KINDERGARTEN HELPS FOR PARENTS

Our older children when they
were small played principally with
imported dolls dressed in native

that my brother and I had hand

that my finest dolls were French

There is a two-fold lesson here
for us mothers. One concerns the
children themselves and the other
goes far afield into the laws of eco

| We have found that our own sub
stantial, wooden, easily handled
playthings are what our children
need and want. Children's books
we have a plenty. the most artis-

then we can demand well-mades,

shall discard the essentials as

Hazel Mackaye of Boston
and New York, daughter of Steele Mac
Kaye and sister of the poet, Percy
Mackaye.
And no one is better fitted than Miss
MacKaye TO talk on this subject She
was one of the first persons in the
United States to take up pageantry
and develop it as an art, or a pro-
fession, as It has really become to
her.
Before going into the business of
writing sixteen pageants and produc-
ing many more, Miss MacKaye was on
the stage. She played in three of her
brothers productions and starred in
some Broadway successes.
Her pageants have been on a variety
of subjects. She devoted two years
to the pageant of church history,
Darkness and Light" which was Civ
en- in Boston, Chicago, Baltimore and
Cincinnati. Her suffrage alleGory was
given at the time of President Wilson's
first Inauguration on the steps of the
United States treasury.
Mis- MacKaye is now director of the
department of pageantry and the
drama for the National Board of the
Young Women's Christian Association,
and during the United War Work cam
paign last November she was chosen
by the seven organizations to prepare
pageants which helped to make the

their pent-up emotions. Almost imme-
diately afterwards came a depression.
People, all the more now, demand a
means of securing a great interest in
life beyond the peace conference, a
way of getting together. They not
only want it. but are going to de-
mand it.
What we must do now IS to make
pageantry a peace move-to do the
very things that war does-to unite
people in their desire to serve humani-
ty. Just think what it would mean to q
community if all of the women who
have done Red Cross and other war
work during actual hostilitieS could
catch the vision of lending theIr efforts
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-02-07

drive a success In all parts of the
country.
Miss MacKaye's theory IS that peace
will create a big desire for pageantry
and the drama on the part of the peo-
pie. Now that the war is over" she
says, some people have said to me,
L suppose pageantry will not play so
big a role in welding public opinion.
To which l reply, That is quite wrong.
Peace Will bring an increased desire
for pageantry and the drama
war is always a pageant. The col
ors of war-the men, the women, the
fighting, the armies, the cavalry-all
these make for a tremendous and con
tinuous pageant. Pageantry has been
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-02-07

an accompaniment of war since long
before Christ. Read of wars in the
Bible. They are immense pageants.
The Crusades are great examples of
it, and it is always successful during
times of war, because of the concen-
trated effort to win, which binds the
various peoples together. There is a
big desire to save humanity. People
reach a tremendous pitch Of excite
ment. There is a thrill about every
thing.
after war there is a tremendous de-
preston in stimulus. For an example
of this, witness the great, pageant-like
peace demonstrations in our big cities
so recently, when people expressed
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-02-07

to community service instead OF going
back to the state they were in before
the war. of combining all their efforts
to their own homes or to personal
pleasures
The best way I know OF getting a
thrill-a brass band excitement of col
or, action and the desire TO serve-is
through pageantry. / quote an early
book of my brother, Percy Mackaye,
when / say that 1T is necessary 10
color peace pursuits with the same
thrill and Imagination as war
People of the country were welded
together during the war by one aim,
one desire, one consuming ambition
