ETUUhbhfiSs
~ LOwLY but surely the schools
are learning how to include
within their general course
Of instruction all the community
play and entertainment necessary
for needs Of amusement, recSeation
and character development.
Already few Of the most pro-
gressive schools are going into the
problem of social entertainment
as seriously as they regard the
instruction in the traditional sub
jects. In Neodesha, Kansas. for
example, there may be found the
following list OF school orgsniza-
tons taking care Of the social and
recreational needs OF all the six
upper grades:
A Hi-Y Club OF boys: an all
girls club: a senior orchestra,
sixty pieces; a junior orchestra,
thirty pieces; a high school chorus:
a dramatic and literary club: q
fine art club; a Boy Scout unit:
a Camp Fire unit. and q debating
society.
A big combination gymnasium.
auditorium furnishes the space for
every kind of performance neces.
sary for the course as here COM
mended. Whether It be q staae
performance. a basketball game or
a mixer party, by a quick shift in
the furniture the big space is
made ready for the enticing affair.
No pupil is expected to belong to
more than two or three of the fore
going clubs and yet every pupil IL
expected to participate In at least
one Of them. With the use Of this
abundance OF material the week
end social and entertainment af-
fairs are supplied with every neces.
sary type of performers.
In short, the school children OF
this country are not only learning
to take their places as amateur en-
tertainers, but they are learning
to sell their stage performances to
themselves. In time they will not
have to go to the street and invest
in the commercial types of amuse-
ment.
What the country at large needs
just now. however, Is to have this
method fully extended and care
fully wrought into q course. The
amusement and entertainment Of
the pupils constitute a most vital
part Of their education. Hence,
there is a demand here for expert
instruction.
We know when to teach tho
child geography and history and
how much time In required for
these traditional subjects, but as
yet we have no Standardization of
time, amount and arrangement for
teaching such important modern
topics as play. athletics, dramatics
and sociability. -.
On account of our not being able
to meet the demands Of the new
disciplines as listed above, society
tends all the time to break down at
the point OF its Juvenile stratum.

The Sag at
Forty
BY Brice Belden, M. d.

IYNTIL an active man reaches
IL the age OF forty his waist
ought to remain smaller
then his chest. II the waist at
forty measures a little more than
the chest. less harm will accrue II
the increased girth is due to fat
than saggtng.
Sagging indicates a loss Of tone
Of the local muscles. and is an
index Of general loss Of tone
throughout the body. In such a
case the individual is apt to real.
lie the significance Of these
changes, for he IL usually con.
scious Of a loss Of vigor. He has
less pep" than he ought to have.
The after.forty sag is worse still
Then the sag indicates an excess
Of blood in the digestive and asso-
ciated organs and a deficiency of
blood in the brain and muscles.
All the muscles OF the body are
flabby. Even the muscles Of the
double chin are due to relaxation.
An active brain. II will be seen,
depends largely upon an active
body. Drowsiness is one OF the
results Of a poor cerebral circula-
ton. Similarly, poor general cir
culation means lazy muscles and
an inactive liver; all the vital
organs, in fact. participate in the
general let-down. and resistance,
stamina and vital energy are low
cred.
Chronic mental and physical ex-
haustion Is thus brought about.
But tho saddest part OF the story
Is that these troubles are pre-.
ventable.
The reason why saEging short
ems the wind Is because Of the
downward drag on the diaphragm,
the muscle which, when 1t can rise
properly, ventilates the lungs and
makes their normal action posi-
BILE. Thus, there Is not only q me-
chancal difficulty, but the pois-
oned air In tho lungs is not forced
out, and this adds to the individ-
uai's sense Of fatigue.

SOLAR VAGABONDS
BY Garrett p. Seryiss-

many cases by the interference OF
the planets been changed into
shorter and more rounded paths.
The later view assumes that
what we might call the seeds Of
comets are small patches Of nebu-
lous or meteoric matter. having a
common origin with the sun and
its planets, but scattered far
abroad In surrounding space,
though sharing with the system
in its motion toward the constella-
ton Hercules. The sun, together
with the planets and the scat
tered stuff Of the comets, moves
as II all were carried along by a
mysterious current in space.
Now. to explain the difference
between the orbits of the planets
and those Of the comets. The plan
cts are all relatively near the sun,
and all travel around the sun in
the same direction. in orbits that
are not very far from circular, ex-
cept In the case of some asteroids.
with a similar exception, the
orbits all lie nearly In the same
plane. The nearer planets all turn
on their axes in the same dtrec-
ton. A study Of these conditions
leads irresistibly to the conclusion
that the planet originated bv a
common process going or near to
the center Of the system.
On the other hand, the comets
travel around the sun in all posi-
bic directions, and in all sorts of
planes, In very elongated and often
excessively elongated orbits, and
offer no evidence Of having been
formed as members of an orderly
system. A considerable number
or small comets, II is true, now
travel around the sun In quite reg.

ten years In length, but these have

tenn. They are drawn in toward
the sun almost as directly as a
stone drops under the pull OF grav-
ity. Yet their motion is not in a
straight line. and as they get near
the sun the curve of their real
path carries them past the solar
globe-sometimes almost grazing
It. After having. by virtue Of the
tremendous velocity that they have
acquired, rushed close round the
sun like a swung partner in a
dance, they hurry away again,
somewhat as a pendulum, having
attained its greatest velocity at
the lowest point, swings past and
rises once more.
Mathematical considerations show,
however, that the paths Of comets
paying their first visit to the sun
cannot he hyperbolas. as they
seem to be, nor parabolas. but are
probably extremely elongated
ellipses.

CHILD ENTERTAINERS
A GREAT LESSON FOR THE SCHOOL
BY DIR. VIM. A. McKeeyer-

The valuable lessons learned In the
old-fashioned class room crumble
in their effects when they meet the
evil influences of mismanaged en-
tertainment and amusement.
Perhaps II Is reasonable to say
that every ordinary child may be
made an amateur performer in
some capactty-drama, music, pa
geant. reading. painting. athletics,
or what not. And Il has been es-
tablished beyond a doubt that child
hood Is the proper time for giving
easy instruction In these theatri-
calls. Moreover. the preasent day
need for amateur performers 10 90
great that the entire school system
must certainly soon yield to the de-
mand.
