He divided the child s life into the
various play periods, giving the games
appSspriats for each period. He stated
that from the age Of one to\threeyears
the child i p1fely selfsh; its games
are purely lersdhal, and ractieally all
its movements are with trunk. From
four TO six years the child learns to use
Ills Imagination and to develop the
finer movements Of the limbs, and be
gins to devise the companionship OF
cher children, and its games are those
involving groups. From seven to nine
years ideals Of character with the .abil.
ity TO anticipate results are developed.
During this period the physical condi-
tion Of the child is at its lowest point,
for this Is essentially transition per.
iod. The period from ten TO twelve is
the most valuable, for the formation of
habits and the child & activity is at its
highest point, and games involving
skill and mentality can be used on the
playground.
Every child should have the instinct
for play considered and cared for, for
unless he plays as child this instinct
will die ont and not appear again.
Play, for al animals, develops the
qualities that win be needed in matur.
itv and should be carefully guided.
In the absence of the president and
I vice.president, the secretary, Mrs W.
G. Avery, presided. Refreshments were
served after the address by the after
noon hostesses, Mrs. Lydgate and Mrs.
