Children do not play merely to
exercise the body, as many people
seem TO think Play also has as one
OF it's great objects tie DEVELOPMENT
OF the mind
In especial, play is helpful as cui'
tivating the precious faculty OF i'm
agination, that faculty so essential
TO happiness and success in later
life.
Any one can obtain proof OF this
by watching children at their games
nay, by watching a single child
playing with such a simple toy as
that comprised in few shingles.
The shingles themselves cannot
be of much interest 10 the child.
But they become of absorbing inter
est TO him by stimulating him TO
think up various entertaining uses
TO which they may be put.
And the child becomes still more
interested in them II father or
mother take a hand. suggesting pos
sibilities In the shingles which open
up new vistas TO the child's imag.
ination. and which set him enthusi-
astically at work using the shingles
in accordance with his new fancy
ing aoout them.
Blocks. dolls, drums, toy wagons
these are toys with which chill
dren can do things on their own
initiative, and which spur their
minds to imaginative action.
II Is possible. moreover, by care
ful selection of toys aud devising
novel games to utilize the play OF
children as an invaluable aid TO i'm
press on their minds the lessons
taught them in their schoolroom-
Through the stimulus thus given
to their imagination, their interest
In study and their memory and un-
derstanding OF what they study are
sure to be strengthened.
Here for example. Is glimpse
at the way one parent helped his
children to learn history:
MY small boys very early mani
tested what Is quite common in
small boys, the love of arms and
armor, and weapons and combat. BY
little direction their shields be
came ornamented with crosses and
their battles became crusades.
In this way their exercise be-
came transformed into an instru.
ment OF historic and ethical cul.
ture."

Guard Your Valuables.

We feel it our duty to warn our city
readers to be on their guard.
The John d. Mabley store, in the very
heart of the business district, was bold
ly entered by robbers a night or two
ago, the safe was blown open and its
contents, around 81 200, carried away.
There have been seven robberies of
the kind in the BUSINESS DISTRICT
of Detroit since the first of the year.
If it has been possible for robbers to
defy the police down town, look at the
extent to which our residence districts
and our homes are exposed.
The police seem unable to cope with
the situation.
Again we say, it is well for everyone
to exercise the greatest precaution, and
we want to ask you:
Where do you keep the eggs?
They are not safe in your home un-
less it is barred at all windows and doors
and provided with a burglar alarm sys-
TEN from cellar to garret. Our advice to
you is to rent a safety deposit vault.
You can afford one if you can afford

PLAY AND IMAGINATION

ale of Personality Psychoogy and Parenthood" etc.

In a certain nursery with which
I am very well acquainted there are
upward OF 30 dolls of all sizes and
descriptions.
Probably the whole collection,
with the snrle exception a large
French doll. could be replaced for
less than two lars.
But the value OF that collection
OF dolls 10 tie intellectual life and
training OF the chilirer who have
and still use them can hardly be
overestimated.
Their names will prove their pc
cuiiar relation TO the intellectual in
terest alluded TO. comprising as they

ward. and a gre.t many others.
Every one o. the names In the
above list is distinctly connected
with the set of ideas which the chill.
dren who own these dolls had
gained. and which they had thought
worth while to give permanent
form"
Here, decidedly. is a harnessing
and developing OF the imagination
through play. whereby knowledge
that might otherwise be gained with
difficulty and soon forgotten Is cas-
lily and lastingly remembered.
Any parent can In some degree
apply this process In the case OF his
own children. He will find that the
effort Is worth making.

THE MORRIS PLAN
ov DR.. FRANK CRANE
tCopyright 1915. b. Frank Cransl

| Ii any one wants to borrow money il
is an easy matter, if he has money al
ready. All you have to do is to 20 to
the lender, deposit your bond, or mort
gage on your farm, and there you are.
But most Of the people who want to
borrow. who need most to borrow, and
to whom borrowing approaches the ur-
gency of life and death. have no nego-
table property, except perhaps their
personal belongings and their wages.
Upon these the burden rests most
gallinely. The more you need money
the harder it is to get it. Then you real
ize that the darky preacher was not so
far wrong when he quoted: ITO him
that hath shall be given; and from him
that hath not shall be taken away that
which he hasn't got"
Upon this hard necessity of the null
titude of poor people, who must have
has fourished an army of vultures. Loan
sharks abound in the wretcheder quar-
ters of every city, sitting like spiders to
suck the life from helpless human flies.
To remedy this condition what is cali
ed "The Morris Plan has been devised.
In the world of business and prosper
| ity, character is negotiable. Even so
practical an authority as j. p. Morgan
declared that character is the basis OF
credit" A mans record and standing
count for something at the bank--that is,
among persons of certain grade.
The Morris Plan extends this idea to
the man without capital. BY it the poor
er man can secure small loan, from
$25 to $1,000, on the same sort of col.
lateral the well-to-do put up, on his rep
utation. his earning capacity, and his
personal indorsers.
The result is an immense alienation
of human misery, lifting bit Of the
distressing load that has crushed so
many hopes and lives, that has pushed
so many souls into desperation and
crime.
| As q recent magazine article says:
"The bricklayer has his note at this
bank. Just like the manufacturer; and
he meets it, just like the manufacturer;
and he gazes at his unmortgaged bed
stead and winds his unmortgaged watch,
and sleeps"
The Industrial Finance Corporation IS
the name of the company that is advanc-
ing, organizing, and financing this idea.
The list of its officers and directors in
cludes the names of business men OF ma
tional reputation. Better than any char
ity is this system whereby they can as
sist their less fortunate fellows to help
themselves.
It is true financial brotherliness. 1t is
big business with heart. 1t is what the
strugglers want, chance, and not what
they don't want charity.
The system is prospering, apparently.
From a recent report we learn that It IS
| in successful operation in % cities in the
United States. The Morris Plan COM
pany. of New York, during the first year
of it's operation loaned about $S5O,OO0 TO
nearly $500 people. The combined COM
panies have loaned more than $12.5O0,-
900 to over 100000 people throughout
the country.
More power to the arm of all those
who use their wealth to help men to help
themselves, relieve poverty by means
that strengthen self-respect, aid by IN
creasing and not humbling manhood!
