Washington D. c.. Sept. "a (Spe-
cial-Senator B. K. Wheeler today
introduced legislation IS. 4377) de-
signed to save school districts in eight
Montana counties s658OOO, this a
mount having been allocated for
school construction purposes to dis
trictS furnishing school facilities to
Indian pupils,
The bill. which specifically will re-
peal the provision of the law re-
qulrlng the recoupment by the United
States OF the sums advanced the dis
triCtS, also affects districts in Wash
ington. California and South Dakota.
The legislation will affect a saving of
S273,000 in these three states. Total
amount covered in the bill is 1881 900.
In introducing his bill, Senator
Wheeler pointed out that the districts
in the counties affected had suffered
materially from a lack of income for
school purposes. and that they had
experienced an increasingly heavy fl
nancial burden. Indian children have
attended these schools for years. He
also brought out the fact that these
Montana counties were among those
that have suffered the most in recent
wears from InfeStation of insects and
drought.
Following its introduction the bill
was referred to the Committee on In
dian Affairs. Senator Wheeler rank
ing majority member of the Commit
tee said he would press for quick &C
ton.
II explaining the need for this type
OF legislation Senator Wheeler said
that his individual bills providing for
school construction purposes became
law i'll 1884 However. in 1895. when
funds were provided for the construc-
ton. the authorization bill provided
that any amount expended on any
project hereunder shall be recouped
by the United States within a period
OF 30 wears . . and in computing the
amount of recoupment for each pro-
Ject interest at per centum per an
mum shall be included on unrecouped
balances"
The bill introduced by Senator
Wheeler today will strike out that
part OF the original appropriation bill
quoted in the paragraph above. leaving

mented Small furniture, low pictures
placed at the child's eye level and play
equipment suitable for the young
child all fit into the general scheme g
A variety of play equipment is pro-
vided. Because the attention span of
the year OLD averages only two and
one-half minutes and that of the
four year old does not exceed Is to
20 minutes. Montana nursery schools
try to furnish three to four times as
much equipment for possible play &C
tivltieS as there are children. Null
tlple uses Of toys such as a wagon
for hauling. pulling and riding. help
to increase the number of play ac-
tivities.
Equipment is provided TO stimulate
both active and quiet play. Outdoor
equipment including Ginning bars.
swings and teeters stimulate active
play. Clay. sand. paper cutting and
books encourage quiet play indoors
There is a natural rhythm between
activity and relaxation in both chill
dren and adults. An attempt is made
to preserve this rhythm in the play
OF nursery school children
Children are free to play with any

they may leave it when they desire
