There are two applicants this year

democracy. We point to heroes oil
history, who stood for great princi-
pies. We hang notices on our school
walls. But where do we watch the
young boy or girl experiment with
these principles? Where do we cor
rect, suggest, or add to, and finally
have reason to expect the proper re-
action? The answer is the play yard
the school whether this
be in big city or in an isolated rural
district.
Do parents and teachers generally
recognize the distinction between play
on the one hand and idleness or mere
amusement on the other? Idleness is
an inactive or unOccupied state of
mind and body, a condition which US
ually leads to mischief and often to
mallciouness. Amusement, as usually
understood, is entertainment received
without effort-a satisfaction of some
passing fancy which leaves no con-
structive results. 1t is best exempli-
fed by the concessions in the amuse-
ment parks and to certain extent by
motion pictures. On the other hand,
what is play? Let your boy in the
sixth grade play basketball for twen-
ty minutes. At some other time let
him chip kindling wood for twenty
minutes. At the end of each of these
periods take his temperature and
pulse rate, and see which one of these
activities means exercise to him.
Which aroused his interest? Which did
be put himself into? Why?
Play is one of the deep hungers of !
child life, universal with all peoples
md ages. To the child it is life itself. l.
Consider the play yard as a laboratory
wherein this hunger is given express
jion. The restraint of the, four walls !

group are in the making.
The golden opportunity of the ele-
mentary-grade teacher, and this ap-
plies most forcibly to the rural tea
cher, lies in the play period. Her in
terest in the things closest to the chill
dren's hearts determines whether she
is to occupy the inner or outer circle
of the child's life, whether she is to
be just the teacher or the leader. Let
her enter into the golden heritage by
acquainting herself with the technique
OF play activities. If she can touch
these unfathomed reservoirs OF inter-
est her problems of discipline will
disappear, and the question, Where
does my school stand in training for
citizenship" will be answered.
This whole problem of child engi-
neering becomes, then, a problem of
conservation of leisure time for phys
ical efficiency and the training of cit
izenship. 1t is a problem, not only of
the child but also of the young man
and woman in the late adolescent per-
iOd. With the rapid growth of our
cities floating population, the uues-
tiOn of where these young people are
" 1PCA0 LAO4A '4V4ouAG Jlll6 Is d UuIu-
ing question. The crime wave of the |
past winter may be partly attributed
to commercial recreation. The prob |
lens of the school playground and re-
creation center is to conserve this
leisure time for citizenship. Construc-
tive use of leisure time must be made
as attractive as reVenue-producing
commercial recreation.
We have been talking for years on
problems of conservation-conse
ton of oil, coal, and timber. One of
our Western cities is today spending
for the conservation of
water in one of the rivers of the high
Mountains. This conservation of water
md power is for the service of one
single city; and it shows the emphasis
which we place upon the elements
Which serve the physical needs of a
'eople. Will the time ever come when
he conservation of the leisure time of
be child and adult for good citizen
hip assumes the same proportions
hat the conservation of water, oil,
nd coal assumes in the satisfaction
physical needs?

What Fairgrounds Mean To Children

Exercise for the child, as well as
; the adult, may always be assumed To
be the price of life" in the present
day. Few city children and probably
no adults, are taking enough exercise
to keep themselves in proper physical
condition. Modern machinery has
removed the necessity of exercise;
and because of the universal habit of
Iazlness in all of us, we take Just as
little exercise as possible. Undoubt-
edly this condition will continue un-
less we are driven to exercise under
the stimulus of the play instinct.
In the child, large activity through
play may be encouraged in the physi-
cal education period and expressed in
the play period. By "play PERIOD is
meant the time in the morning before
school, recesses, moons, after school.
Saturdays, Sunday, holidays and va
cations. 1t is estimated and it has
been shown by calculation, that the
average city child spends, 1000 hours
each year in school and 1900 hours
per year on the street-by street is
meant the time spent away from
home, either in the Fairgrounds, park.
or vacant lot, water front, or the ac-
tual street.
1t is not, of course, assumed that all
of this time will be spent in play; but
it is assumed that the opportunity of
expression will be present during
these hours.
Proper exercise during these. play
periods becomes to a large extent the \
basis of health in the child; and at
the same time it becomes not only
the basis of the recreation of the
adult but of the work of the adult.
The second objective of education
which can carry over is citizenship
= Through this citizenship
the playground and the rec
'eation center becomes the great cit
zenship laboratory.
Would you think of teaching chem
stry without laboratory, no chance
'eing given to experiment or correct?
If course not. But do we not need s
ust as much a citizenship laboratory /
f the school, or of the community as {
whole? 9
We talk great deal about training f
itizens. We debate about citizenship. v

REAL MANUAL TRAIN.
ING BEING DONE

This closing year of work in the
Manual Training Department of the
Milford Public Schools, is marked by
unusual success, and splendid inter
est manifested in the course by the
thirty-six boys who have this year
taken this course, and the twenty
girls who have taken the drawing
course in this department; and this
department, like that of Domestic
Science, will be largely increased in
the number of students enrolled for
the course when the schools re-open
next September.
The articles manufactured and
drawings made have a wide range.
and some are real works of art
showing special adaptability for the
several lines of the work by the pu-
pills. Hard wood tables, piano benches,
clothes racks, taborets, cedar chests,
desks and a score Of articles which
have struck the ideas of the students
have been made in manner creditabIe
to many of our hest artisans. The
drawings have been of such high mer-
it, that when shown in competition !
with other schools, their authenticity |
has been questioned by those unac-
quainted with the young ladies and |
men who have accomplished the work,

The liquor interests are planning
to continue their fight to bring back
the outIaWed saloon by the two and
one-half per cent beer and light wine
route. They will try to get the matter
to vote of the people again and it
will be defeated by larger majority
than ever. The thing that hurried
prohibition was the saloon and the
people of this nation will have nothing
to do with it. The liquor people would
stand more show of winning if they
would forget this beer and light wine

The neighbors living round him here
Observed he had curious way
or hiring men from day to day
To wash his windows and to sweep
The sidewalk and the ground to keep;
When one man had the back yard
cleared
Another man next morn appeared
And diligently Mere and then
Tinkered around the yard again.
The windows washed the day before,
The new man shined a little more,
And with the morning there would
come
Another man to polish some;
Each day beheld strange, wan face
Doing odd chores around the place,
Until the neighbors. as they do,
Fell into gossip, wondering who
This regiment OF men might be,
And why this tinkering endlessly.
