books to children practically strapped In strait
jackets to fixed seats. The public was wrong in
assuming that children could be educated while
sitting in school seats five hours day and work
ing with books for 100 days, regardless of what
they might be doing in the other nineteen hours Of
the school days, and the other l75 days of the
year Instruction that is necessary for success,
for the average pupil at the present time re-
quires a good working knowledge of English,
mathematics and science. A knowledge of civcs,
literature and history is one Of the factors in
determining the conditions under which we pursue
our vacations.
at must be remembered, furthermore that pre-
vocational training should cover the entire ele-
mentary and high school courses. Also that play
is just as vital factor in pre-vocstional training
as work is for older children. In the normal de-
velopment of the child that type of pre-voca-
tional training is best which naturally and grad
ually transforms the play-impulse into a work
impulse The children cannot play unless they
have a place to play in and things with which to
play. By using part of the customary annual
classroom budget for Fairgrounds, gymnasiums
and swimming pools the City of New York can
easily give every child the opportunity to play
providing they do not all play at the same time.
Without much difficulty, | repeat New York can
provide place for children to work. in the school,
by taking for workshops and equipment about
one-fourth of the space now devoted to class
rooms and their equipment. For purposes of play
we need only three things-play space, play
equipment and director. For work. we need, in
addition to workroOms and shop equipment, a
master workman and real work TO do"
Mr.. Writ then described specifically some phases
Of the work done by the model schools of Gary,
where he has oversight and direction. The "busi-
ness departments" of the schools there have been
industrial laboratories for the last seven years,
he says, and it has been conclusivey demon
strated that the usual current school maintenance
and equipment budgets Of the average city will
provide ample facilities for the industrial and
commercial education of the children. The facili-
ties provided at Gary not only varied and
adapted to the individual child's needs, but they
constitute real work, work that must be done; and
the children who do it receive direct benefits, be-
cause they are working for themselves, to keep
up their own school, and for this reason they feel
that they are participating in real industrial
business, in environment similar to that Of
the odtme industrial home and community.
Each of the schools at Gary spends annually
several thousand dollars for plumbing, painting,

The Play of "Trilby."

BY SIG.
We went to see a piece
called "Trilby" the other
eve. partly because it is
more about music than act
ing and the siren strains of
Apollo Belvedere are still
our most enthusiastic recre-
alton even when compelled
to listen to operas and such
and anyway we assert with
out fear of successful con-
tradiction that we know as
much about drama anyway
as Artie does about dancing
which is not so very polite
to ourselves after all.
But we would say that
Mr.. W. Lackaye is a very
fine pianoist, playing don't
you remember sweet Alice
enbold or such dance tunes
as the Marcelline with equal
grace and abandon and a
worry good teacher of vocal
also although we do not APP
prove of his method but as
a leader of the orchestra
we are compelled to say
kindly but firmly very poor,
Wilton, very poor.
This play is all about
people that are really
painters and altogether pos
ers pretending to be actors
and dressing themselves all
up in funny ways such as
Mr.. b. Mcintosh the W. k.
photographer in rope
whiskers and Mr.. G.. Nc
Farland who sings almost
as pretty as Trilby herself
without having to be hyp-
Noticed either and he wears
different colored door-mats
on his face and his waist
and part of the time a long
nose but Mr.. Mackaye keeps
his on all through, and Mr..
B. lyman is disguised as a
good-looking young man
named Billy and Mr.. l..
Dietrichstein as a French
man and Miss r. Coghlan
as a French woman only
