Some more tough luck: 1t looks as
II we were stuck for trucks to take
us out to Acker's Beach for the
annual Playground picnic, that event
to which playgrounders look forward
the whole summer. But wait, we'll
fool 'em, if we can't go out there.
We can have a picnic on each ground.
True. there won't be the huge mer-
ry ground, nor the kind of swings
there are at Acker's. but we can
give out the ice cream free at each
of the grounds and maybe some APP
piles or doughnuts, or something else
to tickle the palate. Now hold on,
don't go up in the air yet; we're
stating nothing definite as yet. but
the fact is. We aren't sure of the
trucks, and since the trolly strike
will no doubt be much in evidence at
that time, there seems to be no way
of getting out there. And hat be-
ing the case it looks as if we'd have
to bring the best part of the picnic
to each of the grounds and that is
just what we contemplate doing.
How does that hit you? Ice cream,
apples. doughnuts, etc!i!ii

The Philosophy OF Play

Inc PnuOSOpny vi fluy
We are inclined to believe with
Socrates hat IL a thing is good it
must be good for something. Higher
animals were educated by their par
ents before man came upon this
globe; the lower savages educated
their children. Came the survival of
the %fittest; the boldest and most
vigorous men were sifted put at the
first to start the newer necessities
of life. AS wealth increased man was
no longer satisfied with farming for
food and clothing. Increased luxury
brot increased mortality, and bad
times prevailed. The average man
needs more outdoor exercise than he
once did. A new system of educ
alton must be made to meet the new
needs; we must know how growth
takes place in man, and know the
laws of Nature and their significance.
Life is "a series of response to
stimfIi. New animal life advanced
as each one endeavored to meet
some new phase of life. Sensory
stimuli, their responses and muscle
movement go hand in hand,-they
make of man what he is today. The
young child is largely animal, and it
should be the aim of today's order
to keep him a healthy animal. Hav-
ing gained a new insight into the
laws of Nature and in growth and
development, We know now hat the
child plays because he has to. 1t
is Natures way, and her way is
economical above all. In the same
way that Nature causes a chicken to
successfully pass thru its embryonic
stages. 10 Nature takes Care OF the
development of the child. The child
passes thru four stages: animal. an
thropcid, half barbarian All c~iviliz-
ed man. In the early stages the
child develops in his own way and
interference is not to be tolerated.
Natures method is play; purposeful
play, and play the child will.

A struggle for the presidency Of
the senate will take place at the

is probable that the party which
is able to annex the support of the
other will be in the majority md
