play with work and play hours shall
not be devoted to empty trash. Old
folk songs are sung and old folk dances
danced. Games handed down by ira
ditions from medieval days are played.
Vain outward forms are banned, but
an effort is made to adapt costume
and all accessories in a manner to
further a new feeling for beauty.
Seek New Culture.
The movement already has sue
ceeded in causing the formerly strik-
ing outward, difference between
"bourgeoise" and "proletarian" to dis
appear. The period is also past when

and when the expression youth move
