GRID TEAMS USE MASS PLAY
New Style of Attack Has Been Legal
lied by Rules Committee-Tackling
From Behind Prohibited.

The mass play devised by George
Foster Sanford, the Rutgers college
coach, may be adopted by elevens of
other colleges as n result Of the an
nouncement that the new style of at
tack has been legalized by the football
rules committee. The play consists of
the alignment of three of the four
backs Immediately behind three adj
joining players on the forward line.
1t was used effectively by the Rutgers
eleven and proved formidable when a
little ground was needed to retain the
ball or when the team was near the
enemy's goal, but in one instance last
season it was declared illegal.
Mr.. Sanford submitted the question
of its legality to the rules committee
and obtained a decision that the play
was legitimate provided no part Of the
bodies of the three players forming the
secondary attacking line was within
one yard of the line of scrimmage.
A suggestion by Mr.. Sanford that a
rule should be adopted prohibiting the
cutting down of a player from behind
was approved by the committee in
formally. He described 1t as ''the most
dastardly play in football, ham,
stringing, knee-breaking, face-smash-
ing play that allows man on one
side to injure member of an opposing
eleven"

purpose is the teachers character, his
attitude toward children. We may i'm
deed find a talented artist who Is also
satisfactory teacher; but the cOmbi-
nation is extremely rare. The ac-
cOmplished artist is likely to see in
the pupil a potential performer or Gre
ator, and to have little patience when
the symptoms of talent are slow to
manifest themselves. When talent is
discovered il will be time enough to
train for specialization.
Whether we provide special instruc-
tion for children or not, we can at
least put forth an effort to make the
surroundings in the home contribute as
much as possible to the cultivation of
taste. This requires an effort, but is
worth what il costs. Unless we have
well-developed tastes and standards
ourselves we are very easily imposed
upon by the fashions" and by the
tendency to initiate, often unconscious
ly, those for whom we have some re-
gard. If we devote some thought to
the children's dress and TO the way
our rooms are furnished, we shall be
carrying on an education in art. This
does not mean that we must buy only
the expensive or the fashionable. II
means taking the trouble to find out
what is best. 1t is possible to get
cheap reproductions of the best pic
lures, just as we can get cheap edi-
tions of the worlds best books. In the
matter of pictures, it is well to have
before the child only a few at a time,
and to change them at intervals. For
this purpose frames with removable

TRAINING TODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
How the Infant May Be Started in
the Ways of Culture.
ART, LITERATURE AND MUSIC
Let the Child Know All He Can Of
These II You Would Refine His
Appreciation and Discover
His Capacity.
BY sIpoNIE M. eRUENeERc.

COME time during the last century
- parents with solicitude for the high
er life of their children, and with the
means TO give the children fuller op-
pOrtunities, discovered that training
in the "arts" would add both to the en-
jOyment of life and to the esteem of
their fellows. But in providing the in
struction in music or painting they had
resort to musicians and painters. And
these specialists in art taught the chill
dren from the point of view of training
specialized performers, which most of
the children were never going to be-
come. The result was in most cases
a rather superficial accomplishment,
which had, indeed, its social value, but
which meant very little either as per-
formance or as enrichment of life.
Several things have happened to
make us change our attitude in these
matters. With all the bad performing
extending to ever larger circles of our
population, there came more critical
recognition of the real quality of our
vulgariZed playing and painting. There
came also, quite incidentally as it
were, a growing appreciation of the
arts-the mechanical reproduction of
good music and of good pictures being
very largely responsible for this, in
making accessible TO almost every per-
son the opportunity to hear and see the
best as well as the tawdry. Moreover,
our thinking about the development of
the mental and emotional life as prob
lens in education and training, has
brought us TO realization of the more
valuable part of the child's contact
with art forms.
We are thus in a position to look
upon the arts in the life of the child
in terms of enlarging the child's life,
and not in terms of perform
ing for the approval or admiration
of others. And we are in a position to
think of the training from the profes-
sional side. If then we still place be-
fore the child the clay or the paint
brush, the piano or the violin, 1t is not
so much in the hope of making a name
for the family. Rather is it In the ex
pectation that the child may thus be
enabled to find himself, that he may
acquire further means of expression,
that he may add to his enjoyment of
life through acquaintance with the
emotional resources of the various
arts. For most children, that is, the
study of music and drawing should be
not primarily for the purpose of culti-
waiting technical proficiency, but for
the purpose of cultivating deeper ap-
precautions through an understanding
of form, design, etc. This is quite the
same as our teaching of literature to
children. Some of them may become
creative artists-and this often in spite
of the schooling-but for most children
we hope merely to increase and to re-
fine the appreciation of good litera-
ture.
Both for the purpose of refining the
appreciation and for the purpose Of

frame. Let us remember that the
younger children are likely to see very
little in black-and-white picture un-
til after colored pictures have made
them familiar with seeing the world
in fiat surface.
We must do what we can to expand
the child's horizon by visits to the
museums, by providing opportunities
to see and hear the best that the hui
man spirit has brought forth. But we
must not overlook the fact that the
most continuous and the most impress
sive molders of his tastes lie in the
immediate surroundings-hi clothes
and his furnlture-his books and his
conversation, and his opportunities to
express himself through his own ac-
tivities.
