TASK OF SHOPPER
Forethought Necessary in Select
ing Toys for Riddles.
Articles That Lead to Conservative
Play Urged by Primary
School Teacher.

THE nice art OF toy selection, II.
anticipation of the Christmas
season, recently was discussed by "a
primary teacher OF the Indianapolis
Normal school before q group of
parents and teachers.
The leading thought of the lectures
was the need OF choosing playthings
that will lead the child to dramatic
or constructive play of its own ilil en-
ton, and conversely, the avoidance of
playthings that are perfect or total.
IN the sense that they speak to the
child's admiration only, and suggest
to it nothing that means action or eff
fort on its own part.
The toy shopper, as his task was
treated by the teacher, has more to
do than to collect at random and
take home in triumph a truck load of
baubles.
The thought used to be-" she said,
that a child's play ought to be Or
dered with view to its preparation
for its adult life. Girls, of old, we're
taught to sew, to make fine stitches,
such as they could put to- practical
use when they grew up. Now we feel
that the eye strain and the nervous
focus required by such a task are TN
desirable. And the tendency is to
make play satisfying to the child's
wants in its child life-to teach it to
make Itself at home and happy in the
here and now-and to trust to that
training to prepare it to care for it.
self equally well in the later stages
of its experience
Blocks, tools, lumber, papers and
pencils and crayOns, cloth and the raw
materials Of every art and craft are
the ideal stuff for the ideal play as it
is discerned in the light Of the later
studies of the child mind, as explained
by the speaker. She illustrated point
after point by actual toys and play
materials.

EaQIet Must Prove Ejtneee

Many were the strange stories told
OF the eagle during antiquity. 1t was
believed to be the messenger and
spirit of Jupiter. One of these stories
and perhaps the most peculiar of all
OF them, is the following told by
Plfny, the great naturalist of ancient
Rome:
AS soon as her fledglings can f1y the
mother eagle takes her young ones
and bids them sit upon a limb In full
view of the setting sun. If one Of
them ever so much as blinks or waters
