Toys For Children

When we buy playthings, we ex-
pect to buy happiness for our child
rem. If we succeed, we feel that the
expenditure was worth while but II
the toy fails in its purpose, we are
disappointed.
Child psychologists have found,
by observing children closely while
they play, that play is really q
childs work his way of learning
about the world in which he lives.
From infancy through childhood,
everything he plays with contri-
butes to his growing fund of know
ledge. ~
These teachers also have found
that the playthings which make
children happiest are those which
exactly meet their growing physi..
cal and mental abilities, and which
give them an opportunity for a var
iety of experiences.
Suggested Playthings
One psychologist has made a
practical division Of playthings as
follows: ~ +
Toys for the infant before he can
walk. Ese.a-..z .....-. ....z.
Toys for developing physical skill
and strength.
Toys for constructive and creative
play.
Toys for social development.
Toys for artistic development (arts
and crafts). -.
Toys for stimulating knowledge
and aiding In school work.
Toys for developing an interest in
science. y az 49,

To Be Asked
~ the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Nov. ga bill pro-
yiding for the illumination OF the
Washington boulevard is expected
to be introduced in the next session
of the Legislature, Harold II.
Buckles, field representative OF the
Baltimore Washington Boulevard
Association, said today.
The program, which would cost
an estimated 100000, calls for
the installation of lights at intervals
of 200 feet. The United States
Bureau of Public Roads has agreed
to pay half of the cost, Mr.. Buckles
said.
Sponsors of the improvement con-
tend lighting the highway would
reduce fatal accidents as much as
SO per cent. Thirty-one persons
were killed on the highway last
year, Is of them after dark.
The improvement program also
calls for widening of bridges and
culverts, sterilization of shoulders
and resurfacing and safeguarding
curves.
