PLAY FOR THE CAMPUS AND
THE FORESTS
What Kind Of Play and Recreation
DO We Need Here at Berea?

The answer 10 this question should
be Of special interest at this time
while the plans for the year are be-
ing made. After having spent some
years In studying the play and rec
reation Of this region, venture 10
suggest the following:
I. The kind that will bring every
boy and girl. man and woman out Of
his room onto the campus for actual
participation in the game itself.
Every boy ought TO come with coat
on. and every girl ought TO come in
running suit, all ready TO have a
hand in the play, TO move about, TO
sweat, TO exercise the muscles, TO
laugh, to enjoy II all.
, 2. The kind that will develop in
itiative in all our students. We do
not need cut and dried athletic pro-
grams. We need play: outdoor fun
that will appeal TO the physical
weakling, who needs IL most, as well
as to the physically strong. We need
the kind that students can plan for
themselves under direction-the kind
that brings out the leaders who will
become the directors Of all the rest.
3. We need the kind that can be
carried back TO the open country
where over so percent Of our students
come from,-the play Of the front
yard. the parlor, the school ground,
the forest. the group play where
songs and running and cleverness
abound-the kind that the folks at
home can and will play.
4. We need the kind that will take
our students out among the trees of
the campus, out among the forests
pageants both historical and fanci-
full. This region abounds with his
'torical incidents we'll adapted TO play
Of this kind. Berea ought to pro-
duce these pageants. The adven-
lures Of Daniel Boone, John Sewer,
Kit Carson, Samuel Doak, the early
salt makers, the housebuilders, the
pioneer artisans, Indian Warfare and
the Indian Chase, Negro plantation
life. all offer excellent opportunities
for the rarest kind of outdoor play.
What a wonderful setting for a
great historical pageant Of pioneer
days is offered by Robes Mountain,
the Indian Fort and the Pinnacle.
All these stand waiting for us-a
great stage with the scenery already
arranged.
S, We need literary plays. The
campus Is an ideal stage for Shakes
peare. No student can ever under
stand Shakespeare and enjoy him
heartily without playing his plays.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1920-09-30

How infinitely better would it be,
how much more joy and exercise
and fun and life the students would
have IL, instead of sitting still in
class-rooms studying rhetoricals they
should learn rhetoricals by playing
among the trees, the things they
merely read or read about in the
classroom
6. We need the kind that young
men and young women play together.
When they are at home they play
together. When they visit a neigh
Dor, they play together. When they
go to bean-stringing. they play to-
gether, and they ought to play to-
gether here on the campus.
Z. And we need little of the old
line athletics. But the major part
Of our time, our first thought, our
program-making ought to be devoted
to play for the masses, the play that
can be emphasized in the open coun-
try, the play that requires no expen-
sive clothing or equipment of anv
nnd.
Is there material available for play
Of this sort?
Our students know vast number
Of games already. They have played
them all their lives; when they re-
turn home they will play them again.
We ought to make use Of that great
treasure Of exercise and fun which
we have so long neglected. There is
no need putting up here something
altogether different from what they
have had. They enjoy these old
games at home, and they would en-
joy them here, If they had chance.
Jessie Bancroft describes about
800 plays and games in her book.
'Tce-B Breakers" contains a large num-
Der Of games that have been used
very successfully with both youth
and adults by Miss Geister.
Stern and Curtis and Scudder and
Dan Beard and the Beard Sisters and
Lee and Newell and a dozen other
writers describe hundreds of plays,
games. stunts, festivals, other forms
Of recreation that are ideal for our
campus and students.
The history of Kentucky, Tennes-
see. the Carolinas, the Virginias
and other neighboring states contain
incidents that supply abundant ma
terial for the rarest kind of pagean-
try. So do~our courses in history,
mythology. and music.
The songs Of the mountains and
of the entire Southland furnish ma
terial for vesper hour sings through
out the year.
There is no end Of material.
What we need to do is to forget
about football and athletics rules
long enough to get all Of our 1909

Sweden and Finland have not been
able to settle the dispute over the
Aland Islands. By location, they
are connected more closely with Fin
land. The greater part of the popu-
lation however. is Swedish. The two
countries have agreed to leave the
matter to the Council of the League
of Nations. The Swedish premier
expressed great confidence in the
League and its ability to make
settlement that would be acceptable.
If the Council finds a way to make
any reasonable adjustment, it will
probably be accepted as better than
irritating uncertainty.

England is apparently entering up
on a new policy in relation to some
of her less progressive dependencies.
Her recognition of Egyptian indie
pendence is followed by a similar plan
for mesapotamia. That newly ac-
quired country is to be given great
measure of local government, even
to the extent Of having a native gov
ernor, if desired Not only is such
a policy consistent with the spirit of
the British Government of today, but
it is good policy and likely TO create
better feeling and ensure the ex-
istence Of the British Empire.

Poland and Lithuania could not
agree on boundary line and war had
actually started when they stopped
fighting; the Lithuanians retired TO a
former line, and the Poles recognized
the neutrality of the territory aban-
doned until a settlement could be
made. The question has been re-
ferred TO the Council of the League
Of Nations, which is to investigate
the boundary question and give a de-
eision. II is for just such service
that the League is fitted and, imper-
feet as its organization is as yet, its
help is sought as a relief from war.

Although the recovery of France is
by no means as rapid as that Of Bel
GUM, yet great progress is being
made. The wheat crop of the year
is large enough to supply bread for
the population until the next harvest.
Many of the destroyed towns are be-
ing rebuilt and new forests are be-
ginning to take the place of those
destroyed. Americans are helping in
the restoration in many ways. Coal
is being mined and more is being re-
ceived from Germany than formerly.

President Wilson has refused to
open negotiations to alter a number
Of treaties with foreign nations
which are not in harmony with q
recent act of Congress which gives
to American vessels entering the
ports of the United States better
terms than vessels Of other countries.
In this refusal he gives occasion for
criticism, but his act is in harmony
with our best traditions and a broad
commercial policy.

Chicago, June 29.--Timely rain in
Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois result
ed in lower prices today for corn
and oats. Corn closed unsettled at
| IA to l 7-8 cent net decline, with
July Sl.757-S@l.76 l-s and Septem-
Der, $l.7l to III Ia. Oats lost IA
to | IL cents. In provisions, the
outcome varied from 5 cents backset
to an advance of 2l-2 cents.
It was generally agreed that the crop
outlook for corn as well as oats had
been improved by the timely distributed
moisture and by the fact that meanwhile
the hot wave had been broken to a
considerable degree. Bearish sentiment re-
gafding corn was further emphasized by
predictions that liberal receipts would
continue during the next week and per-
haps throughout the week following. On
the price downturns that ensued spec
ulative buying was apparent. and numer-
Gus rallies took place, but in no instance
did the market develop strength to touch
the closing figures of the previous day.
In the oats market, better weather
was more than counterbalance for
Iowa and Illinois reports that actual
crop damage had been suffered.
Provisions were firm owing to higher
quotations on hogs. Business consisted
