HOMEMADE "BEACH"


One family, living in a second

I am writing for the masses.
Because comparative few of the
children are able to get to the

they are all SO blest and happy.
1t is not so. The great throngs
are cramped and suffering. If
their bodies are wronged their
minds must deteriorate also.
Then. morals must sag and the
spiritual interests must wane.
You cannot neglect any single
part of the child's care and still
assume reasonably that his other
interest will be safe. It is much
easier to care for the whole child
than to attend we'll to a part of
his nature and carelessIy to an
other part.

in front of Number Two School.
Neale broke into a run and COM
ing up breathless plungedA into
the scrimmage.
A Rough Game.
Skinny as played on Union Hill
in the nineties had none Of the
refinements of it's digified cousin,
fieId-hockey. Roughly divided in
to two sides, an indeterminate
number of players tried with
their sticks to knock a hard rub
Der ball to opposite ends of a
block. Team work was elemen-
tary: the slowest runner on each
side lay back to tend COOL; the
rest, following the fortunes Of
the ball, pelted to and fro in a
seething melee Of scuffling feet
and clashing sticks. After each
goal the. ball was brought to the
middle of the block, the two
captains took their stand with
sticks on either side of it. "One,"
they raped their sticks on the
pavement; two" they raped
them together; lone, two. one,

little boys battling around the
ball as it shot up and down,
sometimes advancing rapidly,
sometimes stationary among a
vortex of locked sticks until
finally a lucky knock drove it
past one or the other side street.
Once as they were walking
back after a goal, Fatty Schmidt
noticed Neale's new weapon. "Oh,
you gotta new Skinny. Where'd
you get it? Swartz? Huh, them
kind amt no good; they split"
Neale was silent as an Iroquois,
but he had already begun to
doubt. The heavy new stick
didn't seem to be turning out
what he had expected. It tripped
him up occasionally and he never
got it on the ball as quickly as
he had his old homemade locust
shoot with the knob of root at
the end. But he kept his doubts

Hundreds of thousands of chill

no access daily to beach, brook

Many of them will be in more or

The intense heat deranges the

A wash tub filled to the brim
