KITE FLYING CREATES
SPIRIT OF INVENTION
By BOYLE HYBARGER.

Kite making and kite flying have
been enjoyed for centuries in the orr
ent and for good many years in this
country and will perhaps continue as
seasonal sport for all time. It can
be made more interesting and useful
by little cooperation on the part Of
the grown ups.
Kite making arouses the inventive
spirit of the boy and fills in many
otherwise idle hours with good healthy
sport that occupies the children out
of doors. 1t Is not time wasted un-
less INDUCED in to excess, but new
developments bring about new studies
of the kite problem that are as good
for boys as problems Of other subjects
like arithmetic and geometry; for we
must remember that boys have sub
jects of study not found in textbooks.
Otter boys need more persistency Of
effort and must be held to their jobs
by much attention on the part OF
overseers. Boys will stick to kite
making against great encouragement
