THE VALUE OF AMUSE-

Amusements serve important pur.

and produce important effects upon
happiness and character. Like an
oasis Ia the desert they are the rest.
fngssand refreshing. places! in...which
to1lsmay relax, the depending mind

They are. in another view, important
to the dignity of human character.
The Puritan idea of austere serious
ness is as asasharmful as the other ex-
treme of unrestrained license Child
rem must have fun and relaxation,
The natural bouyant spirit Of the
young cannot be repressed We must
haveAan outlet for our superabundance
OF animal spirits, ana, if not given a
legitimate way in which to -expend
this energy, will invariably seek places
OF a questionable character, for an
outlet we must. have, and so our
energy should be directed in the prop
er channels. Therefore, citizens, give
us a properly equipped playground,
and make the coming generations
healthy and happy and this will be a
pleasant memory to carry into the
outer world
