NEW SUMMER SCHOOL
BY DIR. VIM. A. McKeever-

small beginnings were made on
this Bible course last summer.
Now 1t will be made more inter
F. esting through it's relation to play
and entering industry.
The charm of variety and change
will be a strong feature of the new
vacation school, and the influence
Of group behavior will also be
taken. into account. Work Is a
tonic for play and play 10 a tonic
for work. To alternate these is
practically to double the value of
each. The Bible lessons will count
as merely a different kind of in
dustrial duty.
A strong consideration in favor
of cultural industry as added va
cation pastime for the children Is
the advantage II offer them to
learn the crude beginnings of
many OF the kinds Of employment
which today engage the effort of
the masses OF the population-the
production land manufacture of
goods.
Possible objectors here must be
assured that children will not be
given vacation work with the
thought Of exploiting them or of
introducing them earlier to labor
employment. The tasks assigned
in the new vacation school are
fitted to the needs of the young as
merely practice play, or purpose
play" as some have designated 1t.

NeW Three
Piece Suits
BY Rita Stuyvesant.

q OMETHING, original is the
three-piece suit, for after
noon wear. A little more
dressy than the popular tweed.
1t is worn at tea-time, matinee
and for shopping. One of the ad-
vantages of the three-piece suit
is the fact that when the jacket
is removed. one may appear at
ease in a stunning one-piece frock.
Battleship grey twill is the ma
terial Of one Of the smartest re-
Gently displayed. 1t is combined
with Harding blue silk crepe, with
hat to match, pumps and hosiery
Of the grey suede. The coat is a
long loose box effect, trimmed
with folds of the material. and
has flare sleeves. ..--..
The skirt is simple. slim and
from the hips up is attached to a
blouse of the blue crepe, with
long sleeves gathered in at the
wrists and the new oval neck.
The blouse shows bit under the
jacket to form a vest effect and
the blue sleeves peep out under
the grey of the coat.
Another clever suit is of navy
blue tricotine with lavish en-
broidery In henna braid. There
is a dapper blouse Of the henna
Canton crepe. turned under at the
hips, that tops a plain skirt Of the
navy. A henna hat is worn with
this trim suit.
Beige Pico twill is combined
with a bodice of Arab brown crepe
Isolde to create another stunning
suit for spring. The Jacket Is
long and loose, flaring out from
the shoulders to the hips, and
finished with brown bone buttons.
Brown pumps and tailored hat
complete this costume.
Navy blue with blouse and hat
of periwinkle blue makes another
attractive outfit for the spring
days, and this bodice is a snug
affair draped In close about the
figure. The hat is also OF the
crepe and trimmed with colorful
flowers. r......

" HE children Of many COM
munities are destined to en-
joy a new, more complete
kind Of vacation school by the
time another summer arrives. II
is the play-work Bible school and
is being encouraged by many mig
church organizations and Sunday
schools. The management will
seek to make the new movement
joyous, useful and effective for
character development.
The summer playground move
ment has not done well In this
country except in q few isolated
cases. There is a feeling every.
where that II costs too much in
proportion to it's net returns. Its
chief fault is onesideness. featur-
ing only one OF the essential in
terests of children. Its second
fault has been a Joy aim-namely
to offer play merely as fun and
good times.
But the three divisional move
ment Is starting out, with a higher
aim and more unified purpose:
to perfect the character Of the
child and to unite in a bond sew
eral Of the native interests. 1t is
figured that the same amount OF
money and effort as given TO the
old playground movement will do
quite as much for play under the
new plan, and 1t will do quite as
much for cultural industry and for
moralS and religion.
The general plan of the new
vacation school is too have the
child take course in light in
dustry-enough to fit his age and
the needs of his character. during
brief daily forenoon period. On
one day of the week he NAV sub
stitute an assignment in Bible
study and recitation for the in
dustrial task. The heads Of nearly
all the leading churches are ap-
parently getting ready to meet
this arrangement with carefully
prepared courses in the Old end
New Testament Scriptures. Many
