THE CHOICE.

Three angels in my dreams one night
Upon sudden few in sight,
And offered me forcvermorc
The choice of three gifts that they bore.
And one had Health,
And one had Wealth,
And one had goody cheer
] chose for mine
The third in line,
And wisely, that is clear,
For soon l saw
By some wise law
That Nature worketh through
That they who ride
The sunny side
Soon win the other two.

In its simplest forms the home usually consists
of two persons They are usually husband and
wife. They may also be mother and son or mother
and daughter father and daughter, or many
other combinations.
Here the two seem to have comparatively lit

is to bear with the other, that is. to get with
the other comfortably and happily Fortunate

those people who grow fonder with association

familiarity, instead of breeding contempt, increases
regard. They are likely to be those generous
spirits who receive nourishmcnt from all their
associations. each year keeping their wholesome

richer.
On the other hand there are those who de-
mand greater variety OF association. If they have

resentful.
There are few sights in the world more dispirit-
ing than that of married couple who have cx-
hausted their interest in each other and who drag
wearily through life like prisoners bound to a
chain. The home that they make no matter how
great may be the physical comfort, is certain to
be the abode of disillusion and chagrin and it is
likely to express itself in misery and disaster.

1t is where family consists OF several mem

larger groups there is almost certain to be at least
ono ovcrbcarng spirit, one tyrant. We all know
OF families where several OF many langush under

The situation is all the more pathetic where
there is rebellion And where rebellion exists
there is to be disCord, either suppressed or

One OF the tragedies OF home liic results from
the widespread human misunderstanding And Of
all misunderstanding there is none saddcr than
that between parents and children 1t is the irony
OF nature to make great many people, AS they
age, grow stodCy. In their development tl.cy seem
to stop a certain period now here, now there
For them the ideas OF that period the only
true ideas. Meanwhile the children come along
breathing in the ideas OF today and asserting them
with exactly the surcncsS and authority.
There seems to be some excuse for the chill
drcn, the excuse OF youth. Perhaps. however, the
excuse for the parents is just as valid and much
more pathetic, the excuse OF age
Much thought is taken nowadays about the i'm
portance OF preparing people to become parents
But there is also the importance seldom thought
about, OF training parents to endure and so SYM
pahize with their children when the children have
become old enough to think for themselves.

WAR SITUATION.

A report has been received
through Athens to the effect that
German artillery on Lake Dorian
about forty miles northwest of
Saloniki, has shelled the Anglo
French lines in. Greek Macedonia.
Observers say this might easily
mean that the looked-for advance
by the forces of the Central Pow
ers against the allied base at Sa-
loniki is about to begin. 1t is
thought the Teutons are prepar-
ing a huge army for the oper-
atoms. One correspondent says
the Greek Government has de-
cided not to let Teuton forces
penetrate into Greek territory
unless the Central Powers guar
nntee that Greek territory will
not be endangered.

opportunities for little lunches

for both of them exercises that
involve foresight and planning,
and and unkindered freedom to
play games in their own way.
In such plays are rich possibili-
ties. To most children before
ten years of age, it means more
than books and lessons and for
NAL questioning and teachers.
To the child it is all play and on
ly play. In the eyes of the adult
society-the home, the public
and the teacher, it is, or should
be, purposed and carefully
planned.
Educative as these activities
are, is there any more reason
why the state at public expense
should provide for the future
exercise of its children in the
formal lessons of the school,
than through games, and free,
generous, spontaneous play?
Indeed, it has passed beyond the
stage of experiment,-the need
the state is under to provide for
the profitable spending of their
leisure by the unemployed. Parks
and pleasure grounds and excur-
sions and open air sports and
country tours and visits for the
neglected children and laborers

tertainments provided by church

individual and the community
through the conservation of
physical, mental and moral vital
ity. A few principles it may be
well to have it mind as interpre-
ting what shall be said Cd all
play is educative; (2) some plays
are more fruitful of good intel
lectual and moral effect than 9TH
ers; 90 this fact if established,
carries with it the obligation un-:
der which. Society's elders rest
to direct the plays of youth, and
especially of children; "a this
once recognized, made the kim

time other directed games.
ALI pure play is educative pri-
marily beause all activity is ed
ucative. Life is changed-im-
proved or ruined-through what
it cannot go on learning and
suffering and coveting; and con-
quering or failing, and remain
the same. Play is more ed
ucative to the average child than
labor, to the extent that the
former is more spontaneous and
absorbs his interest in a large
degree. tits a natural means of
either expressing or satisfying
natural wants. The cramping
muscle and over-full blood vessel
regain their equal balance
through seemingly aimless jump
ing, and:kswinging, and rolling
and throwing; through bodily
contortions, and incessant pos
turing through wrestling. and
fishing and shooting; through
top-spinning and kite-fying and
ball-playing; through hammer
ing, and cutting and whiting,
through making toys and unmak-
ing them. But it is love or hate
that counts for something; ones
hopes and achievements, ones
interests and undertakings;
ones games and tricks and mis-
chiefs; teasing and being teased,
each has its value in the sum-
ming up of life. But here again
what invites the play spirit and

younger ones, lap games for
those older; prisoners base,
basketball, riddles and puzzles
make like contributions. Most
of the so-called athletic games
cultivate the judgment and fix
habits of GOODNESS and self-con-
troll even under exasperating
circumstances. This is partic-
ularly true of cooperative games
and tests of strength and skill,
las bat ball. foot ball, tennis,
cricket etc. 1t is less true of
jumping, running. bowling and
the ordinary gymnastic feats.
These may train the Judgment.
but they lack the instant appeal
for decision that comes in COM
bination with others. How sharp
and ready must be the magma
ton in such games as Buried
Cities" charades, conundrums,
tableaux, storytelling, panto-
mines, What is my thought
like? Yes2and no." etc. Some
games cultivate quickness of dis
elimination and readiness of per-
ception. Such are fencing, the
more exciting forms of ball, FIVE
minute conversations Qor older
persons) drop the handkerchief,
buttons and animal games, etc.
Others cultivate reflection, as in
chess, or memory and judgment
as in cards. f5SSS %
Ofcoursei it needs only be men
toned that, for younger children,
the outdoor games are to be pre-
ferred, not alone because they
take one into the open air; but
also because of the greater free
dom of the body, and a CORE
spending sense of freedom of
mind. These open air games,
and, better still, the plays of
childhood, carry with them u.s.
ually a consciousness of oppor-
tunity; room for choice and VEN
ture; a chance for experiment
and exploration and discovery,
that make the boy an adventurer
at once. Here is the personal
initiative" beginning to show
up in the boy or girl that counts
for so much in later years. It is
worth encouragement. The
child becomes inventive and self
helpful, if thrown upon his own
resources with only nature to co.
operate, And this leads me to
say that there is much to fear in
a stock of ready-made toys.
They are too likely to afford the
child simply passive amusement.
They exercise no constructive
faculty; nor the destructive,
which is quite as natural. Most
of them lack variety that soon
pals upon the child. Most ready
made toys are sugar coated med
icines and diluted lessons-the
lesson is ruined for a lesson, and
the sweetening is so small in
amount as to be aggravating.
The interest in costly and COM
plicated, toys and pictures, ex-
pensive dolls and intricate ma
chimes, is transient and artificial.
