Big Variety Described.

TOYS which they concocted range
from string of spools or a wagon
made of a box on a string to more
elaborate constructions such as a
fiddle made from a long and a short
ruler, with the music to be furnished
by the young fiddlers' voices.
"'These constructions indicate
marked capacity of the child to utilize
the materials of his environment"
says DR.. Wagner. ''Playthings
which grow out of the child's every
day experiences, which are the result
of his own effort, possess an intimacy
which is valuable. not only because
it stimulates inventiveness, but also
because it offers opportunity for the
satisfaction inherent in self-aSsertiOn
and in the mastery of materials"
Others More Elaborate.
Toys made by the fathers, mothers
and other relatives were more elab-
crate, including such things as dec
furniture, sleds and swings, kite,
vehicles and sand boxes.
Little is definitely known about the
psychology of playthings, DR.. Wag-
oner says, but she suggests three
points upon which most persons agree:
/. Play materials and playthings
should suggest activity and should
permit activity on the part of the
child .. Playthings should lend
themselves to the constructive efforts
of the children. 8. Playthings should
serve as lay figures upon and about
which the child can drape his ideas.

On the first team.
Practice will go every afternoon in
the week, including Saturday, and
class cams will be played on Tues
days and Thursdays just before
squad practice.
Under new ruling put into ef-
feet this week no member of the
squad can play on class team. As
4 result the entire junior team,
in,er-class series, is dropped from,
the eligibility list. Gordon Landers,
Elmer Benser, Henry Brown, Fred
Landers and Ernest Benser composed
the junior team in previous games
and are all now on the squad. A
new group Of men is being recruit
cd, however, and it is believed that
the juniors will be able to hold their
own despite the sudden change in
their lineup.
Last Fridays game. in which the
juniors played the freshmen, sophs
and seniors, proved to be the high
light of the seasons schedule. In
the first quarter the juniors opposed
the seniors. coming out with 10
score. The sophomores turned the
tables on the second quarter. how
ever. by leading the juniors, 81. In
the third quarter the frosh sent their
team in with the final score 7-6 in
favor of the juniors and in the final
quarter they played their hardest to
, win by 9-8 over a team composed Of
the pick Of the freshman, sophomore
and senior quints.
On this afternoons schedule arc
the freshman VS. the juniors and the
sOphomores VS.. the seniors. Just
what the revamped juniors can do
will he shown by the result Of their
tilt with the frosh.

An organization Of the school trus
tees Of the first and second class DIS
tricts 10 being projected in Montana.
The initiative in the formation Of
this organization Is being taken b,
Robert Elting, clerk Of the BOard Of
Education Of Billings, presumably az
instance Of that board.
Already most Of the first class dis
tricts IN the state have signified
their approval Of the step and doubt
less the matter will now be put
before the second class districts.
The object Of the organization will
be to establish contact between the
boards on matters Of legislation. The
teachers are organized for the pur
pose Of influencing legislative action.
Many school board members believe
that they should present q united
front in asking for help in their
problems.
