FREDERICK

A pleasing innovation in the',wa,
OF PLAY Day" was introduced here
on Wednesday of last week will
Frederica as the hostess school. The
visiting schools were Magnolia
Pennington and Houston. The ar.
rangements were made by George F
Hendricks, State Director of Physi.
cal and Health Education; Super.
visor George r. Miller, Jr., and the
principals of the schools. Mrs. G.. F
Hendricks also gave valuable assis-
tance. The responsibilities for the
day were distributed among the tea
chers so that every child present
should nave an active share as a
participant in the activities. Princi-
pal f. w. Mick also assigned his pu-
pills to special duties to provide re-
freshments and comfort to the Wis
itors.
The primary purpose of Play Day
Is not to determine inter-school or
individual championship, but for
mass participation in relay races,
story plays, hunting games, rhythm
ical activities and athletic games.
The slogan is "a game for every
child and every child in a game"
A selection from all types Of ac-
tivities as outlined for. the elemen-
tary grades was used which elimi-
mated working up special features
and disturbing the daily program for
rehearsal. The use of Play Days at
the close of the spring program of
fers an incentive for teachers and
pupils to carry on a progressive pro-
gram from month to month which
makes the selection easy for that
special day.
The activities also afforded enter
tainment for the parents and other
visitors who sat in the grand stand
and watched the proceedings.
At the close of the program the
entire group assembled and sang
"Auld Lang Syne," which gave
mutual feeling of understanding and
solidarity. We consider "Play Day"
a big success.
