. is another big
thing which the play street will do. 1t
will keep boys and girls from movies,
which serve only to excite them and
vitiate their tastes. 1t will show them
the way of self-amusement, so that
they won't have to resort to movies and
dance halls when they grow older"
Seventy-sixth Street, at the time Of
our visit, had on it about one hundred
and twenty-five children, boys and girls,
of all ages, from the tiny little child
whose big brother never left her to
the big school girl who was contem-
plating putting her hair up. There
was a good deal of noise, but 1t was
Of such a happy quality that one was
surprised to learn what large number
Of children we're playing in q small
space. They were jumping chalk
marks, they were playing ball with a
soft ball, they were skipping the rope,
playing red-rover. and all the other
games which a child enjoys-and not
a single game which the child does not
enjoy.
No one forces these children to do
anything. They are not taught any
thing, except that they must do as they
please. These children when they first
entered the streets stood about help
lessly. Teacher. whatIl do now ?"
Teacher. please make me play" were
the absurd remarks which assaulted
the ears of the offended helpers.
1t was a bitter fact TO learn that

these children did not know how to
play when everything was made easy
for them. Play centres Of the public
schools teach them this game and that
game, but fail to encourage initiative.
On this street the children may and
must play whatever they please. No
one will push and urge them.
At each end of the street is a sign,
"Play Street; No Traffic" And to en-
force this strict law there are kind
policemen who sometimes forget their
dignity sufficiently to skip rope with
the children.
What would these children be doing IL
they were not playing on this street,
Many of them learning to become Grim
inals, believes the committee. In the
first place, it is against the law for a
child to play on the streets. II ne
plays ball he is a misdemeanant, and
after a few offences he is sent TO the
penitentiary, and that is the end Of
him.
But, worst Of all, he is learning tho
criminal feeling. He is spending his
time playing ball, lodging the police
man. And during waits he goes into
alleys and plays craps. A boy must
play. so must a girl. II IL is made
illegal for him TO play the natural and
pleasant games of childhood ne will
substitute something else.

time in his life he is fearless d
