COME LET US PLAY
WITH OUR CHILDREN
(By Maud Burnham)

! There are many mothers who are
careful to supply the material wants
of their children, but entirely over
look the importance of joy and hap
piness which are the birthright of
every child; such mothers do not en-
ter the play life of their little ones.
The founder of the Kindergarten ap-
peals to parents thus-"Play is not
trivial it is highly serious and of
deep significance. Cultivate and fos-
ter it, oh mother; protect and guide it,
oh father. To the calm clean vision
of one who truly knows human ma
ture. the Spontaneous play of the child
discloses the future life of the man"
Parents who enter into the play in
terests of their children gain their
confidence and affection. Where
there is real understanding and sym
pathy in the home, children are not
tempted to so to outsiders for amuse-
ment. 1t is only by taking a real in
terest in what the child does that we
draw him to us. We cannot demand
entrance into his life. Parents may
exact obedience, but no one can ex-
act affection
| Happy is the home where the mother
plays with her children. The mother
who works every moment is no joy
to herself or to her family, for If
she does not become irritable she
genearlly smothers spontaneity and
happiness, nor does she ever know
what it means to be glorified mother
at the end of the day.
The "glorified" mother is the one
who finds recreation in having the
family together after the tea things
are put away. She can Join in the
children's games, such as drop the
handkerchief, hide the thimble, con-
undrums, parcheesi, dominos or the
simple card games such as slap jack"
and Everlasting. At other times she
can read aloud the bedtime stories,
but, however she may join her chill
dren in play she should find it her
blessed privilege to bring harmony
and reflection out of the days ex-
periences so that the children will
| feel

FOR PERMANENcY OF BAND.
Movement Started to Have Leitsinger
Return Here to Raising Funds
by Subscription.

Steps are being taken by board of
trade committee, consisting of G. L.
Stickney, w. T.. Haskell and f. j. Fen
ton, to secure the pcrmanency of the
Brattlcboro Military band by having the
leader, Fred G. Leitsingcr, return here
to be with the band as formerly.
Many inquiries have been made as to
whether Brattleboro was to have band
concerts this season, as has been the
custom in past summers, and the re-
spouse has been that concerts would
be given, beginning next week, if suf-
ficient funds could be obtained at once
to secure the services of Mr. Letsingcr
as leader.
Brattlcboro people are well aware that
Mr.. Leitsingcr is now employed in
Greenfield and that it will be necessary
for him to return to Brattlcboro if he
is TO conduct the rehcarsals and con-
ccrts. The appropriation of $500
which the village has made for a series
of concerts is no induccment for Mr.
Lcitsinger to give up his position in
Greenfield, as the money goes for the
players, and the board of trade there
fore, has taken up the matter and ar
rangemcnts have been made whereby
Mr.. Lcitsingcr will return here and re-
main permanently provided sufficient
funds can be raised to make it an OBJ
iect for him to do so, which would guar
antcc the retention of the military band
under his management.
A subscription paper was put in cir
culaton Tuesday and everyone who is
interested in keeping the band together
for concerts and for other occasions for
which it may be available is urged to
make a subscription.
Arrangements have been made for
anyone who is not called upon person
ally and who wishes to help provide
concerts to leave their subscription at
The Phoenix office. Such subscriptions
should be turned in at once, as it will
be necessary to know within day or
two whether it is the desire of the COM
munity to retain the band and to have
the first concert given next week. Here
tofore 16 concerts have been given each
season and the first has been on the
evening of Memorial day. If the con-
certs are started next week they will
be three weeks behind the usual sched-

Preliminary discussion was held
Monday in Festival hall of the plan to
organize Il military company in Brat
tlcboro, also a post of the American

TO call "A general meeting on Friday
night Of this week, to be held in Fcs-
tival hall at s o clock, to get the plans

TREATED OVER $4,000 PATIENTS.
DR.. Harriet E. Parker, Formerly of
East Putney, Reports on Women s
Hospital at Madura.

In the annual report of the Madura
(India) mission field of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions is a statement by DR.. Harriet
T. Parker, formerly of East Putney, of
the work done at the hospital for wo-
men and children, of which she is ply
stefan in charge. She says: "Thc pro-
portion of patients drawn from the diff
ferent classes varies little from year
to year. Indian Christians approach a
third, Hindus two-thirds; Mohammed-
ans always number from 500 to 200
For 1913 the patients were divided as
follows; Indian Christian, $500; Hin
dus, 1856; Mohammedans, S14; Europe
ans and Eurasians, 292; total 1929.
The total treatments given were 1920;
operations LASS; births 244; outside
calls by doctor, 5S4.
Work in the new hospital has con-
tinued throughout the year under the
direction of Mr.. Lawson. There has
been great delay in securing materials
for the sanitary ceiling which eliminates
the visible beams and rafters of the
regulation terrace roof. The roofing is
not yet finished. But in August, just a
year after we vacated the upper story
Oh lIc Ola HoSpltdl, VIC moved OuJ Oh
the lower story and temporarily out of
the Harriet Newell annex (dispensary)
into the new medical block, which was
incomplete but could be used. The
stairs have been built since occupation.
The four single wards for European pa
TENTS now contain three or more In
dian patients each. A bathroom answers
for operation room, dressing room for
labor ward. For lack of fixtures doors
have not been hung except four which
safeguard valuable supplies. 1t is sur
prising that patients have been willing
to stay in so exposed building, but the
verandahs are guarded at night-a dog
on one side, the doctor on the other"
DIR. Parker's report also contains
statements as to the personnel of the
staff and as to the expenses.
