HENRY FORD TELLS WHY
HE is FOR WILSON,

Henry Ford, the great automo-
bile manufacturer, one of the most
marvelcuslv successful business
men the world has ever known, is
supporting the candidacy of Pres
ident Wilson and gives his rea-
sons for doing 50. He says:
Val Street Caanot Control H;;n1.
To begin with, I'm supporting
Wilson because Wall Street is sup
porting the other man, or, rather,
because Wall Street is against
Wilson.
I'm for Wilson because he is "on
to the interests-tile unseen
hands that seek to control GOV
ernment-and is holding them off.
, That he IS ''on to- them and is
holding them of is proved bv his
refusal to rush into war with Mex
leo, sacrificing the lives Of thous-
ands Of young Americans to save
the dollars that Wall Street ha>
Invested in Mexico on a gamble.
For this one reason alone The
nation is under an obligation tc

No citizen is in doubt as to the

statement: Il will be firm"

Belgium figures in his speeches,

to drag a word from him with regard

| His lips wer sealed during the days
when the Eight Hour bill was before

sent no word to Republican senators

before the ink was dry on the Pres

ming and jumping are both print
tive in origin and of much value
as exercise.
Various movements are spon-
taneous and are for the sake OF
the activity itself. The child is a
young scrobat. He likes to climb,
get down on all tours, and roll and
tumble.
A child is eager to communicate.
He tells things through bodily
action before verbal language is
fully at command. Gestures OF
hand and body are fundamental
movements.
A child is greatly interested in
the movements of people about
him. He spontaneously follows
people around, initiates postures,
facial expressions. In a more
conscious way he initiates social
customs and the attitudes OF
people of different places. The
human body is set to its own
rhythm, and the healthy child
freely moves in certain regulari-
ty.
The child who is musical by
nature will move spontaneously
when music begins. All children
are more or less interested in hear
ing music and n marching along
in time. Out of this grows great
err power in rhythmic expression
in varied forms.
A child of this age lives much
in a world of make believe. He
initiates imaginary people and
owns imaginary things. He in
terprets life through dramatic
play, puts himself in the place OF
people and so investigates what
he sees them do. Therefore, plays
and games are the product OF
physical activity and the begin
nings of the arts of motion.
There are four main purposes
in using plays and games in
school.
/. By giving the children free
dom and variety Of movement.
Such gymnastics as swinging on
broomsticks, lifting blocks, jump
ing and running, bouncing large
balls, are given each day so as to
bring the large groups of muscles
into play.
